Usually a great time held at this annual event. Camping at 15.00 per night, or get private cabins. From there you can ride outstanding roads and the weather is usually really comfortable around this time of year. Hope to see you there.

Damn! I wish I could have made it. This neck injury has me all but paralysed on the right arm and shoulder. C5 level. I slammed myself pretty good on trip to NC in mid Aug. and am pretty debilitated as it stands right now. Trying to get it sorted. i mashed myself pretty good earlier on an AR trip in June on the DR and the so called "experts", think I screwed myself up then. Delayed response is what they figure.
Here I've got this great bike and all i can do is start it up in the garage at the present time. NC is my favorite riding/camping country. Only 3K miles on the beast.
I wanted to run up and help Madstad with the testing of their new windshield bracket, too.
Wish I could have been there. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to ride anymore, which is incredibly depressing, just thinking about.
All I can do is hit the Somas, vicodins and oxycontins and wash them down with booze. Stupid shit, I know, but it kills the pain. I don't know what the f**k I'm going to do. I've done a great job of scaring my wife to death by passing out in the garage due to mixing the dope and booze. I feel like shit about it.
Sorry about the highjack, but here I sit at 3 am, popped another one and finishing a bottle of Canadian Club. I've always kept my personal challenges and problems to myself and worked through them on my own, over the years.
This one strikes at my heart and only dedicated fellow riders that love riding can understand this.
Good on you all! I'm looking at "Gertie", right now, knowing that she needs to run! That's what she's made to do.
