You still getting your booster shot in August?

[EricM]

Aug 6th is when I should get the second shot

Anyone heard from DYL Jim? A couple of friends from Murphy NC ran in to him at the Deal's Gap store today passed along his hello.

[justjoe]

DYL-Jim logs in here occasionally.

[Pittsdriverwes]

My friends mentioned that he was on a KTM 390 when they saw him - probably a fun bike to rail on at Deals Gap.

[802Mike]

Trailer is getting new tires today because my brother noticed some cracks between treads.
Not taking any chances. Also, brake shoes were replaced and bearings greased.....
Will be packing up the Guzzi parts and strapping it in for the journey to it's new owner
in Cincinnati.

[Pete_Tallahassee]

I just added an extra day on the front. Now arriving on June 2nd.

[Pittsdriverwes]

I'll be rolling in sometime early afternoon on the 3rd and planning to stay until Sunday. I'll be on the GS this time.

[BillGsa]

[Pittsdriverwes]

Same here Bill. From Annapolis I'll ramble across Virginia to the north end of the BRP and ride that down to just above the Watstull. That'll be about 280 miles or so for me so I guess it depends on how early I get on the road.

[EricM]

Thats a nice little dirt road that leads you straight to the Watsull Wes, have fun guys.

[Pete_Tallahassee]

Are you attending?

[wildbears]

I am currently sans motorcycle.

If I can my act together and get one I would definitely attend.

I've attended before but many years ago.

Great times and great people.

Heads-up for the Parkway at mMP121 near Roanoke

Parkway Closed Near Roanoke Due to Slope Failure
The Parkway is closed to all uses from Milepost 121.4 (U.S. 220) to Milepost 135.9 (Adney Gap) due to a full road failure caused by heavy rains.

221 looks like it will work for a detour.

Thanks Wes

Are you guys going to have enough fuel?

[cabnfvr]

The pipeline is being manually ran in sections and is expected to be back online later this week. As usual, the only reason there is a supply problem is because people panicked.

[justjoe]

I got my toilet paper!!!

[802Mike]

There is a problem getting trucks to haul it , according to the news this morning.
We've got two weeks to get caught up.

[Rob]

Beth and I will be there Thursday to Sunday.
The last rally (Texas) it took me two days to get there. This time it'll be more like two hours.

[Doctor350]

Is this one of you guys?

[cabnfvr]

You can't fix stupid.

[802Mike]

Tim, yes, you can.... see next post !

[802Mike]

Maybe they have a lawn care business and have to keep the crew working?
Why else would they spend $20 a piece on new gas cans?

[802Mike]

Fixing stupid !!

[802Mike]

Looks like I'll be spending Wednesday night in Hagerstown, MD where
I'll meet the potential new owner of the Guzzi and then down I-81 to
the rally site on Thursday.

[cabnfvr]

It would be nice if AdventureWood would show up.

[EricM]

I recognize that GSA, she is called U-Turn GSHey. Haven`t seen Woody and his lovely wife in a long time.

[Susan]

It would be great to see Woody and Gloria again.

[Loggiebone]

[Pete_Tallahassee]

I spoke to both of them several weeks ago. They said they might drive up in the car.
