Awesome. Have a great ride, Paul and Robin!

One week from Friday, a group of us are taking off for a little pre-BTB run to West Virginia. Can't wait!

We took some roads through WV and KY last year that were so twisty we passed ourselves going the other way.
I am an individual. Just like everyone else.

Dudes and Dudettes,

Mrs VoodooChile and I are all signed up with a room reservation at The Paradise, a reservation for two dinners, two BBQs, and one xxl black t-shirt. Printed out the Adirondack ride map..seems like we're good to go.

All comes down to which Triumph to ride...Bonneville or Tiger? I'll decide when I decide I guess...

Cya soon,

Some of the roads are a bit beat up. Tiger may be better two up with the longer suspension.

Mrs VoodooChile has her own sled.

I do get where you are coming from though, the Tiger soaks up the frost heaves and pot holes pretty good.

It is better for going the distance, but the Bonneville has cool.

If I bring the Tiger I could also do the dirt ride which is an option too.

I'll decide the morning I leave I suppose.

Looking forward to the festivities.

soon! Mr Scrambler is almost ready to be loaded for the trip. I am looking forward to a long ride on either Friday or Saturday and working in one of those dirt rides. I am at Paradise Friday & Sat and Midtown on Thursday. Friday to Canada sounds good to me K of F, eh?

Ok. But you won't make the BBQ in time or the meet/great. Two years ago it took Brian and I all day. We made the tail end of the BBQ-missed the food-and that was taking the interstate all the way back from the CA border. This time we twisty back, I say.

Wasn't I on that trip? I think we got to the BBQ in time to see everyone leave.

Matt,
You are correct. We missed the food and watched them ride away.

I thought I was in a terrible accident and died then went to heaven. This was my reward.
