Why is it parts are never in stock??? I have new exhuast clamps/bolts and gaskets on order. I was told they will be in Monday. Then I 'll be back in good shape with that.. I will take a looky at the light situation over the weekend, and possibly put on some after market flush mounts, and get rid of the intergrated set up.. If I can figure all the wiring out??? KB you any good with electrical/wiring??

I'm the fuckin best!!

Mike:

Looking forward to seeing you again.

The total including taxes is $825, less the $200 deposit, leaves $625 to
pay. Our normal rental would have been $1,045. We always give you all a
break.

The phone number at the TreeTops is 828-479-8370. You can arrive and unload
after 10 am Sunday morning which is check-out time for the group leaving.
The house should be cleaned by 2 or 3 pm.

Have a safe trip.

BTW.. The remaining cost per person not subtracting the deposits sent would be $111, for those that already gave me the depost of $50 only owes 61 bucks!

Isn't that nice!

House 4/week = $825, - Bruces $50 contribution for a 2 night 3 day stay leaves $775 by 7 people. How do yo ulike those #'s... Not too shabby, and everyone will have there own bed!

Any Questions?

Lockhart Phillips have some major good deals on RC51 airtech race bodywork right now (like 15% off dealer cost for me).

Let me know if you're interested for some trackday bodywork

**Half Squid** · 05-07-04, 08:18 AM

Nice to see you guys over a few

and get a few details worked out! Having a nice waitress with biggins was nice too!

Randy: FYI, we are all leaving Saturday morning and getting a room for the night in Bristol TN. Not sure which hotel/motel yet? Departing the Sunday to be arriving at Tree Tops for 10 AM and going for a local ride, probably down the Gap and Cherohala.

Food for the week will be the same as last year, kind of play it by ear.
KB is bringing all his tools and an air compressor along with tire changing tools.

Other than that everything is the same as always!

Should we all exchange Cell #'s viw PM ? I have Keiths, and Jamie's and will be exchanging with Clayton so we can communicate on the way down for the meet in Bristol plus in case anything happens on the way down we may be able to help one another out..

ONE WEEK !!!!

That waitress should have been wearing one of those shirts that said "I wish these were brains" cuz she'd be wiked smaht!!

the Trailer is done, and I am all set using by buddies truck. (A real truck! Chevy 2500HD EXT Cab) Shouldn't even feel the trailer behind us! Bike is good to ride but still have to repair the exhuast. Parts will be in on Monday Only thing missing is my left rear directional and left brake light.. I'll try to figure that out...

Oh I just remembered, Clayton recalled it being chilly at night last year and there were not enough extra blankets, so I suggest bringing something for yourself.. Oh and trunks if you want to use the hot tub.

Hows everyone else doing preping 4 the trip??

**lefty954** · 05-08-04, 11:45 PM

Have fun down there

The gas pumps are going to love us any way you look at it!!

Mike, I think I am totally prepped for the trip. I just cannot wait, this week at work is going to suck (it always gets busy before I go anywhere).

Jeff, great to hear about the hand. We can cause it more pain when we get back unless you aggravate it while tilting back some cocktails on your honeymoon!!!

I just finished putting new exhaust on the truck RandyO and I will be hauling in. Still needs a oil change before we leave.

My bike pretty much all set, but I'm still fussing w/ the carbs and plan on swapping the carbs out in the morning when do front brakes that finally came in (NOT even what I wanted

)

RandyO's bike just went into the shop today but work wont begin on that till tuesday...

Pretty syked up though

**RandyO** · 05-09-04, 08:36 PM

I'm nowhere near ready to go.. I have a lot of shit to take care of at work this week.. I am counting on my dealer to have my bike ready by Tuesday evening they have a lot of work to do on it.

Tires (front & rear)
Brakes ()new calipers & pads front & rear)
Chain & Sprockets
Fork Seals
Carb cleaning & Sync.
New throttle cables
New Clutch Cable

I know I am forgetting something else too, I stripped my radar detector, sigma speedo and klr handgards & mirrors off before I dropped my pogo stick off today, I will have to put all that stuff back on before Saturday and I have a couple of evening business meetings this week that I am not even prepared for yet.

**TheIglu** · 05-09-04, 09:10 PM

Went on the anniversary trip with the woman over this past weekend. Was up by Mt.Washington from friday till late today. This is gunna be a very busy week since I didn't get much of anything done tonight.

Still have to finish wiring the trailer, swap the trailer ball, oil change in the car and bike, bend the rails on the trailer to fit my large rear tire, pack, make chili, etc.

I should be all set by Tuesday night. Jon is comin up with his bike on Friday night to stay over and get the car ready (trailer and everything is gunna be ready come 5:00AM, just wake up and leave hopefully).

Watched that Deal's Gap DVD today. I CAN'T WAIT!

Saaaaaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Mike what do we need trunks in the hottub for?

I mounted the Pilot Sports that I got in last friday on saturday am. Put a few miles on them. NICE tires. They atay stuck alot more than the dunlops. Now I know why they call them Dunslops!! I usually stay with a tire that I know. That's mostly the reason I have been reluctant to try anything other. Jamie talked me into the Michelins. I like them alot so far.

I will be packed up by thursday night. I'll take a ride to where ever the trailer will be on friday night to drop of my shit and bike.

Jamie, Mike we'll have to figure the above meeting location. I think we figured Jamies?

I'm frikin pumped. It's going to nice all week. I'll be able to get some time in on my tires.

**Half Squid** · 05-10-04, 07:59 AM

I think the best place to meet would be Jamies first thing Saturday Morning. I will try to get there about 6:30 so we can load up or should I be there for 6? We want to leave by 7 right?

I have a few things left to due before we leave... I am going to try to get it done by Wednesday so I can relax. The one thing that must be done as long as I get my parts today or tomorrow is that exhuast...

NO TRUNKS = NO HOT TUB 4 U Beeaatch....

Alright, what happened to loading the shiattt up Friday night? Lets get it done so we can leave early AM Saturday. As for your exhaust, if you need some help I can do that tonight if your parts come in. Just let me know.

I am getting ready to call and book some rooms for Saturday night, how many do we want to get? Clayton, do you and Jon want one of your own or should we just grab floor space? Let me know what you boys want to do.

KB, great to hear about those tires, I can't wait to get my mounted up, I have heard nothing but great things about them.

I like the friday night idear too. Get the trailer over there with your explorer and let's hook it up.

**Half Squid** · 05-10-04, 11:35 AM

I dont remember talking about Friday night???

I wont have the truck till then. I'll see what I can work out if that is the best way. I think it may, so we are not rushing around Sat morning.

Thanks for the offer to help with the exhuast. I can handle it, shouldn't take very long, I just hope the parts are in today...

As far as the hotel goes, i would suggest we all sleep comfortably (no Floor space) Saturday night so we will be well rested to put some miles on the bikes Sunday!
