Still have my Tiger-I just went from a '07 to an '08 to get ABS. Just got my stiches out today, so maybe I can put on a helmet in 2 weeks the Doc said. I just need to wear a bandage. If you have a cut that's not healing or a red spot that's been around for a while, go see a Dermatologist. Let's get a ride to Benny's soon. Maybe the second week in May?(May 1-3 my son is taking the MSF course so I wnat to be around). See you all soon!

So far I think May is open other than the bash  I'll know as we get closer if I have any band concerts or anything.

Could always do an overnight on Long Island and have a real party. Don't worry Benny, we won't make you put us up.

That would be asking too much of your wife.
Too bad for her -- we're staying there for a week or three, killin' all their lawn, and drinkin' all their whiskey

That's now looking like a distinct possibility, once my event support duties are done. Maybe by 10 pm Saturday? ...or sooner if it rains. 
Wonder if they'd let me into the camp ground at 10

I have a feeling there will be a revolving door at the camp site... Plus I can send you my cell, I'll let you in.

Speaking of revolving doors... I have to go back to the will not attend list, due to a family schedule conflict on Sunday. Sorry for the drama. Signed, Fambly man I love 'em all dearly, however there are moments when wearing a microwave oven as underwear at age 20 might have been a prudent juncture.  juuuuust kidding

I'll be there, I'm taking the long way this to get there though, I'm headed down to Florida a week before and I'm debating on heading from there up through Detroit, through Canada and coming in that way. It kinda depends on how much time I give my self weather I do that or not, I might just head up straight from Florida, I guess time will tell.
Let my dying thought be that every mile was fun and let my tombstone read,"They never made one fast enough for me."

Dunno-UC chime in dude! I'm testing out the new pillion bag today-got some towels stuffed in it as ballast. I was up at Twisted Throttle yesterday in RI. They mounted up some crash bars while I was there-no charge for labor. Nice!

What a great event this year! The Adirondack ride I went on was as good as it gets. Try and plan on going to this one next year if you can.

Good to hear man. I'll probably do a different ride next year anyway, but I know you don't like group rides, so if you want, you can ride shotgun up front with me. It's much less stressfull!
