VTirelli Posted April 23, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 23, 2008 Nope........we'll be coming from 'the East'. Leaving Thursday PM, trying to get past the silly atuff in NY and staying somewhere along 80 in Pa. Not sure where yet, we'll stop when we feel like it. Should be at the Oberlin Inn early Fri PM. Finally got the 05 out of the shed (it was blocked in by construction stuff) gonna start pulling it apart for cleaning and oil change. Late start to the season with all the work being done around here. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted April 24, 2008 Share #17 Posted April 24, 2008 Eck, if nobody from around here wants to hookup, I'm going over on Friday also from Indy and would like to get with you guys if I know where you'll be Friday morning. I could even ride down to Cinci and hookup with you around there. Don't want to ride alone, even though Navigator will be with me, our first long trip, you know.
