Tickets and time slot purchased!

No I just have to put a motorcycle together ......

Don't let a disassembled bike keep you from attending. I can bring a 2nd bike with me.



Fred

Thanks Fred!  I'll rely on that as my "no punk-out plan"!  But still need to get the BattleAxe back on the road!

Chris,
Hopefully you can get BattleAxe going in the next 3 weeks.
Casper is what I plan on riding if only needing one. If I end up bringing two.... the Honda will be added.

Let me update you after this weekend.  I think I've got everything rounded up I'll need ...

[fj1289]

Fred - I'm committed to getting BattleAxe completed!  Got the bottom end buttoned up - that was the long pole in the tent. 

Thanks!

Hopefully you have everything together and in running condition in the next couple of days.

On my end, Casper and the VFR800 are both ready to go.

Prepare for a wet ride this weekend! Forecast for the Colorado Springs area not looking great.

This time of the year localized showers and thunderstorms are expected daily. Mostly in the afternoons.
Here is a photo that I took while at the Mount Evans Summit last month. We rode down the mountain, over Squaw Pass into Evergreen, through Denver and into Kansas without seeing a drop the whole day.

We are down to a few days left before this Ride.

I'm going to suggest that our "Meetup" spot take place at the Gateway Booths where you pay your toll to ride up the mountain.
There are a couple parking areas on the left side of the road, just before you get to the Gateway.
There is also Vault-toilets there, and a gift-shop in that same place.

I am planning to arrive there at the Gateway at 10:00AM.............I should have a couple other riders along with me.

There is a Traffic-Light where you exit off of Hwy-24 onto the Pikes Peak Hwy.
Ride a short ways up the road - Following the signs up the hill.
You will pass the "North Pole" amusement-park on your left.
The Gateway Booths are just up the hill past that.

If this is OK with everyone, we'll make it so!
Remember to have your timed-reservation with you for 10:00AM

See everyone there!

That plan looks great too me. 

I am eagerly waiting for my departure Friday morning. All that is left is to hear from Chris on getting his FJ ready.

Fred - pack light! 

Although BattleAxe will be together - I'll be a no-show now.   One of the Air Force pilots injured his back - I've got to cover his Saturday ferry flight     More than just a little PO'd - especially since he was being stupid!

[Firehawk068]

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it Chris..............
Was hoping to meet up with you.

A local Motorcycle-Rider extended an invitation to his residence in Colorado Springs for a "Cookout", to anyone who may be sticking around after our riding or if anyone is staying in CO-Springs on Saturday night.
He is a good friend of Fred.
If anyone would like to take part Saturday evening, please let Fred know or post up on here that you'd like to attend.
