Reservations made

The room rates have not increased, but the charge for pets has skyrocketed. We will not be bringing the dogs this year.

Water levels are down again.

The water has receded and the road to Tybee Island is once again passable. It should be a great time to visit Savannah and Tybee.

Beer lovers?

John Barry is bringing two new beers to Tybee. This is going to be fun for all of us craft beer lovers.

New tires

My new tires arrived; just in time to mount them for the trip. Looks like a great time to travel to Tybee Island.

 

[JDOCKERY132445]

Mounted and balanced

I usually mount my own tires, but not this time. I recently bought a salvaged bike that had been through 6 owners without being touched by anyone. That means that all bolts are seized, tires are old and hard and busted knuckles are the order of the day.

I decided to mount my new tires on the rims from the salvage bike because the rims were practically new. The old tires were so hard and stiff that I had to take them to someone with a motorcycle specific Coates machine. Even with the machine, Keith had trouble getting the old tires off.

Heading out Thursday and spending the night in Bluffton, SC before motoring on to Tybee Friday.

See you on the road.

No "registration" needed

All that's required is $25 for Saturday's Low Country Boil. If you don't eat, nothing is required.
Friday about 6pm we gather at StingRay's bar and restaurant next to the Dunes Inn. Don't be bashful, walk around and introduce yourself and talk about motorcycles.
Saturday mid morning Rich Heritage will lead a ride and a stop for lunch.
Around 5 - 6 pm we gather at the old school cafeteria behind City Hall on Butler for the Boil.
Come on out, and bring friends and family.

It was indeed. Thanks to Jerry, the other Jerry, Amber and the other likely suspects the meetin', greetin' and eatin' were all excellent.

Of course, given that the weather was perfect, the one bike I have that my wife can ride on as a passenger had a last minute technical problem and we had to drive the truck.

I had a great time as usual, but ate too much.

 

[JDOCKERY132445]

Too much

I ate too much and Barbie drank too much. Pretty normal situation. Lucky for her we transported my dead motorcycle home in a Penske truck and she slept most of the way.

Of course we bought food for the usual number. Folks who lived close left with zip lock bags full of terrific food.
