[TOM BOGNAR]

The National Weather Service 10 day forcast is................... warmer than normal:) & ........................wetter than normal :o: Maybe all the Nancy Boys won't electrocute themselfs with the warm temps.:p:

[Wheels of Fire]

seems like last year Friday was in the 50's, and then saturday was 34 w/ rain/snow/sleet.

If Saturday does pan out to be a nice day, you can bet the local chrome show crowd will be there. Then we all can see how the other half lives, and we'll all have hamburger juice dripping from our collective chins.

[George]

Looks like my heated gear and Frogg Toggs are gonna get a work out next week, Jasper, IN to Aurora, IL to Casey, IL to Aurora, IL to Fort Leonardwood, MO. Hope it dries up in there somewhere!

I looked all over Roy's parking lot and could not find your bike. Where were you?

[clmixon]

I am hoping for dry, With the output of the 1300 alternator, my gerbing can handle the rest :)

Some of you lads are pretty thin blooded... I'm coming from NH without heated gear...no worries :D

No problem, I am heat adjusted, not cold so I know how y'all get when it gets over 100 with 98% humidity too. :rolleyes: Wish Gerbing made a solution for that!

Looking forward to meeting you at Moonshine

No doubt! Heat + humidity ain't my favorite. I did live in coastal AL for a while, so I have some tolerance, but I'm in no hurry to go back unless it's Nov-Feb. Look forward to meeting you too, Chris :cool:

[the Ferret]

I'm planning on riding over Saturday just to have a burger and meet some of you. Look for the black ST pulling into the parking lot around 11:00 :D

I noticed that this is the Casey, IL ski forecast. I didn't know that Casey was a resort town.
It sure looks like it's shaping up to be a lot of SUNSHINE at MOONSHINE!!

[dr1954]

My forecast for moonshine:

Good people

Good food

Good times

and of course motorcycles!

If it rains, snows, hails,etc so be it.

[skidlid1300]

Uh, who is Big Agnes? and why is she in a sleeping bag?... I guess with a name like "Big Agnes," I'd hate to see what she looks like... Yeah, leave her at home, unless you like to stay warm... :crackup

[STindy05]

Terry....I think this is exactly how the weather went last year. The 10 day called for a nice sunny 60 degree day and each day it got consistently worse. The forecast for Saturday now says 44 and showers, by saturday it will probably be 35 and snow.

[Highrider]

NOAA shows:
Thursday Hi = 62 Low = 40 Light Rain
Friday Hi = 62 Low = 42 Light Rain
Friday evening - rain ending
Saturday Hi = 55 Low = 35 No rain
Sunday Hi = 55 Sunny

[STindy05]

Thursday Hi = 62 Low = 40 Light Rain

I like their forecast better!

[Austin city limits]

I have 10,,, yes 10 Forcast to look at,,,

(((I am a farmer ya know,,, NEVER look at the weather to much)))

And I still say,,, it will not be 43 degrees Saturday!!!

I would take 55 and no rain... That would be the best year yet!!!

SHOULD HAVE HAD IT THIS LAST WEEKEND!!! :mad:

[Wheels of Fire]

I recall last year the previous weekend was great weather as well!!! Fingers crossed...

[Coop]

And what the heck was wrong with last years weather? Coop looks for his heated gear......

[Wheels of Fire]

Oh, I liked last years weather just fine.

(Credits to unknown photographer...I found myself in your photos)http://tfwells.home.mchsi.com/images/IMG_4719.JPG

[George]

I think I'll swing by Wally World and pick up an umbrella, one of those big golf jobs ought'a allow room for company. :D

CNN weather looks worse than weather.com. Goes to show that, when the experts disagree, there are no experts.

[STindy05]

Hey Guys,

Don't look at weather.com right now because they have put that "S" word in the forecast for saturday. Repeat of last year?

[clmixon]

I AM NOT TO BLAME FOR THIS :D

It will be 80 with occasional showers when I pull out Thursday....I will try to drag it up with me.

