Okay, seems there's a slim chance I'll be riding solo from Des Moines into Waterloo/Evansdale on the 5th. Anyone in that neck of the woods heading to rally central is welcome to convoy. PM me for route details. 
Did you not get the pm from me the other day with route details and a meeting point? 
Yep, sure did Dave. I plan to be at the Triumhant Church (@ juction of Hwy 150 & Hwy20 in Independence, IA) sometime around 11:00 a.m. or so to meet ya'll to motor on to Westby.

Dave and Chris will be the guys with smoking tires and faces that look to be pulling 7 G's. I'll be the fella in the back attached to them with a bungee and a look of fear about me.

That sounds familiar - Rick instead of Dave, but familiar. And now that Chris has another 1500cc's...

The last time I tried to burn rubber, I throttled a little too much and pulled a massive wheely that crushed my D&D's up a little on the back tips.  Whoops.  . You all will see what I did.  I'm pissed but more embarrassed.

In remembrance of Friar John, I suggest we wear a piece of black cloth on our bikes, maybe tied to the bars or mirror or something. What do ya think? (And hopefully, I'll have a memorial sticker by then.)
Seeing as how Black Beauty is well Black, I thought that a bit of Black ribbon round the mirror would work, but thought again that it wouldn't be that visible. So, I got creative, did some cut n' paste computer stuff and came up with this. 
Very temporary as it probably wont stand a lot of weather...but it should work until we get the offical "Friar's memorial stickers/patches"

Sorry gang but I'm going to have to drop out. Mom fell Saturday night and broke both her wrist and hip and I'll be in rotation with my brothers and sister care taking of dad until we get it figured out.
That frees up a bunk...

Now that's true. I just haven't built the confidence yet to drop this thing lower in the curves at speed. I'm a wuss and don't want to go low down under this monster.

Sorry to hear that Ed, I was also looking forward to finally meeting you in person. Hope your mom heals up nice and quick.
Now, can I interest you in one Arkansas Rally this fall?

Bummer. But your parents are lucky to have you and your family to help out. I know plenty of older folks who don't have anybody. There's always another rally.

With oldroadie not being able to make the run my route and departure day has changed a bit. I’ll be leaving out of Knoxville, TN on the Wednesday the 4th with plans to arrive in Westby Thursday afternoon. Looking forward to seeing a few old friends and a lot of new friends.

Glad to learn that it isn't Obama at least. Now Romney might be an interesting guest. I'm betting it's somebody we all know from the forums...
