Myself and I guy from Springfield at super 8

cool. beer, cigars and the pool. <socially distanced>

I hope I get a tire.

It's not a dry town?

40% chance of rain.

Not a dry town. Don't know if there is such a thing in Kansas. You are thinking of Arkansas they are two different places.

well then it sounds like the pool might make more sense than going to the bar. Especially if you want to social distance outside. But I'm not sure if those Norge saddlebags can haul enough beer & cigars?

oh well, I'd like to hear about it.

Is the pool and morning breakfast available? Most motels here have shut both down. Same when I stayed in Iola a few weeks ago.

Don't know about pool or break fast. Most places are still offering a grab it and go breakfast of some kind. I'm sure we can find outdoor seating of some kind

I bailed.

Got the sidecar ready to ride today. Went out to buy a new helmet, and visit a couple motorcycle dealers. I rode a measly 40 miles in the heat. Came home so exhausted I slept all afternoon. Too stinking hot for me.

I cancelled my reservation. See ya in the fall, hopefully. Have fun.

Anyone wanting to donate old license plates ?

Bring them along. I'll add to my license plate wall in the man cave.

LowRyter · « **Reply #41 on:** June 26, 2020, 12:30:18 PM »

Don't take this the wrong way but the virus is starting to spike.

Is this diner crowded on Saturday night? Is there room to stretch out or dine outside ?

Does anyone know if the pool is open at Super 8?

Even if I don't make the trip, others traveling might want this info. Thanks.

It's a small place, but shouldn't we too terribly crowded. There is also outside seating available, which is what we'll probably go for.

Gliderjohn · « **Reply #44 on:** June 26, 2020, 12:56:02 PM »

Also concerned about social distancing, etc. Other concern is that we are forecasted to get late night storms here. If we get significant rain I may not be able to ride out due to living three miles off pavement. Will see.

Anyone that may have a motorcycle disadvantage (wind, rain, hail, gloom of night) is cordially invited to drive an automobile. Even if you don't own a motorcycle. No one cares.

I may be driving a brown Ford F150. -or- riding a Harley.

On another subject, here's the current condition of the license plate wall. As all ya'all can see, it's mostly empty. It needs all the help that it can get. Please give !!!

Exactly this. My two friends who are visiting for the weekend will most likely be following me down in their car.

If we dine al fresco, would that make it a NUT-NIC?

Just got off of the phone with the gals down at the Nut Hut. The outdoor area has two full sized picnic tables, and we have that whole area reserved for 6 pm on Saturday.

Sorry to say that Slicer and I can't make it. I went to the eye doctor today and they wanted to know if I'd been doing any traveling. I said I went to my girlfriends, we drank a bottle of wine then we took a trip around the world. Now I need to go back Tuesday and can't travel out of state in the meantime. The Doc said for me to get some sleep and not drink so much and maybe the redness in my eyes would go away. I'm looking for a doc that will give me some respect.

Y'all enjoy a cigar and I'll be thinking about y'all.

Sorry all, not going to make it. To much iffiness for me. Those that make it, enjoy! However be careful out there.

Sorry to hear that Turnip and Glider. We'll be sure to make a toast to you.

Well, we're @ 275 so far miles and stopped in Pittsburgh Kansas for lunch at the Del Rio Cafe.

Nice little run. It was good to see some Guzzi faces.
The Nut Hut charged me 11 bucks for the cheeseburger that was was only 5.89 on the menu, I didn't question it, since it was about a foot tall.

Then I visited for a while in St Paul with the nice policeman there who gave me a little note about doing 46 in a 35mph zone, or something like that...

That gave me an opportunity to switch my spark plugs from one side to the other since the SP was running poorly. The St Paul cop offered to help me do it and I enlightened him on the joys of Moto Guzzis. Right plug was wet and black and the head was much cooler than the left head. Left plug was perfect. Ran like a champ the last 60 miles. I ran through a berserk pack of raccoons in the middle of the highway after it got dark and don't know how i missed them. I was looking for deer and tucked in behind a car and followed slowly on in after that.

Forgot to say that Shorty donated these fine license plates !

Thanks Shorty !!!
