Didn't get that PM from you. I don't get off work until 5, so doubt I can make it for dinner Friday. Have you set a time for the ride yet? If so, do y'all mind a 2 wheeler joining in?

 

[Big Dog]

Be at the Ramada 8:30 to 9:00 on Saturday morning.

Thanks, but no go. I took my bike in early today for a tire change, and the splines at the back tire are toast. Something felt a little funny back there the last ride or two. Guess I figured if I ignored it, it would go away :gah: Got that from my dad. When he heard a funny noise in the car, he fixed it by turning up the radio.
