Actually at this point money isn't a problem: my bank just gave me a major bump in my credit limit on my CC (it pays to pay on time, and pay over the minimum)   but at this point I don't have sufficient time to get the time off, as there aren't a lot of folks trained to my posistion, si I'll have to aim for DR #2, if that's still gonna happen

Stewmills, I thank you kindly for the generous offer, but after all the years I couldn't, I set great store by paying my own way, no offeanse
Oldfeller, you know it,  I will miss the chance of riding with you, unless we both make the later run  
If not, maybe next year
BTW, you shoulda been on the sisters with us, lots of Harley sammiches to eat up  
Including a Road Glide that ate my lunch
I suck  

My bike didn't skid nearly 20 feet, and it was over before i had a chance to be scared  
Honestly the big deal on the sisters was 'tight, uphill, rock wall on one side, guardrail on the other' I was scared, then lol
if I hadn't panicked, I likely would have made it (i did through all the same typel turns before that one)
then the next day we didscovered my rear shock were set too soft, and uneven  

I am really envious of all of you going on the Dragon run. I would love to be there but just have too much going on. I hope you all have a great time and post many pictures. Hopefully I can join you all next year.

Is this the 10th or 11th year ?
We started in '95 I believe, and if so then this would be the 11th rodeo for us.

I am not at all reluctant, just can't do it due to work  
Old felller, I ride sweep because I'd wind up in the rear anyway

WE ARE STILL TOO FAR OUT FOR ANY FORM OF ACCURACY .... it is all just noise right now.

We've been through this before so you will get a 10 day out cancellation warning in case of fairly well predicted bad weather (in time to get your money back on a cabin reservation).   If you are tenting, you will get cold at night and a bit dew wet each morning -- count on it.   So bring a bag and a blanket or two.

..... and count on it, you will meet up with a rain cloud at least once during the trip.   Stop and eat lunch or dinner, the road will be drying by the time you are done.  

Or ride on and get soaked, we have done it both ways.   (you dry out in an hour or so anyway)


==========================================


OK, Dave has broached the idea of starting the festivities on Wednesday the 10th.  Let's discuss it some and see what everybody thinks.   MM will be staging his troops at his house and may have plans for them, but that doesn't mean Dave and I can't run around some before the rest of the guys get there.
