The latest farkle for the Wing...

It's less than three weeks before we leave for Indy, and the excitement is building. I thought you'd like to see the replacement for the trailer. It's a rack that mounts to the trailer hitch and holds a 12x18 bag. I added a couple of lights and wired them to the trailer light connection. It adds a lot of visibility.


Also, I now know for sure that I'll be a Tailgunner for Flight B, group 2 with Denny. Excited and freaked at the same time.

I also upgraded the exhaust on the Wing. It's now sporting a set of Torq Master King Snake pipes. It sounds like a Porsche now.

I don't know what I am...

After many emails, it appears that I'll either be an Assistant Ride Captain (ARC), Tail Gunner (TG), or just a rider on the Legacy Run. I don't think I'll know for sure until we get there. I'll take any of those roles gladly, though.

Deja tire.

Here we are again, a month out from the Legacy Run, and I need a back tire again. Got the wheel pulled and in the truck, just need Ted to get it mounted. Saw on twitter updates and in emails from others that we'll have 500 participants at some points in the run this year. 350 motorcycles! Yikes!

The visual updates this year will have a new twist: Video. I haven't bought the device yet, but I'm looking. Stay tuned. (Get it?)

To Blog or to Facebook...

No, that isn't the question. Actually I'll try to do both. Facebook updates during the day, and blog updates in the evenings while on the run. Ambitious? Yes. The FB updates might not happen too often, but I will get the blog posts done in the evenings. I promise.

Isn't this ironic...

Today I got an email from Socko that he was assigning me to be the tail gunner (or sweep) for his group in the Run. I guess that confirms that we wont' be taking the trailer this year, and won't be part of the trailer/trike "flight". What's ironic about that? My screen name in Twitter is TrailerTrash180.

In other news, we met up with Dave Schoonover (Post 68) and Dennis McDonough (Post 136) although not under the circumstances we'd like. We attended the funeral for John Street of Stafford who was killed last weekend as a result of injuries sustained in a accident with a deer. We made some tentative plans for heading out to Indy next month.

5 weeks and counting!
