Nice n Easy Rider Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 96 hours from now I should be on my way. On the one hand, being only 3 hours away makes it easy to get there. On the other hand, also makes it too easy to put an extra day in at work. See you all on Tuesday. See you there George. We leave Sunday but we're doing Skyline Drive and the BRP on the way down so we'll get in Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday PM. Have a great ride down. Link to comment

TomK Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Leaving Sun for a mostly slabless three days to Blowing Rock. I don't know how up to date the registration page is but it looks like the New England contingent is Mike, Georgiana and myself. Where are you other guys? Link to comment
mikeR1100R Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yawn! Leaving in about 30 minutes. We are slabbing it for the most part today. Tomorrow a leisurely ride down Skyline drive. Gonna check pressures in our brand new tires, finish our coffee and be on our way. See you all in 3 days! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 it looks like the New England contingent is Mike, Georgiana and myself. Where are you other guys? Besides using up all of my vacation time, I've fallen and I can't get up! The Shenanigans at the RCR will have to do. Pat Link to comment
ltljohn Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Well after being off the bike since UN-X I am back in the saddle. Took a ride this morning and all is well, I need to get my butt back in riding shape though. See you all Wednesday. Link to comment

Bernie Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 It be great to see you guys again. NC is putting on a special show. Cutting all the grass and depositing it on the road ways, also making certain there is enough gravel and sand on the road to improve traction. Been trying to clean up the roads, but I think I need some help. LOL Link to comment

mikeR1100R Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hey TomK, Georgi and I would like to meet you at some point during this UN. We are staying the night in Hagerstown. I don't know how much if any of PA you might be going through, but those 17 year Cicadas are out now. Man, what a big, juicy bug that is! We were ducking and weaving because both of us got slammed and splatted to the point where we had to stop and clean the visors. We were hunkered down behind our windshields for a good while. When we stopped for our picnic lunch at Locust Lake State Park those bugs were making a constant howl that sounded like a hundred car alarms in the woods. Georgi got some good pictures of one of them. Skyline drive tomorrow! Link to comment
TomK Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I was in Va for the prior appearance of this brood. Your description is spot-on. I'll be doing a heavy dose of Pa on Mon. Thanks for the warning. Link to comment

Bud Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 just had breakfast at the Mountain House. Looks like supper as well! Looking forward to it. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Un Excited and very sad HYJACK: I'm sticking close to home and looking after my Dad. I am very sorry to miss being there in person. Looking forward to photos and stories of peeps, but as you know it's not nearly as good as BEING THERE. Link to comment
Nice n Easy Rider Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Kathy, Very sorry to hear that you won't be there. I hope that your dad is OK. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm really sorry to miss seeing and chatting with you George. Dad is holding his own, at 88, after a downturn in January. It's just that in the last few weeks he's gone from 1 nitro - 1 night a week to about 1 nitro - 3 nights a week. With a change like that I don't want to get very far from home. He doesn't want any roto rooter work, so we are in *keep the guy happy and comfy* mode. The fact that he's beat his buddies at poker for the past 3 Monday nights should tell me something, but I'm just not up for rolling dice. I seem to miss more outings than I get to, but I'm always there in my mind Link to comment
Nice n Easy Rider Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Totally understandable reason for staying near home. You might want to have your dad share his poker secrets with you - might be a good way to recoup your fuel costs on your next BMWST outing. Link to comment

tallman Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Kathy, We'll miss seeing you. Hope our Dad shows some improvement. Best wishes from Beth and I. Link to comment
tallman Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 We rode The Snake twicetoday. Was raining the first time for a good while so Beth insisted we do it again. Saw Bernie and Bob down in Shay Valley. They were going south and we were heading north. Can't wait 'til we see all the usual suspects... Link to comment
mikeR1100R Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We are here at the Meadowbrook now. Made it about 20 minutes ahead of the downpour. Rode the BRP today. I think we had it almost all to ourselves. I never saw so many BMW's on the road in one day in my life. Fabulous ride! Link to comment
