    I will stew in jealously as I walk into work each day that week and Clayton isn't at his desk because he's out riding and I'm not! Don't be surprised if I've sabotaged your office Clay!

    Which one of us got the entire summer to spend riding at the beach?

    Wasn't me, that's for sure!

    Very much looking forward to this!

    Valid point Clay, valid point! You definitely deserve your break and will enjoy it! But I'll still be jealous because I really want to drive the Dragon now! Already counting down to my Deals Gap 2014 trip, is that pathetic?

    Bubs, want to ride the Strom down at some point so we can get the chocks installed in the right locations on the trailer?

    I have them, just need to know where to bolt them down.

    I really hate to do this, but I'm not seeing myself being able to make this trip. Already took the time off and really want to go, but money is super tight right now, and i can't afford it.

    Just imagine 2x of what you have.. basically.

    I can ride out your way sometime. What do you have in mind? Some Saturday? Or an evening after work. You are way the hell out there, that much I know. But I hate working and usually leave here early in the day.

    This week/weekend is no good. But next is better.


    'Strom needs some attention before September. @ 25k, I am thinking of throwing a new chain at it just because. The old one doesn't bind much, but is starting to get loud. I suspect if I were to take it off the bike I'd find it binding more than I think. And really, I am not sure I trust it.

    And I should definitely leaver on a new front tire before then. I think I have 12-13k on this one?!? Can't remember.. bad sign. Fortunately I already have the tire to go on.

    Rear may be marginal. 5k on it and it's already showing decent wear. (Fuck me I am rough on tires!) I should probably head down there with good rubber front AND back.

    Thing also needs a helluva cleaning. I impaled a small bird using my clutch lever on 95 on my way back from Bar Harbor last weekend. One in a million shot, very bad for poor tweety bird. So I now have bird guts down the side of the fairing, the left knee of my suit, and the left side case. Not to mention ~500 miles of Maine bugs on the windshield.

    I have a chain rivet tool and a tire changer at my house....

    No rush, I'm free indefinitely.

    Re: Deals Gap 2013

    You guys think we should bring down a little bit of homebrew? Just starting to plan now, I could throw a few growlers into a cooler for the trip down.

    Any preference on style of beer? Making a Hefewiezen right now, can make that, IPA's, stouts, porters, ales, etc etc

    Chris,

    What kind of truck do you have? How does it do on gas?

    If it is just three of us, we may be able to save a bunch of $$$ by all taking one vehicle. I know we all can't fit in my Tacoma, but if you have a full size with a trailer hitch, we can take my trailer (holds 3 bikes) with your truck and split the gas 3 ways.

    I have an extended cab silverado with a hitch. I estimate gas round trip to be around $400.

    Clayton's favorite is the brown. He's down with the brown!

    Let's talk, that may work out very well for the 3 of us.

    We should meet up at Slater's Pizza on thursday night to bang out some details.
