Meeting Recap- March 29, 2014

Nine members took to their cars to make it to the meeting on this rainy Saturday.

The meeting started with a reach back in time for an early Baloney Shop with Ken Klaus presiding, with the subject, "Roomies".

From there the group went on to dicussing potential routes for the "Cherohala Ride". scheduled for April 12th. They settled on the route that follows the Ocoee to Greasy Creek, then up through Reliance to Tellico Plains. The route then calls for a round trip on the Skyway with a stop in Robbinsville for lunch. After returning to Tellico Plains the trip home will be down TN 68 etc.

An overnight trip was scheduled for May 16th (p.m.) and May 17th, camping at T.W.O.s Friday night. Saturday will be a Forest Service Road exploration by those equipped for gravel roads and mountain backroad riding for more street-oriented bikes. There will be more information on both these rides as their dates approach.

They had a discussion of the differences in fixing flats on tubed and tubeless tires. This was supported by a video from U.K. showing a preferred method of getting a tubeless tire repaired.

A number of short motorcycle videos were shown and a few humorous ones, capped by one that followed a GoPro camera accidentally dropped from a small plane. The camera landed in a pig-pen where an ever hungry pig attempted to eat it. It was all on the video card.

The meeting broke up around 11;15 a.m.

The next meeting is scheduled for April 26th, again at 9 a.m.
