    Yeah, show your credentials and I'll give you a quick ride (only me, CB and the WOF man have ridden it before) and we don't need no stinkin' flag (but a good idea).

    Get here you useless untravelled wannabe H-D rider!!!!!

    She will never sit on the bike for that long. She's new to bikes.

    Bad luck!

    Yeah, but use it eh?

    She'll get use to it - sheepskin rug, some uphostery foam, a bit of fortitude and if she is all for you she will be here!!

    Don't want to push her too hard to fast.

    Looks to be about $220 for the ferry, if I don't care what time I depart/arrive wich I don't, $25 for the rally fee, and figure maybe $200 (over estimating to be certain) for round trip fuel. $485, Round up to five hundred for food. Can do it if I really try but wont be certain I can afford it till end of december.


    :Edit: fucked up on the math

    Waylander, take it from me, it WILL be worth it buddy, make the effort, no kidding.

    Get down here and I'm sure we can help re accommodation etc. keep me informed.

    Get here and I WILL pay for a full tank of gas on your scoot.

    p.s. I AM really making an effort to get that weekend off- I'm just about moving the earth to do so, wish me well!!!!!

    Trust me I'll be trying. I miss doing long distance rides. Havn't been on one of decent size since my ride from Dallas to San Diego. Figure I put about $100 away from my next five checks I'll be good. But work cuts back on hours alot this time of year and I need to ake sure I can take care of my rent and food bills here before I put any money away. Also I wont be able to go the next two-three months without going to see Ms.Pillion.
