[rickyboy]

Ah ....looks pretty boring to me....I doubt I'm missing much.:ohno:

:cry: :hmm: :cry: yes I'm joking !! I'm jealous and wishing I was there with everyone. I'd rather be there than driving moving trucks and moving shit .
:yep: Ride safe everyone and have a great time. Didn't any Canadians make the trip??? :hmm:

[waterman]

Didn't any Canadians make the trip??? :hmm:

Nope.

However, the peach pie is long gone with a few hangovers from it.

[sly]

NOT TRUE, TC is an honorary Canadian ... :lmao: That's my Canadian flag on his Nomad (well his flag now) :shrug:

[Rasta]

Great pictures TC and Kris!! Thanks for sharing them!Here is a couple I took.

[Rasta]

[cnc]

Nice pics Kris, is that first one a pic of the original prototype for the Victory?:lmao:
last National there were 12 of us Canadians, this time we just pooled all our gas money and sent Tim.:tehe:

[Monkeyman]

It looks like there were/are only 7 bikes that showed up. What's up with that?

[Netnorske]

A few more from today....all in Rocky Mountain National Park.

[Top Cat]

thanks Tim How was the ride out?

the ride out was interstate :zzz:
Got rained and lightninged out one day but other than that good riding weather. we made it a day earlier than we thought. Took us 4 days.

Yes Sly gave me that flag in Pennsylvania right after the induction ceremony and singing of the Anthem :D

I hope you guys know how much I appreciate it. I'm trying to have enough fun for all of you :yep:

There are a lot of bikes here we are to busy taking pics of the great scenery. We figure you know what a Nomad, Harley and Victory look like :ohno:

[Rasta]

Sunday dinner and others



Ok TC I am done high jacking your thread :)

[ringadingh]

Great pics everyone, hope your all having a great time.

[Top Cat]

Some pics of Cindy and my 290 mile solo ride today.

[ringadingh]

Nice pics Tim, Hows the weather out there, its been pretty hot here, anywhere from 85-95 the past few days.
How long did it take you to get out there?

[Top Cat]

More from today

[Eagle Eye]

I think we all appreciate the good pics TC. And yes I'm a bit sad I couldn't make it. Hope you all have a great time & a safe trip home.
:cheers:

[Chili]

I knew I should have avoided this thread and petenomads facebook page. Hope everyone has a blast.

[mobandy78]

Keep the pictures coming! Although it does make me sad I couldn't make it. Have a safe trip home!

[blowndodge]

You guys missed one hell of a ride!! Couldn't have been a better rally!:tup: I will miss all! :(

[sly]

I'm sure we did Brad, I wish I could have been there. Hopefully we will be at the next one.
For those of you on the road riding home, ride safe.

[Todd]

Yep..looks great. Wish I could have made it too. You all be safe in your travels back home. Joel, I will wait by the mailbox for a sample of the peachpie flavored mountain water.

GR8 shots guys....wish I could have made it...
What, no Goldwing pictures?????? LOL
:)

[rickyboy]

I too wish I could have made the ride. I'm sure a good time was had by all. Maybe next National. I hope we can have the next national a little closer to the west coast ....maybe even in Canada.
Ride safe everyone. I hope someone starts a "Home safe and sound" thread so attendees can post on their safe arrival home.

[dank]

Maybe next National. I hope we can have the next national a little closer to the west coast ....

Colorado isn't typically thought of as being on the eastern seaboard...just ask Tim once he gets home. :yep:

[Top Cat]

.I hope we can have the next national a little closer to the west coast ....maybe even in Canada.


If it gets any closer to the west coast you can bet I won't be there :ohno:
1800 miles one way is as far as I'm going.

:D Yeah your right about that Dan.
That's why they have the rallies inland a ways so everybody might be able to attend.

[cnc]

The reality is it is a big continent. Both Cluster and this one were closer to the west coast the from the East coast. Even Maggie Valley which on paper may look like it was in our back yards was 1200 miles from here.

[Netnorske]

Getting back to the regularly scheduled thread topic....Tricia and I spotted these bad boys feeding off the edge of the road along Hwy 14 near Cameron Pass! They were awesome to see. The one on the right was a big trophy shooter for sure...:tup:. This place is spectacular...:yep:!

[elvis]

Nope.

However, the peach pie is long gone with a few hangovers from it.
Hard to believe, there was so much excitement and yet no Canadian showed up, eh?

[Top Cat]

Closing Dinner pics

[Top Cat]

more pics

[elvis]

Tim, thanks for the pics. Which Nomad did you ride, the '08 or the '07? Have a safe ride home.

Not by much Norm. The last National at Maggie Valley would have been 1300 miles for me. Crescent City was over 1400 miles for me so it isnt far from being in the middle.

Very nice pics!

[a340driver]

Thanks for thinking of us Tim .. Happy Trails !!

[rickyboy]

My comment about having the nxt National closer is just wishful think'in on a count of me having trouble riding the longer distances with these knees and hips of mine. I'll be doing my best to make a regional and the next national.
As a side bar....
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to try and arrange a regional for the Western Canada region for next yr. . I'll try and get something happening as the season ends and winter sets in.

Oh !!! and thanks again for the photos I'm sure there'll be more to come from others. Sure wish I could have made it there.

[Top Cat]

E, I rode the 08. I sold the 07.

Some pics from my trip into Wyoming and South Dakota.

There is a photobucket account set up for the National if you'd like to contribute there.

For some reason my pics do not load there.
I will just keep loading here as my pics now are of my ride after the rally.

[schoeney]

Thanks for the pics Tim

[Top Cat]

Mount Rushmore viewed from Iron Mountain Highway.
Going there tonight to see what the light show thing is.
I hear it is no where as good as the one we saw at Crazy Horse last night.

[elvis]

Because your footer still shows the 07, I just wondered...

WY and SD, two favorite states of ours, the Crazy Horse is quite amazing, isn't it? There was an Indian bike in 2011 where you probably took the photo of that "ambulance" bike. Did you see the Devil's Tower?

You guys covered a lot of miles in this trip. It must be time for routine maintenance.

Thanks for the photos.

You are right Elvis. Tim will have a colonoscopy and change his Depends at 3500 miles:lol::wave::P

[blowndodge]

OMG I just shit my pants!:lmao:

Oh sure, now that we have met in person you see what a frail old man I am so now you feel comfortable in bustin my balls like some of these other so called "friends" of mine :wtf:

E, we saw Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower, Bad Lands, Iron Mt Road, Crazy Horse and Custer Nat Park.
Going to Iowa today to see National Motorcycle museum and then on to see the store from TV of the pickers show.

Hey Tim, glad you are enjoying your trip back home nice and slow. So, what did you think of Iron Mtn Road? That is probably my favorite road in the hills.

[cnc]

:DThose must be some long range depends. I remember when my kids were little the diaper box only said good for 18-20 pounds.

[cactusjack]

:DThose must be some long range depends. I remember when my kids were little the diaper box only said good for 18-20 pounds.

But they wouldn't hold more than 7 or 8 pounds before they overflowed. What's up with that?

Sounds great!

Is Milwaukee, WI on your route riding back home? There's a museum (http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/HD_Museum/museum.html)there, too.

Ride safe :tup:

Sorry about the blindside Tim but Elvis just teed that up perfectly and I couldn't resist.:tup:

You have seen a lot on this trip. I would be curious when you got home to hear your "ranking" of your trip highlights. Best roads, best town, best landmarks, etc.

Ride safe and it was great meeting you and Cindy.

P.S. Could you keep those noisy pipes down. Those are loud next to my bike.

[Top Cat]

We saw the National Motorcycle Museum and stopped at Antique Archeology yesterday.
Not real impressed with either.
National Motorcycle Museum does not even come close to the Barber museum in Alabama and the Antique Archeology store is way smaller than it looks on TV. Of course Danielle was not there but didn't expect to see any of the TV people
Will post pics when we get home.
In Illinois now and heading home. Going to get our asses wet today and tomorrow for sure :ohno:

[Top Cat]

Got home today. Only got rained on twice for a short time.
Going to post all my pics on the site Jared started if I can figure out how. :ohno:

[cnc]

Glade you guys got home safe Tim.

[Top Cat]

Thanks Norm.
