all the ducks are in a row, the leg work is done and everything is ready...some folks are on the road already, all the bikes are serviced and ready to roll, most will be heading out in the morning....This is Joe's and I's 3rd year for doing these rides, we do them just to get folks together for some fun riding and to meet and make new friends while visiting with old friends, there's nothing better in the motorcycle world then that....I going to missing my old friends that can't make the ride this year and we'll toast a drink to all of you friday nite and maybe saturday too....
For those of you that never made one of these rides maybe next year...

We're pulling out in the morning and will be picking up 6-7 bikes along the way....we hope evreryone has a dry and safe trip to Franklin, the folks in this little sleepy W.Va. town all know we're coming according to the folks at the hotel, they said we have every room in the town booked...the Adventure Riders will be in this area also this weekend about 200 strong (dual sport bike riders) so there will be plenty of traffic out there so be alert...have a safe trip and we'll see you in Franklin....
