I'd trailer.

I wouldn't.

I wish! She's not into the motorcycling that much. Maybe rides 1 or 2 times a year... and that's mostly parade type stuff. She had never been on a bike before she met me. I'll get her into it though, just gonna take some time.

I know what AZ/NM weather will be like, but it's unknown to me what I might expect in Texas and Oklahoma. On the way to Antlers, I will be following I-20, through Abilene, and around the DFW area to Paris TX, then North to Antlers.

On the return trip I will leave Antlers and head to Oklahoma City, then take I-40 to Amarillo. From Amarillo, I'll grab US-60 W, which will take me all the way back to Mesa.

Will it be leather jacket weather that time of year? Leather chaps? (My definition of leather jacket weather is 80 degrees or below). Of course I'll have rain gear with me, as I do on any cross-country trek.

So, you folks that live in this area, please help a brother out.

I'm there TOO!!! My supervisor finally got tired of seeing my droopy eyes, and hearing my whining day in and day out, "Can I go? Can I go? Can I go?". It ain't never about what I can do for the company, it's what the company can do for me. Now I gotta hear HIM whimper from now "til October. That guy's always a step ahead of me.

Glad to hear you can make it Mike.
Look forward to seeing you again.
That is if I can get off work myself.

Man! By Guide! If you ain't there, I aint there either! Kidding, I know how things are this day and time. Sure hope y'all can make it. Mrs.Kawhead's has about a 50/50 chance of making it. My daughter has another semester to go, and Mrs. Kawhead has found out she don't really care for long rides. However, we'l see, we still got a few months!

Our anniversary is June 17th, and every year Laconia Bikeweek
includes that date. I have been to almost every rally since '73.
She is a great woman, from '93 until 2 years ago she had joined
me. This year I did not go to Laconia, we went for 2 weeks to Maine
for our 40th. I had a better time. She made me say that.

Shouldn't be a problem getting off work.
It won't throw a stick in their spokes if I miss a few days.

Hope your better half can make it.
