Next stop was the hotel where they met a sweet reception from a sweet lady missing a few teeth at the super eight hotel. After getting checked in I took them to my house via a nice winding road I call my Maggie Valley since we have no mountains in Memphis. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]. When we got to my house I introduced them to my wife Debbie and while she was getting dinner ready we headed down to the square in Collierville for Sunset on the Square. It goes on every Thursday thru the summer. A great gathering and a Live band. We had a good time here and then headed to the house for dinner.

Here is a couple shots on the square. Left to right, Andy (AK), J.C. (JCZ), Jon(Jonga), and Jack(Jock).

Here is one of the Three Amigo's from California.

I am going to have to continue this when I get in tonight as I'm about out of battery on my laptop and can't charge it here. Sorry [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

.....As we lined up our bikes it made for a nice photo op. So here are the bikes lined up.

For a minute I was thrown for a loop seeing the extra B&B, but then remembered that Jock had joined up w/the "Cali Crew" on the trek back west. Looks like you had another great time meeting and sharing your neck of the woods w/the members here. Can't wait to see some more pictures.

Quickie set-rep.  While having dinner with Arcticdude just a bit earlier this evening JC called.  The troop has made it to Joplin, MO and is stopped for the night.  Sounded like a case of drowned rat syndrome had set in as the weather here hadn't been dry for a few hours.

They have arrived this far though.  They'll even get to sleep in in the morning and recover a bit as its a lunch departure from Joplin tomorrow.  The group will hit Dodge City tomorrow evening after having collected one or two more in route.  Dodge City should see us collect 3-5 more.  So the trip from Dodge to Cripple Creek should be even more fun.

I'm back, sorry about that!

Over dinner we had a good time talking about their ride so far, also talked about our families while JC was able to use my computer to check out this site. They were pooped so I was going to escort them back to their hotel then Jon (Jonga) tells me he has a screw loose. Well, I just met Jon and thought he was fine to me then I realized he was talking about the screw on his shifter! I got him the allen wrench he needed and JC supervised to be sure he got it tight enough. They were able to do some laundry here and by the time they got Jon's shifter tight Debbie had their clothes folded and ready to go. In the morning I will meet JC and bring him to my dealer for a new rear tire which was only a few miles from where they were staying.

Looks like clear sailing once you get to Cripple Creek:

I was able to get off work Friday and show the guys around. I called JC and he met me at the exit and we went to Bumpus for a new tire. I introduced him to the folks there and they got right on his tire. There was a problem getting JC a tire as they were out of stock but located one at another dealer about 30 minutes away. They offered to take us some where for breakfast while we waited but JC and I walked down to a store and got a drink and doughnut there. When we got back we found out the tire they got was the wrong one and had to go back for the right one. By then Andy, Jock and Jon showed up and I asked the service manager if there is any way we could rent a scooter as time was burning up and I wanted to show them the town. Well, they ended up giving JC a scooter free of charge while they work on his scooter! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

We stopped at an Office Max and JC picked up another memory disc for his camera and I realized I forgot my camera at the house. So I'm sorry I don't have pictures of our day around Memphis. I realized I need to update my camera after seeing JC's camera. We stopped and ate breakfast/lunch at Crackerbarrel then went down town.

Took them down to Harbor town and they got some nice pictures on the Mississippi and then stopped at the welcome center to take some pictures of BB King and Elvis statues. It was getting hot as it ended up getting to 101 degrees. After cooling off in the aircondition and some gaterade we swept thru downtown and went to Elvis home (Graceland).

There was an hour wait so they went in line and I went home and would meet up with them tonight to go do Beale street. Usually on Wed. nights they have bikes on Beale where you can park your bikes right on Beale and walk around. We were told they do it on weekends too so after thy got cleaned up we would meet and do Beale.

We had a rain shower move thru as they went downtown but cleared up nicely for the rest of evening. Debbie and I met them across from BB kings place and we ate dinner at Memphis Blues City Cafe. It was happening on Beale as there was a big fight weekend here and they had a prefight on Beale to go along with all the music. We enjoyed the night together and said our goodbyes as they were looking at rain in there forcast for Saturdays departure. I did snap this picture in front of BB King's place on Beale.

JC, Andy, Jon, and Jock, thanks for stopping in Memphis. Debbie and I enjoyed your company and welcome Y'all anytime in the future. May God Bless you and your families as you continue you trip! God's Love to you all! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
