Anybody as excited as I am ? I'm ready to leave this popcorn stand behind for a few. It'll be a decent time-out for awhile. A little anxious I am. Are we there yet?

No work, no wife, no kids, I can't believe it's true. This is like waiting to turn 21. I don’t think it’s ever going to come.

Justed reserved my room

Hey blip, do you still have the 96 900?

Speed, I'm trying to sell my chevy so I can finish getting everything I need....like fucking gas money.......I can't wait to meet everyone and toss back some brews on friday night, saturday night, maybe even sunday but the brew will have to be non-beer, for the ride home.

Anxious, yeah I'd say I'm a little anxious.

We are almost there Man.

No, I sold it back in 05 to buy my 2K. I wrecked it once and had it rebuilt. I sold it right after I spent all kinds of money upgrading the suspension and brakes. It was loud to (D&D Pipes) Boy would that bike howl!

Old farts?

I only feel old when I'm not riding! I've slowed down some, but I got hit by a mini van back in 05 and I was one big bruise for several weeks. That will bring you down a notch or two in speed. :(

The Surgeon just called me and said nothing is torn. He said I am as lucky as can be as far as damage. He is going to use scopic surgery on June 6th and just clean out the shoulder and shave a little of the bone down to open up the socket a bit.
He said i will be out of the sling in 1 day and fully healed inside of 2-3 months. Then it will be time for the right shoulder. I might wait on the right depending on my threshold for pain until the end of November when the riding season is over. Between the cortisone shot I just got in my right shoulder and the pain pills I have in inventory i will have no problems riding up to the BTB at the end of this month! You can take that to the Bank!

Mr. Speedblastr,

I see your handiwork at Triumph Net. Very nice work, loading up all the BTB with new stuff. That oughta do it!

I am eagerly looking forward to the ride up and all the British Iron laying around once there. Campers: don't forget to book your site at Woodford.
