Deal's Gap 2014 June

[lopycam]

You all want to have a meet up ride at some point before we go? Couple of the rookies have expressed interest in doing so to make sure all bases are covered on what to bring and logistics.

I'd say wait a couple weeks until it's warm enough to do a ride, then we can meet up for a meal on the bikes.

I'd love to do a ride so I can meet everyone (well, everyone beyond Heath since I met him in a ditch on the Gap already .....). May I request a Sunday since I work on Saturdays?

My to do list is .....
1) Buy my tires and ship to Clayton's
2) Buy Clayton beer so he will change my tires and teach me how to put in the 90 degree valve stems
3) Buy a taser so if Chris tries to buy a McD's burritos he is effectively prevented from following through


Anybody interested in going in halfsies on the Sena bluetooth headset?

Things already done ...
1) Oil and filter change
2) 300 miles ridden last weekend

A wise investment. Bring the kid a roll of TP and a spade just in case.

How would this work? Are we going to share it or is it a two pack deal?

One big helmet. Two people. One Sena. Brilliant!

If you don't watch it I will make you room with Asa, by the end of the week a house full of men is gonna have a rapey vibe anyway, but if you room with him that ought to start mere minutes into the trip.

[TheIglu]

The only thing I know for certain is that Asa has disproportionately large balls compared to the rest of his junk. Usually I see KB's dangly-bits on this trip, perhaps Asa will be his replacement.

So anytime we're riding along and you see him shift in his seat a bit, ya, you'all are gunna be thinkin about what's going on down there. Nasty.

Since I'm not all that technical, I might have read this wrong, but it looks like you can get a dual pack for $270 off Amazon and be able to split up the components.

Heath, you will be surprised at the level my brain functions at. I can make people blush on a consistent basis!

Bubs posted a link to the even cheaper two pack available through a group buy on the ADVrider forum, you guys may want to look into that.

What was the cost on this? I might be interested. Somebody look into it because I am too lazy to do so......

I'd look into it if I knew the ADVrider forum. Maybe The Iglu will be a nice Iglu and post the link here for us! Come on, I'll buy you a White Castle slider ....

Feeling like Cards Against Humanity game will be a totally appropriate accessory to bring on this trip! There are a few blank answer cards so we could always add "Asa's disproportionately large balls" to our game!

[nhbubba]

Here's the post. It has a link in it. You click it. Then your browser shows you what advrider is.

I'm sorry in advance.

I have no idea if this is a good deal or not.. but I just saw this: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=573145

Seems worth a try. Tunes while riding.. I mean.. think about it.

I'm sure they will be out, card game or not. Nasty.

Note to self - bring blindfold to protect from retina trauma of seeing Asa's large balls

This would be a drastic error. If you can't see them, you won't know when they are about to touch you!

[TheIglu]

Mounted the new tires on the Wee. She turns like a sportbike now.

Not sure if my new helmet is louder or it was just the cold dense air being more noisy than much warmer air. I hope it was the latter.

May need to re-balance the back tire of the Wee. Took nearly 2 ounces to get balanced. That seems like a lot. Doesn't ride particularly smooth either, but I have no smooth roads to diagnose it on.

[TheIglu]

Looks like we have 6 weeks to go!

[epconde]

June 21st-28th.


Have room for 2 more people at this point.

Just in case you need ideas. Check out "Favorites" near the bottom of the page: http://www.newenglandriders.org/Grea...palachians.htm

Is it time to leave yet? I'm getting antsy for a week of riding and debauchery!

[TheIglu]

5 weeks from now, we'll be in Tennessee just about to cross over into NC right about now.

[TheIglu]

Unfortunately April has to bow out do to shitty circumstances.

So, at this point, it's 5 of us and we have an open spot. Anyone interested in joining in the debauchery?

[yummycheese]

sup, Im just waking up from my winter time slumber and checking out the forums.

Need a fun summer idea and this sounds cool. Always wanted to make it down to deals gap but never had the time or the resources to haul a bike down there.

Did you guys meet up for a local ride yet?

[TheIglu]

Not yet, I'm thinking the weekend after next. June 7-8th.

That work for you guys?

We can ride out to Curtis Ribs or something. Open to suggestions.

[Carbonzx10]

That works for me I'm not working that weekend.
