:kumbaya: Count me in and I'll see ya at Point of Rocks.
I don't much care to ride in sticky slimy mud :wallbash: , but camping in the rain sounds like Paratrooper Hygene on a DS ride :ride:

I have green slime - a portable air compressor (motopump that works off the bike electrics - no hand pumping) patches - offroad tool kit with tire levers, and two old tubes (new ones didn't arrive yet - but there were in the bike when I got it - the stems have some rust - but are good and don't leak - should be enough to get someone home in a pinch....

On the soapbox front - I picked up a bmw tube patch kit that has glue and patches in it for 8 bucks.... They didn't have a tool or caps that allow you to pull out the valve so I went to a bike shop... Same exact kit - same manufuacturer - just no bmw logo was 4 bucks.. Props to the bike shop.. Guy took a old stem and put a tire cap on it with the notches in it to take the valve insert outta the tire for free if I got their patch kit...

Sorry dude- but I feel ya...

The good news is it looks like most of the rain is moving northeast and is in balt right now- it would mean slagging thru rain to get there the whole way.... We might get some sprinkles on the way to POR - but anyone in the balt area should get out of the wet stuff after passing mtairy

There is a 2ndary strom - that appears to be moving up i81 from knoxville to Bristol - that looks like it will hit harrisonburg about noon... So if we stay on track I should think we would be moving west of the storm as it hits WVa...

c you all at POR

Guys, I'm out. I hardly ever get sick, but I've been fighting a head cold and haven't gotten much sleep the past two nights. I was hoping it would be better this morning, but no dice.

Have fun and stay dry.
