Definitely an advantage riding on the back of a bike = Chance of a lot more pics and some pretty spectacular ones I can imagine. Sue does like to take pictures for sure from what I remember

I have been researching for the rally and it seems the only thing I will be interested in is riding to see the scenery,eating and hanging out with everyone again.

The rally is second to me also. Had it not been the friends I've made, the first rally would have been the last one.

The April issue of Road Runner has an article on the Cabot Trail. Mary and I couldn't wait for Spring so we loaded up the Nomad and went down to Georgia and did some riding. Say Pete, are you still wearing your Kawasaki green?

Damn it Dave, you could have swung through NY and loaded our bikes and took us with you. We are sick of this winter also.
