He watched the "Life" photographer sweep up a bushel of beer bottles from the street, pile them around the bike, grab this dude, and set him on the bike (it wasn't even his bike) and took the picture.

HEADLINES!!! The bucolic countryside of the three state area will soon be shattered again as hordes of bikers descend on our hometowns As in years past wild drunkenness and general un-pleasantness is expected: Signs of the abundant alcohol usage are everywhere some believe that outside agitators, possible foreign nationals, are responsible for the mayhem and unruliness. Here we see one not only inciting the crowd, but also helping to keep their infernal two wheeled death machines going The surly crowds gathered everywhere, causing the locals to flee in terror!

Didn't talk with Ray or Melissa. As I remember they don't start answering the phone till some time in April and there is no e-mail. Expedia and a agent with broken English is all I could talk to.

Expedia shows no reservations because Ray and Melissa block off the entire motel for our weekend, so the service shows it full; they handle that week manually.

Richrd - It's always been a nell of a trip for you to make, from Omaha Nebraska all the way to Blowing Rock North Carolina, whether it be on the Norton or another bike or hauling bikes for someone in a truck. You making that trip has always been inspiring to me, whenever I'm thinking "Geez, I don't want to ride 300 miles to Rally X, maybe I'll just bag it", and I for one always enjoy seeing you there, and am forever grateful for the work you did getting me on board the Norton that I was always saying I wanted but never doing it. (I'll be riding it down there this year.) ON THE OTHER HAND, you've got nothing to prove to anyone - you've done it all, you've done it the hard way over and over again, and the TSMR has been all the better for your example and attendance over the years. So if it's just time to take a year off, then that's the way it is and if that's what your sanity (or what's left of it) requires, then do that. But if you can see your way clear to coming, I'll enjoy saying hello when I pull up into the BWI parking lot on Friday!!

OK, before Paul can get in and post a bunch of lies about me and my bike, I got four blo is from home, all down hill, when the Norton lost forward drive. It could have been an easy fix, but the question of why it happened was still there. One option was to trailer it and fix it at Windy's. Option 2 was the old appliance. But I let someone talk me into option 3. Ride the new old appliance. So I,m sorry, but no Norton for me this year, I can understand if no one wants to be seen with me.
