I'll see what me schedule's like.  Looks like a great opportunity for some helmet-less riding on the LT. 

Yeehaw....

If I come I'll be camping. I want to check out my new camping gear.

Best time of the year to ride - lots o' daylight.

[mystic red]

I hope my parts get here in time. Max is usually right on it. I was thinking I only had one weekend between now and then but there's two! If I get my parts before the 18th I'll make it.
By the way, Duck, johnny's hats in the mail.

[frankenduck]

What about Rattlesnake Grade?

What about Rattlesnake Grade?

I'm not going to Orygon.
Reread Max's email and I should be golden.

[johnny]

there will be no rattlesnake for us saturday or sunday because wallowa mtn rd 39 is washed out... doesnt sound like it will be open anytime soon...

butts you folks that dont have to work friday or monday can run it out from clarkston friday or monday...

[bosozoku]

I'll see you guys sometime late Friday in Idahoe... should be an entertaining weekend.  ;D

[mikeinwis]

Hi Johnny,
I'm thinking of heading out there if I may.  Not certain but have high school buddy flying helicopters in Couer d'Alene I've wanted to get out to see for several years.  This looks like a good fit.
Certainly split cost on a room--if someone can put up with alleged snoring.
Plotting now, will take a few days to confirm...
Mike

[johnny]

Earplugs are mandatory.

Also, if anyone is not familiar with the lay of the land, Lewiston ID altitude is about 700 feet above sea level. It can be warm. Stanley is at 6200, could snow. Just sayin'. ;D

Earplugs are mandatory.

That's the good part about riding - you've always got some. ;)

[mikeinwis]

Mike

Shoot, I was looking forward to having someone to ride up to C D' A with, sure you can't show?

[Turkus]

I'll see you guys sometime late Friday in Idahoe... should be an entertaining weekend.  ;D

"Entertaining" is probably the understatement of the year..... ::)

Hey FD....did you think any more about getting up at the crack of dawn to roll with me ??  :o

[frankenduck]

Hey FD....did you think any more about getting up at the crack of dawn to roll with me ??  :o

I don't understand why you think you have to leave at 5:30.  Google Maps tells me it's about 5 1/2 hours to get from Seattle to Clarkston.  I'd say leaving here at 8:00am would give you plenty of time to make it there by 2pm to get yer tire swapped.  

Can an R bike do more than 45 mph?

I've done Lolo Pass and back as a day ride from my house.

[johnny]

if it were me... i would roll at 1st light... can burn up 5:30am tp 8am at home a few thousand days over lifetime... but would much rather burn up 2.5 extra hours of daylight rolling the rattlesnake or the spiral highway...

Maybe the roll-out time is a bit extreme but I figured that (me anyway) at least one meal will be consumed along the way, and I've never ridden that road so there may be a little dawdling and gawking involved....

I was kinda thinking that we'd meet somewhere convenient for both of us, grab a cup o' joe and nibble on something, then head east  ;)

[Turkus]

O.K.....I'll bite - what's the "Spiral Highway" ??  ???

[johnny]

its the old road us95 out of lewiston... an uphill blast... a down hill mofo...




you can roll out of macs n ride this to the top n back to macs in a 1/2 hour...
