OK Byes.... time to herd the cats again
I had a van rented that can hold 2 bikes, but am not bringing one now. Anyone willing to meet me and share the ride expenses, let me know. Otherwise I fly out instead of driving. Days are flexible, I have the van reserved from the 15th until the 22nd

Steve,
Ian, Walms and I were planning on leaving Thursday morning from Ian's like last year. only problem is we have room for 2 of 3 bikes. I'm on your way to Ian's just over the border if you want to pick me up and then carry on to Ians? Kills 2 birds with 1 stone

I believe Steve can't pull a trailer with his rental though, we ran into this issue last year.

I was looking for someone to share the cost of driving out and back. Van is 350 bucks alone, figured another 200 for fuel based on last trip with a 1/2 ton If that wont work for any of you guys along the way, I will just fly out instead.

As I was telling you off line, we planned to rent a 1/2 ton and pull a trailer with 3 bikes or if only 2 bikes likely my car could pull that trailer. I suggested to you to rent a sub compact and leave it at Ian's for the weekend and ride down with us to keep your costs down.

I suggested to you to rent a sub compact and leave it at Ian's for the weekend and ride down with us to keep your costs down. Price difference is so nominal it is not worth my making a new reservation for a smaller vehicle. Sub compact would be 40 bucks less than the one I have reserved now. And, for the record, I did misspeak. It is a small 1/2 ton, not a van. The van had been what I was renting for Mid Ohio. I get confused easily enough.....

Well I am heading out to Detroit mid week like I pretty much do every summer.I stay with a long time friend that bought the Mint S3 400 last summer when I visited him.We were both planning to go to RB'S this year together.He has osteoporosis and recently had back surgery.So he can't ride a bike any more if ever ? I might stay in the Detroit area and hang with him. I wouldn't feel right bailing on visiting with him.But we will see how things are when we get there if he can go ? I was looking forward to going and meeting up with a lot of folks I don't know.If we don't make it.I hope Y'all have a great time.Going to bring my helmet along anyway.

Have fun boys. In Duluth now but heading home through the Soo. 18000 km on the clock for this trip so far. 6 weeks on the road. The FJR is an awesome touring machine, highly recommended.
