I think the decision has been made, Thanks. Some of Barbs family would like to fly in, rent a car and participate in her memorial run with us and the Fall run is too soon for them to plan this out...so if it is OK with everyone I will come alone for the Fall run and celebrate her life Oct, 1st without doing a Memorial and that will be better for everyone concerned. Anyone who would like to join me for a toast that night in the bar is welcomed. I/We can make plans for the Memorial and ash spreading on the Spring run. Thanks everybody and I look forward to seeing some familiar faces this trip!

I may just come by myself and plan her Memorial for the spring run...Ya'll please give some input, I know she wouldn't want to bring anyone down or ruin any plans. And I am a little torn too since Oct 1st would have been our 28th anniversary...this run would be appropriate. HELP PLEASE?!

Terry, what ever you come up with will work out just fine. I am sure everyone will do what ever it takes to make it work for you. See you at the end of the month. James

Thanks, my brain although slowing down is still fragmented, shes had a long battle with a lot of ups and downs and I think just coming by myself this time will help ease me back into a normal rythm of life...besides the X-Fire needs some exercise badly! Thank You and I look forward to seeing old freinds and meeting the new faces that show up...I am bringing some new video tricks with me to experiment with and I have my new editing computer so it should be great fun!

It would be great to get enough made for each car attending, but the cost is too much to absorb. Any help here? Or I can make enough for just the interested parties.
Let me know if your interested or any other ideas/suggestions. Time is getting near.

We all will share a moment of silence in memory of Barb and her love of the Crossfire and the meets from the past.

Where is Lil Switzerland?Little Switzerland is East, requiring a bit of driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, to Diamond Back. Diamond Back is another motorcycle route. It's a long haul but you and your family are more than welcome to join us.

I wanted to take a moment and provide some advice.
For anyone wanting to run with the fast group on Friday or Saturday for your safety if funds allow upgrade your rotors, pads, lines, and fluid. You will use your brakes and they will get hot. This advise is particularly valid for new owners who may not have even thought about their brakes. I come from personal experience regarding brake failures and the dragon.
