Dwight, it looks like we will make it, Laura and I cleared time off from work just today. Two t-shirts, one large and one medium, please. We will be booking a room in town because I'm not too confident about the no farting sections. I'll contact you when the date gets closer. BTW the planned ride sounds perfect, I've always wanted to take that ride but never got around to it. See ya in May, Bob.

One Prescott neighbor tallied, Jeff!  I'll probably arrive Tuesday of that week. BTW, I'll be in Prescott from Feb 19th through the 25th. Are you and Irene going to be there at that time? If so, let me know. FastEddy is flyin' in from Wisconsin that week and it'd be great to all get together!

Yes Paul, I DO see! AND, I thank BOTH you AND Martyn for your fine assistance in this regard!
(AND, I'd ALSO like to say here that both Martyn and you have once again unequivocally proven, at least to MY satisfaction anyway, that those TWO OTHER rather unrefined fellow countrymen of yours, Simon Cowell AND Jeremy Clarkson, MUST BE nothing but anomalies to that otherwise well known, well respected and time-honored tradition of british gentility, sir!)

Hey Dwight, those long sleeve ts stopped me burning up on the ride back.
I was way too hot to wear the leather jacket but I had already burned up riding to your place wearing just a t-shirt.
Hanging around in the desert didn't help though
It's ok, FJ won't be reading this. He'll be out partying

Yeah John, "kind'a", I guess.
BUT, for some reason, the gentleman in question here always reminded me a bit more of Lex Luther than he does Lois Lane's main squeeze, dude.
AND, of course, I'm thinkin' that THAT has somethin' to do with their mutual choice of "coiffures"!!!

And BTW FT...Yep, that's why I usually order the long-sleeve T-shirts for this thing. Yep, the way I figure it, a rider can always roll them suckers up if they want to get a little sun on their arms, but they sure can't roll down short-sleeves once Ol' Sol has turned their arms that blustering shade of scarlet, right?!

Sorry to hear you can't make it down to Prescott this year Z-man, so here's to 2010! And here's to you and Karen havin' a great ride up your way this year! BTW...If you're going to be part of the Northwest Rally this year, and if you guys are planning on goin' through Kelowna BC again, maybe you guys can look up my Ma there while you're all passin' through that part of BC. Just tell her I sent ya, and I know you guys will be more than welcome! (I'm not kiddin'....just let me know, and I'll tell Ma to expect you folks to stop by for a bit, EH?!...she's right off the main drag there, "aboat" a mile before you hit the big new bridge goin' over Lake Okanagan goin' west!)

I won't be in Prescott this year, because I have too many other trips lined up in May. On the 8th and 9th, I'll be in Cottonwood for the Smoke Out, and the next weekend I'll be in California for the Hanford Show & Swap Meet, plus the Dan Rouit Flat Track Museum Open House. I've been wanting to do the California trip for years. Might take a few days after the shows to do some riding in the Sierra Foothills.

Well...there goes my RIGHT ARM, folks!!! Sorry to hear this, Derek. (but I think I know the "REAL reason" here...You're hooked on ridin' that cool GTS1000 around lately, aren't YA?!...and so you've left us ol' Triumph ridin' slobs in your dust, HUH???!!!!) Tell ya what! If your route to Hanford just happens to take you through THIS Concrete Jungle, maybe we could hook up and I'll ride with ya there! Ya know, it's been a few years since I've gone to that show, AND I STILL haven't as of yet ever made it to that particular Flat Track museum!(kind'a surprisin' since you know how I "kind'a" appreciate those kinds o' bikes, huh?!) So...what ya say?
