Looks like the weather is really going to cooperate also, Weather.com is calling for 70's and 80's all weekend. Possible thunderstorms on Saturday, but, Closetchef has promised no snow.
Good friends, good food and good roads, it just don't get any better than that.![]()

Is it ok if I bring Rich along to pilot BUS-B (the Butt-Ugly Silver Bike)? Maybe you already counted us as two!Add 5Ross and Ron Bien, too, as 1 each.
I think Bloodbought1 has opted out due to family stuff and am unsure if William will come if BB1 doesn't. Hogmemberisold and Honey might also attend. Looks like a fun list!

Wow, nice list! There's quite a few others that should show, that don't chat here. Good friends all the same.
Looks like the weather will be an issue again this year. Please be safe and we'll try to hold some spots open "underneath"

BREAKING NEWS!
The Hillbilly News Channel (HNC) has uncovered a secret plot by a rogue outlaw motorcycle gang to take over a state park in Tennessee. It is suspected the unruly gang intends to converge on Falls Creek Falls state park sometime around noon on Saturday with plans on complete obliteration of the buffet and reduce it to a pile of bones and dirty dishes! Tennessee govenor Bill Haslam has placed the National guard on high alert and they are standing by with tanker trucks of iced tea and trailer loads of pork chops to aid and assist any local survivors of the aftermath.
It is advised that you change into clean clothes and thoroughly wash your hands after eating before approaching any of this gang. The scent of food can sometimes send this group into a feeding frenzy that would embarrass a pond full of pirahanas.
HNC has decided in the interest of public safty to expose some of these members, at great personal risk, by stealing their pictures from their websites.
The Leader
Alias: chris, closetchef, girleyman.
Keep alert with this guy, he has been known to dispatch entire groups of bikers by sending them out into a blizzard while he doubled back to his hideout and warm easy chair.
![]()
Some of those unsuspecting bikers didn't return for days, with a few even needing extensive surgery to remove the smile from their face.
The punisher
Alias: Becky, QueenB, RichandBecky, your majesty.
She is easily identified by her trademark ugly yellow boots or sometimes a pair of yellow crocs. Her job is to control this unruly mob by forcing members to stand in the corner for hours at a time. Sometimes she can be seen knitting while riding on the back of a bike or doing so while sitting in front of motel rooms. Approach with caution, that blur of knitting needles can be deadly. She has no mercy.
The extractor
Alias: Bob, Robeth, licensed tooth torturer.
His job is to extract information for the group from unsuspecing bikers. He routinely gets information such as the best roads to ride and best eating places. He also knows where some good places to hole up for the night are. His methods can be brutal at times. He once removed a spleen from a downed rider using nothing but a rusty pocket knife, a roll of dental wire and some duct tape. Don't let the mild mannered disguise below fool you.
It is unclear at this time if these two are gonna attend this Saturday's event but it should be noted just in case you encounter them.
The twins
Alias: John and Rick, JP and Galute
More info can be found on these two by watching the documentary on HBO titled "TWINS" starring Danny Devito and Arnold Swarzenegger.
Stay tuned to this thread for more info on this epic event as it unfolds.

Now, back to read the whole thing (kinda like the pols voting on something so they'll know what's in it!!!)
TLR safely.

Ugly yellow boots, huh? No mercy? Well, I have only this to say to you:
Actually, we have been thrown a curve and may not be in attendance this year after all. We've had a death in the family and are still awaiting details on the services, etc. We will do all in our power to be there, though, even if we have to come in the cage.
Extemporise safely.

Thanks, Rickey and Eric, for your condolences. The only thing I need right now is to see my friends. It's been way too long since I've seen y'all.
The funeral for our great-nephew has been set for Saturday. We will not be in attendance at this year's Lunch Run. I hope that all y'all will have a wonderful weekend and be safe in your comings and goings. Love all of you!

Frank, as much as I would love to come see all my friends it just looks like it's not gonna be in the cards this time. After being gone from home for 8 months I can't swing a road trip just yet. I'm working on a getting a new job that would permit more time for riding and visiting with friends. I've got my eyes crossed... or should that be fingers? Hmmmm....
