Friday arrival.

I've got a hitch assembly for early NA Miatas, and no more Miata to bolt it to. Danny, its yours if you want it, although logistics at this point in the game might make that a bit tough to make happen.

Hunt's Lodge had a cancellation on one of the cabins, so if anyone wants it, contact Lori at Hunt's Lodge and reserve it.

Stu, Thanks man.  My car's an NB but really appreciate the offer.  I got several options to get down there so don't worry about me, ya'll just be sure to show up.

Next week this time, we (Jeff, Blue & I) will be somewhere in GA hopefully camped. My horse show was cancelled so we can leave on Sunday to head that direction now. Bringing my 'house' with me this time.

Is the rally this weekend, September 13th through the 16th? Or the weekend of the 21st?

Just read a post from Dean on another thread. You guys have fun and maybe I'll see you next year.

I called the lumber yard on 165 yesterday in Tellico and asked for them to hold off burning their scrap lumber. I told them that even though the KOA was not ever going to open again didn't mean that our motorcycle group would not still come to TP. So that being said, we have until Tuesday morning to get lumber. I guess that means Jeff and Jack will be going to get wood for the bonfire.

We're at a KOA just north of Macon. Will be at Hunt's tomorrow afternoon between 1 and 2 o'clock. Supposed to be raining. Oh joy!

Once again, I'm grateful to all of you who are getting the rain out of the way for me.

I will be arriving Thursday evening at Hunt's with a coworker, Dave, who has a GTS1000 loaded into the back of an old Nissan pickup truck.  (The pickup is getting dropped off in north Georgia at his mom's Sunday night, and he's riding the GTS back to the office in Birmingham on Monday.)  I'm excited to be taking a decent ride with Dave, because so far it has all been "out for dinner after work" or "out for a ride during lunch."  

I am also excited because I plan to ride out east on Friday, past Asheville, to meet up with Andrew.  Assuming he leaves Raleigh not long after classes end at 3:20, he'll get to the Waffle House in Marion NC not long after 6:30,  He'll be riding west to meet up with us aboard the '98 EX500 he just bought.  From the photos, it looks way too clean for the money he paid.  Also, he scored a great deal on a Craigslist AGV helmet and an actual Aerostich that fits him.  (He's a pair of boots away from being ready for track days.  Well, a pair of boots and a pair of tires.)  I'm even more psyched for this rally than for most of them.  

Can't wait to see you all.

I'll be down sometime Thursday afternoon  My dyna ignition on Brutus has gone kaput on me.... thought it was the coils... replaced them and the plug wires.... runs great until it gets up to temp then starts missing  dammit that ignition has only been on the bike for 12 years!

So i'll be bringing the DRZ sm (and some dirt wheels in case we go dual sporting one day)

Kookaloo!

Hey Frank, just out of interest, where do you have the ignition module mounted/sitting?
Mine is in the tail section beside the tool roll stuffed into a stubby cooler and stays good and cool.

Hey Harvy,

I have it mounted in the stock ignitor location under the left side panel.  I even ran relays so my coils could have direct power.... still no joy..... looks like i'm in the market for a new ignition.

Kookaloo!

Hey Frank,
You might want to try something other than Dynacrap for your next ignition.  Just last week they confirmed that my ignition unit was bad.  I've been chasing this intermittent loss of 2 cylinders gremlin for almost 2 years.  Took a chance on sending the unit back to Dynacrap for testing and they said it was bad.

Then, they offered to "let" me purchase a "new" unit (I assume it's a repaired item) from them "for their cost."  For $123, this is their absolute last chance.  If I get another failure, it's all getting replaced with some cheap shit off the internet.  :-)

The ignition unit was installed 6 years ago, but I only managed less than 6kmiles on it in those years.  Hardly any miles in the last 2 years since it's been acting up.

If I was coming to the rally, I could bring you my spare unit.  :-(
