Wesley is all set up to ride to Texas Friday, tomorrow, but I ain't yet.
I received small package today with some motorcycle part heff to it so thought it was Trixie's new rear drum bearing, so didn't open it till at home to dump out useless used up AAU parts. Called to tell Wes no bearing then he said he had one, so he'll come down the Mt for 16 mile loop to leave at my office where i'll make a 40 mile loop to retrive it and install and pack and pysche self up to attempt 9 hour days in the saddle, as first time ever i might be able to return on the same craft I lit out on. We can't travel at night w/o highly increased risk of deer strikes so red eye flight departure about 12 hours form now, will I make it?
The salt lake land speeders of Triumph fame are the cord energy of this Vintage club meet and the folks that sucked Jim Comstock into Norton perfection infection so its a yearly mecka he does. Blew my mind 1st time Wes PU trucked me there to see Jim in such an out of the way local rally that packs in about 300 attendee's and cycles from the leather belt straps to Rollie's actual ride and likes of Brian Slartk give lectures and answer esoteric inquires.
Temps will vary lower 40's leaving our Mt's to upper 80's in Texas plains. No tent just ground throw and sleep bag, warm under cloths, tool-tire kit some cash and our heaters should do it for 3 days tour through paradise to vintage heave and back.
