We are leaving Wednesday morning and most likely staying over in Harrisburg PA. Arriving Thursday. Willing to meet up for the second leg with other folks if interested.
Dave
Dave,

Wife and I live just a few miles south of Harrisburg. After she drops our son off at work we were planning on heading out, likely around 0700. Our plan calls for a flower sniffing ride down using mostly secondary roads with minimal slab. I do want to stop for 2 Tour of Honor locations on the way. You're welcome to tag along with us if this works for you. PM me if interested and I'll give you cell number and address if you need anything Wednesday night.
PM sent

 
Not going to happen, KJ. Boss Man would have agreed, Boss Lady says I should go, and Tim is willing to change the plan. However, I just joined a floor hockey league, and next Wednesday is only the second game. I committed to that, so I gotta follow through. Though after the first game last night, I don't know how many games it will take to actually kill me, but I think it might only be 2.
Well if you decide today or tomorrow it only took one game let us know

Jon; I understand buddy, I'm a sports nut myself. Let us know if things change.

Tim; RU a weds or thurs departer?

It depends if my wing-man decides if his ball hockey career is starting or ending

Not mine but I have a set. I bought them from an inmate. They are Wild Bill highway peg mount with Kuryakin extension elbow and large Kuryakin ISO pegs. I paid $120, he said they were about $200 new.
Are you sure about the mounting? All the photos I've seen of Will Bill Highway Peg Mounts puts the pegs at the trailing edge of the fairing and these pegs are mounted through slots in the fairing.
That's my bike. The original owner had Kuryakin stuff attached to custom machined engine mount bolts, placed where frame sliders normally go. They are quite high up, and I'm fairly sure the riders pegs scrape before highway pegs do, but then again they are normally folded up, when my standard riders pegs are scraping. The whole setup is only comfortable for short periods of time, but when "cough" slabbing they provide good and quick relief.

If you don't mind, I'd like to sit on your motor at EOM to see how they feel.

small bit o construction in the area as well.... c yaLL in 9 days!!!!!! (Mrs. m&m)
What is with all this cold weather? It won't be Fall until next Monday! Riding through the Virginia mountains with temperatures in the mid 40s the other night showed I made a packing mistake for this trip.

Hey is there anyone passing thru NJ on their way to EOM who could stop at my place and pickup some cold weather gear for me? I'm going to need it when I leave the flat lands of Jawjah.
The pool is still open. Cold?

Anyone want to meet up near Pittsburgh (east or south) on Thursday for the trip down?
I'll be meeting up with Tyler, in Sutton WV. After she picks up her ride, the plan is to ride up to Weston, to check out the Lunatic Asylum, then take 19 south to 4 to Rock Cave, and take 20 down to Charmco, and take 60 to Lewisburg.
Stop in and see my while at the Asylum, I am in room 139

Once you get to know me Joe.... I never forget the beer. EVER.

And Tim, don't let my plans affect yours. If leaving Wednesday makes sense for you, then go. I don't mind riding on my own.

Good! Don't forget to bring Smithwicks. I doubt we'll find it down in dem dare hills.

And since you are the official Beer-Man of our group, hanker-in some of those ABV 10.1 Pantius Droppus from Ellicottville Brewing Co.

Holy shazzitts!, 2 of them in little Debbie and I'm gett'n lucky!

Growlers work also. Don't let 'em break on the way down. :) ;) :)

KJ...the Pantius Droppus is 10.6 % abv...that stuff is GREAT!!!
My badd!

I even have a 4-pak sitting on my boat that I brought back from the last RTE. Yep, untouched ...still! ...it helps 'not' refrigerating it, keeps it around ;)

BTW, 4 paks are only $7.25 including tax & depo, but, to-go only. Yep, can't drink them at the Brewery anymore, too much %*!#@* content to be served in public anymore... via the NYS-ABS (Alcohol boards licensing; public-consumption laws).

Those babies pack some punch!... but, with really good flavor unlike most high powered brews.

I picked up a 1/6 keg of Rye Rambler from Rock Bottom Brewery last week. 10.3 ABV. But a mere 5.19 gallons?

 
Sooze and I will be heading down Thursday morning. I have no idea what route we'll take to get down there, but we'll see younsall in the hotel parking lot.
My simple math (aka KJ's corrupted route calculations).. you guys could easily side-bar to Hillbilly Hotdogs en-route. Pics on FB?

If you want to meet me and Joe in Sutton where I'll be picking up the rental bike and ride into Lewisburg with us, you're more than welcome.

Hmm... To get over there by 1:00 may be a bit of a push for us, but we'll definitely keep that in mind!
