So for the guys that are heading up 27, once you hit 27 & 70 at Lake Placid, do you all want to take the straight shot across 70 to Soloman's or do want a little back roads riding. I've got a nice stretch of twisties and a nice lake ride if we want to take the long way.

ok....so who am I gonna meet and where and what time? I don't know the area too well (hardly any) so keep that in mind....lol
seems like I kinda got something started....sounds like its gonna be a good time
I would probably have someone call Solomons to let them know about us coming so thay can have a heads up...thats what we do here in the derby city in case they can't accomodate a large group at once.
we have decided to trailer the bike down for this trip and dropping the truck and trailer off in Venice. not sure why I'm telling that but i did....lol

I agree and have brought this up once already, I will be happy to call them tomorrow if we can get a head count together.
On another note they only take cash, no Credit cards accepted and its about 20 miles to the nearest ATM, So please bring Cash for lunch.

Yeah Mike I think the back roads should still get us there on time. I'll map it out tomorrow and check the time.

I dont know how bad this is or how long it will take to repair, was heading out to Home Depot after dinner, backed the bike outta the garage, put it in 1st gear, and the main drive belt snapped. Took me a bit to figure out why I wasn't moving. Anyone have any experience with this, first time for me. How expensive it this going to be? Fortunately I use an indy and he will always take me right in. Let you know more tomorrow 
Here are the basic steps from the 08 touring manual.
Remove the rear wheel and rear fork.
Remove the primary chain, chain adjuster, and entire clutch assembly.
Remove the chaincase housing.
Now remove the belt.
If I get home early enough on Friday to change the oil, I should be able to make the ride Saturday. Fingers crossed...
