I don't know why I do it, it always get cruddy traveling anyway.

And the harder I work, the more likely it rains.  What's up with that?

If anyone wants their bike to look REALLY shiny and clean, just look for mine at Inzane... Easy to find, blue and ivory and dirt with SERK license plate.

Park yours next to mine, mine's so dirty it'll make yours look even shinier than it is!

It'll be a different trip for me this time. I'm trailering to Roanoke. Used to be that if my bike was on a trailer it was stolen. The Missus is coming with me, and unfortunately she can't ride that far due to an injury.  Embarrassed
Besides, from Roanoke were heading up to our old stomping grounds in New England for a months, Heck, even if she could ride that far, there is no way that she could pack enough stuff on the Valk to last her 5 weeks.  Evil

Anyhow, we head out from FL on Saturday morning, with a visit to the Grand kids in Charleston, SC for a night. Will arrive in Roanoke Sunday late afternoon. Looking forward to it, and reacquainting ourselves with many of you. It's been a while since Eureka Springs! cooldude

Weatherman says sunday we will hit severe thunderstorms and plain old rain so we will try to get as far as possible saturday  If it were up to me we would get to IZ on Sat late afternoon and hunker down  BRP can wait for return trip, we have done it and wont do it in that kind of weather again

With a butt limit of 5 hrs Bonnie will be a real sport if  I can get to Harrisonburg where they have lots of motels and only 2 hrs from ground zero

Her longest 1 day ride was Johnson City to about an hour short of Allentown in 90+ degree heat. She no like rain   Undecided Undecided Undecided  It dont bother me unless lightning and green clouds

   This is my 1st Inzane so, I have no history on this subject.
   I will tell you that I had on my Inzane to do list: clean bike. Then I thought why? It will be a mess well in advance of Roanoke. Besides, be a job to do when I get home.
    I've been avoiding the weather forecast but, I did hear by accident the same forecast Oss mentioned above.  Angry
    See you guys shortly. Leaving NE Ohio Sunday mo'nin.  Smiley

The local weatherman isn't predicting a rainout for Sunday but there will be some passing thunderstorms.

 Mine is clean at this point but the weather is supposed to be wet for our trip to Roanoke. Oh well. I can always wash it when I get there. That is if they have a wash station on site this year.

I do.  But if I forget to, I park near Daniel Meyer's standard so mine looks clean.
