Well, now you have another reason to come back at least for a visit, Gunny.

HMMMMMMM, just might see me there!

OK I need meeting place location so I can finalize. I think my GF wants to go on a weekend trip that weekend so I probably cant go but I like to stay positive.

Inuashley · 06-12-2008, 05:24 PM

I might be able to go, more details like when(what time) and where exactly would be nice. ^^

I am going up to Ojai tomorrow to find a good place for us to meet.

How does noon, for a time, sound?

Those are looking like some mighty fine roads there Joe!

Hope you don't get behind some Be-eew-icks ... or Investment Banker Bikers.

Have a great time ... I'll be headed to Mid-Ohio Racetrack to watch the Big Boys race and talk to some GM Performance people.

Have fun in Ohio... I'm sure you will.
