Hey River,
That Camp Springs is pretty close in, what kind of $$ they get on room?
How mant times you been to Rolling Thunder?

For the Great Lebowski......since this is your 1st time, i recommend you not ride in the parade unless you carry an extra set of plugs.

this will also be my first, how does one prepare their bike for the long idle time? With our air-cooled engine, how do we keep it cool?

Seriously- are you guys talking about ear plugs or spark plugs? The ear plugs sound like a good idea. Do the spark plugs get fouled if you are idling for a long time?
