The riding there was amazing. I'll not be bringing the big beast of an RV, but will be bringing the truck, towing the bike, and staying at the hotel. 8 Link to comment

We'll be coming in on Sunday the 7th and leaving Friday. Thanks for organizing this!! Susan @bluenoserswife and I have decided to cancel for this year. Unfortunately the temperature and humidity forecast are too high for us. 2 Link to comment

Motorhead1977 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Well, due to changes in my work and family obligations we're unable to make the UN this year. I'll be cancelling my reservation at the event hotel this afternoon and will post that here as soon as it's done. Bummer as we were really looking forward to it. See everyone at FART. 2 Link to comment
Motorhead1977 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Reservation at the event hotel has been cancelled. It was for a single King bed non smoking room from 7/7 to 7/11 (check out on 7/12. Link to comment
BruinsFan Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Therapy possibly slower than one might had hoped for? You doing good, making any strides towards knee dragging angles on the stationary GP bikes? Keep smiling boys. We're front and center of these golden years my parents always reminded me of but its looking like they may had been pulling my leg a wee bit. Ha! I'm still procrastinating as I'm so well know for. Link to comment
Motorhead1977 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Recovery is ahead of schedule and I'm riding again, with reports that I'm faster than I was pre bypass graft surgery so it's all good. Since I'm still working full time those work obligations can affect my ability to schedule the fun stuff. BTW, I haven't dragged a knee in many long times, ever since I recognized my mortality 3 1 Link to comment
TSConver Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 We may not be coming either. Susan just got told she needs a knee replacement and we have to look at time off needed for that before her disability kicks at work. Will know plans in the next few days. 1 Link to comment
Skywagon Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 TS... I have no less than 5 knee surgeries over the years.....BEST ADVISE....The Dr. will likely have her up and walking some steps the same day. Whatever they tell you to do in terms of exercising it....do it. My last one was about 4-5 years ago. They took out 80% of my meniscus in the right knee. I was walking that night...no meds.... He advised me to walk 15 minutes every 2 hours...so I set an alarm and away I went. In two days I was walking 1-2 miles a day. A good friend had a similar issue, just putzed around the house and it took 6 months to recover. Best of luck on her knee. The surgeries are so good now...she will be good before you know it. 3 Link to comment

BerettaRacer Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Late to the party, as usual, lol. Just sent my reg form in. With the bike having a breakdown on the way to START I was unsure if I could get it running in time. But, she seems to be back to normal, if not even a little better with a few tweaks to the works. Fresh grease in the trailer bearings and bearing buddy's added. Car is in the shop for service as we speak, both differentials oil change, and transmission oil change, plus a few small other unrelated jobs. Works out well that my kid brothers house in Pensacola is just about halfway, so I'll leave here early, spend a few days over the 4th there and then head on up. 2 Link to comment

I actually booked starting a day early, the 7th, but in actuallity may be arriving even earlier, the 6th, depending on weather etc, as it's one day from Pensacola where I'll be at my brothers for the 4th. Motorcycle route guides say the 226mi trip from Hot Springs to Eureka Springs is real nice, so I'll plan on makiing that my entrance route. 1 Link to comment
Yeeha Stephen Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Last minute decision.... Broke my leg in March. Last physical therapy was last Thursday and I got cleared for full weight and normal activities. I'm thinking of making the run up to ES for this UN. I'm too late to sign up for meals, so is there anyone that has/had to cancel and will sell me your meal ticket? If so can I still register this late? Inquiring minds ya' know. Stephen (remember me? Miss Vicki and I volunteered for registration at the first Eureka Springs UN) 4 Link to comment

Motorhead1977 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Just saw the weather radar on the national news and ES looked to be close to the center of the storm path. Hopefully everyone battened down the hatches and nothing left unexpectedly. Once past let the party continue! Reports of riding and such are greatly appreciated 1 Link to comment
BerettaRacer Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Storm was pretty much a non-event. Got in a good ride Monday and back before rain hit in afternoon. Drizzle and rain all night. Already clearing for a good afternoon ride on Tues. 6 2 Link to comment
