Got two planning on being there from Michigan. Not sure if we'll be there late Friday or early Saturday. Depends what time I can sneak out of work.

My 100 year 3 day old Aunt just died. Funeral is Wednesday so I will NOT make it to Romney again this year.

Was so looking forward to sitting under snake's awning drinking a glass of Limey's scotch and listening to the stories.

Bob If you can sell the shirts I ordered do it so you do not have the mailing hassle. If not PM me how much and where to send it and I will get you the money to mail them.

Wow, she made a century! Still - never easy for the family left behind.


No problem on the shirts.
For anybody needing a 3XL shirt, we now have an extra short sleeve and a long sleeve and you can get them at the registration tables. InHouse Bob is printing a few extras in other sizes too that will also be for sale.

The last I heard from Alain, our instructor, he had some open slots for both the Friday and Saturday classes.

Thanks.

If you still have them in a week I will take them. But I have a problem with shirts, stickers, pins, patches for places or rides I did not do/ride/attend. Like to have them. But not wear them much. Seems like false self promotion.

sorry for your loss Bob. Going to miss you I'll have to hook up with you in the summer on my way to Colorado.

As your surrogate, I'll sit in your chair and take 1 (ONE!) shot of Limeys poison on your behalf.
And we'll all toast\say cheers to "BigBob"

The shirt will then be officially validated.
You will have been here in spirit. :)

Weather looks pretty sketchy, what's the rain plan for Friday? It looks like it could be a total washout.

Anything cool to check out in the area?

Last year was sketchy. Anything better than last year would be great weather. I'm seeing warm with periods of rain on Friday, Possible showers and cool on Saturday, Sunny, warm, partly cloudy on Sunday.

A bit of West Virginia warmup on the cheater bike.

Oh my, Dirt Bike Paradise! Mountains, woods, single track, mining roads, and the most awesome MUD ever. Lol

I love this place!

Yea, rain just moved in. Perfect timing since I was whooped.
Weather report is good though for the next few days. Not sure about coming weekend.
I'm coming regardless. I done committed to a BigBob shot of whatever. :)

Last year it was raining when I left home , snowed when I put up my tent in New York State and rained every day in Romney. And rained all the way home. This year doesn't look any better.

As much as I was looking forward to this event and meeting some of the members that were helpful to me while shopping for a Super Tenere, I regretfully have to pull out. Family matters intervene and require me to be home this weekend.

If any of you folks come through western NC, give me a PM shout and perhaps we can meet up!

Limey give him a break, he is a Texan. If it is not made from agave they have problems.

That's a fine defense you mounted on my behalf BigBob.

But it's worse than that. I think nothing compares to sweet tea!
Still, I said I'd drink your shot and I'm not retreating. :)

Some precip yes, but as was said, this sure doesn't look a rain-out. The forecast has been changing constantly in terms of percent probability and for what hours. It looks like the computers can't pin down this pattern yet. But as much as that, the amounts they are showing look like drizzle, not the downpours we had in Romney today.

My camper is already in the corner of the parking lot.

I really only meant that FRIDAY looked like it might be a washout. But I do see the forecast is varying, if not "improving".

Either way, I'm heading down Thursday and leaving Sunday!
