I'll be there. I may have to ditch to get to a gig in Southside by 4, but looking forward to twisting with friends.

You too, bzn by. Bring your radios!

Can we do a parade around the dealership? Maybe have a nice group circle the roundabout 5 or ten times?

Only if we can honk our horns obnoxiously each time we pass the showroom door

PurplePeopleEater is out of town for the weekend and I am considering stealing her CVT Cooper and seeing what I can do in the twisties on Sunday. We've never really given the poor Cooper a chance. . . .

I hope Jerry wins the battle of the weathermen because 87 is H-O-T

Meant to wash the MINI's today. Discovered that my lifetime guaranteed hose had only a 2 year lifespan. It burst in 3 places at once!

So I went to Costco to return it and replaced it with a brand new one (gotta LOVE Costco).

So I'll have to wash the MINI's tomorrow before heading out for the drive.

See you all there. . . .

Oh do bring the Purple Haze, my BEP would love it. I can't wait to meet more of the gang!

BTW, Can I ride Caboose being my first time? I'd feel better bringing up the rear until I get the hang of it. I washed Maxfield today and sealed him in the garage. But by the time I get there tomorrow he'll have bug guts all over the windshield I'm sure.

See yall then!

Darn it! My mom is coming up to Birmingham today to see doctors at Brookwood after having complications with surgery. I'll have to miss the run to see my parents when they get here.

Sigh. . . .

Good time today everyone. I'll upload the pics I took in the next day or so, but the memory is a great one.

WOW! That was a blast! Can't wait til the next ride. It was great to get to put the faces and names together. Even though I had to encounter the Angry Biker, the ride was wonderful experience. Just wish it had lasted longer.
Til next time
BP~
