Umm? "Crash", that's reminds of a time in September 1974. I will attend as the responsible adult from Montana . JH

FYI BikerThug had a mishap injuring himself and lousing up his ride. I haven't heard from him in a month or so, but the last I did he was hurting pretty good and talking about surgery.

Hey Soren - The Hells Canyon ride could be fun - but I gotta tell ya, it may be very, very warm down there that time of year (been there, done that, it's true!) (there's a reason why they call it Hells Canyon...). I know, we could bring breakfast and cook it!

Hey Soren,
If you get the chance you should the the ride from Baker City Through Richland and HalfWay.com Yes the name of the town is "HalfWay.com The first DotCom City!" The ride is GREAT and there is lots of hills and trees and turns and ups and downs. It is very cool. I do not know if I will make it but I am begging the wife. If Robert_B goes I might ride up with him. Maybe we can convince BigBill to go. I talked to him. He would like to but it is allmost a full 2 days ride for us. 778 miles one way for me and about 820 one way for BigBill

Hey ValDean,
I was thinking of trying to go through Halfway either on the way out there or coming back home.
I remember whan they changed the name of that town. I thought it was pretty cool.
Hopefully Summer will let you head North.

I talked to summer last night. She said that my boy would not be old enough to leave for a couple of days. I know it is the wussssyyyy way of doing things, but I might bring her and my kid. But I will need to put my bike in the back of my truck. I am not sure but I am trying to think of every option I can. She might just let me come by my self. But you know them pregnant wifes dont think straight most of the time.

Time Left Until
Years :
Days : 44
Hours : 17
Minutes : 55
Seconds : 51
I have long thought that "summer vacation" is somewhat wasted on the youth. School should be 12 months while adult types get 3 months off to recuperate.
Oh, there should be 4 of us heading south in roughly 44 days.

Soren,
I hope the weather holds. I'm getting new sprockets and chain in the near future. Original chain is about out of adjustment, maybe 2 more tweeks left in it.

I'm still waiting on the stuff to do my valve adjustment. I'll likely be doing that instead of going to Red Lodge in a week and a half. Wheels come off this weekend (finally) for new tires. Now my only issue is saddlebags. I'm still waiting for my buddy to paint the one that got trashed last year. Looks like I'll be rattlecanning it.

I drew a weird association from this. Rattlecanning...rattlecan...rattlecane??...rattlesnake...snakeskin.
Snakeskin would be a very cool paint scheme. Oh well, funny where the mind takes you sometimes. 
I really wanted to make the II this year, but events and dates just aren't laying out very well. If only it weren't so darn far.

Doods and doodettes, Man, we ALL gotta meet up somewhere, sometime, in the middle of the USA for a nice official USA BA rally. Or maybe even somewhere where our overseas members could also meet up. We gotta figure something out. They are so much friggin fun... We all want to meet all of you too! Maybe a 5 year special rally??
Ride safe my brethren, have too much fun, drink plenty and get home safe. We all wish we could come too.
Yee doogie!

Hey Soren,
At this point Friar, Roadie and I are meeting somewhere in Idaho at a Denny's about 5:30 Thursday and maybe start trekking south on Hwy 95. Of course, it's all up for discussion. That'll leave a shorter day Friday. Have you heard anything recent from Vic in California?
I still think Dinqua and/Bonnyusa or some other "ne'er-do-well" off this board needs to show up and provide us some leadership or at least a valid Credit Card #.

Leadership? This is the wild west, we don't need leadership. credit cards, on the other hand are gladly welcomed I am taking off between 5:30 and 6:00 Friday morning. Not sure how long it will take me to get there. It is a bit more than 450 miles. Haven't heard a peep from Vic. Not sure who else may or may not show up. Soren
