May 5th – 8th, 2022 Ozarks Rally VI, Mountain View, Arkansas.

[BluzPlayer]

Very disappointing news today.
My wife's sister that was moving to Mountain Home from Louisiana recently had a surgery.
Unfortunately she has had complications from the surgery and that has delayed their move.
The sister that already lives in Mountain Home is now in Louisiana helping out. I will be taking my wife back to Louisiana and will be helping finish getting things ready for the movers while you guys are ripping through the Ozarks.
I'm deeply disappointed as I have been very much looking forward to shaking hands with many of those I interact with here as well as seeing the machines and gathering for conversation and dinners. I had thought this was a made for me event opportunity but alas, the world has intervened. I had no bike anyway but congregating with fellow enthusiasts for breakfast and dinners was something I have been excited about. Anyway it is no longer a possibility as family obligations take priority.
I wish each of you to have an amazing and safe gathering. This has driven my ambition and desire to complete my build with a greater urgency. I am now committed to having the bike ready to ride at next years event. Missing this is going to be fuel for me. Hope you guys have a great time. Lots and lots of miles with big smiles.

The stars are aligned. The Uhaul trailer is available a day early and Ozark Heritage Center made my room available 1 day earlier and 2 new tires were mounted yesterday.

Apparently, you’ve never been to Arkansas.

This sir is a GENTLMAN's ride, proper dress is required for all activities.

Is there a charcoal grill available near the cabins?

 

[gggGary]

Don't recall one, not even much for fire pits?

 

[jetmechmarty]

I don’t

Is there a charcoal grill available near the cabins?

I don’t recall anything like that either. There are no provisions in the room for dining. You’ll have to use your lap.

 

[Kevin Werner]

I'll leave the bratwurst at home then

She loves a foam bath before the Ozarks Rally

 

[Kevin Werner]

Did clutch spring today. Hope I have time to wipe off greasy fingerprints before heading off. Desmond looks good at the soapy washing thing, want to do another?

81 got a sponge bath. Hoses are not out of hibernation yet.

 

[gggGary]

Sounds like they all will get a bath on the way there.

shhhh! don't tell Desmond, but I'm going to be smoking you guys on the rides!

 

[jetmechmarty]

Mine is getting a new chain. Thanks to Michael "Mercury" Morse for getting it to me so fast!

Who’s Desmond?

 

[grizld1]

These are not Ducati people, gotta explain about desmodromic heads.

 

[desmoman900]

Ahhh. Desmond is desmoman! Mystery solved

Enjoy yourselves, guys. Sorry to miss this for the 3rd(!) year in a row. Got a little problem with age, chemo, and suppressed immunity, so more isolation is in the picture, though I'm feeling fine and the prognosis is good. I'll fire up the D and take a good long ride thinking of you.
