Me too. It's real close for you. Not too bad for me. Only a week away so it would be a cage trip. But sounds interesting perhaps.

Didn't mean to exclude anyone, just made the last minute decision yesterday. Everyone & anyone is welcome. PM me if interested.

GTG, Get-to-gether. Workshop, bring what you want to work on, but at the end of the day; I'd appreciate if you took home what you brought :)

Jerry, sorry to hijack your thread

Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on
1981 CX500 good mid range tourer, went to Austria on it!
1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.
