Did not read all the post but Bobbi and I are looking forward to it even if we have to drive, and we will help if needed.

Hate to say but you are just going to have to burn your house down, do not see any other way to make sure they are all gone.

Talking about surprised here I was tooling down 95 thinking about lunch and I see a blue Venture and I wonder if that is one of us and there was Earl, do not think he recognized me at first, it was nice to stop and chat. I had spent a month in Newport News for work and was finally on my way back, I have not ridden more than back and forth to work since Asheville hopefully docs will have it fixed by June for Maintenance day.

Thanks for filming these for us and thanks for figuring out the mount, I think my videos will be much more stable now. I have one more video to upload of us on the parkway between NC 80 and the Mt Mitchel overlook. I reduce the quality significantly when I upload them to YouTube to save upload time. I will put the originals on a DVD for you so you can see.

Ride up to Mt Mitchell from Randy's point of view. http://s760.photobucket.com/user/etcswjoe/library/Bike%20Rides/2016%20Asheville

We made it home, Jim and Ricky are home also. Was great seeing everyone.

Front brakes and new clutch.

A fellow Venture owner here in Charleston needs either some help or a recommendation for a reasonable/reputable mechanic. I am going to be in Va for the next few weeks so I can't help. Any suggestions?

We rode through that area coming back from MD, praying for all those affected.

I went to get it trimmed and my dear wife said not to take too much off wich surprised me, guess she like the mountain man look. I will tell you that it is starting to get irritating riding.

Glad you were able to finally get it apart hope it is not too painful putting back together.

Glad you were able to walk away!! Make sure you get yourself checked out things have a way of popping up later if you don't.

I think we found the one bad road and it's my GPS's fault, before we hit 16 my GPS sent us down this road that kept getting narrower and narrower then turned to gravel with a lake on one side and a hill on the other, it was not an easy task turning around.

Glad you are back on the road

Mine was 4,300 and some, average 2.3 post a day sounds about right.

Had a great time and thanks again for putting up with me another year.

Hope your burn heals fast.

Good to see y'all again and enjoyed every minute of it.

Great pics, my Dad grew up in that area, we jumped on 16 at the Top of WV Sunday I am not sure there is a straight spot on it before the NC line.

Many thanks to Don and his lovely bride for hosting us again this year !!!! I did learn an important lesson if you have your camera on your checklist make sure you have the SD listed also

Per person? I need to go to the bank before I leave.

Bobbi's Mom broke her wrist so she has to go care for her Dad while it heals. still planning on coming up but -1.

We will be leaving Blacksburg or Wytheville Va headed up that way Friday morning.

Updated my number of guest to two.
