Thanks Paul. I don't think it's a total wash. I'll make an excuse for Friday which will be frowned upon but Thursday is a NO way in hell kind of thing.
I bet what will happen is I leave at 4 or 5 am and meet you guys at the place before the Friday ride so I can go...or...you all let me know where you're eating lunch and I'll meet with you all there. I think I'll just miss a day but nothings for sure.

That would be cool, Chris. I'm sure we could start a little later on Friday, do breakfast or something. For Friday's ride, I was thinking we could go down Rt 5 to Mountain View , spend an hour or so exploring (bluegrass capital of AR,) continue south on Rt 9 turn north on US 65 at Clinton. Continue on to Rt 27 then head north on Ar 14 to Yellville and head back to Mountain Home. Possibly making a detour to Bullshoals White River State Park. It shouldn't be to hard to catch us somewhere along the way or before we leave.

Chris should be able to make it to breakfast if he rides like normal.

Don't know yet. I keep getting butt pucker after the needle passes 120  . Mortality always sets in for me after 120 and that's that . So I guess I've done about 123 or 124 according to the clock...not sure of it's accuracy.

Yeah, a true 120 mph is about "Butt-Pucker" speed for me too.
It's where I start lookin' life in the face.

It's funny, isn't it erle, you know, that moment when it hits you. You say, "what the hell am I doing?...I could really have a problem if something goes wrong here".
The first thing that comes to my mind is the possiblility of the death wobble in the front end. I've never had it, but that's what I think about.

Chris would have the advantage until there is a turn in the road, then he goes off and runs into trees

Really don't know Chris that well, but I think a dog would have to pee on that corner.
