Sorry Tim. I caught that after I posted and edited it. I must be a little dyslexic because of the fatigue. Four days of thrashing to get the 'Vert ready for this trip.

Everything smells like Z5 to me. Is that a problem?

Tim...there are several Harley shops here. Probly the one closest to where we'll be is the one in Grand Prairie:

I'm only going to be able to go as far as Springfield, then I have to turn back [Frown]

. We have to get ready for an Alaskan Cruise with my in-laws (the whole clan) the following week. Different kind of cruise but it should be fun, plus it's free since my father-in-law is paying for it. [Smile]

I'm leaving Amarillo at 11:00. Waiting on a young man from the Kansas F-Body Club who will be cruising to Arlington also. Should arrive about 6:00 at the Best Western near the Ball Park.

I'm going as far as St. Louis, then turning east for the Skyline Drive cruise.

Posted by fenton23 (Member # 878) on :

Very cool! The more the merrier. It'll also be great practice for caravaning (is that a really a word?) to Bowling Green. [Big Grin]

Posted by cytruffle (Member # 1733) on :

oh yeah.....great practice for you ROARING down entrance ramps, leaving approximately 2 inches betwixt me and numerous 18-wheelers......hahahahaha!!! [Eek!]

Posted by fenton23 (Member # 878) on :

There is a preventative measure for that 2 inches betwixt you and the 18 wheelers.....it's that right hand pedal. [Razz]
