Home again

Hi all, got in around 4:30PM Tue. Over 2K on the clock. Left Mon. with TC, Darrell and group. Now, as a group, we need to chant, Sun up east down west. Split with most of group onto RT220 off I64 with Darrell. Nice route, some twisties some sweeps and some country staights. Darrell just could not resist spanking some "squids" on the way. It has to really hurt when a bike older than you are, ridden by a guy twice your age spanks your butt. Thanks to all who made the rally possibe, it was GREAT. Good to see the old family and new members. Sorry if I did not get a chance to say goodbye to everyone. I miss everyone already. See you next time. Ralph, glad your home and OK.

I just got in at about 8:30 PM. I left Brent and Leanne checked in at the Holiday Inn in Pounding Mill, VA, yesterday. That tire just wasn't going any further. We went on to Blue Ridge Motorcycle Camp.

I wasn't ready to give it up yet, so we stayed on the twisty pavement almost to Atlanta. We hit Atlanta rush hour, so we had dinner in Midtown while waiting for traffic to break. The grand total was just shy of 1600 miles.

Thanks again to those folk who made this possible. It was great!

Busy at work -- -- -- late reply

I made it home on Monday at 10:15 Am, total trip mileage for me was 531.5 miles.
I'm glad you made it home alright Ralph; not to mention not even a night in the dog house! [just kidding about the dog house part]
Ten miles South of Summersville, WV I was cruising 70mph on four lane Rt. 19 when I got passed by a Triumph and an Aprilla - - - - - and they were even ON A TRAILER!!! Those are two fast bikes; I just wonder WHO??? [wink]
Brent; glad to hear that you didn't chance it too far on that tire.
It was a really great rally; thanks to all those who attended.
Ride Safe,
Greg

Sounds Fun

Hi Everyone,
Well Guys! Sounds like another successful rally again this year. I'm sorry I missed it and my old friends. The group picture is great. Some I know, some I don't. Looks like a good turn out. I missed everybody this year, but maybe in July we can have one up here north of the border. We got some nice places and things to do up here. What do you think?

Still XSive,
Wayne Reddin

Sounds good Wayne! Great to hear from you. Hammy told us you wanted to have a rally but I got the idea it was next year. When and where are you thinking?

Best to start a new thread in this forum, this one is already getting too long.

[Scootstado2]

Hey Wayne,

Yeah we missed you this Rally but look on the bright side you would have rubbed your mufflers off in about an hour on the roads around Pineville. I'm good for most of July. The BMW Rally is July 20/23 in VT so that weekend is out for me. Let us know soon.

Just got back, wound up doing a bunch more miles in PA/NY.
It was a pleasure to have finally met everyone in person and to have ridden those roads with you. Thanks to everyone and see you again next time! and Ralph, glad to hear you're doing ok...

[randy]

Rally Plans

"Hammy told us you wanted to have a rally but I got the idea it was next year. When and where are you thinking?"

You're right Gary. It IS next year. I'm thinking July 1st 2007 time frame. I moved to the country(Port Perry, Ontario) so I was thinking of using my place as a hub. I already have a bunch of ideas. Before we get into that I will start a new thread, but not for a while. I still have a few things to think about.

Anyone want a list of attendees? I think I have everyone. If there are more than a few yeahs then sixtysix can post it for download.

If you get it and someone is missing I do have that C.R.A.F.T. thing, so just remind me and I can fix it, er, whatever 'it' is...

Hi Marty

I wasn't thinking of a list of who was there.
(I think I was there! Wasn't I?)

I was thinking, how many bikes and how many people?
That has me curious.

[jeffe]

would love a list

[DeanR]

Yep, I'd kinda like a list too. Anything to help this head keep names straight.
