Well now is sounds like we just might havea crew this time. Hey Ed, are you sure you can't make it? I hear that piece of 321 calling...."...Eeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddddd.......EEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddd
dddddd........"

Also, Lancer, you gonna have an "official" Savage to ride or are you bringing the "Extra piston Model?"

Oldfeller...you goona ride the "Rolling Rumba" machine...or bringing something else?

Any and all dates look good...as for shirts....Graphic is going on BACK tis year...so Ed, sorry no tire track....

BTW...last year when we went for milk shakes, we were on 321

That sorta depends .... I will "dress appropriately" depending on what others are bringing and according to how we plan to behave.

Sounds like Ed is planning to come, so you got the entire quartet of the Wild Bunch plus some extras.

So, how are we planning to behave anyway?

I'm bringing the first aid kit, some quick epoxy and some cheap spare Harley pegs (just in case we need a footpeg somewhere along the way).

We need a good set of tools, but between Lancer and Ed we did OK last time.

Extra piston no more; sold it last month to pay for the SRX I picked up on ebay a few months back. There is just the '96 Savage ( REX ) and '86 SRX now. I really want to have REX going for the ride. I miss the big single ride. The sporty was nice; I had always wanted one; but it was too heavy for my liking. I prefer the lighter weight and responsiveness of a big single.

Oh, no -- so this is now a male ego challenge you've done issued to the aging meek and mild bunch ...

You want's us to put you some jalapenos and habanero peppers chopped up to put in your "too mild" cream cheese frito dip, huh?

(Heck, only one of us could actually catch up with a pretty long haired girly girl riding a 1200cc Harley for Christ's sake ....)

I'll just have to try to hand push my wheel chair a wee bit little faster this time.

No, we are still waiting on info from Versalgen and Tincanman concerning a potential time span when they can both be there.

It is smelling like for us to be up in the high country around June 27, 28, 29, 30 -- or something closely resembling it.

I will be riding my wheelchair, Verslagen is borrowing something, Lancer will be riding a 600 to 700cc single cylinder Yamasuki, Ed will be riding his oil-coolered Savage, Toymaker will be riding his new bike that he ain't bought yet, you haven't told what you are riding yet, Tincanman is planning to rent something, SevierSavage is riding whatever he brings and all the rest of the folks on the list who haven't spoken up yet are still riding the fence ....

(don't them little white pointy things dig in your butt something fierce, up there on them fence posts ??)

I've fallin' off the fence and my foot caught between the points! I've posted my preference and it ain't june nor july. The 4th definitely ain't, I want august. But I really do want to go, will put the dates on my calendar. Right now it's too far out for me to think about.

well as I said I will be there some time (Im sure well after noon) on the 27th. Im purdy savvy with a map so finding things wont be a problem. as for anyone being with me!! Im going to say NO. there MAY be a slight chance that they would follow us in the cager but I really dont think they would have any interest in that. so things would have to work well for me to hit Sunday 28th. ie.. bike shop open either late Saturday or at all on Sunday.

only thing I have to find out is when I can pick up the bike. and Im good to go for Sunday28th

I'd really like to join y'all if possible. It would be nice to put faces to some of these names. It will all depend on what dates you choose. I work the 28th and the 4th, ( it can really suck being a firefighter when your shift falls on a holiday) but its only a couple hour ride for me to get up there. I can make it a day trip if need be.

Too many commitments already! But we'll see how the summer shapes up once we get into spring.

Probably it will get a lot closer and then Toymaker will simply decide according to whatever fits best.
