"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Be safe everyone!!

Brad

Safe Journey

I want to wish all the KawaNOW brothers and sisters, going to, and who have left for Maggie Valley,
a safe and fun trip.
To say I'm disappointed about my change of plans and not being able to attend,
is a huge understatement. I'm certain Todd and Amy have a great time lined up for all of you. And if Custer and the 1st Nat'l rally is any indication, you'll all have a great time. I'll be thinking of all the good times and great people I'll be missing. Take care and don't scratch the demo's.
my best regards to everyone.

At the risk of being repetitive, I too wish everyone attending the Rally a safe trip. Circumstances forced me to cancel, but I'll be with you in spirit! Tip a cool one for me!

Oh, and Trip said he'd buy everyone a round in my honor! ::)

Thanks for the good wishes guys. We will raise a glass at the Tiki bar to those who were not able to attend. To those who are, I would like to join BD, CJ and Rickyboy in wishing you a safe trip.
See you in Maggie Valley.

Best advice is be prepared for hot weather riding. The heat and humidity have not cut me any slack since leaving Arizona. Presently in Harrison, AR for a day of relaxation before heading east again tomorrow. Doesn't look like it will cool down until Maggie Valley. Be safe everyone and drink plenty of water.

Yes be safe and watchful at all times. The weather here in the south and even in the Smokies is very hot. It has been 90 or above for 12 straight days with no relief in sight. Be sure and stay hydrated. That doesn't mean to drink a lot of beer, you know what happens to that. But, do have a nice cold one for me.

Tammy and I will miss seeing you guys (BD, CJ, Daryl) and the rest of the western clan that can't make the trip. We leave on Friday.

We will see you all again some time soon.

It would be great to connect with you and Tammy again Ron. One of these days I'm sure I'll find my way back to FL for work. Until then, have fun and be safe!
