Lor' hep me!  I'm trying to figure a route.  Don- you gots no e-mail?  Mine is cursethedarkness@charter.net   It's cheaper than phones.

Just put 200 miles on today;  50 too many.  But holy cow- what roads. (Being from GA, though- probably nothing you haven't already seen...) Why the heck are you staying way up in Little Switzerland. ?!  Anyway, I guess I'll call Wed or Thurs. 

Think about how long you want to be on the road, if you need to eat lunch or not, etc.  I'm thinking 2 1/2 hours with me, and about an hour and a half getting back on the Parkway.  If you need / want luch- maybe we can work 12 Bones in and you can take some pictures for Poser.

Don't you get your Meals on Wheels delivery on fridays too?

Where is 12 Bones? There is a BBQ place called Hog Wild at the base of 226, but not sure if you are going over that far.

[UncleErnie]

12 Bones is kind of between Riverside Dr and West Asheville.  Kind of industrial there.  It would be easy to get to if we came down along the river (251)- but I don't know...

My next door neighbors can acrept my MOW.  I notice since I've gone to one meal a day, my Musketball seems to be faster.
Anyway- I figure I'll go up 221 to 226 to gdt to his motel because it's a lot faster than going up the parkway.  I figure he can do that by himself on the way back so he won't have to wait for me to catch up.  You know they race along at 45mph!

Actually- he'll be on the Parkway way over an hour, and I'm afraid my bike couldn't stand that kind of pounding.

Brs. BigDon, Blue and UncleErnie, it is with a heavy heart that I formally ask for a rain check... Jenny, our youngest daughter, is exhibiting her paintings this coming weekend... I sincerely hope I can join you the next time for what sounds like a great chance to meet some great people and go for a tremendous ride... very sorry, fellas... to compensate for my absence, I share with you the artist's work through the following link:

[UncleErnie]

Looks like it's just me and BigD.  Bernie said he has to exhibit his etchings to his secretary that day.  Too much information...
I think Earl is going to come on his 441 Victor, though, too. 

Rev Cruz, I want your daughter to send some pictures to http://www.miyagallery.com/index2.php  via e-mail
in care of Jennifer.   We would like to get better pictures to discuss her work before inviting her up to display her work.  It's only consignment... but we do sell good work, and I'm really sick of some of the junk we've had for a while. 
Don't tell anyone I work in a gallery.

Br. Ernie, I will be delighted to relay your message to my Jennifer.  On her behalf, I thank you for the offer... and, fear not, your secret is totally safe with me! 

[Blue Ridge Wheeltor]

Gallery??? I thought you worked in the Galley, in the correction facility, and they were letting you out for good behavior.

I won't tell anyone


I'll meet you guys on the road if it isn't predicting rain. maybe at Tracy's or between there and here. has anyone invited Fun2drum? he is in Marion, but may have to work, or prefer not to be seen with us.

[UncleErnie]

Yeah- he has his political career to think about now.  He probably won't even be seen on the motorcycle until after the election.  Too risky.

It's looking like rain, kids.  Ernie's a big WEENIE.

[BigDon]

The rain will be gone by Friday!

Ask me how I know.

Yeah, I guess Fun2drum could lose some votes by being seen with us.
I'm thinking of putting on the fairing and taking the Ural if it looks like rain.

[BigDon]

I am thinking positive thoughts!

I have not done near enough riding this year. So I am still planning to be there.

[Blue Ridge Wheeltor]

I understand Uncle Ernie is wrapping his home monitoring ankle bracelet in aluminum foil, and he should be able to get away for a while.

[BigDon]

I thought he put the foil on his head under his helmet! You know to keep the "voices" away!

[BigDon]

Well one of you two pissed off the weather gods, .......I guess it could have been me.

If Friday is a washout what about Sunday?

You guys available?

[UncleErnie]

I won't speak for Bernie, but I'm married.

I put bubble wrap in my helmet. 
I bet you think I'm kidding...
If I wear my half-helmet instead of a full-face, I'll show you.
The aluminium foil goes in my gloves because I have magic power control issues.

he he he... don't worry.  I'll act normal.
