I feel a need to return to the Fatherland...whistle a little Dixie....ride some switchback roads....all in moderation of course.... :wink:
-
Is it May yet?? I need to ride.
Its supposed to be in the mid 40s here today. Think I'll go for a ride get the old Bandito warmed up good.

I am thinking of going the the BOSS 05 rally. Would appreciate company to help me see some new roads and meet new friends.
I'm considering leaving the Mississauga area ('burb of Toronto, Ontario Canada) on Thursday night and getting as far as Erie PA (top of I79).
Next morning heading south to the junction of 79 & 77 and meeting up with Ohio riders about noon. I hear they're not afraid of the cold and know some interesting back roads.
If the Ohio riders agree to that time/location, we can drive some back roads (instead of 77 straight over) to the campground. Let me know if another time/location is better.
Any Southern Ontario riders want to join me and meet in Mississauga, Buffalo or Erie? Share a motel in Erie - warning, I snore!!!!!
Any Ohio riders interested in helping a northerner discover some interesting roads south-east of 79/77?
Of course, all bets are off if the forecast for Buffalo is 7 ft of snow. (don't laugh, Toronto never gets that much but New York does - lake effect)

Man - my new rain gear just got here today! I'M READY! WOO HOO! If I just close my eyes real tight, will it be May???
Wayne - I'm not sure if Dan Lander has 'rediscovered' us since the board came back up but, I think he was trying to make the rally. He's from Erie. Ya might be able to hook up with him. Man, seeing a good Southern-Ontario Indian name like Mississauga makes me want to head north for a fishing trip, too!

Hey Pete, Hey Gary
No I havent disappeared. I just couldn't post on the last board for some reason. Just wanted to remind youto take plenty of pics at the rally! Wish I could be there, but I'll be at bike week in Myrtle Beach. (my daughters birthday) I guess someone needs to have a real bike there anyway. Nice to see the BBS back up and running!

I hope I can make it for a day or so, have a friend with a B12 also, he likes long rides, maybe he'll be able to come as well.

Hey Wayne, I'm still planning on going,and I'm in Erie,Pa. You can swing by my place. I know some ggod roads from here toward our destination we can take. Then meet up with the OH riders (if our timing is right).

I'm about to leave NW FL, going to Dallas, but plan to get back in time to head for the Meadows of Dan and Boss '05!! Gotta show you my "new" scoot as well as my great BanditWing. Hope we have a good turn out.

What did you buy, Laban?

If you recall I had a new Burgman 400 at last year's BOSS. I loved it but picked up a Burgman 650 last Saturday (Blue) and probably I'm going to replace both my 400 and Bandit with this one. My plan is to bring both to BOSS '05 and then go on up to DC to visit our son. Looking forward to getting the 650 in the mountains.

Sorry, didn't notice your reply until now.
See? You may get rid of the Bandit, but the urge for power ain't leaving!
(400 Burgman upgraded to a 650 Burg!)

Hi Laban!
I'm heading up tomorrow, should be there by mid afternoon.
There should be a few guys there later today.
-
I plan on heading out by about 8 am tomorrow morning. Should arrive at Willville by mid-afternoon. See ya'll then :banana:
-
The Hillbilly contigent is packed, rarin' and ready to head out early Thursday morning (I know, hard to believe--the early part); hope to be within range before nightfall.
Can't wait to see all the Banditos again! :banana:
-
Claudia, one question.
How can you tell the KY hillbillies from the VA hillbillies?
:stickpoke:
-
Pete,
Of course, you'll not see this until you return. I'd be happy to throw in some cash for another one of those hats!
No vacation from work until 3 months in...

No hats/patches this year.

Despite fog, rain, hail, and a "disabled leader" -- I had a good time -- even got a door prize or two!! Pete, as to Memorial Day get together -- I've really got to get back to the flatlands of FL (too much mountain time leads to nose bleeds!!) and Memorial Day sounds like a great time to STAY OFF the Ridge, the Dragon, and such! Right now I'm getting my kicks on I-95 in DC -- that's enough excitement for me. If some of you do go up that weekend -- keep the rubber side DOWN and the shiny side UP!!!

how do you tell the Ky. hillbillies from the Va. hillbillies?
..the Va. fambly trees don't fork. AT ALL. :shock:
