I got the analog Gauges hooked up and working Oil PSI is good, Coolant temp normal coolant fan cuts in and shuts off as per normal. Volt meter not showing anything, I may not have a good ground on it.

I'm amazed at the rate you've made it all come together. Looking forward to seeing it up close.

The weather forecast is slowly improving, with a 20-30% chance of a thunder shower each day. Saturday looks like it will be nice and sunny with no rain at all! My bike is ready (except my speedometer cable broke today), my bags are packed (mostly), and I'm going to take it easy at work the next two days so I'm well rested to start the trip early Thursday morning. Phil and I are planning on riding from his place together on Friday.
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!

Steve, thanks for tracking the weather. As I mentioned earlier heavy rains now make me nervous! I am working on getting stuff together, I seem to have misplaced my tank bag. I couldn't use it on the ST (plus I didn't really need it) and I know its here somewhere but where? Oh well, less space makes it simple, take next to nothing! So what if my jeans will stand up by themselves.
DavidF, when Phil puts his mind to it, he gets it done!
Phil, I am bringing my good camera so bring your best smile!
BTW do we have a head count, how many in cabins, how many camping?
I heard a rumor some northern folk may show up, Rich are you going to try to sneak over the Mason-Dixon line? If you get stopped call me on my cell (you have the number) and I will try to get you through! Maybe if you drafted mr. softie you could slip by the guards.

Dave, WIWT - wish I was there. But, then, if I came, all the rain would stop. I'm like an anti-rain god - we haven't had above average rain where I am for over 6 years.

Don, if that is true it must be a recent development. As you remember we had our share of rain during our Alaska/Canada trip in 08! Besides, after 2 floods at TWO you would be more than welcome!!

Maybe his Oz flag will keep the rain away! Glad you are able to come, see you in Dandridge.

My rain god should cancel out your anti-rain god. Either that or it'd be like matter/anti matter combining.

Dave, somehow, while hooking up the Volt meter and the instrument lights, I lost my headlights. I should have made a removable dash so I wouldn't have to work upside down. bring your soldering tools.

I'll bring some electrical tools along. It's now looking like I'll arrive sometime around noon on Friday.

Glenn is on the road, spending the night somewhere in Pa. I will meet him tomorrow evening in Dandridge, Tn. We should be in, maybe by noon. Taking it very easy!

I sure hope the weather man is wrong for your weekend forecast. Have fun and I'll say a prayer that the creek doesn't rise!
