Who knew when I snapped this picture that it would get so much mileage?! (Actually, who knew I would live after taking that picture as Mitch and Ron look like they aren't so pleased by the flash!)

 

Shawn, what number is this for the BRR? Is this technically BRR VI?

Just made my reservations with Heather, and I am looking forward to my first BMWST event.

Someone did tell Glenn that the new guy buys the first round, right? :grin:

This was mentioned in the earlier thread about my becoming member number 20,000. I answered that this was fine with me, and invited everyone to my house that evening for free beer.

 

Nobody showed up, so now I don't know what to think.

Since you made the offer I guess you're off the hook. :) Looking forward to meeting you in Maggie Valley.

We might have a small problem here, as I went to NC State, and I see in your details that you live in Chapel Hill. (Back then, we used to be rivals...)

...maybe...

 

Hey! That's my line. :grin: Considering I have it on good authority from a UF alum that Bama/Gator tickets will likely be in the four to six hundred dollar range each.

 

We'll see.

I just got back from the orthopedist, who said I am cleared to ride. All the bones in my right foot have healed properly, and now it's a matter of exercising my foot muscles and stretching tendons in order to work toward a normal gait. Just for the heck of it, I slipped a riding boot on; it's still a little tight, but wearable.

 

Since it's been hellaciously hot in Georgia all summer, I am not motivated to ride in this weather, and I am sticking with my plan to throw a leg over a saddle on September 4. Barring unforeseen difficulties, I think I'll be in shape to ride to Maggie Valley at the beginning of October.

Aside from being rusty and paranoid about hurting myself, I'll probably be riding with my wife as pillion, so I expect to be staying in the slow lane. I damned sure won't be trying to keep up with Chris Kinney. :)

Selden, with as little as I have been riding this year, there is a good chance I will be asking if I can ride sweep just so I don't over do it. :eek::dopeslap:

Comparatively OK. On the bad foot just wearing a rigid soled sneaker. Walking, mostly without a cane, driving. Next doctor's visit/X-ray check in a week. We'll see. Hope to ride soon. /hijack

I'm currently working it out to be IN! So you might have to re-phrase that part about "good folks." :grin:

Result of one of the side-trips at last fall's BRR:

 

I only have a few more years to wait! :(

 

Dear Ambassador,

 

You will be happy to know that your barrel has now settled into one of our

warehouses. It will rest comfortably for several years at the top of the

warehouse, where all new barrels start, until it is rotated down to a lower,

cooler floor. Here it will stay for another several years. This rotation

is a very important part of the bourbon-making process. To learn more

about your barrel, click here

http://www.makersmark.com/Embassy/Warehouse/

 

I will continue to send you updates on how your barrel is doing as it ages.

Be patient, I promise it is worth the wait.

 

Sincerely,

 

Bill Samuels, Jr

President & Ambassador-At-Large

Yea....Matt told me you were having a problem with it.... He said you had spark and fuel...Will it try and turn over? I believe that age bike has carbs..right?....If trys to turn over but won't start...the carb/carb maybe full of crap and may need a good cleaning this new fuel is terrible on older bikes...Timing maybe out of adjustment...I am not real familiar with the Gold Wing...to much bike for me...

:grin:

 

You have a beauty there though.... :thumbsup:
