Thanks for making the weekend "special" Rich
    Rich,

    I am glad you chimed in, lunch was great!! I was on the Triumph, we had a nice talk at the stop lights! Nice FJ as well.

                  Yep I got directions, Hope one of you guys can drive with a trailer on and remember where I live. You might want to cover it with a tarp so the bike isn't too embarassed. Try to get it here in one piece please. Rick

                            Alright Phil...Just make sure the exhausts are tight After my ride back from Brattleboro I was wishing for a bigger bike...oh well I may just go modern for my next bike....These old bikes are great for rallies but for the real long hauls in comfort nothing beats a sport-tourer..............

                                Vice President ?

                                Hi,
                                Home at last just after midhight. HamJam & I had a long day of driving.
                                All went well. Nowhere near Ottawa so just as well we had directions
                                Bike was ready and it still took an hour to load and meet and greet.
                                Burned our way though $180 of gas.
                                Safely delivered to Rick's house in Hamilton for safe keeping.
                                Am i a Vice President now?
