Looking forward to meeting you after all these years. Hope you have a safe ride down with Asphalt. Any word on Frank/Pepper?? Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

I will be happy if I can get the motor in without killing the damn paint. THEN I have to make sure it runs right with the new carbs and pipes...I will be taking it out for a 4-5 hour ride before I head down south with it jsut to make sure everything is working right...everything should be good...took the time to get everything right even down to new points and condensers and will be adjusting the valves and all of that before hand...I want it to run as good as it will look...no point if it just sits there and looks good and you cant ride it. Im really looking forward to riding the piss out of this thing all the way to the whcm. cant wait to meet all of you. I think I have only met about 4 people from here and Ive been on this site for almost 8 years. oh...and thanks for the compliments.

You'll meet or exceed your qouta for sure at the Roost. Don't worry, the veterans will help you keep it together from sensory overload. So many names, So many faces, how will I ever keep everything straight in my mind ???? Just keep asking those that you do know, ( sort of ), what's his name, and him, and her, oh him too... Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

Asheville is an hour or 2 past the whcm and probably 4 hours past Wise, VA. Which one of you are leading? LOL I'm just curious because he told me he'll meet us in Wise in the morning....which is really cool, because we can just keep snowballing all the way to the Roost, it would be great for us all to roll into Roy's at the same time....and I know the way, but you guys are coming from the northeast, right? Which means stopping in Wise is going to take you out of the way. Isn't it? Where exactly are you guys coming from? I'll check it out on the map. HCCMF Local 6978 Roadkill
