Been counting the days, and planning for the heat, looking forward to seeing all my old friends, and meeting a buncha new ones... But, it looks like I'm gonna miss only my 3rd InZane.
Just found out that my 19 year old son (Austin) will be having surgery on Thursday the 19th. My plan had been to hop on the beast, and head south on Saturday the 21st. It is not life or death surgery, but they said to plan on him spending a day or two in the hospital after the surgery, then heading home to recover.
He lives with me, and with his mom's current living arrangement (shacked up with the guy she left for), Austin wants to get better in his own home/bed... I've had the week off for InZane scheduled for months, so I will be spending it taking care of my son, rather than getting rowdy with a buncha old, fat bikers
I'm gonna miss all you goof balls... I'm holding out hope that come Monday or Tuesday, following surgery, he will tell me that my 24/7 care is no longer needed, and I may be able to do the 675 miles in a day, and at least make a day or two.
Gonna be looking forward to lots pictures and stories

Tell Austin I said to listen to the Dr's and Dad.
He is the one who rode around your area on the Chevy with me isn't he.
Good luck on the surgery and heal properly. Never want to have to do it twice. That just isn't healthy. I got the 'T' shirt to prove it.
I'm with you on the pictures and stories.
If the attendees ride Hwy 7, go down the 1st time SLOW, then after you have a feel for the road, ya can give her hell coming back. I almost lost it on my 88 Yamaha coming up from a Rally in Southern Arkansas several years ago. Sand in some of the curves and corners.
Must be close to July 4th, as my neighbors are setting off boom booms, Sound like they might be M-80's, back in the day that was what I shot off in California.
