I sure hate to post this<img src="images/smilies/gah.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Gah" class="inlineimg" /> I will not make it to TT2. My leg started bothering me more than normal while walking through the vender's at Thunder Beach this weekend.<br />
I went to the doc when I got back home. <br />
Complete knee replacement will be scheduled for some time next week.<br />
After my wreck last year, he told me my knee was also injured and would need surgery. I have been putting it off due to a busy schedule.<br />
I hope to be riding again in a few weeks. SORRY.<br />
One good thing about having surgery is the extra time to play on the computer<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" class="inlineimg" />

Good luck on the surgery ted

 

[bdn56]

Thanks Ted.

Bryan, I am so very disappointed you can't be there with us!!!!! <br />
But most important is your personal well-being, and fixing the cause of the pain is going to be a blessing! Keep us all posted. We'll be thinking of and praying for you to have a quick recovery.

C and I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. We know TT2 was important to you but your health always comes first. There will be more meets and greets to come and I'm sure everyone will agree that seeing you comfortable and pain free is more important.<br />
<br />
Here's to success and yes, do play on that computer and let us know how how great your Doc is.

</div>Oh! SO sorry, Bryan! We missed our meet-up at Thunder Beach, and now will miss meeting you at TTR2. <br />
<br />
Well, there's always next year, and certainly your health comes first. Keep us updated on your surgery!

For those including ME that can't ride the tail of the dragon here you go have fun

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. My surgeon told me today he can't do my knee replacement until the steal plate and all the screws are removed from my leg. He can't make two incisions that big in different directions at the same procedure? Does that make sense? After he explained the procedure, it made sense to me. Oh well, I'll do what he says, this time.<br />
I'll go back in December for the knee replacement. I'll get better some day<img src="images/smilies/frown.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Frown" class="inlineimg" /><br />
<br />
I'll talk to you all later. Bryan

Guys... is this still on?

I had a talk with Mother Nature but she doesn't like sarcasm soooo... Saturday is going to be a tough day she says and since Sunday is Mothers Day she may give us a short break.

Yes it is. You are looking at THIS weekend, but the rally/ride down there is next weekend (the 15th, 16th). Right now the forecast for Robbinsville is:

Saturday, May 16.....79 degrees, partly cloudy, 20% chance rain
Sunday, May 17.......80 degrees, sunny, 0% chance rain

I'm likin' it!!!!!!

Ain't ya happy I pissed her off for this weekend?

Got my dates messed up but I have scheduled a network rebuild for that weekend. Let me see if I can lie my way out of it.

Thanks Nana

 

[Nana]

I truly hope you and C can join us there, Dave. I'm really looking forward to meeting you! I have your cell # and will call you when we are on the way to find out if we will be meeting you guys .

 

[Mr.Wizard]

I may be a (no offense Wolf ) lone wolfy if I can swing the network change.. will just have to see how many others can change their plans so I can make it.


Anyone ever hear of Google Latitude?

Here are some links to it and a video. When we go riding this is how we know where our friends are if they get separated. If there is good phone reception on your GPS phone it can show you within 3 meters of where you actually are. It has nice privacy selections too so it can be turned off if you want to be incognito and turn it on when the next ride is planned.

It is free and my cell company has never charged me for GPS time on a few dozen PDA phones I use for my company nor any of my friends that use it. It works on any GPS enabled phone and you can also view your friends locations from a computer and even add an avatar so you can be recognized right away. Pretty much will find you anywhere in the world as long as you have cell coverage.

I leave mine on most of the time unless I run to Dunkin Doughnuts for a sneak snack.

 

[John Luciano]

Reminds me of a book I read in high school in 1964... what was the name of that ...??? well it was only off by 25 years

 

[Nana]

The final countdown has begun! :yay:

Mike & I have a good 7-hour ride down, so we will be pulling out early in the morning and will be ready to relax, share dinner with, and get personally acquainted with our TrikeTalk friends :yes:

Looking forward to meeting y'all on Friday afternoon in Asheville!
:woohoo:

 

[Ironhorsepilot]

Hope you all have a wonderful, uneventful, relaxing trip! Wish i were going.

 

[Gorilla]

And THEY ARE OFF be safe and enjoy Ted

 

[Nana]

Well guys, the weekend is upon us....at least almost upon us.... Close enough that we are heading out this afternoon to meet in Asheville tomorrow afternoon. :yes:

To those that can't be there with us (and there are a lot of you!): I trust you are also having a wonderful weekend with friends, envying our time time together, and smiling because you are staying dry!

To those that are meeting us: I can't wait to spend some time with you! and I trust that you also look forward to the fun, the ride, and that you brought your rain gear !

It appears that the question is not will we get some rain, it is how much we will get..... :gah:
Oh well, here's hoping the raindrops are interspersed with tons of sunshine!
To a great weekend together!!! :beerchug:
