Hi jm,
Well, both right now. I just got my vacation time OK'd today. The plan so far is to fly out to South Carolina and drive my buddies GS 1100 . From there, an easy 2 days. ride to Somerset.
As soon as I hear of others riding from Ca., I'll put you in touch.

Might want to add it to the calendar. You can click the link at the top of the page. You only have to put the info on 1 day, let's say July 1st and it will show on the home page during the month of July. I'd do it for you but I don't know what you call the meet. I hope I can make it there. I'm sure it will be a great time.

OK CPKID will keep you posted. No new news yet.
Heavy weather out your way I see.
Interesting bikes in the shed, many friends had 70 and 71
XS -650s in the day and I put quite a few miles on them before I bought my first GT-750.
Look forward to meeting you there.
Tim

Tuesday our planning committee
is trying to coordinate a dinner cruise up to the junction of the Three Rivers and back.
Wednesday, we are planning to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright house on the waterfall "Falling Water". That tour will take up most of the afternoon. It is a highly scenic ride over there and back.
Thursday we intend to ride over to Cumberland Maryland, again, another very scenic ride.
Fridays we usually have a group farewell breakfast and say
our good-byes and taking our memories with us for a lifetime.
This is the latest news I have as of this Date.

I hope to meet many of you there.
If you can't get away for the full week try to get there
in the afternoon to get a room as we sometimes leave early and are out all day on a ride.
Let me know you're interested and I will find someone with a cell phone for contact. You can always leave a message with the Inn owner and I will follow up.
Tim Johnston Happy Riding.

Here is a note from a good friend, I'm relaying this to all RE5 forum members, Jeff and CPKID, perhaps you might like to ride out together with John.
Hi Annette, Don, and members at large...
A little update from the Iowa member(s)--
I've made my hotel arrangements at Days Inn for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. On Wednesday I am riding over to Philadelphia (area) to meet and spend the night with a friend from my aircraft builders' forum. It will be interesting to see how road construction affects that, but anyway I will miss whatever festivities are planned for Wednesday and Thursday morning, if any.
Note to CPKID, maybe you could ride back home with John when he travels to the Philadelphia area
Sadly, Mark cannot attend this year. Target is calling all hands on deck for the 4th of July holiday and he couldn't get the time off. He and I will travel to Minnesota for the annual Quad State gathering of the Heartland/Sundae Riders club later this summer, if we can both get the time off. Meanwhile his Honda (CX500) is running well -- no bump starts needed!
I would like to consider hooking up with anyone who is traveling in the same direction / at the same time as me (leaving Davenport area Saturday morning and spending Saturday night in Toledo). And if anyone is coming from the West, (Tim/Marie, Dana? Anyone else out that way, or taking the long way?)
Last year my riding vacation was cut short by a work emergency, so I'm really looking forward to this trip, and anxious to see you all!
John

Not looking good for me this year also. Work has exploded, and we are short handed right now. I have not been able to put as much time into my bike projects as I would like to, that hurts too. Take lots of pictures to share.

Marie and I had a great time with some of our closest friends and I put on over 1300 miles on my friends bike. Hope to get a pic or two out of my camera later on.
We are discussing next year, possibly Niagara or North Dakota.

It does not look wet in the pics, could not have been bad enough to hurt the turnout. Too bad it is so far, would have been fun to have some RE5s there. Glad you had a good time.
