I was hoping to ride this bike to the October ride Oss is sponsoring, but, this is what she looks like at the moment.  And that alone isn't what is stopping me, it's when I looked closer to the headlights, I found this mess.  One of the PO'S couldn't figure out how to reuse the light springs and decided JB weld, or some such wonderful product, would hold the bulbs better. Then there's the wiring, which looks heavy duty, but the plugs are unprotected and the rubber covers are missing. Ordered all new from Procaliper, but doubt I'll get the parts in time to install everything. Luckily, I have options.  My original Valk with my buddy Jack and his awesome Road King Hack job. |

Dang Bill, that's too bad. I was looking forward to seeing your new blue bike. I've never seen such a thing done with headlights.  |

 Its still too early for the 10 day forecast but I am putting in my best prayers for a clear, dry and cool 65 degree weekend Some colors are already coming out in the Catskills!!! Ive been speaking with some friends who ride sportsbikes shaming them that they only ride 20 -50 miles at a time and they need to do a 200 mile ride or shut up about how they are riders. To me an epic ride is all day with or without friends, for a bunch of days followed by a different way home. Gary any days you come you are welcome of course. Oss feelin just a wee bit down about attendance, and wondering if anyone from Michigan, Ohio or the midwest may come ride with us Pretty sure this year is not on any southerners list, maybe next year?

One week to go...
Just throwing this out there. If anyone attending needs a hotel room, I have reservations made at two different locations. My buddy isn't able to make it, so I have rooms available in each.
Springhill Suites, the original location that Oss put together. I don't know if they're honoring the discounted rate of $170 ish (?), reg is $239. Two rooms available here.
Extended Stay in White Plains-Elmford. My backup, $125/night. I'll probably keep one of these for myself, so one is available.
If this works for anyone, let me know sooner than later. I need to cancel whatever I don't want in the next few days....

We need some help from Canada.
They need to put together a real strong weather high front, push it towards us and push Matthew out into the Atlantic.
I sometimes complain about the weather they send us and always complain about their geese, but now I'm looking for some help.

Ok this is going to be the last day I ask stupid questions about NYC. As I understand it I will have 1 toll bridge on the route to Oss's ? I also understand there are 3 ways of going thru. EZPASS, exact change, and a regular pay. Do you guys know what the exact change one is ? Are my assumptions correct ?

Cost of bridge toll is $8. No discount for cash and no exact change needed. There are two choices of toll lanes 1)EZ Pass (purple lanes) or 2) EZ Pass and cash (non purple lanes). Choice 2 lanes are manned and give change and receipts.

I think it's just the Whitestone or Throgs Neck bridge to get to the Bronx.
After that I don't think there's anything else....
Right Gary?

After the bridge, Google brings you up the Sprain Brook Pkwy.
That's a pretty ride.
