Franc,
I'm looking at the flight schedule and I can arrive in STL in the early evening on Wednesday and fly back on Tuesday morning at 6AM or 8:20AM. If you are good with that schedule, I'll book my flight.

Oh, that just hurts right there....been there done that, but not by hitting a mirror. He did a pretty good roll....so I think he walked away just fine. The bike, not so much. Watch out for the novices down there...
This guy never was in a leaning position. He truely was a novice. Got to drag a knee on those turns if you want to go fast. So, if you see them upright, get out of their way...lol...

Just got back from the Dragon... 152 miles from my Condo here in Cumming and still took 3 hours to get home. I ran the Dragon twice and took a lady-friend with me, we went to that "Lookout Rock" thing about 10 miles west of the Dragon and looked out over 3 or more states. IT had rained all day, but cleared just as we got up there.
The views and visibility is really something with bare trees.
The dragon and 28 to Franklin were really like a ghost town. We had the road almost completely to ourselves.

OK looks like we get there Thursday nite and go home Monday morning.
Are we roomies or have I stirred up enough gossip already? If not, I'll book my room by Friday this week.

Over 20 cars?? This is way more than I expected. I have my room reserved, and will go in Monday and tell the boss to put on his calendar that I wont be in that Friday or Monday (new job, but I have three days coming already due to working extra on the road! )
Less than 3 months, everyone!