Heated gear is a GOOD thing....Now I need a 100' cord, does Gerbing make this? and a big sign that says "don't turn off bike, is running life support gear":rolleyes:


Chris :06biker:

[Wheels of Fire]

Each passing day the Saturday forecast get about 5 degrees cooler...and wetter.

[Coop]

I will not get blisters on my hand trying to stay warm with heated grips this time..........Gerbings are all packed. Better to be a nancy boy than a knucklehead. LOL!!

[Putt]

Last weekend, and the weekend after Moonshine are looking pretty good...

Now thats the forcast that makes Moonshine,Moonshine :D :D I still can't wait !!

[Putt]

Just exacty where is this NOAA / SHMMMMmmmmooooaa forecast....?
According to the Weather.com, we're gonna be LEAVING in frickin' rain squalls on Friday and coming back in rain/SNOW showers on Sunday!!

Can anyone say "Day Zsa Zsa Vu" Moonshine 2007... in unsion please???

I swear... I'm not evan gonna clean my bike this week.

[clmixon]

everybody go to www.weatherunderground.com (http://www.weatherunderground.com) and use their forcast, it looks much better :D

[STindy05]

There seem to be to different versions of weather forecast that I have seen for that day. Some say a high of about 45 with showers/rain and the other says a high of about 55 and sunny. I hope the latter is right. But I will be there either way.

[bygdawg]

Just once, I wonder if it could be sunny and 70 for Moonshine???
:rolleyes:

[Austin city limits]

I am obtaining a lawyer and I am going to sue Mother Natures Arse,,, if it snows... :mad:

[Wheels of Fire]

Just once, I wonder if it could be sunny and 70 for Moonshine???
:rolleyes:

It is...Today!! (Mon Apr 7)

[bygdawg]

Doh! You...:banghead: I told myself that I wasn't leaving 80's for 30's again, but you know I just have to have one of those shirts. LOL

[Coop]

Coop packs rain gear, heated gear and earplugs incase there is an outbreak of "lobby singng" again this year.

[bygdawg]

:headbang: And you know there will be. Where is that Tom Jones emoticon when I need him??? :crackup

[motomac]

And here in NE Ohio, it is absolutely drop dead gorgeous today. 70 degrees with copious amounts sunshine. A little of the same tomorrow, thundershowers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. So, I guess the weather George left with in AZ has followed him all the way across the country and is going to dump on us here in the eastern half of the country for MOONSHINE!!!! And I'll pretend I didn't see the forecast for Saturday and Sunday for Casey that has the four letter word that starts with sno. Good thing I still have the knobbies on the KLR.

[Coop]

I heard that Ram was coming out with a special umbrella holder and calling it the Moonshine Special.

[motomac]

Another Nancy Boy item I'll have pick up!!!!

We had snow here today, more tonight. Hopefully I dont follow it there. Told the wife to pack her rain suit, snow suit, and bathing suit and we should be covered...As long as my burger doesnt get wet, Im good...The black ones seem to run better in the rain...counting the hours now...

[st11ray]

I was gonna wash my bike and have it all nice and clean for Moonshine, but I figured that would definitely make it rain. So, I'll just ride a filthy bike and probably won't see a drop of rain all weekend!

[Austin city limits]

Your spirit,,, on coming no matter what,,, made my day... :bow1:

I have had a TERRIBLE cold in my lungs,,, and felt like crap all day... I needed the boost were you all are saying your coming anyway...

You who make the journey,,, are true Riders... I tip my diet DR Pepper to you all... :bow1:

I say if it snows that it's only fair that we all pitch in and build a big fat snowman sitting on Terry's ST. After all, he called for the sunny weather, riigghhtttt? :crackup P.S. I'm certainly going to be taking pictures of him making snow angels in the parking lot outside the hotel. :crackup

Now I'm going to start a thread on good snow cream recipes. P.S. Never use yellow snow. :crackup

[George]

Forecast at cnn.com looks better than the one at weather.com. Rain showers on Thursday only. Go CNN!

