Bernie Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I like that change, I think it is a great way to remember Paul. Doing would he loved to do. Link to comment
Endobob Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've made a change to the logo for HeleN Back 2013 Thank you Ken - I love it! Paul will be missed by all of us. The logo/decal will become a collector's item. Might be nice to incorporate something like this for this year's UnRally as well. Heck we should simply dedicate this year's riding season to Paul.

SSTwin Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ken, that is a fabulous way to remember Paul. I go back almost 30 years with him and will be proud to remember him this way. See you soon. Link to comment
marty mayer Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Finally got my shocks back. Changed the brake fluid along with all the other fluids. Bike is back together. In for sure. See everyone next week. Marty Link to comment

Glenn Reed Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is anybody else losing productivity at work, planning the trip, looking at the weather, etc...? Link to comment
Nice n Easy Rider Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is anybody else losing productivity at work, planning the trip, looking at the weather, etc...? It would be totally unethical to spend my time doing that on my employer's dime! Isn't it great that you can refresh the weather forecasts every half hour or so? Link to comment
Bob Foley Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well the weatherman can't make up his mind.. Don't look at the forecast today!! Link to comment
randy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 remember this is Georgia, and April. If you do not like the current weather, ride 30 minutes in one direction or another and the weather is usually 100% different. Notice I did not say better, just different. :-) Link to comment

tallman Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The first El Paseo Rich Edwards and I sat watching weather before departing 500 miles to the mountains. Yes. No. Maybe. No. What the heck. It rained. It snowed. There was fog in the mountains, BRP closed in places w/snow. It was a blast. And, yes, the sun came out. The only "weather" to worry about is "whether" you're leaving early enough... Link to comment

Kinsley Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 It really is of no use to check weather this far in advance anyway, it will not be accurate. It will only add anxiety, so be prepared for it all, hot and cold as well as wet. By the way, in case anyone missed it, I have announced where we're going to FART in 2013 in this same Ride Planning section. Link to comment

It will only add anxiety, so be prepared for it all, hot and cold as well as wet. Every event we have in this area, we go through the "Chicken little" scenario and every time we have to calm peoples nerves and remind them that the weather in the Mountain areas is absolutely not predictable. I swear people post this to either raise conversation or get our goat. Either way, both have occurred. Link to comment
Selden Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Toubab Doc is sending me some of his Paul stickers; I'll set them out on a table; any leftovers will be carried forward to the UnRally in June. Link to comment
Bob Foley Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You guys are right. I will not look at or discuss the weather forecast anymore. It will no doubt change at least 3 more times! Link to comment
Nice n Easy Rider Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You guys are right. I will not look at or discuss the weather forecast anymore. It will no doubt change at least 3 more times every day until then! Corrected it for you. Link to comment
TyTass Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm so wishing we could be there next week. Unfortunately we have a funeral service we can't miss. Not going to get much riding in this spring because we're buying a house and moving in June. We're even questionable for the UnRally now. Sheesh! Well, we'll see. You guys have fun! Link to comment

I mean we are there in the middle of the week I know, the only closing you guys want to do is closing the bar! We're on track to close on the house 2 weeks before the UN. Our uncertainty is only due to not yet knowing what date the property management company will conduct the turnover of the house we are currently renting. Our lease runs through 6/30. If we can turn it over prior to the UN or perhaps 7/1, the we're on for the UN again. We'll know in the next couple of weeks, I hope. Anyway, you's guys all have fun in HeleN! Link to comment
