My mechanic, Ron Garcia and his wife Leah will be down Friday for the BBQ.  Ron used to have a Moto Guzzi dealership and repair shop, Ronco Cycles.  Ron knows these bikes (the older ones at least) extremely well and is an all-around great guy.  I'm guessing at least some of you guys know him.

Dinner at the Pavilion at 630, right Dusty?  Just making sure I roll into the right place at the right time, hoping to arrive Cedar Vale by mid to later afternoon Friday depending on how far I get Thursday evening out of town.

 Yes , dinner in the park . You do realize it is only 6 blocks from downtown to the park?

I do...but I didn't stop at the museum last time and just wanted to make sure it was the CV Museum not the one in Ark city or somewhere else.

Thanks chief!

Saturday night for sure...I suspect that's when we'll have the most folks around and Dusty can give his welcome speech to all attendees near and far!

We can try a Friday evening one as a test run once I arrive in CV...

Cheers!

 Won't be me giving the keynote speech this year , hoping Prescott makes it and we can employ his elegant oratory skills . If not it will be up to Paul . We will need to do a brief test run on Friday , some folks are leaving after dinner on Friday .

6:30AM now. Leaving in 15 minutes to meet Art, then on to breakfast. Just starting to drizzle here. Should be raining before we reach the Bob Evans in Medina. Hopefully, we'll ride out of it around Columbus, Oh. Lookin' good after that.

Man oh man, all this time and we're finally here!

Yeah, I worked for Ron back in the early '80s.  It's been about a year or so since I have seen him though.
