Right now I'm good for the Oct 14th, Sunday 'coz I'm also off call at work.
The missus also gave me the blessing as long as there's no shenanigan activity and she'd like to see me home by the end of the day.:D

I would be good for Saturday, not Sunday, although I see your reasoning :)
EDIT-Sunday might be good too... whatever you decide... too many factors to commit :spank:

Because I screwed up my calendar, I need to revise my answer. I will not be able to make it Saturday, but if you end up delaying till Sunday..I am definitely in.

Would my wife on a virago 250 be allowed to come? It is slow......but we went through bear mountain a few months ago for our anniversary trip, I'm sure she'd like to ride through there again.

I actually rode the same route few weeks ago. I was also lucky to actually spot a Black bear within few feet.

Anyway, the curves on this route aren't really that bad. I think she should easily do them.

I also ordered heated grips.

But they won't come in on time. Boo!!!

That 50 mile ride back home is going to be chilly.

:eek::eek: WTF, are you okay?:eek::eek:
Was that your usual initial pre-trip test ride? I hope you had on full gear especially since it's been cold lately.
Keep us up to date and details when you're up to it. Heal up fast, the bike can always wait.

Forget the ride buddy...hope you are OK. Since there were no mention of injuries I am assuming you are in better shape than the bike.

Really sorry to hear, hope whatever you need to do to get you and the bike back together go smoothly.

Someone was selling the whole headlight setup about 2 weeks ago, I dont know if the S2 and S1 parts are the same or if he even sold it yet... but if so, its the heck of a lot cheaper than new.

Keep your (and her) chin up.
