What a shock to hear about Papa Chuy! He'd be tickled to hear of the new acronym.
If not on a work trip I'll make this event.

My apologies. Did not mean to spring the news of Don on anyone. He passed a few days before Christmas.

Gentleman Don was tickled with last year's much less than flattering acronym and proudly wore the t-shirt we sent him at EOM in Lewisburg this past fall. I'm sure he is smiling ear to ear over this years. I wish I had spent more time with him at EOM.

Hope to see you at Holly River.

Sorry to hear the news.


Jim, you know me, if I can make it I'll be there. I'm optimistic.

Some good riding to be had Jon. Cabins at Holly River are very popular and given your aversion to tents you may want to check into it sooner rather than later. I'm sure you would not have any trouble finding bunk mates to split the fees. Hope to see you in June.

I did not know Don but sounds like he had lots of friends. That is what a good life is about. Count me in for this ride.

Trust me I've been watching. I've been home too for the last 3 weeks. Still recovering from my third detached retina surgery which has really thrown a wrench into my riding. 3 surgeries in 5 months. If this retina would stay attached then I could have the cataract removed and possible see well enough to ride. Can't make any promises at this stage when that will be. Even with one eye I counted 36 turkeys in the field the other day ;) hint hint

Dang Mark. I sure hope your vision problems resolve for the best. Hang in there.

Keep those birds comfy; I may surprise you yet.

Nice website. Complete with photo from a chilly, rainy day. Excluding the times I've seen you at the dealership, the 2016 location looks to be the farthest north I've seen you. So close to Rt 15, a personal favorite of mine.

Wayne gets all the credit for the website. It will continue to be updated as things like routes and maybe a catered meal, etc.

You must have skipped the several in a row annual Jennings Randolph Lake camp-n-ride just up the mountain from Keyser on the MD border. I was hosting on the weekend our paths first crossed at the demo ride and there was a few before and after that.

We've skipped a few years lately and may be overdue for a northern meet...early fall perhaps...hmmmnnn...swap with Larry for a new DR and do a camp-n-ride...hmmmnnn. Damnit Jon now see what you've done! ;)

Get your tent ready! ??? J.R. Lake is the BEST campground in the state.

::025:: another DR?

I'm pretty sure you were there the last time I brought out my tent. It is an exceedingly rare event.

Jim sorry for the late reply. I have not been active on this forum for awhile.
I may consider joining you for this but it will depend on if I keep m Tenere. I am putting it and my 2013 FJR up for sale .
I am going to keep the one that does not sell first or even sell both and get a newer tenere. Not sure yet.
Regards
Scooper

Does anyone know if Mike (and Wanda) are coming? He was the super nice guy on the Super Tenere from Kentucky. He is active on the FJR forum.

No noise from Mike on either FJR forum as far as I know.
