Just spoke to Todd who spoke to Harb's mom and she said that he has a couple broken vertebra. It was good he finally chose to have us call the squad. He is at Marietta Memorial. I will find out more tomorrow. Today was not a good day for the group. I hate it when someone goes down on my watch and it is even worse when they have to take a trip to the hospital. Harb went down on 260 in a relatively slow corner but it had some gravel at the start of it and then it was decreasing radius. None of this caused the crash from what I can tell, it was more like he came into the corner and saw radio flyer already crashed but he was standing in the ditch and he must have fixated on him instead of pushing through the turn so he rode right into the ditch and ran into Radio Flyers bike. This is all speculation based on what Radio Flyer told me since TaRR and I were already through there. My prayers go out to Harb for quick healing and I hope to get down there and visit him tomorrow.

That is the place. See you in the morning.

Maybe he has removed the lowering link and all is normal now.

May get a little hot under there.

That should be good entertainment. We will be able to see him by the smoke coming off the rear tire.

With this long of a ride we need to depart promptly at 9 so please make sure you are there before 9 and gassed up.

Just want to remind everyone that the place we are eating lunch does not take cards so be sure to bring cash. You can easily eat good for $10.

Are you going to be able to make it tomorrow?

I think I might suffer tomorrow and ride the Ape. Put on a new take off last night so no worries about the rear tire now. Not sure if this old body can take 400 miles on the Ape. I might be screaming for mercy after lunch. Tomorrow is going to be a great day of riding. I am looking forward to seeing all of you again and meeting some new faces. Maybe one day I will remember everyones name.

Sorry, one day I will remember to put that in the first message. Calvary Chapel of Columbus parking lot 6075 E Livingston Ave Columbus, OH 43232

He cannot use that excuse so he had to come up with a different one to get him out of the ride. Slacker:)

We will miss you but I certainly understand. Family should always come before riding with us.

It will be a long ride on the ape and I am not sure the rear tire has enough on it to make that route.

Looking forward to it. Trying to decide which bike to ride this weekend.

The October ride will be up in the air based on the weather. If the weather is nice we will be riding. I will put a route together in the next few weeks. It will probably be a hocking area ride and no where near as long as this months.

Caldwell will be the first stop for gas, 2nd stop will be Woodsfield and the last stop will be Cambridge. This should be fine for anyone that only has a range of around 120 miles.

We will need to have stops sooner than 150 miles, I will look at it and see what I can come up with.

I have sent an email to James to see if he is planning on coming over. Just so you know, you are welcome to come over the night before and sleep at my place. There is plenty of room in the basement for you.

Agreed

There have been as many as 20 and as few as 4. If I were to guess we will have about 10-12. Hope you can make it. John

10 should get you a good meal and a drink.

Thanks Ben for the good words. I am so sorry to hear the insurance will not pay for the good stuff. I hope the old stuff will do ok for you. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you.

I sent a message to Casper to see if he would move it but I never got a reply or a move. I guess he is busy. I should have asked him about it yesterday but forgot.

The only time out need to have a bike inspected is when you do not have a title at all. Then the only thing the Blvd is inspecting is the vin
