We had to make an unscheduled stop in Albany, GA due to a heck of a bad storm that almost blew me, the bike and trailer into a guard rail just a little south of Columbus, GA. I parked it under an overpass near Fort Benning and waited it out for about an hour. Tammy was in the pick-up truck a couple miles behind me.
We made it home safe and sound so it's all good. Great to see many of you at the rally.

Deb and I made it home around 3:00 pm yesterday. Had a nice trip home, no bad weather, thank goodness. Kawhead rode back with us so we just took our time and enjoyed the ride. Todd, Amy thanks for putting on a great rally. We both enjoyed it and it was good to see old friends and make some new ones. Nancy you did a great job on the gravel road proud of you everyone behind you was eating your dust :). Kawhead I still think you should use your flag holder to carry fishing rods . Big Dave good to see you and Dena glad you made it home safe. Long ride too right? CoachA glad you made it back safely and we will talk soon about next year. Hope to see you all again soon.
Ride safe Aaron |

Ingrid Burgman and I made it back to the Pittsburgh area early this afternoon. Took it nice and easy on the way back (just like on the way down), spent Thursday night in Middlesboro, Ky then Friday night in Parkersburg, WV.
Was nice meeting everyone, even though Kawhead, Coach and Tammy and DaveJones and Andrea filled our tent up with about 5 - 6 inches of water on Wednesday evening!! Very nice Rally, hope to everyone at the next Rally. It was nice of Kawhead, Coach/Tammy and Dave/Andrea to help dry everything in our tent.

What type of fairing? You sure I didn't win it, and he just picked it up for me?

I won the Reckless fairing at the dinner. One of a few people that didn't get their number pulled for a lesser prize earlier in the evening. #504 is the real deal.
Tell Ingrid we all said hey!
