Apparently I should have known about CAM earlier... anyway... I am in Newport News/Suffolk for the remainder of Thursday night.  If anyone wants to hang out with some AZ freak... [drink]

My hotel is actually in Suffolk... anyways, I shall escape this place soon enough.  The problem I go through is bike withdrawal since I ride regardless of weather or whatever.

I understand being off the bike. I'm trying to get winter gear together because I have no intentions of not riding because it's cold. Won't ride in the rain if I can help it because people are idiots around here when it's raining.

They don't call it Bad News for nothing.  I went to high school in Va beach.

riding in the rain taught me some VERY valuable lessons in traction and throttle control....to a point where on my old street Monster, it became a fun game...ESPECIALLY with the idiots....deliberately spinning up the rear with a fishtail wiggle leaving a roostertail of spray behind you is very effective in making the assholes behind you back the fock off pretty quickly....

Riding in the rain has taught me a very valuable lesson. Stay the hell away from truck ruts on the highway. It doesn't take much to turn a moto into a surfboard.

To the East I go again.  This time not so much the VA area.  This time I'll be north of Baltimore in Bel Air.

I didn't realize CAM covered Baltimore and environs, so I confused the DeVal folks.  ;D

Google tells me it is approximately 25 minutes from Statler's stomping grounds.

Bel Air is up there - but yeah you're no too far from Balmer and it's associated environs. You might be able to roust some of them out.

I take it Balmer is Eastern for Baltimore?

I show up tomorrow afternoon, and fly out Friday morning.  Wednesday or Thursday evenings I will be free to hang out.
