we'll miss ya it's going to be a COOL ride I think for Friday H38 L22 but the hot coffee and friends makes it all good. after this ride I will be going to the CT as well, what brand are you going to run? with the 1500 hundred I would like to go with 175/75/16 just have not pick the brand yet ???. but you can keep the painting thing.
ride safe.

They're calling for sleet for us New Years Eve, and y'all don't chance it if it's even slightly dangerous. :)

On my last bike I had a SP5000 and it was a good tire. This time it's gonna be a 205/60-16 Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred.

[davidjones1]

thanks Goose this has been one I have been looking at, I think I have enough tread left to get me through the ride friday and then some so I will make this sometime jan-feb type deal I will do the mounting at buttar's place so maybe we can do a cook out work on the bikes thing see you friday.
ride safe.

We having a tire mounting party at Buttar's house? Sounds like that could be dangerous.

You all have a safe ride. I was going to say warm but that doesn't sound like it is going to happen.

don't know if this counts - yesterday was nothing but rain. So, I did my annual ride today. 108 miles, 42 degrees when I left. Just got back, now 47. Yeah I know, balmy by NC standards, but pretty chilly for us southern boys...

Didn't see any snow, penguins or polar bears but bunch of Sandhill cranes were out this morning - no bikers until now though. No I wasn't on a wing with electrics either.


Happy new year!

Jim

[Kawhead]

Yeah Jim it counts. I was in boot camp in FLA. in the winter of 1982 and I nearly froze to death. Y'all's winter is nothing compared to the mid-west winter, but there are a few days when that moist cold really dose a number to your bones! IMUO :-*

Met a couple of darksiders over there from MCDarksiders Forum (left) Smokin-Joe, & (right) Marine-MP


A picture of the mountains the Skyway goes across from RobbinsvilleN.C.
After we left Robbinsville we rode back over to MurphyN.C. where Marine-MP is from and then back on U.S.Hwy68 to TellicoPlains. Besides a couple of minor incidents and half freezing to death we had a good ride.
