        Yeah I've been called worse by better too. Water off a duck's back.....


        I don't know many young men your age that would have tolerated us old farts for four days as well as you did. It was a pleasure to ride with you.

        Yeah well we had a good effort all around. Thanks Randy, thanks Ben, but remember that is the Sally-cam.

        • My favorite line from the whole weekend ( even though The Ben Muffler Question was a classic...) was when one of the female XS-ives described the group as " a bunch of old, fat guys riding along with my husband"

          • I'm home! Ran into some nasty weather on Tuesday and Wednesday but got through it ok. Nothing else fell off my bike and the electrical fix held up fine. I got a lot of work in front of me...
            Total miles came in at 1800. I just got out of my wet rainsuit and into a dry martini. Great rally Randy!

              • Glad the fix held up, Mark. Bet it feels good to be home. When is the next one?

                      • So how did the weather go for you all? Looked like you might have had some rain Saturday but sun on Sunday.

                        Again, sorry I didn't make it but my son came home from the Marine Corps.

                            I was fortunate enough to run into you fine folks on Route 100 over the weekend while you were on your way to lunch on Saturday. I was on my FJ1200 pulling out of the Vermont Country Store when you went by. Quite an impressive group. As I was watching and waiting and counting 1100's when woman came up to me and asked " are you with that group" and I told her " no but I will be in a minute ". I just wanted to stop by your site and say as a former owner of a 79 special what a pleasure it was to see so many XS1100's and for a few miles being a part of your group. Thanks for making the weekend "special" Rich

                                Apparently he didn't read all of this forum - we take all kinds any time. You are always welcome.
