Also, can you update my donation listing? It's "Adobe Lightroom" now but should be "Adobe Lightroom 4 for Macintosh". Not a big deal but don't want to make those Windows users sad...

thanks!
Fergus

Sorry for the late update Fergus. I am running behind on updates lately. You are in #146 on the list.

The same here Keith. It's updated. No food for you.

Handlebars and grips, skid plate and mirrors installed, seat is at the upholsterer getting cut down. New tires on Thursday.
I bought new handguards last month then bought fat bars to replace the bent ones so of course the hand guards don't fit. One more trip to the store.

Joel, you are welcome for keeping this on top of the heep!

bob you're doing fine; and you're servitude ends on sunday night.

i thought you want to go to the hot springs on friday....

lots of people will be happy to see you and what's on your truck bed...

i'm sure you can sell it for $9-10/gal and the PPs will still be happy.

Also, I am not sure whether someone will be at Hot Springs with gas. Stay tuned. For now, it is best to assume there will be to gas, and you must carry enough for a 250 mile loop.

any volunteer? hot college girls will be soaking at the springs....

that's another option!

i like the way you peeps take this event seriously....

Trying to keep up with this thread, but you guys are just too busy with planning and collecting even more loot. Seriously, that's gonna be a crazy raffle. Wish I could help out, but I'm riding in & I most definitely qualify as a noob! Happy to volunteer with cleanup though.

I plan on leaving this Friday & will most likely be in DV Mon-Thur. So who's gonna be around & wants to get in some pre-rally riding? I think at least one inmate will be there early (red05), anyone else?

[McKay]

Things are looking grim for me,
My Tiger is in the shop, my Husky has a sheared swingarm adjuster that my machinist is concerned about how he is going tackle drilling it out because of the depth of cavity (precisely why I didn't tackle it ).

I'm still coming! I may be bike-less (I friggin' hope not!) but able to tag along on the road support crews if needed.

I should be there Monday afternoon unless I decide to take the scenic route. Most likely doing an overnight ride someplace in DV before Thursday. I'll be at site #28 with the Bug sister. Stop by and say hi.

I don't know that I will physically be able to make it to the springs. Drive 30 miles hurts the shoulder and that is the 101. I don't want to volunteer and then not be able to make it out there and leave people high and dry.

I am planning on heading out mon or Tuesday, will camp I think until Wednesday when my buddy arrives. Is there a concern about getting a camp site for Monday to Wednesday ? I would also like to get in a couple recon rides, having never been there, with some others. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

From the ExPo board:


Have any frequencies been decided on for the AdvRider group?

I'll be there that weekend with a couple other guys on touring bikes and will also have my 2m radio, maybe APRS. Staying in Beatty, but I'll try to monitor those two simplex frequencies any chance I get while in the park and around PSR.

My call sign? N7ADV, of course.

Have a safe trip everyone...

[GSequoia]

Receiver frequency:

146.900 - offset
PL tone 123.0

This is a store-and-forward repeater, normally operates as simplex but I'm going duplex so you don't have to hear transmissions twice if you're close. Incoming transmissions are stored and then re-transmitted on full power when complete, as such a one second message takes a total of two seconds to get across the group.

I'll be in camp Wednesday if you want to program radios, if you don't know how to program your radio I suggest taking a cheat sheet with you so we can get you all hooked up.

If you happen to have a Yeasu VX-7R, FT-1900, or FT-8800 I can program the radio with my computer.
