If it were not for my BACK issue... I would be riding a hell of a lot more. I will officially have been fighting this problem for 2 1/2 years now.

I'll still take him on in the corners of the mountains though... We'll see who can throw a 900 lb bike around! I won't even discount him for riding one-up while I ride two-up with a bad-back!

Oh yeah... don't be surprised if I show-up with a different bike. Thinking of adding to the small collection.

Not a done-deal yet... but getting close to being serious...

it's a secret...

Lincoln... not yet... but not to worry -- even if I have to get a different hotel. Just a few details to iron-out yet...

You can't keep secrets when you make posts in other threads like this on.

Now that doesn't mean anything Tim... I just simply made a statement on that thread that it appeared a short-person was able to ride the XCT.

OK Greg, if you show up at the National with a Victory you pay for my finale dinner and if you show with any other brand, I will pay for your finale dinner, deal

I would say you used to do "shell-games" along the board-walk...

Your "deal" boxes me in; and ultimately reveals (at least in part) what my choice might be -- thus I cannot engage you with an answer to your offer.

Clever man TC... clever man...

Oh... by the way... you said you were not going to the national. Do you know something no one else does?

TC does have 13 Colorado with a thumbs up now

Guess I missed that.

That means I have to negotiate with him...

The "national" has traditionally been every two-years.

On the off-year, we have had a "regional-rally" of sorts.

No details on the regional yet, but I know Ray and Jay are working on it...

Just made our Super 8 Lincoln NE reservation after talking with Gibby this afternoon.

**biscuitsngravy** · 03-17-2013, 10:32 PM

If all goes well with my new sidecar, I will probably leave early and stop in Grand Island, NE to visit my grandsons. But I'll stay in contact with Ray's Crew and try to meet up and ride with you all into Estes Park at the same time. BnG
