Any one heading t Romney WV next week the 17th and 18th for the demos? Think I'll hop on the old thumper and head north on the Blue Ridge Parkway and take another spin on the Tenere.

I wish I could, but that four letter word gets in the way, "work"!

Thanks! Trouble is I am almost 6 hours away. I ain't leaving C-bus at 3 am to be at Romney's at 9 so I would have to decide how lucky I felt if I got there round Noon. Well it is fun to fantasize, no?

It's good enough that I'm riding a KLR five hundred and thirty six mile to tide a second time ;)

Boogie down to Parkersburg, WV after work...3 hrs done. Camp @ North Bend State Park just off 50. Ride Rt 50 over to Romney the next morning...2nd 3 hours done.

After Grafton, Rt 50 ROCKS!! Let's see, a great ride in and demo your soon to be new love. How much more enticement can one man stand? >:D

AND you can camp with us at JR Lake Fri and/or Sat night and make your way home Sunday. Heck you will even have some company for part of the way as a fellow Ohioian will be on his way back to C'land.

Sound doable :question:

So it appears I was not the only creative soul who thought I'd beat the Saturday crowd and be there first thing Friday morning. Damn, I really thought I was smart with that one. Now it looks like there will be a pretty good line for the S10 at that time. I'm still planning to show up on Friday morning, but maybe not right when they open.

I'll be on the red Strom.

I'll be camped on the front step just to be first. God what's happened to me, I've become the Black Friday shopper that I've ridiculed in the past. Worse yet there isn't anything in the store to purchase at this point. :))

Only 90 minutes away for me. That's a lot better than the 5 hours I had to ride my wife's new Spyder to get it home a couple of weeks ago. Guess I'm willing to ride for the right deal. Glad the S10 was so close to home.

Dirt_Dad, see you there - silver '02 Vee with Happy Trails bags.

Way off-topic, how's the Spyder? I was aghast a couple of days ago when I saw a TV ad for it where they said "take your motorcycle test on it one day, be out cruising the next" (or something along those lines). Seems they are aiming at non-riders, or suggesting an easy way to get a motorcycle license without needing to know how to ride a motorcycle, or that it's not much different to a car. I don't know what, really. What do you think?
