A minor after-ride report
All in all a good ride.
I, being lead, did a couple of DooF loops, but it didn't add more than 10 15 minutes to the trip to Bedford, VA. If any of ya DooFs are ever in SW VA near Lynchburg, visit the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA. http://www.dday.org/ , it will be worth the trip. Other info on it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_D-Day_Memorial Started with 7 bikes to Orange, VA (Didn't know the BIG DAMN BIKE SHOW was going on Saturday-looked like it was a...uh..a big damn bike show), hope Warren, his wife and his bro, Chuck, had a great time there. Hope Chuck starts riding with the group more often, since ZoomieDog is heading to the 'left coast'. BTW, we will try to now call ya ZoomieDog, Jr., Chuck.  So, five bikes did the ride to Bedford. On the way back, stopped at Lynchburg HD - got free bbq sammys, but didn't taste nother like dauvker's (note to dave: pack a bottle of gorilla sauce in your bags, never know when you will stumble upon bbq pork that needs a boost . Swm's bike starting acting up (Push rods?Lifters?) south of Charlottesvile. Stopped once did a roadside adjustment (good thing he has adjustable push rods). Took off and lost davuker & rkotter-they took the right exit heading north, we did another DooF loop (Yo, I wasn't leading by this time ). I think we did another 20 miles and it acted up again. DId another stop and another 'fix'. Swm, gonna have to enlighten us on the mystery when ya find out.  I'll see what pics I took and post what is worthy for DooF eyes to see. Tired right now, did about 375 miles total. Nice ride home, gonna have to remember that route for our southern VA rides. Good ride, good people (as always) and had nice weather to boot. Nice way to spend the Saturday of Father's Day weekend.

A few pics of the road repairs.
This is why we bring Swm along for rides... ...Double D Roadside Assistence Program ...I guess we can call Slowhound his 'little helper.'