[sirepair]

The "AccuWeather" forcast aint too shabby.... HERE (http://www.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=1&zipChg=1&zipcode=62420)

[bygdawg]

Let's just make our own.

Here's what I'm thinking:

Thursday: 75% chance of rain with highs reaching the mid to upper 50's.

Friday: Hold on to your hats folks, as we're having a warming trend today. 25% chance of rain with highs reaching into the mid 60's to upper 60's.

Saturday: A repeat of yesterday with a 35% chance of rain.

Sunday: Cloudy with a bit of haze in the morning. 25% chance of rain with a high of 70 for your ride home...I mean your day. :crackup

[motomac]

Well, the snow has been taken off the plate for Satuday and Sunday.

[bygdawg]

Thank goodness. However, I suppose I'd rather have snow than sleet like last year, at least if it's a light snow. However, if I could have my rathers, I'd rather have sunny and 70. Hey....A guy can dream, right?

[STindy05]

Looks like it should be a fun first camping experience!

Good thing we I will have some seasoned experienced campers there to help me if needed.

[bygdawg]

Failing to mention that you have a hotel room on standby, of course. :-)

Weather _sucks!_ Just arrived at Adam Cs from Jasper, IN. Pretty good ride til just south of Kankakee, then the rain started. Cold and wet. Thank FSM for 'lectrics! :D

See youse guys Thursday afternoon. Terry, you gonna have inside space enuff for everyone?

[STindy05]

I really don't know how you do it Terry! You must have some magical powers to be able to select at least 365 Days in advance which weekend to have this that will make it a challenge. I mean really...if it was 65 and sunny and no rain then anybody could ride for a Moonburger. The weather seperates the men from the boys. There cannot be more truth in your little saying about making it to Moonshine defining "weather" your a motorcycle rider or a motorcycle owner!

If it was easy to Find,,, it wouldn't be the Moonshine Store you were looking for...

If was easy to make,,, It wouldn't be the Moonshine Lunch Run...

I'm bringing my picnic table fly, is there a picnic table to put it over at the farm??? It's big enough that 8-10 folks can be a little sheltered in case the sun shines. Wouldn't want anyone to get sunburned!!!

[st11ray]

I'm packing today and it looks like the rainsuits won't be taking up much space in the saddlebags.
I read all the posts from Papa Bear and George and think, man my ride will be a piece of cake compared to theirs.
I thought about getting heated gear but figured it couldn't be as bad as you guys had it last year, so I didn't. It's looking rather cold and wet on the Casey forecast right now. I'll probably buy heated gear when I get home, so next year at Moonshine will be the best weather ever!
Even though I know I'm gonna get soaking wet and freeze my butt off and will probably be asking myself the whole ride, why am I doing this? I can't wait to hit the road tomorrow morning!
Looking forward to seeing you all in Moonshine!

Ray,

the reason I have heated gear now is Terry. I think he and Mike at Gerbing are in cahoots;)

"let's drum up sales in the south"

"How?"

"we'll start a real popular RTE and have it in a place where the southerners will go, but it's still cold."

"Ok, we can call it Moonshine, they go for that"

"Each time they go, more and more of them will vow to never be that cold again"

"We'll make Millllions"

Well, I am just sayin.....:rolleyes:

Ok Im sitting here watching the weather channel while I look at the forum. A couple last minute threads before I finish packing, heading out tomorrow. There is a large red area covering Missouri, and part of Kansas marked SEVERE, is this bad? Snow advisory for eastern Colorado. Tornadoes in Oklahoma. (Hope Coop isnt in that..)Looks like an adventure to me....

Next years Moonshine shirts should SOOOO read...

It's not a RTE. It's an adventure. :D

[clmixon]

This is gonna be fun....

I am starting out in the AM with a high in the 80's, Mesh jacket and Olympia Air Mesh pants.

Gonna see how far north I get before my gills get tired, rain the whole way.

