[Awesome]

Have a fun safe trip. Sorry I couldn't make it this time but I'll be there next year.

[TheIglu]

Mostly packed. Need to pick up some oil and possibly an UglyStick tomorrow at Wal-Mart. Then, finish packing the Rex up in the trailer, load up the beer and we're off!

[Half Squid]

I'm 95% packed up, just a few odds and ends to finish, then hook up the trailer tie in my bike and gear and head to pick up Gumby, I mean Clay!

I am going to see if my buddy still has his large ass gas cans from when he used to jet ski. He used to have 3 or 4 huge jugs like the racers use at the track! This way we can stock up and be prepaired just in case, plus we can top off prior to departure every morning and save that ussual run into town...

Woohoo tomorrow!!! YES !!!!

[Half Squid]

I found the Ingles card! Now I'm Ready!

[Half Squid]

1/2 hour of actual work remaining, then our cookout, then I'm Wooohoooooo.

Oh, btw, the house does have a washer & Dryer!!! Along with all the other cool stuff!

[TheIglu]

FUCK.

I have to do a brake job on the left rear wheel of my woman's car this afternoon. Heading out of here early at 3:00 to get the parts.

Midas wanted $435 for REAR BRAKES. BLOW ME.

$20 for pads, $20 each for rotors at Autozone, in stock. So Mike, I should be able to get them done in time, but i'll be runnin around like crazy when you get here.

[TheIglu]

18 minutes! New rotor and pads went in on the driveway of my apartment in 18 minutes. With cost of torque wrench (that broke), breaker bar, pads and rotor, $75.

FUCK YOU MIDAS!!! I AM THE KING!!!!

18 damn minutes. For $435. HA! Those dueshbags let me see all the calipers, pads and rotors on their lift. Then, I said "No thanks!", took it home and did it myself.

Now I'm ready to roll bitches!!!!!

[Half Squid]

On my way Clayton...

Were outta here!!!! Wooooooohoooooooooooooo...

[Half Squid]

Were here! The house is fuckin awesome! The ride was long, but as always it will be worth the ride!! We drove straight though..
I can sleep real comfy and cozy in my truck! That thing rocks! subtracting our food stops it took us 17 hours and thas at 10-15 over 80% of the time.

No riding tonight we are spent and already started drinking !

[mycirus]

I am so jealous. So whats the fuel damage one way so far? 400???

Bruce

[Half Squid]

Without adding it to the exact $ I know it's right about $300 for an 1100 mile ride.

[TheIglu]

I added another 80 or so miles to the KLR's 280 miles while in my possetion. She's finally in the 5000 miles!

The thing has IRC 50/50 knobbies on it. I EMBARRASSED a sport-cruiser who was wringin the thing out on the Gap about an hour ago. In the dark. On knobbies. Without using the brakes. HA HA HA!!! These KLR's kick ASS!!!!

The new house is amazing. I have my own master bedroom with 2 double beds, HUGE walk in closet and full master bath.

Drinkin a Wachusett Country Ale right now from tap.....soooooo delicious......mmmm.....

Tomorrow:

Get new Pilot Powers mounted over at Wheelers in the morning.

Ride.

Be merry.

[Half Squid]

Ahh yes it's good to be back! This place is soooooooooooo awesome!!!!!

Only did 120 miles Starting at 2 PM but they were a sick ass 120 miles!!!! Clay had to get his tires mounted and it took three hours starting at the start of the day, So in the mean time I mounted and wired up my fog lights on the truck ( They suck ) The stock fog lights are brighter! Time for an upgrade.... But they look good..

Anyways.... Hit the Cherahala to rt 360 the to 441 to 72 over to 129 for a swim in Chillowee Lake then hit the Dragon (Rt-129) Slayed the dragon at an average speed of 50 which is actually fast! But I can do better later in the week!!!!

Picture... uhm, errrr ahhh it a few I forgot! I'll upload them tonight..

Later Beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatches enjoy working while we slay the sick ass roads and the Dragon all week fucking long!!! & Drink free fucking great Wachusett beek all week too!!!!! ( Thanks Again Clay! )

[TheIglu]

GOOD ridin today. Definitly broke in the new Pilot Powers on the Cherohala and the Dragon.

So crazy down here!

Steak for dinner, beer, satellite TV, Jager, Beer, more beer, now bed!!!!

I love it down here

[KB]

Wachusset beers and Jager after dinner in the hot tub ............................OUCH my head hurts this morning.

Well this place is awesome!!! I love it here. The roads are sweet every where you ride it's like heaven.

Getting a late start today due to over indulgance of some adult beverages last night. It's all good thoug it's a long weekend and yoday is a holiday so all the yahoo's will be out. Maybe we'll get a night ride through the gap!!!!

I ripped claytins KLR through the gap yesterday. That thing is fuckin awesome. Took a bit getting used to hanging a knee off of a dirtbike. Sliding the knobbies around the gap was interesting.


Lata,

I've been doing my best this weekend taking in New Englands best, Saturday I went to the track, Sunday I looped New Hamshire, zigging all the way up to Errol then to Pittsburg then south to whitefield, lunch at Grandma's then 116, 112, 118, and back roads the rest of the way home, just shy of 400, today I went to VT and did a loop, a bit over 400

What is traffic like ? comparable to the May trips?

Gas Situation? I paid $3.84 for regular at the Mobil in rochester, Vt and $3.09 at the Irving in Bow Jct. , NH the norm here seems to be $3.29-$3.39 I think I spent close to $100 in gas this weekend in my bike

[TheIglu]

Traffic actually isn't too bad. Less than in May now that I think about it. Did a night run on the Dragon tonight with KB on Jenn's 600RR, .5Octopus on his RC and me on the KiLeR. Fun as shit!!!! That KLR can haul ass!

Put a new chain on the Rex with Mike's help tonight after the ride.

Gas prices are usually around $3.15 with a few places doing $2.99. Most places limit your purchases to $20 per person.

Did Wayah road today. Went to a place to eat in Franklin that had insanely good pie. I had peach pie. Mike had chocolate cream pie. Jenn had butterscotch pie. KB had hair pie.

Having a VERY good time. The small group (4 people) makes for easy food (AWESOME steaks last night), fun drinkin (Jager and beer last night made for an interesting evening) and relaxing rides. We can rip when we want to and also cruise when we want without people expecting anything.

Tomorrow:

Eat a big KB made breakfast.

Shit it out.

Ride!!!!!!
