  • MaximPhil sorry to hear you had a spill and hope you're alright. it was nice meeting you. That driveway blew my mind when I saw how steep it was. Up here in the NE no one would have a driveway like that for obvious reasons. Hope you make it home alright. If theres anything I can do pls PM me.

        Gary Thanks for all your planning and genorosity. It was great to ride and hang with you and Bruce...I had a blast. BTW I went to Wenger's website and that watch is their standard issue XL and they list it for $195 So I got one helluva deal there

        • The five of us from Michigan and Ohio got back safe and sound monday. Although it was a short weekend we had a great time. Really enjoyed the ride Saturday (Thanks Gary, Marty) The little SV wasn't the most comfy ride down from Michigan but it was a blast in the twisties. It was good meeting and seeing all once again.

          • I'm in Kuwait and it's starting to feel like my 2nd home, even though I'm sometimes here more than my own house. (the maid service is better here)

            MaximPhil is still in GA as far as I know. My cousin, Jeff (orange GoldWing) came and picked him up off the driveway and they headed off to Road Atlanta together. I expect Phil has a few bruises. We may not hear from Phil until he gets home after the weekend.

            What steep driveway?

            Thanx again to Gary for leading a great ride, and the rest off the gang for showing up and making this event happen.

                        Hi Dean! No, Sally had to work, but generously allowed me to go with Canada Phil.

                        I didn't have a good time at all, as I reported to her upon my return....

                            • NYPD - he's fine. He called me on layover in Buffalo on his way home, aches but OK. He may go back go back down for the Florida mid-winter rally.

                              • Rode down with Canada Phil on Friday, did 806 miles in 15 hours. Only one encounter with a NC LEO on Friday, 75MPH in a 40 MPH zone and construction, we chatted for a bit and then he sent us on our way without a ticket or warning...

                                Phil was staying so I left Monday morning alone in the rain, heading to VA to visit my little sister for the day, then home on Tuesday. Round trip 1,876 miles.

                                I managed to get a couple of photos:
