      Come on there, gbw, lighten up on the retired guy! You know it takes a lot of planning, figuring out what BBQ joint to hit first while at one of these rally's! LOL

      When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!

        Leave time had to be approved as my wife's and my anniversary is June 12. 55 years this marriage has survived because I always play by the rules. Ha ha.

                  She will be working. That's so I can afford to be gone whenever the occasional rally comes along.

                        Man, you guys can be hard on retired guys. I think I might have to start looking for full time employment.

                        edit: it's also her vacation away from me if you can imagine that.

                          You could always sign on with one of the motorcycle touring magazines as a long-term tester.

                            Thanks for the offer of bikes guys, much appreciated. I suspect if I can make it then it will be a last minute deal as normal, things are a bit up in the air for me work wise right now. I promise to keep you posted

                              I'll ask but doubt she'd be interested. Maybe she'll surprise me.

                                If she wants to go for a ride, but would like a little more stability, I'm sure that Mrs. Steve would be willing to take her out on her Spyder.
