        Arrived home at 2pm...just getting unwound now...1103 miles in 4 days..not the most by far but good enuf for me. W.NC and the Iron Horse are just excellent. Bombing down the Cherohala yesterday was the pinnacle of the rally for me...fast sweepers and tight corners...what a blast. So great to renew old friendships and create some new ones as well. Already booked for next yr...can u tell I loved it??? Pictures soon

              Thaks to everyone
              Slow down and enjoy life. If you are in that much of a hurry, you should have left eariler.

                Got home about 5pm tonight, didn't sleep well last night, rather tired now, so will upload photos later, have an interesting story to tell, but want to be able to add the photos to it. Glad to see the others reporting in. Hoping Ray/ELDR and swmbo get home uneventfully on their 3 cylinder V4 bike!

                Gary/Bruce, sorry didn't say much Saturday night, didn't realize you had to leave Sunday am?

                The riding was fun, but wish the cold...not just cool...COLD weather hadn't hit us quite so hard, took some of the fun out of it, but still enjoyed the rides and comraderie.

                Gotta go to work tomorrow...UGH!!

                    • Bne I would agree about the charahola!
                      I got in front with Jeff in his triumph sprint cause I know I can fly on that road. U figured hefe was going to drop the hammer... u was right he opened her up and I thought to my self f it.... I will too. I looked in the mirror and that pesky St bike got smaller and smaller ... along with a certain grey standard..... let's just say I opened her up but still had a teeny bit in reserve...God that was worth the whole trip! Far better than the dragon!

                          • got home today, tuesday. left sunday night after the ride. rode the brp from cherokee to boone. then 81 home.

                            yes it was a little cold but the sun was shining. the xs likes the cool air and all the turns keep the tires hot.

                            • Awesome I was about to ask about you two glad to see y'all made it also Sundays killboy photos are ready Brent is on page 11 and the rest of us look like we are in page 10. However Earl is missing maybe he's in the dresser pics? Kinda skimpy I only found 2 of mine the pics on Friday had tons.

                              • Chris the only reason you and Jeff got away is because you passed this truck that tried to block the rest of us...A-hole tried to block me as i was already passing him...I got by the a-hole and it was another 12 mins before Earl caught up to me...in that time i had the road to myself...If it werent for that truck I'd still be that pesky ST on yur azz
