Reservation made, used my AARP discount, and did it online, in .

Did the same thing to. Getting older does have it's privileges.

Chris, when are you leaving for Ohio trip, and any interest in me meeting you near your place to continue on?

Right now, the plan is for both of us to take off that Friday and worm our way over. We're definitely open to the idea of the usual eastern PA suspects heading in our direction and continuing on with us.

ok, sounds good, will be in touch as we get closer to date!

Putting a hurtin' on my tires tomorrow to ensure that I need new ones for ESTN (day ride beyond Seneca Rocks, SHR, etc). Tire management isn't always a chore.

In! Reservations made. While I've been doing a lot of riding, I haven't been riding with any of you for awhile.

Looking forward to the ride over with the Cablebandits et al.

Simmer down now, boys! There will be enough cookies to go around. I'm actually thinking about experimenting with a PB&J cookie. Poor Cablebandit is going to have to be the taste-tester. He's got it rough, believe me.

Coming down with my buddy Ed. He has a really nice Bandit 1200, but, he got himself an old Concours and he's bringing that down instead. Putting tires on it for him tonight (hottest day of the year natch).

Oh, I know where this road is

Got my 950 running great again (bad carb diaphgrams). Can't wait for this. In fact, I might go on a pre-ESTO long weekend sortie to WV-VA-OH this weekend!

I like the steak at the Marietta brew pub. The pizza sucks. The steak is awesome.

The food at the Mexican place in the mall beside the Bob Evans is good to.

Bungie walks up to the cashier to pay for his Mexican feast and beer...

Cashier just glares at me.

The beer is pretty tasty too. Nice thing about the brewery is they have a lot of guest taps and bottles if you don't care for their flavors.

Never apologize for being Canadian....We know you are all a bit nuts.
