Always good for your van as the van usually gets new parts, rubber, or some such thing! But even better for us to spend some time with the apple of Diamond's eye!

I'm thinking about riding up with some pvc through downtown Atlanta (Buckhead). I hear tell of a storage yard for old pvc will soon be open again.

Friday will likely be our long-ish ride day, the other days are likely to be more localized.

bad news,
i got 100 miles down 81 and the sprint is vibrating badly.
seems motor related as it is more related to the rpm than the mph. i made it home just a few minutes ago.
i canceled my reservation.
if i decide to come down in the car it will be later in the week.
i will miss you all

Damn it all man. Get one of those magic rocks that Bronson used and bash the heck out of that motor.
In all seriousness I hate to hear you have bikes issues. Hopefully you can get it sorted out quickly.

shoot. Tell ya what, I'll ride to Fat Buddies Tuesday and you can enjoy your Tuesday lunch vicariously. So what was it you where going to order? Actually major bummer about the Sprint. Good thing is you aren't jonesing on the rode for a hot supper and a warm bed. Reminds me of that time the dinqua headed out of 5 and 20 land to Robert's town. He had to turn round due to sleet and freezing rain. Hope you get it sorted. Oh yeah man of the great pumpkin.

Moe, I forgot about the motor inn I owned. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
I do have another rental by my house here in Dawsonville at the resort. Just knocked off working on it. Ten days to final completion.

Playing it by ear this year.. back to working 10 hour days and crazy busy on the weekends.. to be honest I haven't given it a lot of thought. Much more thinking on spending time with old friends and depending on prostate and other health related issues will gauge how much i can ride. I'm thinking Fort Mountain or Cherohala on Friday... leaving around 9 or so.... probably eat breakfast in town at El Chicken and head out. Thursday morning i have some things i have to do (side effects of working 50 hour weeks) so we will likely have a local ride involving 19 and 60 with some Wolf Pen stuff going on that afternoon culminating at the El Hat that evening for dinner. Saturday will go the other way probably riding west maybe Lake Burton and Hiawassee. All rides leave from Home Base. 9-10 on Friday and Saturday. After lunch on Thursday, same place.
That's about all I got.. I'll nail it down more as the week progresses and hopefully have a solid plan by Wednesday night.

Heading out early in the morning. Taking a detour around Memphis down into Ms. and do part of the Natchez Trace Parkway up to TN. Always wanted to do the Trace.
