    You give us hampton roads guys enough heads up time and we'll join you. Maybe we can convince Zeston in Ashland and BOYZSBLUE in fredricksburg to join us too. (if they can get their bikes fixed )

      no hills around there that i'm aware of. it's flat and boring or racetracks filled with a$$holes.

            How many XS/XJ11s showed up? It looks like you may have had more of them than we had at XS Southeast last September. I hope we have more this year.

              IIRC...Brent had his Harley, Bohn had his BMW, Poppa Smurf had his V Star, and there were 2 other V twins I didn't look at real close. 17 in all.

                Bob, Arlan, Brent, and Bohn are heading up into Canada today. Harry and I are in Crandon Wisconsin and heading 500 miles to Des Moines Iowa today, then I'll head the other 700 miles home tomorrow, splitting off from Harry in Kansas City.

                Thanks again for the hospitality, Ken.

                        Well, it was only 560 miles or so today, not 700 like I was thinking. Then I stopped in and talked to Doc a while and he adjusted me and got the knife-blade from in between my shoulders taken out.. lol.

                          Cool I thought about stopping in there on the way back but I was dripping wet so I kept on riding.

                            Here's a few pics taken from the rally. I didn't get that many for some reason..

                            Ken poured gas all over this pile then went to light it. He took the gas back to the garage, then his dog followed him back to the wood pile.. saw he was about to light it, then changed his mind and walked away. Smart dog. lol. I thought I'd at least take pics for the burn clinic to analyze..



















                            Downtown Hayward next morning.









                            On the road...









                            Greg and Harry showing some love.









                            Peter riding Gary's bike.









                            Peter and Amy at the lookout where we stopped. Awwwwww....









                            A different angle of the bikes.









                            Papa Smurf by Lake Superior.. Brake light out. This is right after I blew out my exhaust gasket.









                            Sorry, but with carb and exhaust problems, that's all I got. Had a great time meeting new ones and seeing old ones. What do you all think about a ride up into the upper peninsula of Michigan next year? We apparently have a sucke.... ummm.. I mean a tour guide lined out? lol.
