Phil, do you think La Cosa might possibly be ready if TWO gets slipped a week?

Phil, I know you still have a 2 wheeler, come on it if you have to! Having said that, I need to know about this weekend. I have lodge reservations for JerryB & myself. I will have to cancel tonight. Let me know asap, I also have a planned meeting on Skype with KeithG. I have no objection to backing up a week.

TWO Date Changed to May 1-2
|
|
|
|
|
After a few phone calls were placed off-line between some of the planned attendees, a decision was made to slip the TWO gathering by one week to the weekend of May 1-2.
With some luck the weather will be better, although there were other considerations in addition to the weather.
Hope to see everyone then.

I figured it would be pushed back a week. I am perfectly fine with that. See everyone then.

I am not believing this! Phil, there is no rule that says you have to come to TWO on La Cosa, don't you still have a 2 wheel vehicle? In other words, you are telling your "old" friends that you would rather meet some "Hardley" riders than join us? That alone almost brought on another heart attack! Gene

Gene, don't have a heart attack on my account. please. I have put so much time and cash into La Cosa I find myself drained of both and she's still not ready. Yesterday I sent a letter and the title to Diane, Dick's widow, for an endorsement and notarizing like DMV ordered. Maybe if I get the same clerk this time will work. Also, not too confident on two wheels/long trips anymore.

Not a word out of Georgia this weekend. If you guys were there and rained out, we would at least see a spoof or two generated by Gene's laptop. Wildman Will is stranded in Murfreesboro this weekend with cage trouble. If the weather was good and you had a good ride, we would have heard that last night. Unless Gene was not there. edit Having just gotten the Fox news report on the area, I'm hoping everyone stayed home for the weekend.

Actually broken down in Blountville, TN - approx. 310 miles from Murfreesboro. Not too far from the Bristol Motor Speedway.
Wish I was broken down in the boro - they have lots of hotels, repair shops, etc and at least I know a few people there. Oh well...hoping to gain access to a garage and additional tools today to get up and running again. If not then maybe tomorrow.... Thankful that I got out of the Nashville before the worst of the bad weather hit. Drove through some very very heavy rain....

Pulley seperated from the harmonic balancer. Need to pull the fan and radiator most likely to have room to pull the harmonic balancer and replace. Jeep Cherokee with a 5x8 trailer in tow with a cx in it. Was able to get off the highway after letting it cool off.

You still have my number. If you get up against it, feel free to call. Is the trailer a u-haul. Is this another turbo?

I am home and dry now. Gene did not show, was just me, Dave, and Jerry. It was fogged out and rainy all weekend. We went for a short ride Sat. where it had cleared just enough to be enjoyable. Had some good food, stopped at a Guzzi dealer. Sat around the campground most of the weekend. All n all it was a good time.
I think I have stumbled on a thought. It is not Jerry who is a rain magnet. When you get him and Dave together is when the real stuff comes down. At least Sunday when I got away from Jerry the sun came out. The clouds went away and warmed up a lot.

I was very tempted to blow off work and zoom down there, but decided against it when I checked the weather, and realized how bushed I felt after 2 straight 60 hour weeks. I was treated to hot humid weather here but no rain for the weekend. Glad to hear three die hards did arrive at TWO and that you had a damp but enjoyable time. Setting my sights on BRMC in June and hope to see you guys there. I will bring my rain gear for sure, especially if Jerry and Dave are going to be there at the same time.
And Phil, you stick to your guns. La Cosa will be ready when La Cosa is ready. If you and "the thing" are ready to ride to BRMC we will see you there.
May the wind always be at your back and the sun overhead as you make your way down the ever winding, smoothly paved, traffic free road!

I canceled due to a sudden decline in the health of Mabel's brother. As it turns out this was a good thing due to weather here in mid-TN area. In less than 2 days we have had more than 13 inches of rain. Nashville is a major disaster area. There have been 8 to 10 deaths from drowning. It is still raining and it is not due to stop until tomorrow.
I have received an email, relayed by Jason, from WMW & he has apparently found a place where he can work on his Jeep. He is better off up in Bristol than here, there has been a lot of flooding here in the Boro.

Harmonic balancer, serpentine belt and radiator were replaced this morning. I left around 12:45 pm and got home about a half hour ago.... Fairly uneventful rest of the trip...few delays on the way home due to accidents and construction areas.

