  • Got home safely also. Bike was leaking a little gas at the cowshed, but I was able to tighten up the fuel line and no more leak. Had a great time meeting a bunch of really great people and plan to attend more.

            • Is it over already?

              Me, Brent's Bro Jon, and John(Oldbiker) made it back home safely, Oldbiker a bit earlier, Jon around 6pm, me at 6:30pm.

              Glad to hear Ralph Meeks made it home safely with his bruises, both him and his bikes!

              Hope everyone else gets back in good shape and time!

              Had a blast, great to see the familiar faces, and also meeting the new ones! Thanks to MartyA, and Xsivebiker(Tonto), and MadBiker for all their hard work putting this thing, the routes, the T-shirts and doorprizes and everything together to make it a successful Rally, but of course it's the PEOPLE that truly made it a SUCCESS!

              • Dena and I made it home exactly when we figured, at 8pm. Everything was fantastic...Thanks to everyone of you. Met some new friends (and lots of old ones) had a great time.

                I am glad Ralph Meeks made it hame without further ado...I am hoping Brent can squeeze the miles he needs out of that tire.

                Will be checking out a few local places for a PROPOSED New york Rally next year. Lots of scenic..not so much twisty..its all good anyway.

                • Suzanne and I got in about a quarter to 11 in the pm. We were almost the last ones to leave. Got away about 9am. That short cut today is only 671 miles. ( It was a boring as watching cement dry) All super slab!

                  Thanks everyone for making Suzanne at home. I think she is going to have to work on the iron butt.

                  • My butt hurts!!

                    ...I'm home, it's 2:44 a.m. We left at about 8:30 Monday morning.

                    ...After the "Extended Monday Morning Ride", my total miles went up to 1,094 by the time I got home. Guess that puts me in the Ironbutt club since I got home within 18 hours. I never ever want to be a member of that club again (Ironbutt club, that is)!!

                    ...Everyone was excellent; thank you for letting me join. I loved the scenery, I loved the ride. Everybody was really great to hang with. Looking forward to next year -- but I'm TRAILERING damit!!
                    Hope everyone made it home safe and had as much fun as I did.

                    ...gotta go pay attention to the woman now; I think she missed me or something.

                    • Sorry I was brief as I had to go to a family picnic. TC said it, it IS the people that make the rally. The diversity and comraderie are what keeps us coming back, as well as the ride.

                      Glad Ralph made it OK.

                      Thanks again Tonto.
                      I hope to see all of you again soon.
                      Back to work today.

                        • Mike, Rick, and I made it home around 10:30pm on Sunday night. Lots of moaning and groaning along the way. I see a Russel Day-long saddle in my future.

                          Thanks to all the people who organized the rally and those who made the trip.

                            • Hey all:
                              Just got home Tuesday at 5:00. 340 miles to get there and 530 to get home. Hmm. Musta got hooked on the WV roads.
                              I can't believe it's over already. It was great to see everyone again and I hope to see you all again soon.
                              I had a little "incident" on Monday. I pulled in to gas up and when I put the kickstand down i guess it didn't go all the way down. When I dismounted, the bike started falling towards the pump and I couldn't keep it up. The fairing windshield smacked into the pump handle and broke. Its toast. Cracked from the mounting screw to the top. Thank God for duct tape.... Looks like I'm going naked again.
