It is less than 2 months to the BOSS 05, thought I would start this thread. I'm planning on leaving Central Ohio area Thursday morning and riding down in one day to Willville. I'll be camping and I plan on leaving sometime Sunday. If anybody wants to ride down together let me know. :banana: :motorsmile: :banana: :beers:

Kevin (I think his new screen name is BanditBoy600) and I are trailering down from Eastern PA sometime on Thurs. We're camping as well. Also leaving some time on Sunday.
-
Nashville area on Friday, going back home sunday

I'm guessing I'll be there sometime Thursday, and probably leaving Monday.
-
I'll be getting there late tuesday , leaving early sunday . I'll be camping

As it stands now, I plan on arriving Wed. afternoon and leaving Sunday.

Myself and Mark Brantley are thinking about arriving Thursday night
or Friday mid-day. We'll have to see about that. We are camping and I may have to leave early Saturday.

Anybody from the Norfolk, VA area going? If I can get the time off work, I plan on riding up mid-day Friday, and staying in the area for a few days after the rally to ride the BRP. No camping for me unless the hotels are booked. Any women going that are looking to share a room?

It looks like I'll be in early, maybe weds, camping at Willville.
-
Pete, I should arrive sometime Wed. afternoon. See 'ya then :motorsmile:
-
Susie and I will be there Friday (hopefully) afternoon. I don’t know when we are leaving VA. Beach because Susie said we are leaving when she gets up. I’m pretty sure the cat will get her up by 8 if she’s not already up so we should be there by 5. If it were up to me we’d be on the road by 6. However, I would prefer a happy late start than a moody early start if you know what I mean.

we'll try to wait on you... :motorsmile:

Pete, I'm trying to figure out how I can get enough shit on my bike to camp wednesday. Don't know if I can do it, I'm also trying to find a hotel room fairly cheap as I won't have to bring as much stuff then. I saw you had posted somebody coming had gotten a room at the blue ridge motel, do you know what there rates are?
-
I've got a couple of extra tents, Josh. I'm bringing one Huge one, that has two separate sides.
I'll be using my 'medium' tent....
Mike K, (speedtriple) will be using one side of the big one.
I'm not sure the other side is claimed, yet. You're welcome to use the other side Weds night, If you can haul your sleeping bag.
I think the motel up the street is around $40 or so.
-
I won't be making this one. I was excited about the rally being held in Virginia and was looking forward to seeing everyone. I was planning on making this a 4000+ mile trip on mostly back roads in 9 or 10 days. I hope everyone has a good time. I will try to make the next one.
-
Pete, I will be there for sure. Got a decent bonus last night at work :banana: What time are the few that are rollin in wednesday planning on getting there?
-
I think Mike K. was gonna be there late WEDS afternoon.
I'll be there sometime mid-afternoon.......
Gary is showing up.....
Roamr?

we'll miss you, Dude!
See you next time!

Sorry, I am new to a lot of this but just what is the 'BOSS 05'? Where is this held? Thanks for any info.

:welcome: Stevie! New Ken, huh??? I grew up in W'moreland Co - Murrysville.

The 'Boss' rally is our annual rally, held somewhere in the southeast mountains.
(Boss stands for Bandit owners Southern Stampede, or something..)
We'll have 40-70 people, most bandit owners or 'exes', and get some partying and riding in.
It's coming up next weekend....May 13-15, and is at Willville Bike Camp, Meadows of Dan, VA.
That's kind of close to Wytheville, Galax, Hillsville, VA.........and hour and a half south of Roanoke....an hour east of Danville.
It's about 20 miles east of I-77 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
There's more info in the 'rally' forums....

Me and Brantley will be at Deals Gaps Tuesday night and then riding the area north of Asheville on Wednesday and spending Wednesday night in the Blowing Rock area. We will roll on over to Willville Thursday morning and we should be at the Campground mid afternoon. We're staying at the Tuggles Gap Motel at Hwy 8 and the BRP.

I'm not going to be able to make this rally. I've been working on getting the Bandit ready for the last month, new tires, used givi bags and I had a friend adjust the valves. When my friend adjusted the valves he stripped out one the bolt holes for one of the 8 large head bolts that hold done the valve cover. So, now the bandit has an oil leak and this is a problem that I'm not sure is going to be easy to fix. This Really Sucks. Hope to see you guys sometime.

Throw some hi temp silicone on it and let it ride. J/K :grin:
If it's possible to get to it at all you should be able to put a helicoil in there and you'll be good to go.

Banditnek - That is too ironic. I've been sweating the exact same thing for the last few days. :duh: This morning, I found a machinist to put a helicoil in (for a small fortune). I REALLY didn't think I would make it. I may not get much sleep between now and then (and my neighbors might not appreciate me synching my carbs in the middle of the night) but I will be there. Whew!
-
Kent, sorry you can't make it, but get your bike together for the Cal trip! :motorsmile:
Wow, we can really pick on the few Ohio guys, now!

I just had to create a muffler donut out of silicone, stupid me waits till now to check out an exhaust leak thats been there since I bought it. Pulled the can and there wasn't even any remains of a donut. It's too late to get one in before I leave for willville wednesday so i did what any redneck would do, made a couple thick beads of silicone, let it set up and slapped it together. Watch out if you end up behind me there may be flying silicone :duh:

BTW - I hope the bigger B's don't have the dreaded 7mm valve cover bolt. NO ONE carries the 7mm Heli Coil. I have the honor of paying an extra $30 to have one overnighted from the West coast!

Good luck, Rob!
When are you showing up with your bodyguard? :motorsmile:
-
Just call me Whitney!
Kev is headed here Wed night. We're going to get up early Thurs and head to the Meadows. We should be there early-afternoon, I would guess.
-
Cool, I'll see you then!

Kevin (Banditboy600) and I should be on the road in an hr. We should be there mid-afternoon. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Hate I missed you Rob, I had to left out somewhere between 2-3ish today, damn work.
Pete, gary, lynn (sloper10) brian (roamr), mike and the rest of the ohio boys, Lloyd and his brother, chuck, banditwing and wayne from ontario are all there. Guys I made it home in good time and only hit rain twice.
Everybody have a safe fun time up there! The area is awesome, there is something for everybody's riding style. :beers:
