[goose]

Deborah & I just made it home, want to again say "Thank You" to all who had a hand in putting this together we enjoyed seeing and meeting good friends!

+We went through Cades Cove after breakfast this morning and almost was breakfast for a 400lb Black Bear....

[bigdave]

Glad you had a good time and made it home safe. Wish i could have made it

[SkinnyPedal]

Sheri and I are home now. Had a GREAT time!!! :cheers:

Enjoyed meeting everyone. Can't wait to see yuns again. The best rally we have ever been to.

Goose/Deborah, wish we could have went with yuns. We would have loved to seen the bear.

As Goose said, Thanks to everyone and all their efforts to make this happen.
Thanks for havin us.

Rick/Sheri

PS. Richard and Ciara, I typed this real slow... LOL

[classic1]

Sheila and I got home about 6:00. 1135 total miles. And again we had a great time. It was nice to see everyone again and meet new people.

[Kawhead]

We took I believe it was 74, with Kawgirl and Trossco, out of Townsend back toward Gatlinburg to I-40 and it was another fabulous ride! :tup:

It was nice to get together with everybody again and meet the new members. I realize we're all at a point in our lives where if it's not one conflict it's another and it's not easy to make an event like this, but man, that was a great time. It doesn't matter what size the crowd is, we never have a bad rally. These rallies are a great place to relax, stay busy or find a happy medium.

Well, I'm a little tired now. The bike's unloaded and some of the laundry is in the machine and I gotta call daddy. Y'all don't forget to call your daddies!

I'll get back later after my nap! :zzz:
And a beer. :cheers:

[VulcanE]

Diana and I got home about an hour ago, (7:45), and wanted to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who took part, and put it all together. We had a great time. It was great to see old friends, and make some new ones.

[nomadtom69]

Got home about 10:30am enjoyed the company of everyone there and the memories we all shared . Hope to meet up again very soon .

[kawgirl]

I rolled into my garage around 8:40 this evening. I had a BLAST at the rally! Thanks to all who put it together! Can't wait til the next gathering.

Goose, I'm glad you guys stayed off the bear's menu!! WOW!

I know Coach and Tammy still have a hundred or so more miles to go at this writing.

Did you use your right hand or your left hand to type this slow message? :lmao:

[SkinnyPedal]

Uuu... Let me check... Right, no lef no no It was Right :P :lol:

[kawgirl]

Oh yeah, my total miles were a little over 1200. Will have to look at the ODO again for exact mileage.

Coach has the run on total miles. Interesting to see what it is.

[nomadtom69]

I actually got in 500 and I live in Maryville thats for Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sun.

[trosco]

Hey all, great time with great folks at great place!!! And that was true for all three of the regionals that I got to on this ride. The perfect end to fabulous trip. Safe and sound in Charlotte NC this eve at 7pm.

[coacha]

We got into the driveway around 11:40PM. Trailer is unloaded and bike is gonna get left outside for the night, too tired to unhook the trailer and move the mower.

Ross called earlier today concerned that we were in a parking lot of a hospital for an extended period of time. Our son lives in an apartment across the street from the hospital clinic and we parked in the lot instead of going down the hill of his driveway. I appreciate the concern for our safety.

I want to thank everyone for coming and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I want to give special thanks to Tom and Goose for leading the rides and coming up with the routes. Thank you to Dick and Cliff for putting up with the slow flatlander on Tuesday. Thanks to Tom, Mike and Shelia for sharing a prerally ride on Thursday morning. Thanks to Ron for finding the Lodge. Even though we were spread out a little, I really liked the accommodations...and we even got to make S'mores! Thank you to Terri and the ROK people for all the freebies and to all of you that brought door prizes.

It was great to see everyone again, meet some new members and make a bunch of memories that will bring a smile to my face for years to come.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and chat in Townsend.We got back to knoxville before noon and took my Dad to lunch for Fathers Day. Later Sunday I took Shelley out to a parking lot for a riding lesson.

How come when I done that you jumped on the Beemer and hauled ass the hell out of the state and didn't call me back until you was three states away? :hmm:

Uuuuuhhhh, Denial will prove fruitless in this case. I have airtight satellite tracking to back me up. Satellites don't lie. :ohno:

:D

I was on the Nomad Mr. Tripp. When I got chosen for the Cape Fear, I didn't realize that it was the same weekend ya'll would be in the area.

OK, so your story is you were on the Nomad at the time in question. Pardon me, I may be mistaken. After I sent you a text that I was coming the next thing I seen was either a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird with the afterburners ablaze headed North on I-95 or an old guy on a Beemer. Didn't get a good look at the face. :shrug:

:D

[coacha]

The KawaTanker did hit in the upper 80's that day...about scared the begeezous out of me.

[Kawhead]

Mines getting an air out today from the little bit of rain that slipped into the saddle bags and the leather trunk bag that got left out in the hail storm. And a new battery.

[nomadtom69]

I will get my new battery put in tommorow or next day

[Kawhead]

I will get my new battery put in tommorow or next dayIt took me all day to put mine in.:D
I get distracted real easily. :hmm:

[nomadtom69]

will probably take me that long after I lose a screw or bolt or two and have to hunt and fish it out.

[coacha]

It took me all day to put mine in.:D
I get distracted real easily. :hmm:

Was somebody cooking S'mores or something to get you distracted?

[Kawhead]

Was somebody cooking S'mores or something to get you distracted?I cain't remeber back that far. Theys a condensed list of stuff that distracts me; women, things that jingle, bright lights and shiny objects. So you can imagine how mind blowing it is for me when (I mean if I was to go) to a strip club.

Speaking of s'mores...........I ate my fair share of those things the other night. I know I counted four so there might have been five maybe six. Two is usually my limit. I drank all of my beer and other folks were donating beer maybe to get me to leave. :P Three large glasses of wine, when two small ones is my limit to put me to sleep. :cheers:

That Key West rally and those mid-Western boys built my tolerance up!:cheers:

See,,,, s'mores distract me.......... from answering the question. :hmm:

:D

Sorry, I didn't see this thread until today.

I got home about 1:30 Sunday afternoon. I had a great ride home over the Foothills Pkwy, the Dragon, and then 28 all the way to Franklin.

I really enjoyed meeting so many great folks this weekend, and I enjoyed the rides and the after-ride socializing! We're going to need some more Voyagers in the group though. There were some really great looking Nomads in Townsend, but I was the only VV.

I'm already looking forward to the next meeting. If we meet in Helen, maybe I can show you folks some of my favorite roads in the area!
