MM, Toymaker has not yet posted to reserve his spot, really he just said hello and we plugged him in as a place holder in case he does post to reserve a spot.   As a teacher, he can't ditch work at the school year's end all that easily --- so he may be a Sunday day rider if he comes at all.

We got 5 physical beds and enough room for a cot or two so I think we should list no more than 6 people without starting planning on a tent.

Next, a little electric heater and an extension cord would be a good thing to have in case it breaks off really really cold on us.    We supposedly have power available out by the cooking area which we could route back into the cabin quite easily.    4-5 adults and a small electric heater would serve to take the chill off really really well.


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


Where we go, what we do and how fast we do it needs some extra thought & consideration -- you may want to ride your big bike to always remind you about the various 'chunkies strung out behind you.  

You got you a mixed bowl of chunky chocolates back there, a Goldwing, a Savage Barcalounger, a Kawachunkie and two Hurleys all of which handle differently and do considerably worse than a uniform bunch of Savagers would do.

I likes that paint job .... a lot.   Looks like a new straight pipe with turn outs on your Savage now, huh??   

You put silicone tire shine on your tires -- save any of it for your tent?    Do you got another beauty contest planned for the trip to your farm ????    

You know Dave will have his new 250 mostly finished by then, right???   He loves that stuff just like you do.  

I wonder if they have a Barcalounger tanker bike category?

Yep, that's the real true Golden Rule ---- KEEP UP !!!!

Silicone tire shine that comes in clear quart spray bottles from Wally or from Autozone -- read the label to be sure it is pure thick silicone oil and open it and smell it at the store to make sure it doesn't stink bad like some brands do.   You don't want "hydrocarbon oil based stuff", you want heavy silicone oil.

 
Here is the current weather "prognostication"    ----    I think of them as belly button scratching this far out.

Looks good though.     http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/robbinsville-nc/28771/month/334849?monyr=4/0...


MM says he has his dizzy under control, so we are still good for the trip.

I do believe MM has the largest wildlife kill count of any of us now.

Chimpmunks, squirrels, rabbits, Hurleys,  ......   regular Terminator, ain't he?

You still like us......even after we hid the Rabbit Spleen in your saddlebag?

Stewmills and I are not well versed in what/where the inside parts of a rabbit are.

It looked like a pinkish/yellow  bean....with a short cord attached.

Nope , I truely believe it was a pair of Rabbit-Tesiticles ...      ....  Sad , Sad , Sad ...

But

Sorry Mr. little bunny rabbit ...    ... I'll say , "Ya ain't really done nothing till ya get some Rabbit Testicles burned on-to your exhaust pipe ! "

It does look good all cleaned up and every thing don't  it ? (the bike not the rabbit ...  

................

So , I came back from a ride to the next town over today and Jed is in the driveway (had just got there)  standing next to a shinny "new-ish" GSX-R750 .  

He says ... "Wait till you ride this baby" ...

Ya know what I did/said don't ya ....

"So , Jed - ya want follow me on the Sportster ?"

That bike should not be street legal !       420# wet , and 120+ HP --- geared to red-line 6th gear about 165 or so ... w/15,000rpm  red-line.     The gears are so close together its like you never even shifted .    I was in high gear at 40mph/3,000rpm and still looking to upshift ...  

I'm glad he likes it , and it is pretty , and fast , it would be "Boring" to ride the speed limit on.    I suspect putting around at 45 and 50 mph would make ya cry on that thing .   :'(   If , Jed  shows up at our cabin we can put him up for the night and hear crazy story of him passing old people on big cruisers  .  

I rode with Kent on his chopper up to robbinsville last year and he kept up good .    He did buy the Sportster so he would be more likely to slow-down a little.   I told Kent this is a "Relaxing-Ride" .   He has never been to Santeetlah lake either so he'll be sight-seeing with us .
