Yeah Stichill, I remember that soaker quite well. We three thought we were being so clever to stay behind, have another custard, and wait for the storms to peter out. Well, it turns out that two smaller squalls joined forces to create a wall of water between us and the hotel! At least I found out that I'd bought a good rainsuit. Also, first time that I'd ever heard Tornado Sirens going off! (Oh, and it turns out that the group that headed back early didn't get a drop of rain on them!)

In this case chicken strips, poppers and cheese sticks. All with white cheese though so you may not like it. [Image: feb57a2246ff6cf814322a9794ce4d34.png]

Sheetz is a Pennsylvania convenience store chain. Wawa has the Philly area, Sheetz has the rest of the state. I was surprised to see them in both Virginia and West Virginia.

Have fun and be safe.


The CB Mike. Originally was going to be the wing but then this happened.

Sheetz, eh? Hmm, wonder if it will be a take-over target by a Canadian convenience store chain?

Not many members say that - I don't think. Maybe just a couple.

However, for some riders it is a small frame.


BTW A-man: I think I like your forward foot pegs.

That would be Honda. Confused I know your question is tongue and cheek but I think riding a couple of thousand miles with that pile on the back would be a slightly compromised ride no? Not my idea of fun but if it suits you that is all that matters.

That looks exciting, maybe less so for the CB riders? Is that an Africa Twin? They must have been excited.
