There is always a vacancy at the "Bates Motel." Just don't look in the freezer.

Well, there's going to be one fewer SO... My wife has decided she will not go. :? I'll still be there, but I'll probably back road it and take a couple days to get there, so arriving Thursday instead of Wednesday. Unless of course, she changes her mind.. :doubt:

FYI.

Just a heads up for anyone coming into West Virginia through the Southwest Border from Kentucky. Specifically Mingo and Logan County West Virginia.

I doubt if it will affect BBVI.

Getting close people! New front tire goes on tomorrow and time to start packing the bike and getting ready! Riding in WV is always entertaining. Hopefully the flooding had not taken out any good roads!

I certainly do not want to turn this event into a flea market, but...

I have some used but good riding gear for sale here, with a special price for bash attendees.

Mods, if you feel this is in bad taste, feel free to delete at will, no need to check with me.

The cheap bastid in me says, "Wahooo!!!! Half priced room!!! ..." the rest of me says... unless you're a reasonably good looking female with a firm set of C's or larger, you're not getting in... Sorry. Actually B's are fine too... A's are only OK if the rest of you makes up for it... Lack in one area has to be made up in another... but I digress... :mrgreen:

New PR2's are mounted up on the 919 and TJ and I are heading out tomorrow morning after the rush hour. See you all in Fayetteville over the weekend at BBVI.

Ride Safe!

Well Steve and I are bailing. The rain has turned him off and we will ride NW to WI.
Man this really sucks! One more room available. :evil:

Wilbers didn't make it in; won't be as comfy this weekend as I hoped.
But the new front is going on tomorrow.
Should be leaving Thu AM & arriving Fri afternoon/evening.

Forecast looks like it will be interesting.

Oil & filter changed, new Z6's front and rear. Bike is already packed, work 1/2 day tomorrow then meet up with John S and hope to be heading Southwest by 2PM. Arriving Thursday afternoon/evening. See you all this weekend.

Three day forecasts never get it right.

Scattered T-Storms are no challenge (30%).

Isolated T-Storms even less so (10%).

I know the mid-west guys have it worse and I cannot judge the decision to adjust directions. All others, "Piece of cake!"

By the way, Thursday and Friday look for fellow Bashers along US 60. You never know who you are going to find on a snow covered mountain.

Ves,
Check your PMs.

I may try out my old orange rain suit, but I can't wait to get there.

:shock: #-o :doubt:

I'll take lots of photos... you wimps... here I am telling my wife you guys are hard core bikers, and now you've lost all credibility... Get your reservations back.. I'm sure they haven't given them away yet... OK, so it's 80% chance tomorrow... but it's mostly 30-40% the rest of the week... I can spit more than that...
