Congratulations to Ric and Dorothy on their wedding today. It's about
time she made an honest Man of him!!!!!

Hi Folks - I had a phone message from John this afternoon. He sez that he's
doing great. He headed out for the Norton National on the 1936 16H 500 cc
side valve single on Tues am. He was calling (Wed. afternoon) from Red Oak
Iowa ( in the SW corner of Iowa on Rte. 34, just east of Omaha) this
afternoon. He said the bike was holding up better than he was! It was hotter
than Blazes! He was heading in for a couple of hours of AC to recuperate
during the heat of the afternoon & would set out for the Nebraska border
later in the day. He'll be heading up to Rte 20 to cross Nebraska & Wyoming.
He's hoping to be in Yellowstone by Fri. evening or Sat.(where he'll spend
two or three days site seeing)
Take Care - Bob

Kennelly's Gang from the south was the last to arrive at Ben&Joy's for
breakfast. Artie & Mary were first and Ed & July Kerns met 'em at the
front door. I was across the street getting gas for my boat motor and
saw Artie and Ed do the "ain't seen ya in way to long bear hug". Good
friends, old friends.
There is something special about Ben & Joy's breakfasts. The food, eggs
and stuff, are better there than I make or get most other places. It's
like they know what they're doing!? And Robin, "the" waitress makes
eating there personal. I like it.
Davey showed up late. He lives three blocks away, but got there about
the time we were finished eating. His van wouldn't start. Dave and I
spent the day fishing at Dear Creek Lake. You'll have to go the "Ohio
Norton Owners fishing report" for more about that. I will just say that
no fish were killed or injured in 5 hours of beating the water and
bonding. Everybody won.
I got a chance to catch up with Ed and July a little at breakfast.
Their beautiful, big log home is starting to own them. Lotsa work all
the time. And a gang of raccoons invaded the polebarn. Always something.

Hope the ride was as good as the fishing,
Ric

  The ONO's Mike Reed and I visited the Still Waters Campground today to 
survey the situation, find out the rules and firm things up with the owners.
  We will camping in the primitive area along Elkhorn Creek, first on the 
right as you cross the bridge coming in. There is water available, but no 
electricity. There are no set spots, just drive in and park somewhere you 
like and you're home. There are fire rings scattered about, but no firewood, 
so if anyone is driving a 4 wheeler down and has some firewood hanging 
about, it would be good to bring it. Also chairs, as there are no picnic 
tables. It's quite informal and quite a distance from the bath houses. The 
cost is $3.00 per person, per day, which I will collect along with Mike 
Reed. The Mobile Motel 6 parking is up by the bath houses and has 
water/electric in designated sites, but will set you back $14.00 a day.
  The camp store appears to be closed, so there is no coffee or food 
available on-site. I will bring along a 2 burner Coleman stove and a coffee 
pot and Marcia will bring along a coffee pot. This is needed as Skip has 
made it quite clear that you don't know what a curmudgeon really is until 
you've seen him before morning coffee. Maybe we should charge him for it? 
COD? ;-)
  You're on your own as far as food is concerned, but there are tentative 
plans for a Saturday night mass assault on Jim's Seafood, which overlooks 
the Kentucky River in Frankfort. Steve has allegedly made reservations for 
+/- 10 people for Saturday night at 7:30. (I think)
  The campground rules are pretty simple: No drunken brawls, although it's 
OK to drink. No drug overdoses. Curb your pets or, as in Marcia's case, your 
spouse. Don't tear up the grass ground pounding in your 4wd. Don't shoot 
each other and, if you do, dispose of the body and all the rest of your 
garbage in the dumpster on the way out. That's about it. Checkout time is 
2:30PM.
  We will have a limited number of maps of the area with some of the 
plentiful decent roads marked on them available. I'm not sure how many. 
Whatever Steve manages to put together.
  Steve, Marcia, Mike Reed and possibly myself will be going down after 
work on Friday. Skip is planning to arrive at the crack of dawn on Saturday. 
That's all that I know of for certain.
  Hope that you can make it.


Scott

Subject: Not waving because....

Top 10 Reasons Harley Riders Don't Wave Back

10. Afraid it will invalidate the warranty...

9. Leather and studs make it too hard to raise arm...

8. Refuses to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for...

7. Afraid to let go of the handlebars because they might vibrate off...

6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos...

5. Angry because they just took out a second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley...

4. Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H- D is partially owned by those rice-burner manufacturers

3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else...

2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet...

And the Number One reason Harley riders don't wave back:

1. They're jealous that after spending $30,000, they still don't own a Gold Wing.

Top Ten Reasons Why Gold Wing Riders Don't Wave Back

10. Wasn't sure whether other rider was waving or making obscene gesture...

9. Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip...

8. Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm...

7. Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him...

6. The espresso machine just finished...

5. Was actually asleep when other rider waved...

4. Was in three-way conference call with stock broker and accessories dealer...

3. Couldn't find the "auto wave back" button on the dashboard...

2. Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system...

And the Number One Reason Gold Wing riders don't wave back:

1. They couldn't see through the glare from the chromed-dash accents.

It looks like everyone should have a great time at the BMOK weekend
get-away! Much thanks to Mike Reed an Scott and his compatriots! I
won't be able to attend as I will be in New York attending my oldest
daughters(Heather) wedding on the 25th. Which is also my 29th
anniversary. I wish I could attend, maybe we'll be invited back, that
is if the Ohio boys behave?! Everyone should take advantage of this if
they can, good roads and good people make for good fun! If you plan on
going make sure you let Mike or Scott know in advance so they can make
arrangements! Thanks again BMOK!  >>>Chief

    Also, Mike or Ralph, do you have any idea how many of your crew will

attendance.

