[Marc Albea]

There's a few out on fleabay.  Here's one example.  Not a bad price either.

I saw this one, but couldn't bear to get a seat with purple flames on it.  I suppose I could get it recovered; at that point it might be a better idea to buy a new one.  I'll keep looking.  Thanks!

I was planning on bringing both seats (Corbin and Mustang) to Mena with me as others had been interested in seeing the difference at past MaGs. I was planning on selling them with the bike but if someone makes me an offer on one I probably won't refuse.   I'll for sure have them with me though, and invite any and all to test fit them on their bike, go for a ride, try before you buy, etc.

I have some other spares I'll bring as well. Leatherman (I think) saddlebags, windscreen of some sort, SuperMagna pillion and strap... Anyone interested in a full set of Chuck Crites' Cobalt Racing fairings for a 2nd generation Interceptor? I've been trying to get rid of these suckers for years... If nothing else, some of it may make for good raffle fodder.

My girlfriend has officially bailed on the Mena trip - she can't get the time off from her new job. However, since I already have the truck and trailer lined up, I'm still bringing all three bikes, and now I have a load of room left. I can easily bring one more bike and a passenger or three if anyone in the Austin area or between Austin and Mena want a lift up and/or back. Save the rubber for the Arkansas roads! No use leaving it all on the interstate! PM me if interested and we'll work out the details.

Dave, this also frees up my schedule a bit. What days do you have the cabin reserved? Count me in for all nights you've got it unless I pick up a passenger whose schedule is more restricted than mine.

I will be there Wednesday, so come on if you choose to come early.

Dave-
A heads up.  My group was planning to ride the Pig Trail next week among other roads.  It seems the rains have washed out part of the Pig Trail (aka hiway 23) just north of Cass.

Happy riding..

Says Landslide, wonder if they would run blade over it by next, I was looking forward to the Pig Trail.

I'm not sure Terry.  Our group is re-routing.  We have to get from Petit Jean state park to Fayetteville for a provided lunch from supporters.  Apparently the re-route adds a good hour+ to the ride up (and then another hour back...)

Long story short though-it is an option to ride up to Cass, then turnaround.  That is about halfway up the tail if I understand it correctly.  If we didn't have donors giving us free food we wouldn't be going to Fayetteville...

So instead of Pig Trail it's now Pig Fail.

By the way, I got your package Scott for the numbers drawing. Thanks for your contribution.

If anybody else has anything they wish to bring to be door prized it would be appreciated.

[hop along]

Glad to hear Dave, it is ready to go in case anybody has need for it pre-door prize   I recall I could have used it perhaps last year lol
Good for camping as well.  Happy Riding!!

I think I can make this work.  Does anybody have a bed available?

-Snoopy

I have one bunk available at this point.

Buster,
I'm sorry that I didn't reply earlier.  Work has been crazy and this Sunday I'll be starting a 24 straight day work session (with only one day off in the middle), so I will *not* be able to go to MOOTMag 2015.

Oh yeah, I also forgot, my bike's engine died two Saturday's ago anyways.    Yeah, I'm still in the denial stages of grief.

Have fun everybody!

I wonder if the landslide is on half of the road where a motorcycle could still get around?

[Fast Old Man]

If anyone is headed up through Dallas on Thursday to attend the Meet and Greet, I'm planning on heading up at that time.  Let me know if you'd like to meet up and ride!

[Smoked U]

I am tentatively planning on leaving the Dallas area around 0800 Wednesday morning.

I will be trailering two bikes, bringing tools and door prize/raffle stuff.

If you are interested in running with me, you can throw your luggage in the truck.

The weather looks really good at this point for the trip and rally. Mena is showing high 80's and mid 60's at night. If the humidity settles down, it should make for some good day riding and outstanding evening B.S,ing.

Several months ago I had said I was going to MOOTMAG 2015, but I'm not able to make it.  I'm trying to get some maintenance done on the bike and economics got me this year.  I will pray for everyone's safe travels and daily bike rides and good conditions.
