Never A Dull Moment With Gary C
Strange... Gary and I parted company at 50 Rd. in Grimsby. He was going like hell in the fast lane when I last saw him. The man is hardcore.Hi boys and girls
just talked to Gary C on the phone
I really want to hear more about his "off road excursion" he didn't really say much about it other than he did AND his tire blew on the QEW less than 100 miles from home . CAA comes through with a tow to Rosie Toes Bike shop (great guy and place ) new tires a couple of adjustments and he's back on the road He wanted me to let you know about this and to emphasize that such behaviour can lead to compromised tires .... you all know that Gary grew up with dirt bikes ...most of which had no brakes how did he end up where he did ??
he also wanted to say thanks and he had a great time seeing you guys again.
I of course wish I could have been there as well but as the saying goes stuff happens . or words to that effect , this is a family show ...right ?
stay well have a good time but be careful out there
Jim
Did he happen to mention the Alarms in Altoona ? I'm guessing we won't be allowed back there again.
Thanks to all involved with the Rally. It was a blast. The roads are built for bikes.
Thx BDFI May Be Crazy, But I Have A Good Time.

Yes, she likes to take pictures. I do not mind as I get to look back and see the things that I missed during the ride. I am seeing a progression. XSEAST 09 she had 119 photos, XSEAST 10 she had 229, and now XSEAST 11 she has over 300.
And these do not include the ones that she took that did not turn out. I am very happy that we are in the digital age of photography.
I included the links to her past photos if anyone wanted to recollect the last two rallies.

Looks like y'all had a good time.
I recognise that one ol' hillbilly ridin' that Buell with the black duct tape on the bags. That threshing machine actually made it all the way there?
The real tall guy looks familiar too.
I see Ted made it.
I hope to make that rally one year soon.

All the way there & back

Yes, buell bike made it all the way there & back to GA. Custom color matched duct tape held up in heavy rain miles in NC. Wire dry spray sealed speedometer and turn signal switch, preventing a recurrance of fogging and comtinuous flashing I experienced the week before. Going to the rally was well worth the trip.

Finally home, Saturday June 11, 5:30 after some good detours and a little job related work - 4852km
Great trip, good times and the threatening rain held off until I got to my driveway.
Thanks to Darrel and Chris for Organizing
