Looks like a great ride-I'm going to try to be there  Anne

Pat I will just put the power window down on the new Victory if it gets to hot.

You should leave the window up and just turn on the air conditioner on that Victory. . .

A nice morning ride. Count on us going. Had a nice time with this ride the last time we went.
Has anyone called Neville? I don't have his # anymore.

Bear might wanna close the sunroof on his Victory...

I already talked to Neville and he is working on the Holiday for extra money.  See you all there. 

I am of course looking forward to the chocolate shake at the end of the ride too.

Don't think that Bear's power window on the Victory will work today!  It's already 85, steams up your glasses just to walk outside.  I guess I'm more of a fair weather rider-today is too hot!  Hope everybody can stay cool!  Anne

Who is going on this ride?  Is anyone going from the Crystal/Golden Valley direction?  I'm looking at how to get to the starting point and I'm not liking the route.  I still don't like freeways; especially alone.

[Jane Booen]

Well I made it to the starting point!  I was even early.  The route there wasn't without my own detours however.  This was my first ride with the 444!  It was great!  I really liked the route and the ice cream was exactly what was needed after getting so hot!  The last part of the ride I noticed a noise coming from the front of my bike.  It wasn't until I got home (which had it's own self inflicted detours) that I noticed my oil fill cap was loose and there was oil spewing out.  Glad I made it home though!  I"ll wait til it cools off and go tighten it and check the oil level.  If I didn't have to get to the starting point and get home, it would have been a most awesome day.  LOL

[RANGER & GW]

Jane you did awesome! Next time we will try to help not deal with detours, we live in Maple Grove and can help you find you way next time. From the back everyone did good. We had a couple of hiccups which I was one of them. Great ride, thank you for leading us Chappy!

Sounds like you all had a good time Was a little to hot for me today and my daughter was home for the day so I spent the day in a nice cool place. Don't forget to drink your water after the ride. Stay cool and see ya soon.

This was a good training ride for those of us going to Reno. We need to get use to riding in 100 plus heat.

Good ride.

Excellent ride.  Thanks Chappy.  A little warm, but we all survived. 

Hope to see you all at the meeting this Saturday at Tousley's.  Remember, group riding discussion.... only.
