Departure time for Friday, Sept 5th?

[rusty]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has set a time for pulling out of KC on the 5th. I'm trying to "back plan" so I know when I need to leave St. Joe to meet with the 3 of you.

I was thinking I could ride down Thursday night if someone had any accommodations form to rest my head but we'll just leave that thought flying around out there in the ozone. That day (Thursday) has some significance for the family so they may not let me get away until Friday morning anyway.

Let me know if anyone has thrown out any plans as of yet.

See ya.

My thought was we'd meet a little early for a cup of Joe or whatever.

Sounds like I'll need to hit the road (from St. Joe) around 7:30 am. I don't believe it will take 1 1/2 hours to get to Winsteads but I don't want to arrive late again (I'm starting to get a complex).

I plan on being at Winsteads "ON TIME".

See ya.

On Time.......Huh?

I'm going to contact Ripley's Believe It Or Not for this one. We might even take pictures and give away prizes.

I got a note from Chibursguy in Chicago and he was hoping to do some business here on Thursday and then ride with us. That fell through, so he's got a Harley buddy who's going to ride with him to ES. They should be there Friday for dinner at the Forest Hill Restaurant.

Looks like I'm tagging along for this one. I will try to leave Lincoln @ 6:00 AM Friday. This should get me to Winstead's at 9:00, if I can find the place and don't get lost in KC (its happened before!). I've got my brand new gel filled sheepskin pad for my butt, and brand new bonafide genuine Triumph highway pegs and I'm anxious to try 'em out!!

 

[Pig9r]

We'll wait for you.

 

[Toystoretom]

This sounds like a plan, I'm open for anything. I guess I could meet up with Brian and we can scoot over to Winsteads?

 

[Pig9r]

That'll work. Maybe around 8:30?
