Do you think we just could have tied a cart to the back of the Nomad and rode back to the motel?

we made it home yesterday afternoon after driving up the coast of Maine.We managed to avoid rain till half an hour from home, then got soaked LoL .Made a stop at Bentleys in Maine, had lots of fun there and great food.


We had a great time at our first rally , and met a great group of people. Thanks to all who organized this rally and looking forward to the next rally to do this again.

Kevin, it was great to see you again and meet Julie. Good to hear you guys made it home safe. Sounds like you had a nice side trip after the rally.
Hope to see you again soon.

I knew I would forget to mention someone, and I suspect that certain Goldwing rider is not the only one. Thanks Al, even though you deprived us of the fun of watching Norm hook that shopping cart up to this Nomad and pulling it back to the motel. On second thought, probably better that way. I wonder if sticking a paper plate to the back would have passed for a registration.

No kidding. The county I live in is about as big as Vermont or New Hampshire. Doesn't take me long to get through it.

If you had put a paper plate on it Mac would have drawn a face on it and called it "Wilson" He can't help himself.

Is that who put that paper plate with a face on it on the tree? Was it drawn with ketchup?

Don't think I would have needed a plate. I would have had Tom follow me with a rope tied from his bike to the back of the cart for aux brakes and limit fish tailing.
