There's a good chance we will ride along at least some of the way. Have not planned that far ahead.

I haven't decided what route I am going to take to Inzane. I know I am leaving Friday afternoon and riding as far as I can. Then get up Saturday morning and ride some more. I might catch up with you guys in KS Saturday night. I will have to see how things work out. Hay  Jimmty |

Is anyone thinking of trailering? I know what you're thinking and no, not the Rumblebee. Janet would like to ride while up there, but not ride up there and back.

You might try to see if any Harley riders are going to Inzane - they will probably be trailering since it's more than 100 miles.  |

Realizing that this is still about a month away.
If we both leave Saturday morning. My plans are taking I-45 north to Dallas area and then picking up I-35 E. You are taking I-35 north. We could possibly meet on the north side of Denton at the Denton Travel Plaza. (Sounds like a large truck stop). Looks to be about 300 miles from my house to there. Looks like about 215 miles from Cedar Park to that area.
Three and a half hours for you and about four and three quarter hours for me.
Possibly, I could leave at 6, pick up Bobby about 7 and be there 10:45 - 11:00. You could leave around 7-7:30 and be there around the same time.
I am just trying to put some of this down in writing to help me out.
Questions, thoughts, objections, suggestions. I am getting anxious to hit the road.
Our monthly VRCC meeting for the Houston area is this Wednesday evening. Hoping Bobby will be there so we can discuss. Also, may be talking to Jimmy (HayHauler) about them possibly riding along.

Bobby, how are you with meeting somewhere around 1488 or Conroe about 7:00 on that Saturday morning? As you are more familiar with that area, I will let you pick an easy, obvious meet up place.
Are you taking the trailer or not? Installing the fuel keg?

As your typed I was sending you an email regarding this Yes, I'm going with the trailer. I greased the bearings last week, and aired the tires. Stinger's ready to roll.. You can rent space for a nominal sum if you have any extra stuff. I installed the "Beer" keg yesterday. I'm going to change the oil this coming weekend, and give it a final pre-flight.  |
