I'm going up to Washington, DC this Tuesday. I still haven't been able to get in contact with my friend, and neither has my best friend that I'm going with been able to get in contact with him either. Did you understand that, I barely did...that came out kind of confusing...anyway, I don't know how I'm gonna get the bike down here, it's a 13 hour drive and we're (best friend and I) supposed to drive back with our lady friends. Maybe I'll get her on the back, but I don't see how anyone could be passenger on a bike for 13 hours. Gonna try and get a trailer hitch on the SUV we're renting, but I don't know if we can do that or not. I'll find out Monday when I rent it.
