.. wow! great memory, jet Marty

my total miles went up to 1,094 by the time I got home.

ok, i'm bad with math, even more so at 3 something in the morning and after such a long ride. after a recount my total miles from Pie'nvull WV to home was only 1,012
.. MartyA is my hero, that guy is a madman in the corners, and two up even!
.. this ride was a real class act, the people who put this on knew what they where doing. i hope the same people are throwing the ride again next time.. great job to you all and thanx again for letting me be apart of this.

I sent sixtysix the revised list, hope he didn't head off to work.
Had a few mixed and then I fixed it, then mastan was left out then I typed him in wrong and then I just said the heck with it...
Sorry Mark...

I had trouble, but I finally downloaded it using the IE browser.

I got the first zipped file without a problem.
Is the "new list" a corrected version and where is it?

**GNEPIG** · 06-03-2006, 04:51 PM

I screwed up a couple of entries, and discovered it after I sent the first version to Gary. Then I sent the revision and Gary replaced the first file with the second one, which you won't notice since he didn't change the link just the file on the server.

Seems my Mozilla is having problems recognizing my own file.

We did have some nice bikes and the count was very close for some of the bikes. With just a couple of votes different it could have gone a couple of ways.

I think everyone wins at these rallys, and I wish everyone could win an award. I think we had a great time, we had a great group, we had good timing, we had great weather, and we had great roads. So we all win!

The Trip
All in all, we plugged our tire six times on our trip. Three of those times were on Monday. It was very frustrating. We would have to pull over, find the hole, plug it, and then hope that it would stay. This may not sound too difficult, but let me remind you that it was all done in the ninety degree sun. We really took a leap of faith when we plugged the tire, but what else could we do? There were no tire shops open. We had to stay the night in Virginia. We got up Tuesday morning and found Suzuki Mountain Tire and got a new tire. So we finally made it home Tuesday night at about 6:30PM.
Once, when we pulled over for the third time on Monday, two kind locals stopped to help us. One was Bob Goodman, a fellow rider. Bob was kind enough to drive his pickup truck to the convenient store to purchase us some more plugs, as we were out. Another lady whose name still remains unknown to me stopped and offered to let us use her cell phone. However, it was of no help because even the best of connections don’t work when you are in such a rural area as we were.
To answer many of you all’s questions; yes we made it home safely. Thank you for your concern.
