Fish & Chips thoughts on the rally
This was our first opportunity to organize such an event. After all the rain during the 2009 rally with nowhere to go and nothing to do close by, I thought we would have to find somewhere that has places to go and things to do with optional transportation such as a trolley that turns around at the motel. What more could anyone ask for. Lake George seemed like a perfect solution. It had all these amenities plus beautiful scenery to boot. Fran Cove met all the requirements for holding such an event.
First, I have to thank my wife Elaine (Chips) without her I would not have got back into riding, for putting up with me and probably I wouldn’t even be here period! Second, Elaine (Chips) and I want to put out a very much-deserved thank you to TC & Sarge for planning & leading the rides with all the beautiful scenery, COOL fresh mountain air. OH! By the way Tim you don’t have to wash our bikes, they got washed off on the way home. Third, Come on guys we all have to admit if it weren’t for the spouses we only would have had beer at the picnic. So a special thank you goes out to Elaine (Chips), Laura (Mrs. Sarge) and Mary (Mrs. Onesherpa). Hey, I never did get a smore. Fourth, another thank you has to go out to our chiefs, John (Merri1) and Bob (Beezer) for only lightly burning the dogs and burgers. Hey guys, don’t worry the hair on your knuckles, it will grow back. And finally, if there was anyone I forgot to thank, I apologize but know that your contribution was appreciated. To see a group of people that came from far and wide, most of which never meet one another, could chat, get along and become friends to the point of kidding around in just three days goes to show just how strong our love of motorcycling is and how great each and everyone of you are. You guys and gals are more then just friends; you truly are brothers and sisters. Between all the thank you’s, goodbyes, take care, ride safe and hope to see you soon, as we were waving our last goodbye to Dave and Mary, a dang bug flew in the window and into my eye that caused my eye to water. Till next time, take care, safe riding and we hope to see you all soon. Larry (Fish) & Elaine (Chips)