Picasso, We could meet up and ride I-81 together if you want, I'll lead you in. Edit: Sorry, I got my rally's mixed up. (Thought we were on the Amish Rally) Edit again:
To this Rally I'll travel to and from on the blue Ridge Parkway exclusively.

I was ready to hook up the trailer and come down. You didn't say what bike you got... or is it a secret.. or did you have your turbo in the trailer?

Hi Tony - guess you haven't been on facebook... So instead, check out this thread
BTW - I don't have your number saved in my phone, I'll e-mail you so that I can add it back in again.
I ended up putting an alternator in the Jeep on Tuesday night. Guess now that its turned a 100,000 (and then some) I may have some petty little things to replace. I'm pretty confident that the straight 6 engine will keep running for a long time though.

I'm still on for Blue Ridge in June. Not sure if I'll have the CX done by then, but I'll be there on the Magna if I don't.
Really hoping I have the CX done... you guys are going to flip when you see it.

Charles, I guess some of us know who was the original owner of that 1981 GL500 Interstate restoration project, listed in your future jobs.
Good to see you active on YOUR BB.
I am sorry that I slowed you down so much on one of your transits on the BRP - way back about 4 years ago - on our way to TWO.

Hah, no worries about that Don. I've slowed down a lot in my old age. In truth, the CX is most likely not going to make it there. There's just too much to do before the trip and I won't have enough time to give it a sold shakedown... but I might trailer it with my Magna. At the very least I'll bring some photos, but I will be there.

Charles, You will probably realise that there were quite a few reasons why I WAS a bit slow - first time riding a GL500 Interstate, headstem bearings were a bit notchy, first time riding on the righthand side of the road, and trying to see some of the BRP scenery as well.
Rubber side down, please.

Don, don't you mean your first time riding on the right side of the road? I'll be thinking of you when we are up there in a couple of weeks.
Charles, good for you, by slowing down you probably will live much longer!

I'm in, but La Cosa may not be. I'm expecting new rod ends tomorrow but I can't order the rods until after the ends are installed, that I can determine the lengths. Speedway motors is very fast shipping but I still need to test ride it. My turning radius may be somewhat restricted with the new setup. We'll see.

I put the CX back on the road this week. If the weather gods stop pissing on my head I'll ride it up on the 4th. Otherwise it'll be the Burgman.

DaveF, have not heard from you in a while. Are you going to make the BR?
JerryB, whichever you show up on you will have a roof over your little pointed head!
Phil, it was my understanding that you could walk to the BR campgrounds if you needed to!
The 650 is in for a tune-up, its running OK, I just think it can do better. I plan to leave Thursday during the day and take my time getting there. I will overnite somewhere on the road & probably reach the camp by early or mid-afternoon.
Charles, as I mentioned to you earlier I expect you to have some good places to eat staked out.
I am only now realizing the benefit of having more than one bike, having a hack & a bike is really great. I use the hack for almost all grocery runs and many other errands around town. Now if I could only find room to park a third bike............ Gene

I've got the route almost done now. Maybe a few more tweaks. I plan on being there sometime Friday. The Weather Channel doesn't look good. Maybe all that rain will be gone by then.

I got my days off approved for Thursday through Monday so I will be headed down first thing Thursday morning rain or shine and will arrive Friday at some point. The 10 day forecast does say showers but weather is not all THAT predictable, so we shall see. They ride and camp in England and it rains there a lot, and I haven't had a good soaking in a while! Besides my bike is kinda dirty and could use a good North Carolina mountain rain shower.
May the wind always be at your back and the sun overhead as you make your way down the ever winding, smoothly paved, traffic free road!

Considering the shity wet ride I had coming home from HTTA Fall Rally, rain on the horizon may influence my decision to be there. Yet...

BRMC Campground management doesn't return my calls. I called to reserve a cabin, just got the answering machine. It made me push La Cosa's progress a little harder, to haul my camping gear in back and a Gas can for Gene's peace of mind.

So, I won't be on a CX. I'll have the dark red 1984 VF1100C V65 Magna (heavily modified), and I'll be there with my girlfriend, who is on a late-model gixxer.
Come over and introduce yourselves. Or re-introduce yourselves. My face-to-name memory is crap (I'm getting old!)

No, you're not getting old but names & faces are always hard to put together. However, you will have the advantage of me, the last time I saw you, there was a lot more of you to see! I have not changed like that, just sort of like an old picture left out in the sun, sort of faded out, don't ya know! I got my 650 back today after a tune up & it is running good, all it needs is to be ridden! See you Friday afternoon. Gene