Hi all,
I am taking this opportunity to announce the INOA rally this year is
in Selmac Lake Oregon, near Grant's Pass in the Siskyou Mountains.
This is going to be a big event, the biggest Norton event this year in
the west, and well worth attending. Here's a link or two:
http://64.51.115.14/Rally05.htm
http://nortonclub.com/
http://www.inoanorton.com/welcome.htm
I'd leave the link to the Northwest Norton Owners, (co-hosts) but
there appears to be some issues with their website at the moment.
cheers, Gary J Parker, INOA Canadian representative

If you own or know someone that owns a 96 through 98 Ford with a 4.2 liter
SPi engine take note that they have a problem with coolant leaks that will
cause severe engine damage. My friend Dan just found this out the hard way.

  Bob - My truck motor took a dump on me.
If you know anyone with a 96-98 Ford with the
4.2L SPi engine, you might want to have them
contact me.  Apparently they leak coolant at the
intake manifold gasket.  Which fills the intake
runner.  When you crank it, it sucks into #4
cylinder then hydraulic locks.  Unless of course
it is running on one of the other cylinders prior
to hitting the water.  In which case it bends the
con rod...  Wanna know how I learned this tid bit
of information??????  a $3000 lesson

Hi Folks - I'm sorry if you received more than one copy of this message, as
many of you are on more than one of the Norton or other motorcycle lists.

We'll be doing set up at Mid Ohio for the Norton Corral on Thurs. July 14th.
at about noon. It sounds like we have this covered.
Howard White has some 5 gallon buckets that we need to get up to the Corral
on Thurs. Does anyone live close to him, that would be willing to pick them
up & take them to Mid Ohio? or get them to Greg Hasser, Ric Wall or myself
before the 14th?
You can contact Howard at : commando851@...
Lenny Young & the Western Pa. Norton guys are bringing a grill & will put on
a spread at lunch time on Fri. & Sat.
There will also be the traditional cold meat sandwich spread that Greg & Ric
usually put on.
**I haven't heard yet if we are tearing down on Sat. afternoon or on Sun.**
The Corral will be set up in the infield, close to where we were last year.
Vintage Days start Fri. July 15th through the 17th.
Ducati is the featured Marque of the Year.
Here's the VMDs weekend schedule -  http://www.midohio.com/vmdschedule
If you intend to go for the weekend, order your tickets in advance at:
http://www.midohio.com/products.asp?cat=16  You save a fair bit ordering in
advance, rather than buying at the gate. It also saves you a long wait in
line.
They also have on site camping at the track, although I have heard it is
rather rustic, primitive, with little shade.
A number of folks just rent one of the swapmeet spaces & campout there in
their motorhomes.
I've heard that a number of folks are staying at either the Dogwood Valley
Campground near Mt. Gilead  http://www.rv-america.com/oh/oh-mount.htm (Don
Calvert & Ric Wall already have their spots reserved)
or at Honey Creek Valley Campground just south of Lexington
http://www.hikercentral.com/campgrounds/108986.html  where Jack Geers has
his spot reserved.
I've heard the tenting area is a little hilly at Honey Creek.
Don't forget to visit the Ohio Valley BSA guys, who will have their booth
set up in the swapmeet area.

Take Care - Bob

Kentucky Campout

Scott S. and the BMOK have invited all of us to spend the weekend in the Bluegrass State, June 24 25 & 26 at Stillwater Campground, 249 Strohmeier Road, Frankfort, Kentucky.  Camping is $3 per person, per night.

If you are coming from Ohio I have posted maps on the web site.  The route will be most enjoyable on a Norton just get gas often and have fun in the twisties.  The route is not shortest or quickest but some consider the roads to be the best in the state for motorcycling.

If you would like to come early and pitch a tent, stop for an ice cold beverage, or want to park your bike trailer I live about 40 miles from the campground.  Just let me know so I can toss you a burger on the grill and have your favorite beverage on hand.  From my place the nearest Bud Wiser is 9 miles and a "real beer" is over 20 miles away, I live in a dry county.  Direction to Mike's Camp also on the Web site.

If you plan on participating send me an email and I will send my cell number.

Looking forward………

Mike

Group,

Scott Summerhays of BMOK  has proposed all of us getting together the
last weekend in June for a KY campout near Frankfort KY.  We would
like to know how many riders would be interested in coming down to KY
for some good riding.  Please post to the yahoo group and let us know
what Y'all think but hurry the end to the month will be here before
you know it!

Later Mike
mike@...
www.ohionortonowners.org

So how's the body holding up after your surgery? Sorry that I missed
the CONO meeting. JB & I went to the Ohio Valley BSA vintage trials &
swapmeet that weekend. I haven't heard anything about what went on,
but I suspect that there was some liquid refreshments consumed.
I E-mailed Maggi the other day. She thinks it's OK for us to use her &
Norvell's canopy for the Corral. We'll hear back after she's spoken to
Norvell. She's not sure if she & Lyssa will be able to make it up to
Mid Ohio this summer. I'll ask Greg if he can pickup & haul the canopy.
Hey Artie! There's no "spell check" on this thing! How'd you spect us
fawnically challenged to exist on this site?  :    ))

Goombah, I made it!
  Coming up with an ID took a while.
  Don't know who everybody is? Any hints?!

Hey Gary - I'll check. I think I have an extra pin. The T shirts sold out at
the Rally.
