Date change to May 2-4

Mulberry informed me that a big wedding has booked all the cabins the weekend of April 25. Therefore, I've switched to the next weekend, May 2-4. They told me everything is full in April so May will probably fill up fast.

Re: 5th Annual Bald Eagle Ride January 17-20, 2014

Is it too early to start looking at weather forecasts? Based on the attached forecast, the 17th-20th is on the high side. http://www.weathertrends360.com/Graph/30day/ST3449 I was just at my in laws farm, near Hannibal, MO, and the gravel roads are still solid ice. It is going to take some warm days ...

Dec. 3 Fork Seal Replacement Demo

I was thinking that it sure would be nice to have a video of Scott's fork seal replacement demonstration. Does anybody have the equipment to do this? I don't think my Iphone would last that long and I know my arms would get tired. Bring your dinner to eat at 6:15 and we will start the demo around 6:...

Re: Chadwick 11/29 or 11/30

As much as I would like to go, it appears my in laws are staying in town until Saturday. They usually only stay for one night so I thought they would be leaving early Friday but this time they are staying at least two nights. Looks like you guys should have great weather.

Exhaust Repair

Thinking I had to spend $250 for a new exhaust pipe as a result of being bent, I heard about a guy that repairs dents and straightens pipes out of his garage.(part time) I just got mine back and it looks like new...wish I had taken a before picture. Saved me a lot of money as it cost $60 instead of ...

I didn't know it was possible at Chadwick to just seek the, "easy stuff"? From my experience the hard stuff seeks you!

I might be interested for either of those days. I tweaked my back a week ago but if it is better by then I would be interested.

Help on meeting rooms.

For the February 4th meeting, the plan is to have a, "best GPS practices", topic. I need your help in finding a meeting room in a restaurant. The downtown Peanut was suggested but they have an $85 rental fee. They also prefer groups that drink and party all night....do you think we qualify? I'm thin...

If you like, bring your own dinner and we will meet upstairs in Freedom's meeting room at 6:15. Around 7:00 we will go down to the Freedom service area for the full...

Re: 5th Annual Bald Eagle Ride January 17-20, 2014

Despite being the coldest I've ever been in my life during the last 3 hours of last years ride, (strong head wind with no windshield, dark, 25 degrees), I'm ready to go again. Have you ever noticed how many of us are eager to go when it is sunny and 68 degrees outside and the cold winter is still a ...

With all their supplier connections they are also willing to help us schedule interesting speakers. Possibly, the best solution will be to meet at Freedom when we have...

Re: November 5 TAR

Here are a few ideas.... 1. I like meeting for dinner, and talking about bikes. How about the Peanut Downtown? Is Weston too far north? We have the pub..... 2. If we could find a venue cheap enough, with the av equipment maybe we order some pizza and watch a movie. The BMW Club in Springfield would...

November 5 TAR

Lets plan on a November 5 get together. I'm running out of ideas of where to meet so post any suggestions. Also, any thoughts about speakers would be great. I'm thinking a lot of us could use a GPS refresher. Or, maybe we could have an evening where those of us who use a GPS could present what works...
