As always Phil, thank you for inviting us and let me know if you plan any work days this fall.
Sorry to hear your kid isnt feeling well. I was going to tell you to bring her, have to stick to whatever she feels comfortable with

I'll make it Phil. Not sure how long I'll be able to survive the heat/humidity though :shrug: Will have to dip my head in the creek.
Have the SR still in the van & have the stock battery fully charged. (Litespeed batt is about 45%).
Charging the KTM now. Had to pull the battery out. I thought I had a 20A 240V extension cord that'd reach from the garage but I don't have the correct connector. Too lazy to run to Home Despot tonight.

I was out at Emmitsburg this morning. No bike, but I was hiking w/ dog and I trimmed up a few spots.

Definitely room for a few more riders if anyone is free to come. Looks like the rain will off till the afternoon.

Other than it being hot and crazy stupid humid, it was a nice day riding.

I got to ride Stephen’s new electric FreeRide, really nice! I liked it. I spent the rest of the day riding his Surron. Was really fun. All four of us were on electrics. Was a weird silent ride.

The snake was cool, albeit a bit pissed/scared :)

Thanks for inviting us out. Had a great time. I can't remember last time I dropped a bike so much :dry:
I did learn picking up an electric on a hill: There is no stalled engine to keep it from rolling. You have to grab the brakes as you lift it. (which is sometimes not the most convenient place to grab for the lift)
