Sorry, I really missed last year and missing this year does not make me happy. We'll just have to get together when this is over.

If I do....there is a mandatory quarantine for 14 days when I return. A week in Texas could cost me 2 weeks of work when I return, as they will not let me come into work. So....it appears I am out as well. Bummer!

I'll call to cancel Wensday and hope I don't get a April Fools Jokester on the other end of the phone. Huh

Well , YouzGuyz you might as well get Thumper out and Roll-them-Miles !

Sorry to miss it but ...

Hopefully we can still do the Arkansas ride this fall. Maybe even a Dragon run. The 4th of July weekend our CMAUSA group is booked for a "Field of the Woods" trip , with a Dragon run throw ed in for extra. I hope the ALL CLEAR is sounded by then !

Replaced the neutral switch yesterday. (I wonder if that is a first?) Checked tensioner. Fresh oil later today then a short test ride.
I will keep ya'll posted on when I hit the 200k mark. Looks like it will be a solo ride, which is normal for me anyway.

Need to put Thumper back on the road anyway as Hamish needs fork seals done. Always sumpthin.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

The upside is that when MM goes on a gravel pig trail, we don't have to follow him

Yeah, that'll go over well. It'll be like the chase scene in Bullet. someone will be turning right and we'll all follow him... into a ditch.

Yeah. I figured we were going to have to cancel. I just did not want to admit it. We do need to let this run its cycle and meet up later in the year when possible anywhere we can do some good riding. My prayers are that this will all run its course soon, that we all survive this in good health, and that we all get a chance to ride together again. Take care and stay healthy my friends.

I am not entirely sure that the next few weeks/months will bring - our state continues to be on lock down until April 30, and I would not be surprised if that gets extended into May. Currently if I leave the state I need to quarantine myself for 14 days when I return.

When it is acceptable to leave the state again, I will be ready to go riding. I believe we could ride motorcycles and do social distancing pretty safely if we sleep in our own tents. The big problem likely becomes sharing the campground bathroom and getting fuel and food in public areas.

I am still riding whenever I get a chance. I live in a rural area and there are good roads here and when nice weather allows I sneak in a ride.

As soon as the travel ban is lifted I am going to want to go to TN/NC/GA and do some riding!

I am also riding "as usual". The only changes are packing a lunch and using disposable gloves to refuel.. and not stopping for a "good ride beer" at a favorite watering hold Angry

I spose I could pack a beer, pull into The Shade Tree, sit at a picnic table.. and pretend! Cheesy

Still waiting to roll the 200k. I was going to do it last weekend, but it was windy and I intend on flying the big flag when I do it. So, just took Mad Hamish and had a good ride.
There is one guy from the 100k ride that wants to be on the 200k. That will be kinda neat!

I've got a 50 mile loop on for today to go by the hadware store 12 miles up the road. Roll Eyes

Dave , so I'm going to practice putting up my one man pop-up tent and be getting ready for a trip to either the Dragon proper or the Two Wheels of Suches. They both have top of the line campgrounds .

In a month the Dragon Restaurant might even be open ??? Huh

Maybe I should have listened better to the "Plan to RE-Open" the country?

Right now , when I go away from home I breath through a 24hr germ killing wipe on the inside of my home made mask , and use another germ killing wipe to clean the credit card area and fuel pump with. So it cost two wipes for me to leave the house now.

Life as a "GERM-A-PHOBIC" sure is ruff ! Grin

We are now measuring our daily life in number of wipes. Weekdays I am a 1 wipe guy. Weekends when I have a lot of projects going on it may be a 3 or 4 wipe day.
