    Alright everyone, I got back home to Martinsburg around 3:45 this afternoon. I left Ralph's at 1:30 and drove through rain the whole way! Oh well, at least I figured out that my rain gear works well! Haha.

      Hi all,
      Deborah and I had a great time at the rally, Thanks to those who took their time and effort to put this all together. It was really great riding with everyone.

      This is a one minute clip showing the bikes lined up at the covered bridge; XS2009 East, Vermont. Oh and thats FSCGUNSLINGER at the end! LOL

                  I have some video from the Sally-cam. Now this IS an older digital camera. It has seen over 30,000 miles packed on motorcycle trips, been to 20 some states and several provinces of Canada, and in baggage to and from China. So please excuse the quality. I guess I should upgrade after seeing some of the terrific photos the other folks have taken. And I apologize ahead of time for those who I missed.

                  (Note there are a couple of good videos on Dena's real video camera.)

                      Wish I Was There!!!

                      Hi All,
                      I just got off the phone with Bruce Doucette from Nova Scotia. He wanted me to post that he and Dave got home tonight around 6:30 Atlantic time. Bruce also wanted me to add that he rode 3120 Kms(1835 miles Approx.) He would also like to thank Randy and whoever else was involved for putting together such a great rally.
                      I was thinking about you guys all weekend. I wish I was there and I'm glad everything went well.

                        Marty and Sally your vids were fine and particularly got a good laugh from "Ben is Exhausted"...all in retrospect of course...that was a bang up day Eh? Despite the twilight zone of things happening to mine and other XSives bikes this was a most excellent rally and i wouldn't trade any of it
                        except some of those hard bumps and my freaking suck@$$ seat...the rest is good stuff.

                          Here is a little more fun. The audience is chatting away while the gurus are repairing Mark S's tail lights. The repair is going well, but the chatter in the background will give you a chuckle. Turn your sound up all the way to hear it.

                            I set the photobucket account to allow downloads of photos. Let me know if it does not work. Nice vids Marty and Sally! I have not even thought of looking at the video camera yet! Umm may happen soon...ish.

                            I also have Gareth and Randys and Mitch's pics, I am going to make a photo book, if you have photos to include make sure you send them to me or give me a link..
