I will be there at the meet spot 10:00, see you guys

When u really wanna get going something always pops up. After getting delayed from work, delayed start from home. Quickly packed clothes tools air compressor etc in 5 mins. Getting camera gear together...... 40 mins Twisty at dusk blaaaaah wish I had Justin's floodys lighting my life up in the front

on a side note, its unofficial now, call exchanged. will twice as much just to ride with yall one day. Some body be there please Will make it worth while, need to log in at least a 1000 mile by tomorrow night. I will be there rain snow hail no matter andy sad to see the once a seasonal red bird with ventura tail bag not gonna show up for this. Probably his second gear is fixed.

i guess i will wait for jerry @Al Z. Heimer to post the photo/video

hahah i never prescribed narcotic/ sedatives ever and will never use it myself too. i have a very weak will power and poor mental strength and resolve. Exhibit A is my weak pathetic 3 time failed attempt at quitting motorcycling. this is exactly why i never want to try smoking or drinking coz i know i am gonna be a raging alcoholic or certified rapper Will drop some badass bars and finish with "thank you come again"

not 100% certain yet, about 90% waiting for call from other guy. i am getting a crappy deal of weekend exchange and want to make sure at least its a ride able day to go explore SEO even if main ride cancelled. Pauly, you know me and I wont sleep the night before for such a big ride to make it to the meet spot at 10:30 i will have to leave home by 6:00 in order to keep it all back roads. To leave around 6:00 i will have to wake up at least by 5:00. After these many years i realized no matter what tricks i try i am never getting any good sleep the day before big ride esp if i am thinking i have to wake up this early. Just keep staring at phone every one hour. Hence the solution for me is to ride down after work today all back roads and try to get to a place close by and stay overnight before sunset. Will likley leave around 5-5:30 and ride till 9 pm and possible stay at caldwell which seems to have reasonable priced rooms. Probably will get rained on today evening before i reach there from the weather prediction. i really feel bad for @DerekClouser seems like he just cant catch a break year after year, all pressure on him to make a call at the last moment and the weather never helps out. As of now the chance of rain is less than 30% for tomorrow morning session and temps in upper 70 which is warm enough. even with no rain suit on If i am getting off i am riding no matter what. Hope at least few of you guys be there to meet up.

You know why all of a sudden there is rain in forecast, I was exchanging calls to get this one weekend off for two weekend working. Gaaaawwwdddd dayuuuummmmm . Still it's gonna be less than 50% chance of spotty rain, and pretty warm. It's not gonna be ice cold and stormy

A perfectly normal healthy back is at risk of having a sprain and slip and stuff when shoving around 700lb monster let alone days of riding on top of one. Ozark and the deals gap will be there in 2018 and most if not all of the guys will be willing to do it again. SIT THIS ONE OUT BIG GUY. Why take chances.

+1 Pauly worth it to bring it over. If that's a tall order, I guess Hoblick is into euro bikes as well iirc

Nooooo after all these years you show up and I can't make it. Why is this happening

Tomorrow Weather seems just perfect, If any one planning to ride plz let me know. I am still "up in air" status as of now. But if I get a chance I want to come and join for part of the ride at least.

After all these years, am gonna miss this year when the weather is perfect and literally many peeps showing up. This years riding has been crap shoot so far

Awesome, I should have taken vacation during this time rather than crappy weekend last week

I knew it, I told you the first day you posted that you gonna take this to gap trip seriously do it. 100% better fun

Was saved by abs today, almost a stoppie when "the dude" tried to hit on a deer

Me, Unacceptable lol

You have no idea the amount of hate coming to you from the forum. If your feeling an extra dose of energy and warmth it's all coming from us. like I said earlier keep posting pics, keep "me" coming

Being part of OR is a good job security, buy shares from him before June.

Miss the view of @Uncle Punk Ventura rack and @Isaac's Papa top case on multi yes @Tonik the vstrom I sold but life is too short and so many bikes to get to know and keep being the prodigal asshat. @CrazySkullCrusher Sam the bike pull like a freight train, literally with its weight it's the effect. The video and its crappy view point doesn't do justification to way it actually feels, the speed we kept on those roads. It accelerates fast for 700lb, and u don't feel the speed since it's like a ship in lake, and if I keep giving it more coal I prolly will have to use brakes at corners, as of now this was good enough to keep the rhythm going. May be once I am more confident of the weight and trusting the bike, perhaps I can keep pushing. Pauly rides smooth and quick so it's fun to follow.

I guess you prolly gonna thin the heard and I have a feeling only vstrom will survive the chopping block. If that's the case I will sell the feejer as well. And get a bike more suited to our vstrom days. Those were pretty much best rides I did on two wheels. As far as fjr, Around 3.5k miles on it and I am getting used to it. About time for OCD to strike Hahaha he did the last minute "let us pass" only once, rest of the time it was reasonable "LUP" apparently the legal team said not to include that in there. The rest of the stuff of course is broken and "appears" to be so.

Editing a longer simple upload, won't have seat belt on it next ride am changing the super wide angle view for sure. I always think about doing it and forget it when the time comes. Can get better view with that. Yes, we need to get to these roads for a short evening ride at aleast if long full day doesn't work.

Short video from the ride today.

And always a good ride finishes with this
