      • Wonderful weekend spent with everyone, as always. Thanks to all involved.

        Coming home, Marty and Sally didn't hear my stupidly loud horn as I stopped for gas, with all that electronic stuff going on in their ears. Then we just somehow just didn't find each other.

              Made it home at 7:45pm Scenic route on OH 800 and 26 was certaintly worth the extra couple of hours added to the trip. Much cooler than yesterday with a little rain, Much light traffic, except for last 200 miles. Total miles for weekend was 1715. Next "to do" - Brakes & oil change

              Another great rally! Even better than expected. Thanks to host, route planners, road captains and all who attended.

                • Made it home at 3 after a zig zag route north through Amish farm country. Didn't get held up by any parades either.
                  Thanks to all of you for your kind words and for showing up for this rally. Marty and I appreciated the enthusiasm everyone showed for our efforts. It was a great experience for me, and if you've never hosted something like this, I highly recommend it. Hope to see everyone again next year.

                    If you can get a pic of the tanker operation in action please post it...especially refueling underway!

                    Have fun and stay safe.

                    Rode partway home with BNE. He topped off his BIG tank & I brought the siphon hose, but we did not get lost and I stopped for fuel with a gallon still left each time.

                    There are some good twisty roads all around that SE Ohio area. Those who miss XSeast miss some great XSives socializing, great back roads, georous scenery, rural setting, a really BIG shovel (in 2012), plentiful & delicious food. ... A world class riding tour at bargain prices. Hope you can make it next year, you might enjoy meeting XSive riders in person.

                    AND No, I did not get The Harley Award. I did get a nice T-shirt though -Thanks Ralph.

                    • Home at 6:00pm would have been a bit earlier but for the traffic in the home stretch. Addie ran great all week end. Hot all the way home. Had to stop for two cooling stops plus 2 fuel stops and lunch at Erie PA.
                      Excellent rally which will go into the record books as the hottest weather so far. Good to see old friends again and meet a few new ones.

                            • Anybody else look at the weather forecast for Cambridge? Highs in the mid 60's-low 70's. ARGhhh!

                              • Mark, It is cooling off here in the 'Nati also. But the weather we are getting here right now is not very condusive to riding, raining, small hail, big drops, not only wet but would feel like a firing squad.

                                I think I would prefer the heat to riding in this.
                                Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
