XS East 14

[ViperRon]

Ok made it home at about 12:30 after an uneventful trip home. It was great roads Darrel and I took to my house and then he went home he should be close by now. Great ridding with you and all the other guys/girls. Great rally

[TopCatGr58]

Hey there folks,

Just a quick note to inform all of my/our safe arrival home today. Ofc it is safer for us since we TRAILER/TRUCK to and from the rally!
George dropped me off at home about 1:30, got all of my junk unloaded from his truck, and unhitched my trailer, and then he left for home, so he should already be there, but may also be unloading/unpacking, as to why he hasn't posted yet.

I'll post some photos also, and later some youtube links once I get the "videos" processed and uploaded. I was able to rig up a poorman's GoPro, what I affectionately call my Godzilla-cam MkII this year using my GPS holder and a few strategically placed zip ties!
The audio will probably be just wind noise since it wasn't behind any fairing, but you'll be able to appreciate a few sections of the roads we were on.

I actually made it home in time to join the family for a visit to the nephews for the cookout dinner, as part of how we American's experience this Memorial day. So...please take a moment of silence and remember and honor all of the brave veterans that gave the ultimate price for our way of life!

T.C.

What ever you do Brent don't give up on it only 1600 made and as you know it is a tribute 911 bike to your fallen firemen brothers.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for encouragement. Only 1600 made? I did not know this. Where can it be looked up? It is a 2002, the first year a Firefighter special edition was offered. Titled and sold as a "shrine motorcycle" HD used the same special edition program for the shriners, peace officers edition an FF edition.
I thought it may be rare & collectable, but FF editions seem to bring no more than any other similar model in like condition. I like it and it is worth much more to me than any one else.

How is your HD? Overheating is really bad for them. It may have shortened the life of my motor some. I will try to do better next time. Hope yours is fine.

Have fun at XSeast. My wife is having some health troubles, so I am staying a little closer to home lately.

Rebuild it for many more happy miles

Thanks for asking about my old red bike Dean. Marty summed it up pretty well.
But it is at mechanics shop. I am shopping for some good stock take off parts...have a plan to get it renewed.

It was running, started making a pleasant whirring sound like a honda gold wing. I knew something was wrong. Rode in in for checking...need engine overhaul. This will take a while. Wife said "You need a new bike..." Sometimes I can be agreeable.

I have had so much fun at XSeast in the past, on that old bike and in that area... I may have worn it out, but I had fun and I want to do it again.

Y'all have fun & keep the shiney side up.
Miss Ya'

George, my cell is 304-575-0095. If you could call me when you get up, that would be cool. I know you probably wont see this in time but I should be there pretty early. Thanks.

[jjz28]

Jeff, kickstand up at 9. Show up early and I'll help you sync it.

Right now we're sitting behind the pool drinking adult beverages.

I'll be there early, Don't know how I'll find you guys, I was so tired when I got home, I didn't get anything ready or clean the bike so I will do it all this morning. see you soon.

[GLoweVA]

What time are you guys leaving in the morning? I guess you will be leaving from the motel? Thanks. I haven't got to do any cleaning on my bike so it looks like crap.
