(we are just kidding, of course -- nobody would really have multiple wrecks in the same exact area, they generally spread them out over miles and miles.   And nobody really runs their bike off the road into a dirt embankment, they always seem to pick the jaggedy rock embankments to do that sorta trick)


....... mebbie we need to carry a gallon of black paint and a roller?

I've got my GoPro camera handlebar mounted and ready to film the festivities as well. I'm really thinking about trying out the helmet-cam mount this time since I videoed the whole thing in April from the handlebars. You know, I'm almost talking myself into riding the bike there, instead of trailering. I don't know if I'm up for the 8 hour ride back though.

Since I'm gonna be trucking my bike up there so I can bring a grill as well what's the best way to unload/load the bike there?  I've got an 18" retaining wall at the edge of the yard so it's easy for me to back up to it and do it at home.

I am fairly sure they have an unload point up there.  

If not, wait until 2 others arrive and one holds the handle bars while the other two lift it down from both sides (~ 75lbs per person to lift down half a bike).

Odds are you have an unload point and a lot of potential help around the camp ground -- bikers are generally helpful people.

I'll have a ramp with me in my truck but it won't be arriving at the gap until sat afternoon with the "Toymaker Motorcycle Gang". Hmmm, Toymaker motorcycle gang doesn't sound very threatening. maybe "The Savages" would be better. Anyway, I'll have a ramp.

I kinda like "Wild Savages" for those of us at the campground, sleeping on the ground, cooking meat on a stick over a fire Grin I even got the scull face mask like wild hogs Wink, now if I could just get the wifey to embroider them patches for our leathers?

From what I've been reading here I'm not sure I'm wild enough to hang with you guys.

Wild or rough savages works for the campground bunch

And hole in the wall gang certainly works for the more civilized group.

I think Wild Savages for all of us...Rough Savages for the camping crowd, and "Hole in the wall gang" for the non-roughing ones.

Now even Bigzuk is getting into the spirit of the trip.

Bigzuk, we talk us a good story but we never actually DO any of the stuff you read about in these threads.  We is frauds -- never changed a foot peg nor slathered somebody's crack to keep them from oozing fluids.  Never had no such stuff happen -- pirate's honor, matie.

We is nice quiet people, never ever got rowdy or nothing ...

You can feel safe riding with us as we wouldn't do nuthing that would gecher hurt, matie.

See, we even got us a Mary Poppins along to put a bandaid on yer ouchie should you burn yourself on your frying pan cooking over that there dangerous look'n camp fire.


=========


Arrrgh -- it's Sunday, DAY 5 of the count down matie, as in 5-4-3-2-1

We is officially in the short strokes now, boys !!

Sounds like we'll have plenty of cameras to document THE GATHERING.  We can video each other videoing each other . Is that an incestuous relationship ?  Roll Eyes

Yeah, lots of cameras just like last time.   Heck, we even had us a vid of (censored) taking him a leak up on the road edge of the Blue Ridge Parkway, in front of God and all the passers by ...

We takes us all them cute videos you could want to take while'st its going on, then we have us an after action meeting in front of Toymaker's big PC screen and we catches us a quick preview of the standard wimmen's reaction to seeing the hard evidence of what we've just been up to.

Then the motto suddenly gets enforced because we all suddenly realize all our cute pics and vids constitute hard EVIDENCE of SWMBO strongly disapproved "selfishly putting your family's future at risk" or "acting like an ass" type activities.  

Remember Ed's face when he saw what sorta reaction his little embankment flying flippy episode got from Toymaker's wimmen -- all them big eyes and little gaspy sounds, all them little soft hands trembling at their mouths and all.

Yep, lots of pic and video technical difficulty was had from that point forward.  We had us a right hard time faking us up a wrecked motorcycle by exaggerating the mild damage that took place when Ed's bike fell sideways off the trailer when we were trying to reload it into a full blown motorcycle wreck (or two torn up bikes as the case may be, it was never really clear) ----

Some of them cameras just plain malfunctioned completely, now didn't they Lancer?   What did Lady Godiva look like, up close in the face?  

We will never know .....
