good deal,, ride on :cooldude:
Thanks, Randy  :cooldude: I was pretty down in the dumps a few hours ago. Brenda is flying there tomorrow morning. The thought of her unescorted amongst all these badass Valkyrie dudes had me a little concerned.  ;)

Congrats.  Been there many times, Amarillo isn't a heckuva lot of fun.  Watch for those panhandle troopers.  They'll getchya if they can!

Bruce, I know you are elated for me ! Words can't describe how elated, and humbled I am right now. It's great to know so many people have "got your back". I want to thank all who have reached out. Words can not describe how good that makes me feel. Thank you one and all !!


THE RIDE LIVES ON

The emperor has no clothes

My elation is slipping into nervousness that I'm going to have a meltdown in the parking lot. I've done it now 5 or 6 times. One was a breeze, the rest not so much.

I think he should forget the "speedy" part and slow down and enjoy it. That's my advice  ;D

Picture of happiness.


I can't say enough about the boys at B&W . New rotor, new bearings, new brushes. $201. I had been contemplating $900 uhaul to Roanoke and then fixing it.

I have a question about the filter that's on the I/S ? One of the wires broke or I broke it in the dark last night. I'm not going to do anything wrong if it's not hooked up ?

Sounds like a radio filter?

Sorry you are having trouble, maybe the rest of the trip will get better.

I sure hope so. Best wishes.

Yeah I think it is. I'm not going to worry about it. Got her in. Just got to button everything up, shower, and pack. I can't thank everybody enough for the support, it meant a lot. Nothing ever goes without a hiccup though. I left the nut on the alt for the hookup. They left it off and I didn't notice. Another hike to Home Depot  :)

All part of the adventure, and a great story to exaggerate when you get to Roanoke. I'm glad things seem to be working out for you now Rob, and wish you safe and trouble free riding the rest of your  trip  :cooldude:

I would suggest the IMMEDIATE deletion of this post before you JINX IT anymore. Go ride! DO NOT LOOK BACK. Be safe but with enough reckless abandon to make it fun!
Wishing all a great time at INZANE.

Glad you got it sorted out Rob. Don't worry about the filter although you may hear your plugs in the radio.
Man I'm going to miss all you guys this weekend.

Rob,

Fab news! Yes, I am relieved to hear things have turned around for you. I also know of the elation you feel and the gratitude for the response you've received from our brothers/sisters here! There really is a silver lining to this set-back, and that elation/gratitude is part of it.

It's one thing to give assistance or advice or sympathy, but it's quite another to find yourself in need and on the receiving end of that phenomena. Indescribable, but profound... and so humbling! Congrats on having moved to a new level of 'participation' in the VRCC... Feels mighty good, doesn't it...?

DDT

P.S. Nice move by you to find an alternator repair shop and engage them for repairs... You probably saved yourself a day or more by doing so rather than waiting on a new unit to be shipped to you. As for Brenda, she can handle herself well, and besides, she'll be surrounded by some of the finest folks I've ever known!!!
Don't just dream it... LIVE IT!

See ya down the road...

Hahaha!  You told us before your wife.  Not sure of the significance of that, but we won't tell her.


You can't do much about the length of your life, so focus on the width.

What happens in Amarillo, stays in Amarillo.  ;D  She's flying into Roanoke tomorrow, don't let anything slip.  ;)
Stopped in Henryetta for the night. I really wanted to catch up to those guys in Alabama. I was getting tired, and Dennis reminded me of deer being out and about. See everyone Sunday  :cooldude:

Meathead surfaced at Inzane? Been kinda quiet since the breakdown. Hope it was smooth sailing the rest of the way.

I think today is the most likely time. The VRCC gathering and pie
auction tonight doesn't start until 8:00.

I think I'm going on an all-day ride today, I'll be following, so I can only hope
to get back at a reasonable time.

I talked to the shuttle driver. I think it would be cool if it worked out to get shuttled
there if we thought we'd be back by 8:00.

Where is there? I think the Bethlehem Restaurant seems like the most likely place,
and it is within the "several mile" range of the shuttle.

I went on a ride that lasted until about ten minutes to 8:00... I guess at least
we all know how to spell shawarma now  :cooldude:
