Sorry to hear you guy's aren't coming down especially this year being the 30th

Sorry to hear you aren't going to make it Brian.
I'm up in the air on it myself. My issues are work related. I'm missing a couple crew members so am very short handed and VERY busy right now!

One of my lead electricians went down on his dyna low rider over memorial day weekend. He will be OK but he needs a few more weeks to heal up. I'm taking his place in the field and still trying to run the office side. 14+ hr days for the past few weeks have been rough!

Need a new tire for the max before I go anywhere. I've got cords showing thru. Hoping it shows up today. I will remove the wheel over the weekend and get it to the shop to have it installed next week. Saturday is out of the picture cause I've got another crane lift lined up at a rooftop site outside of Pgh.

Hope to see you guys there.

Yeah, work is ramping up even more now, even though we lost our service manager and highest level tech we have been making do with just 3 techs. We have a new GM that is pro IT so we are getting one tech rehired and office staff to clear the techs plates of general office duties. The new ramp up in work will double our casino side business. It may be a historic moment when this happens but it depends,I guess, on how you feel about the casino business on how historic it is.

Well Brian, since we're missing out this time around, I think we should do it up good for 2016.......:biglaugh:..........I really liked the trip last year, except spend 2 or 3 full days in Tennessee/N Carolina and then roll up to Pa to finish the week at thunder!............I'll bet we could get a good group to join in!........unk:.......Tom.

Question is the dyno going to have a mixture sniffer or is it just strait up hp tq readings? Just wondering if I should bring my kit because I never actually dynoed it since I put the muscle kit in

He had a Sniffer the last 2 years so I'd think he would have it again this year.
You might want to PM Michael Moore (vmax2extreme) and have him ask the Dyno Guy.

Thunder Events
Maybe somebody could put this in a new posts if needed.
Would like to see a sign in sheet , possibly in the office of the Days Inn, for those of us that are arriving earlier in the week. We could leave our room & contact # to be called or texted to if there are any members in the area that would be available to take us out for a ride on there favorite route or place they frequent for lunch or dinner. As opposed to doing a drive through the parking lot & hoping someone is around. If we all know that there is an offer for a ride with an approx departure time we could meet & go, or at least let the leader know there is an interest. We could do it by posting here on the forum as well, but not everyone has internet capabilities when travelling. Another idea would to have a room # that we could go to for the information that would be posted there as well, &, for later in the week, kinda of a complimentary room that we all would know to go to to get the contact information of the latest changes on rides , departures, destinations etc. Just an idea, I plan on leaving home Tuesday & arriving Wed afternoon at the latest, taking the scenic route. With 36 pages of Thunder info to read through, a new topic dedicated to Thunder Rides with member leader name & intentions & contact info would be a good start for those of us planning on being there before Friday to get some extra riding time in. Maybe post something Tuesday nite at the Days inn? 2 wheel Larry

I'd be up for that Tom, looks like Kyle may have a location and Maggie Valley is a great location!

Let's put that one together Brian!..........unk:........There was so much we didn't get to see or do last year.............................Tom.

 

[lawman504]

[vmax2extreme]

Sorry you are unable to make it this year Brain. We will toast ya at thunder for sure!

 

[leecifer]

Well I guess I'll be the first to say it. The extended forecast is looking good but it can change alot in a few days. Let's hope for the best.:damn angry:

 

[Falaholic]

Got a buddy an hour West of Sommerset. Been saying that it has be downpours all the last couple of weeks, and is expecting the same this week.

 

[marsmax85]

Same here but I did my no rain while riding dance so we are good unk:

 

[Redbone]

Thanks guys, I will be missing riding with ya'll too! I wouldn't let a little rain dissuade you from coming to Thunder. It can be so hit or miss it seems on a ride, go over the mountain to the next valley it's dry. It was never enough for me to don my rain gear so I hope it dries up for you guys!
Ride hard and have fun!
