Well, I have an FCR on my DR...I'm not even sure which vent I would need to T. It doesn't look like there's an upper vent, but I didn't look that hard either. Thanks for the heads up :cheers:


Jax - hope things work out and you can make it :thumbup:

I was wondering if there was a back-up camping plan. I've been out in that area of WV a few times and had a hell of a time trying to find an open camping spot at the "first come, first serve" sites. I can only imagine that on a Saturday evening it's gonna be tough.

and Golden Snorkel Awards will be granted as appropriate... :harhar:
ok, so I have FI, but how deep is this water crossing? just wonderin'

She says there will be no problem for us with tents. I told her we would be showing up with 15-20 tents and she says she has plenty of tent space....also she says she has 2 bathhouses.

Well...about that...I just found out that I might be leaving for Hawaii tonight for work and staying until Saturday :shrug: If it turns out that I'm staying here, I'm definitely in. Otherwise I'll be looking into renting a bike out there. I know, poor me :boohoo:

Just took a shakedown ride. Anyone interested in a little last minute maintenance Thursday/Friday evening? I'll be in the garage tuning my suspension - could use an extra hand.

PM me for directions.
