Lancer.....We are sure gonna miss you this year. Whose gonna keep us all in good behavior?
Thank you.
I started missing the mountain air months ago.
Keeping in good behavior ? ? ?
While riding in the mountains ?
With a bunch of unruly characters ? ?
That's an impossible task.

Take cheer, Lancer. We rode together as fast and as far and for as long as we could up in them thar purty mountains.
And we will get to see you in the fall for the fall scoot & shoot at WD's place so we won't forget what you look like.

Something like that. I generally just count up the various trips because we generally had something going both summer and fall for the past 3 years.
Counting trips, we are well over 12 trips now. The small ones were the best, imho, with you me and MM jest a going up & doing it.
My mother in law had a birthday party this past Saturday and she insisted everybody watch "The Carolina Traveller goes to the Dragon" that she had taped, a 10 minute episode about Deals Gap and how dangerous it was. Did you know that over 50 non-fatal injuries take place in each of the summer months, with an average of a fatality a month and it is the rated most dangerous road in the lower 48 states?
BAD IDEA, that -- all the old hens started clucking about how I was going to get hurt going up there with all those hundreds of crazy motorcycle people. I set them straight on that topic, I was the one that the "they" needed to be afraid of, not the other way around.
My daughter got it and gave me the quiet grin, my wife has always known it but she didn't like me saying it out loud in front of the hens.

Fellers
I'm going to have to wait till Thursday to ride ya'lls direction
, Things worked out for me to go pick up a Second bike Tuesday
but its a 16 hour ride to go-get-it
. So I'll need a day of rest inbetween trips.
So as of now I can leave Thursday and be there for a Friday ride , then back home on Saturday. (Think I'll bring the Monkey-Butt Powder this time ) ...

What's a matter MM......The black leather chaps start "chapping" about the 16th hour?
Might be a bit of a coordinating nightmare....but maybe we could meet you somewhere and ride you in.

Tell us all about the brand new scooter ...... because we know when you get it home you are gonna be fiddlin' with it instead of riding all the way across Tennesse
twice
to get in a single day's ride.
We knows you, we do .....

Well
Ya'll remember the 04, 1200 Sportster . This one is the fuel injected 883 version (07).
Sundowner seat
Case guard
Foward controls
Mag wheels
Factory soft bags
Polished case version (not black or brushed)
Tank Bib
4.5 gal tank
and
only 7K miles
The only things left to add is a luggage rack , rear trunk , and a windshield.

And the bib almost covers the Harley name !

UPDATE:
I have had 2 incredeibly busy days at work......a Council meeting last night and I will have a very intense Planning and Zoning meeting tonight. I was able to get the bike loaded up and get all my things gathered together last night after I got home from the meeting. This afternoon I will go home and attach the trailer and load everything up, and start my drive right after the meeting. I should be able to get 2-3 hours of driving in tonight. I can sleep in my trailer with my bike and start out again tomorrow morning. I should have no trouble making the 1:00 arrival time. I will be so keyed up after this Planning Meeting I won't be able to go to sleep for a while anyhow.....I might as well be driving.
I imagine I will be "offline" sometime around 3 this afternoon. See you all soon. This is what my rig looks like.....if you see me running around lost you can flag me down!

Wow, looks like you have a plan. Just tell them you are the early arriver for Cabin #4 and I will call them to tell them to give you the keys so you can unpack & set up when you arrive. I want the left hand bunk (my roll out of bed routine only works on the LH bunk) otherwise I am working towards by bad side and it is sort funny to watch me try to get up .....
Crip old man means exactly that you know -- about half my joints have gotten sorry now.
Good, that means you will be there early so we can help each other get the bikes off (de-trailering is where more of the stupid bike boo-boos happen, did you know that little factoid?)
See you tomorrow -- we is gonna have us some fun.

What trailer is that dave?
The trailer is made by Homesteader and is a Challenger model. It is 48" tall, 40" wide and 8' long inside. I bought it used from a fellow that used it to haul show rabbits all over the country. He installed the windows so he could keep the rabbits cool. It was funny as everytime he got a trophy showing his rabbits he would put a little bunny sticker on the side of the trailer.....It looked like I had hundreds of "bunny kills" when I bought the trailer. I took the spring axle off and put a rubber torsion axle on it so I could lower the trailer to work well with the Vibe. It is a great trailer and tows well behind the Vibe....my mileage drops from 32mpg to about 25 when I tow.