Most of the area north of Memphis is under a Flash flood watch. If people get evacuated, no motels....:cool:

So, I may end up coming all the way to Casey tomorrow due to the rain and so on....

If not, looks like a stop near Blythville AR and then a short run the next day, this time with the rain gear and my 3/4 jacket. Saturday pM to Sunday AM looks like liners, Gerbing, balaclava and heavy gloves.

Sunday looks like warming the whole way south until I get back to the 80's

Like wow man deja vu.....

OK, I made it to the farm and set up my tent, and it stopped raining long enough to get everything done. Then it started to drizzle for the rest of the way to Casey. Got here about 3:00 local. No rain, but windy.

[NoBull]

I 70 closed east of Limon due to blowing snow....I am looking at either going south a bit then east, or delaying departure until early am...Im trying to get there...

[2dogs]

Rained almost all the way to Indianapolis , Some light rain then some DRIVING rain, then some warmer temps and blowing rain.... Drying out in Indi and wil be in Casey tomorrow.

We have a tornado warning here in south east Michigan. I still plan on leaving at about 0500 tommorrow morning. A little wind will just blow me to Illinois faster!:rolleyes:

[Austin city limits]

VERY COOL ALAN!!! Look forward to seeing ya!!! :bow1:

[lesjohns]

Had thunderstorms (lots of lighting) plus tornadoes down here today. Will head out a couple of hours before the farmer wakeup in the am. Doubt I will make lunch but will still be there for the firehouse tomorrow night.
Don't mind riding in the raining but lighting and tornadoes.......
I guess I am not a 'hardy' soul.

[Dinkie Diesel]

Ladies and gentlemen, you may call me the biggest vertical lip in the world but I am cancelling. Rain, snow, wind gusts to 31mph? It's not worth it for me and I love hamburgers. There's always next year, right? Tell the Moonshine folks to freeze that burger and I'll eat it next year.

Enjoy the day!


Thanks for the effort you and your comrades put into this event.

[clmixon]

Putt, Scott and I have an idea for next year! We are going to get a generator and a whole bunch of adapters on 100 foot cords.

Pull into the parking lot at Moonshine, unhook your heated snivel gear from bike power and (for a nominal small fee) hook immediately up to Moonshine shore power cords.:cool:

Imagine, it's 38, raining and there is a 30 mph wind from the north but you don't care. Just crank up the heat...

Of course, the first year we actually had this would be the sunny 75 degree day....:p:

Chris :06biker:

[bygdawg]

I want to see how you get that generator on the back of the bike. :crackup

[acara1796]

If it's a Honda generator...it'll work ;)

[Coop]

If it's a Honda generator...it'll work ;)

Maybe we could just take turns warming up in a police car.

[bygdawg]

Coop,

Sounds like you've had some experience with that. :crackup By the way, I'm going to put you in charge of bringing the music next year, as Chris is no longer reliable. ;)

[Austin city limits]

I am singing all 3 verses of "King of the Road" next year... Try and stop me,,, I dare ya... :bigpop:

[Coop]

Coop,

Chris is no longer reliable. ;)

Chris has never been reliable, but he's a Boy Scout compared to me. I wasn't even potty trained until I joined the Marine Corps.

You were in the Marines??? :eek: Speaking of arms of service, I saw the funniest sticker on a student's car today. It stated:
Tattoos...Not just for sailors and whores anymore. :crackup I tell ya...sometimes these kids kill me with their slogan shirts and bumper stickers.

Just one question...Did you happen to go to Billings before heading back to TX, and is this what you meant by "getting silly after half a beer"? :crackup

http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/04/14/news/local/28-naked.txt

Apparently, this is one way of getting someone's attention.

Police in Billings, Mont., were called after a naked man brandishing a handgun ran through a hotel asking for help getting into his room.

First, the man knocked on several doors, then jumped over the check-in counter at the Comfort Inn.

Not surprisingly, police say, the man was intoxicated.

Had this happened in Casey, Shelly would have handed him his head....:cool:

She is one tough lady, you should see her handle Coop...
