Today, Rich and Brooks loaded up and started South. They came over to my house, and loaded the bikes onto a flatbed trailer I have.
When we checked the lights, wouldn't you know the right one was completely out. Some quick probing and it was determined the new light was actually somewhat defective. Extremely poor electrical connections inside the unit. A quick fix was made, and they were off at about 11:45AM. Plans were to drive as far South as they could tonight, bunk down, then unload bikes in AM. Riches wife would drive truck & trailer back home and Brooks and Rich would meander the rest of the way on "back-roads", enjoying the countryside, They should get into Jellico, TN mid day Sunday. John and I will leave tomorrow afternoon with bikes in my truck. If we can get near Columbus, OH for the night, it will be an easy ride into Jellico on Sunday. The BIG ride starts Monday AM.

The reason we're "truckin" the bikes part way, is so we don't wear out two things, our butts, and our brand new knobby tires. Pavement is bad on both .
Loaded up and ready to head South
