My plans were derailed today with a carpal tunnel diagnosis. I'll be home eating 60th birthday cake with my left hand.

You wouldn't be the 1st guy to drive in in a cage. I've had to do it and I'm only 60 miles away! What better way to try and ignore the fact that it's really difficult to pull up your pants with one hand?

LMAO...... I was thinking about that exact thing! :thumb:

Not going to be there this year. Someone will have to pick up the slack in the "Quiet zone ". Right now I'm 7 time zones away. Had a nice time in Cesky Krumlov CZ. Even found a small motorcycle museum. Will try to get some photos up on photo bucket. Start a river cruise Sunday. Only seen 1 guzzi in 7 days so far.

We'll be sure to light a candle, or something anyway, in your honor... Have fun!

No pollen count in the forecast? I would be willing to bet that there will be plenty. How about gnats?
You know there will be good eats and cold beer.

Lets hear some reports. Mary called and said weather was great, food was great, and around 200 showed. I was out of commission. Getting old sux.. :rolleyes:
-
I was there Friday evening for supper. Food great as always, had a good showing. Planned on taking pics Saturday but never made it back.
-
The weekend was flat out super! The rally was splendid, as usual, plenty for all to drink! Nats where mid level bothersome, but some friends had a locally brewed nat away lotion, that smelled good, and works!
210 registered, food was very good, lots of laughs and innocent debachery, for those who like that sort of thing.
Did I mention it was a great weekend and rally?
-
Crap. I *hate* it that I missed it. Thanks, Chad.. :thumb:
-
We missed you too Chuck. Hope you can do something about getting old. :wink:
But we are all counting on seeing you in Iowa asap.
-
Sorry I missed it. We just couldn't seem to get our act together and make it down. Did manage to complete a few projects around the house, though. Good to hear about the great weather and decent turnout.
-
Post photos when you can! Thanks

Yeah.. me, too. :sad: :sad: We were packed and ready to go.. really looking forward to it. Woke up Friday morning, and I was dizzy and could hardly walk from my back being out. The only think I can think of is I put a new tire on the Lario a couple of days before.. it was easy as pie. Must have done something, though. Grumble grumble.
:gotpics:

My son was really looking forward to seeing your Lario, Chuck.
