Burgers at my place.  (Daves B&B  - Burgers and beers) After the ride of course.  I can put up 2 people in my guest room.

Man, talk about timing. I bought a new battery today and replaced the YICS lines. What a difference! I just need to replace my exhaust gaskets. You know...about a 30 minute to 1 hour job.  ::)

What dates do you have in mind?

I was just on YOUTUBE watching Dragon videos and Dragon crash videos. How to's and what not to do's.

Yeah, that's about right.

But then it's an additional 2 hours to get the exhaust back on the bike  ::)

If its just because she doesn't want to stay at the campground, you guys are welcome to stay here.  If she doesn't like to ride on the Dragon, she can stay at the house and keep Vicki company. ;D

I promise this time you won't have to wait on me.

I just got back from a 150 mile all day ride. It was mostly in the upper to lower 50s all day. Yesterday was much warmer but the wind was kicking too hard to enjoy riding. I only like leaning in curves, not straight-aways. The bike is running great. I just hope I can keep it that way for the 25th ride.

I would be happy with 2 hours but I've got this feeling that it's going to be more like all day.

no shit! that was a heck of a windy day!! in RI i used to ride to work past a place called Schartners Farm (remember Dave?) the wind would blow accross this huge field, & accross the two lane road. I actually would ride for a few tenths of a mile leaning against the wind in a straight line.  i learned to accelerate if the wind dropped off so the bike would right itself...

It's so dry and windy here today we are under a fire watch advisory. That's rare for us. To make things worse there's a stump dump fire out of control just 3 miles from me. There's been so much smoke with it, it's set off fire alarms in downtown Raleigh 18 miles away. North Carolina State University had several alarms in the dorms. The owner of the dump is facing some severe fines not mention the law suits coming from a local golf community over health and house cleaning issues.

What dates do you guys want to do this? April or maybe early May, a sort of a warm up to Colorado?
