I can stay, or I can head home. I am flexible. If we roll down and everyone feels like it? I am fine with heading back. If were late and beat then I would like to have a hot shower and a bed.

Steveo-O --  We may be fortunate enough to have a few more Austin cats joining us.  I will know more, soon.  If so, they likely won't be on vintage SOHC's, but they are vintage bike folks, tried and true.  With that, reserving an additional site may be wise.  I'll let you know if they can make it as soon as I know more - just wanted to give you a heads-up.

I might bring my brother, he won't be on a SOHC4, but he is an accountant and needs a break after tax season.

Those accountants are nuts. At least the one I knew was. He was the life of the party. Also voted most likely to drown or choke on his own vomit.

Hey Boys....I was out scouting camp sites on the black bomber! As of today, we have our pick, noone else has reserved any sites so there will be plenty of room.

Proto here monitoring the traffic and waiting for a meet date with Justin. We have agreed on a location already.  Will then firm up things with Heffay and crew for the AZ handoff.

No dates for Team 4 yet obviously. I'll keep Proto and Justin in the loop.

Anyone going to 29 Palms? (other than Brown)

So am I still meeting someone tomorrow?  Can we nail down a time?  You guys want to grab lunch some place and hang out for a few? Someone let me know where I need to be.

If you guys can narrow it down, it would help.  The place is 2 hours away and I am trying to get a buddy to ride over there with me so I am not bored for that long straight ride.

I will wait for Coke, but I am guessing around 1???. He said we would grab lunch and then head back. Its going to take us about 4+ hours I am guessing. Maybe 5 depending on which way we go.

I think we may be more like 1:30, depending on how our travels go.

If anyone has coke's number, call him and let him know I am at ihop in Denison. My phone fell out on the highway and I don't have his number.

Well, Godzilla is back at my house.  Coke And Roach, sorry for being late. I hope you guys had a good ride back. 

So, a few minutes after I sent Coke a text telling him I was 30 minutes away, my phone fell out of my pocket going down the highway and it broke, badly.  Luckily, I have insurance so...

As soon as you guys get rested up and de-compressed we need to see some rider reports along with PICTURES!!!!  ;D ;D The momentum is starting to build... I've cut and fit new padding for my seat (the ancient foam turned to dust last year halfway between Joshua Tree CA and Parker AZ) and will literally stitch up a spot or two in the old cover before fitting it back onto the seat-pan.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Good to see the bungie cord, too. I expect she'll see a few thousand miles of her own.
