Maybe I could fab up a stunt cage for you. Just sayin.

You dudes have some issues if you like following me and my old ass bike. LOL!! I'm sure Tpoppa---Bear can show you a much better time. I didn't volunteer to lead either. Maybe we could do a everyone takes a turn leading kinda thing and get a feel for each others pace. Just a thought. I wish I could remember the route Doc put together for our last ride. Was pretty nice. We had a late start but could add more miles if we started earlier.

Man-O-Man Ryan. You sure are tough on those left handers.

The link was just an example. Scroll down in the link and it explains bolt patterns. This explains a 5 bolt pattern as well.

http://rideapart.jalopnik.com/why-you-want-the-2014-yamaha-fz-09-512849209 I have a feeling this will be a very popular bike.

I could be persuaded. Jon---I hope you can make it. Your bike will give me an honest reason to drool. Then I wouldn't have to blame it on old age.

The st means special trailer tire. The R means radial and the numbers are the size. I doubt TSC will have that size. Maybe this will help. http://www.etrailer.com/Tires-and-Wheels/Kenda/AM32153.html

The turbos on a Diesel engine can glow like the burner on your granny's electric stove. I doubt that a water cooled motorcycle engine is gonna make it fail.

Here you go. It's not that hard. This is for a 4 stroke. 2 strokes are a little different.

Back home as well. Thanks for a great day guys. Gonna miss you too Will. I'm sure them scooters of yours are gonna enjoy their new home. Best wishes again. Nice meeting you John. Your bike is really a work of art. Hope we can hook up again. Doc. Get some sleep. Was a good day.

"Jerry we can meet by 10:00 and head out by 10:15 from canfeild bp? " Sure Boss. See you then.

Hope all are having a great time. Speed safely. I see no recent check in from MJ. But when she gets there someone needs to have a cold beer ready for her. Poor kid. I feel bad for her.

Sounds good guys. I'm in. Doc. What time do you want to meet?

Va.Beach-Williamsburg area has a lot also but is a bit more crowded IMO. Hilton Head will prolly not make he kids happy depending on their age. Laid back kinda place. Good for old farts like me. If I was that far down I would hit up the Myrtle area somewhere. As far as cheap all I can say is to search and book lodging early. That is gonna be the big hit.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Con-Tact-Clear-Covering-Multipurpose-Shelf-Liner-18-x-75-Roll-Clear-Gloss/20895773This stuff is the the bomb. Will not not move around once it is put on. Thick enough that it won't wear thru. Can't hardly see it unless your close. Make patterns and cut to fit. Can be reused. I reuse the one for my tank bag 5 or 6 times. Can even use when trailering to prevent straps from chaffing. Any residue left will come right off with wax. Just did a 1600 mile Gap trip with a trip thru W Virginia in the rain on Rt 16. Not a scratch. Just make sure the surface is clean before you put it on and that the edges are all stuck down. Dirt and grit will collect anyplace that the sticky side is showing.

Holy Crap what a shitty Birthday present. Hope all goes well for you. They should offer you a few extra Quid for pain and suffering and loss of transportation as well. Happy Birthday Sam.

Sounds like things may work out for you Gunner. Taking a little time off to regroup sounds like a good plan as well.

Gunner sorry to here of your misfortune. If you wish pm me your phone number. My wife is a licensed agent and can give you some info that may or may not help your case. No guarantees but she says there are options.

Thanks guys for a great week. The rain absolutely sucked and the only thing that could have been worse is if the temperature was lower. Plan as you may but the weather is always a crap shoot. I knew the morning we left that it was gonna be a wild hogs kind of trip. I started with a flat back tire. Loose valve core from a mounting of new rubber. No big deal. Just tighten it up and fill it back up. Texted Doc at our meet spot " where are you? Lost my flippin keys was his reply. After that delay Jester texted that he was concerned about his back brakes dragging from a recent pad replacement. It seems as though Jester's friend Tim and a new friend of mine was the only one with no issues. He was always the first one ready to pull out too. Good people. Even in the rain WV-16 was a good ride. I have always liked riding the back roads when traveling and seeing small town America. Riding 16 made me appreciate what I have. We saw some truly depressed areas in such a beautiful part of the country. I vow to someday ride it again it was entertaining. Endless turns. Glad you could join us Ryan. I am so thankful that the low side was only as bad as it was. You were the last person that I expected to see when I came around that corner. I was glad you were on your feet and okay but I was like where the Hell is his bike. I was cussing that downed tree and at the same time glad it was there. If not for that tree who news how far down the mountain it would have slid. You guys got your first taste of the Dragon and what the area has to offer for riding . I can tell by the above posts that you have been bitten and will return. I hope to myself. Not too many trips like this left in my old bag of bones if any. My only regret is that Doc did not get the chance to photograph the sites like I know he wanted but alas so much to see and do but too little time. Thanks for the memories guys it was a good week for me. I'll never forget it ------------------- SHIT BALL !!!!!!

Thanks Doc for all you put into this. If not for the first we would never have met and I would not have had some really good rides with this group. How you fit 36 hours of work into a 24 hour day is totally beyond my comprehension.

Wish you the best on the next chapter in your life's journey Will. Was good to meet you and enjoyed the couple of rides that we attended together. Speed safely. Enjoy the many miles and smiles that the region has to offer.
