Does this mean our monthly subscription costs are going up?

I wouldn't have noticed the extra text in the header if you wouldn't have mentioned it. I just assumed it was the latest in graphic design...

Depending on the start location, I should be able to make a 5:30 ride.

Apologies if this video has already circulated via another post, but after taking a few rides with this group, I think it sums up the DS/ADV community pretty well:

Happy Monday, all!

I noticed that Troy's birthday is the following day. Any suggestions for hauling a birthday cake on the back of a DRz? How do you know Troy's birthday? Honestly, it just showed up on my Google calendar when I went to add the TARKC meeting. It's probably a Google+ feature. I try not to think just ho...

Thanks for all the replies, gentlemen! Haven't started anything yet, but you guys have provided much needed insight and references into the task.

Anyone have a recommendation for valve shims? I'm considering an attempt at checking/adjusting my valves, so I figured I should have a set of shims handy in case an adjustment is needed.

I'm not much of a shutterbug, but here's a few shots I took during the trip:

Very close to perfect for the 3 days, Except for the last 30 minutes when Scott body surfed Fly Gap Road. I heard Scott was dazed, but OK. Scott, how you doing? I did not take a lot of photos, but I do have some and some good video to share. It can take me a bit of time to go through those and post...

Thanks Troy - /sarc on: If only I worked in the IT industry I would catch these subtle clues you put in your posts /sarc off

I'm paid up for the BBQ, and have packed my XL pants with the elastic waistband. Let's eat!!!

James and I would both be able to come down Thursday evening. But, we'd like to keep the lodging for Thursday capped at $50 per person. So, if Randy can negotiate a better rate, we're in for the Lodge. Otherwise, we may find a cheaper alternative for Thursday (but stay FRI/SAT with the group). Also ...

Count me "in" for the BBQ feast!

Any plans to reschedule tonight's meeting given the weather conditions?

May 2-4 works for me as well. I like the idea of the Lodge if we can get 10 commitments. Otherwise, any group cabin will work.

Couldn't make the Fall '13 trip, so I'm doing everything I can to make this work. I'd be interested in sharing a cabin.

This is the type of situation that convinces me I'll never take one of those "dream" rides across South America.

I'm not sure I'd be able to get back on a bike for a while if something like this were to happen.

I'll be there, but riding solo since Mrs. Scott_B is working this weekend.

I'll be listening for Randy to say "I think we're past the really tough stuff" as my cue to turn back and find an alternate route...

Troy - you can't be sick - you're our ride!

just kidding...hope your feeling better, and can make the trip. James and I won't be stranded if you can't.

Thanks for setting this up, Randy. Should be a great meeting.
