    Bend is shaping for mostly sunny, 0% chance of precip, high of 65, and low around (or just below) freezing for the weekend. Gonna bring a thicker sleeping bag, but planning to head out Friday morning and be down by afternoon.

    ^^ Was supposed to say "positively tropical" but apparently some random keys have decided to die.

    I'm going to try to leave in the morning (Wednesday), camp Wednesday night, run a couple of quick errands in Bend Thursday morning, then be back out to China Hat just afternoon.

    And last I talked to the people at Bills/BMP, they are also planning on being out there just afternoon on Thursday.

    Best guess on my departure time would be early Sunday morning.

    Sounds like maybe a much smaller group this year. But way better weather. Go figure.

    The past 2 years we had factory support from HVNA, this year they are not acknowledging the existence of this site.

    Love to meet them if that could be arranged...

    You would think some of the Old Guard would have let them know about us .. I was thinking some of them might still be around ?

    I'm not one of the official "Bill's People" but I think Bryon and I are going to be launching one caravan east from Salem early in the 8:00 hour, with several other people en route from this area shortly after.

    There is room on my trailer for at least two more bikes if anyone in the greater Salem area needs a haul.

    I honestly can't say that I'm shocked to hear that, considering the hate that's been spewed on several threads (guilty of a little of that myself). People must think that "they" don't see all that, too. Saddening.

    We are the customers they should start some kind of charm offensive...
