Hay ,  Anybody interested in Suches Ga. this weekend ?   13 -15 Sept.  if it don't rain !

The Guzzi folks are planing a get-to-gether but everybody is welcome and most of those folks have 10 bikes (one being a guzzi) .      Most of them post their list of machines as signatures on their post and everything from Harleys to sport bikes are listed.

If Marcia wants to go or it rains , I'll have to bring the truck .    Just how it is nowdays.

Unfortunately I am out. Right in the middle of a kitchen remodel and have to tear out cabinets and countertops this weekend, run some electrical and plumbing, and hang new sheetrock in preparation for new cabinets next week.

Why don't you Guzzi's head south and we can knock out the kitchen in a couple of hours  

I will be going to Barber's on Saturday 5 October. Me, brother, and friend are riding up for a long, full Saturday and headed back home Saturday night.

My Son is flying out the 22nd. So after that I can take off for a ride.   If the weather don't look good then I might truck the bike.    Ya'll don't care if I bring a date do ya ?

Well then...there goes our usual arrangements of the three of us getting a single room and that small twin bed that you and Dave always share  

Let me know what pops up...I have learned to bundle up by now, and if Dave brings his battery heated vest I am going to drain his batteries while he is sleeping so we are all on an even playing field  

This weekend I am actually free for the most part due to not laying floors (cabinet delays), but corrections are likely next week whereas I will be stuck doing housework the weekend of the 26th.

For these very late in the year and cold at night events......tent camping is out for me - the Two Wheel in has heat, bathroom/shower in the room, and a nice garage to park the bike.

It costs a bit more than tent camping - but it is worth it to have a warm place to sleep at night.

Deb may come as well........we just have to wait and see if the weather cooperates.  Last year the advanced weather forecast was soooooo wrong, and the promised 50 degrees turned out to be 20-30 degrees colder!

We can watch the weather for the next two weeks and see if either one of them works out.   I can leave on Wednesday night and ride Thursday through Saturday and come home on Sunday either weekend (Stewmills and Bailey can arrive late Friday night and only ride on Sat/Sun).  The cold morning temps may not be to Deb's liking....she likely won't want to come if the temps are cold and I will come alone.

So lets watch Oct 24 through 27 (currently showing rain on Friday and Sunday).

And watch Oct 31 through Nov 3 (currently showing cloudy and dry).

We don't need to ride all 4 days - I am just letting you know that I can ride any of those days if the weather makes it possible....maybe we only ride Saturday/Sunday and I come home on Monday.  This time of year I think we have to let the weather choose the dates.

By the end of Tuesday we need to make a decision if we want to ride on Thursday......so I can get packed up and ready to leave on Wednesday.  If we ride later in the week.....hopefully everybody can react and make a commitment with a 2 day notice.

This weekend (26th 27th) is out for me...have two family birthdays. Argh....

Looks like this weekend is a bust.......so the wife and I are going to go on a long local ride on Thursday.

MM is suggesting we try for the Nov 8-10th weekend and he will be bringing Marcia, and I will likely be bringing Deb.  We will watch the weather and see how it goes......Accuweather shows daytime highs in the 50's and night time temps in the middle 30's for that time of year - my wife may not be real keen on riding in those temps but I am OK with it.  (This year I will be using my heated vest, new winter jacket and insulated pants......and the bike has heated grips).  Maybe the women will go adventure in the car during the chilly morning hours, then ride with us in the afternoon when it is warmer.
