PICs
Here's a pic of all of us at the first stop for lunch at Quinetts:
Here we are at our 1st gas stop on day 2. It was amazing to me how much better the MPGs were for me compared to the highway commute I do everyday.
Here's one with all 6 of the XS11's at our day 2 lunch stop at Steer Steakhouse:
(Bikes from right to left: JetMarty, me, Earl, TC, Brent and Phil's)
I should have taken more pics, but I was having too much fun.
I guess I'm not a newby at this twisty thing anymore!
As a newby I had no idea what the 'Harley Award' was, but I found out.
It just so happened that because I live a little further away from the rally than TC did, I got the award instead of him (again). Next year, I'm planning on riding to the rally instead of trucking it that way I can give up the award to some other non iron butt.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!

Thanks everyone for coming, hope you had a good time. I know we ate well...

I crossed Blood Mountain last night in the dark.
My bike quit running on the way up. Here's Brent troubleshooting the electrics.
Obviously, back in business.
We had frosty mornings.
We had 3 Specials, 2 standards, and 1 Godzilla.
No superslab on the way home.
The group got separated. This is the rest of us.
Stopped here on the way home. Sarah might make the best barbecue sandwich I ever ate.
Rt 58 in VA is nothing short of fantastic.
Thanks for organizing a great rally, Marty!Last edited by jetmechmarty; 05-29-2013, 01:52 PM.Marty (in Mississippi)
