I plan on heading out Friday AM. 93 to 97 to 96 to 89, a fun ride
Should get the new tires scuffed up pretty well

I will be heading down sometime mid-day Friday - have to get paid Friday morning and do a little work before I head out.

See you all soon!!!!

PS: Just looked at the NWS - we are supposed to have chances of thunderstorms and showers thru Friday - Flagstaff may still have some lingering on Saturday. Temps look great - mid 70's to mid 80's depending on the elevation. Today we got clouds and a little thunder, only a few drops literally, but it cooled off this afternoon from about 80 at lunchtime - awsome!!!

To the SWTF Bunch, have a great ride this year, hope to join you for the next event in 2010. AmyLee is in the air at this time on her way to Charming Clovis New Mexico to be with her granddaughter for a month. I'll be thinking of you all, while on tomorrows ride, I'm doing a small ride to Jamestown, ca. with my fellow (SOT)Sons of Thunder CMC group.

Bob

Hey guys, know that though I will be working all weekend, I'll be thinking of you all and missing ya!

We missed all who did not make it this year. We understand that sometimes life and circumstances interfere in our riding time, but don't expect ant sympathy from those that made it!

It rained on me most of the way from Flag to Prescott yesterday and my raingear (thanks to Eddie) came in handy.

Today's ride was altered to go south and west instead of north and east to avoid the weather and we lucked out. Had an awsome day! We will see see what tomorrow brings.

Keep the shiney side up.
Becky

Excellent. We need lots of pictures.

hope you all have a great & fun filled rally...

perfect weekend, ride to Prescott to attend the 4th Southwest Ralley with other Triumph riders and then attended a bike ralley sponsored by AZ Superbike, we went for a ride and ended up at Flicka's where we got to watch Savage Lin in action ! He was rated third in Individual FreeStyle XDL...... wasn't chopped liver getting to see a $43K Ducati to top it all off. thought I'd share the pictures ......click here:

Just got home.
A great time was had by all.
Including those of us who did ride through rain to get there .

Thanks a bunch Dwight, for putting this on

We had an unexpected visitor show up (we think ).

Ian (Dog33) must have been in Jerome. We couldn't find him, but this has to be his bike..
Doesn't it?

Rock, paper, scissors....two out of three to let Mike come back.







Adamantium scissors??? WTF!!! Can he do that???





C'MON BACK MIKE!!! DWIGHT CHEATED!!!

Picture from AZ side.
This'll speed things up for the 2011 SWTF.
Completion due date November 2010.



From Nevada side:

I made it home yesterday about 3 pm, only a few more sprinkles just south of Flagstaff, it was a gorgeous riding day!!!

THANK YOU DWIGHT for again hosting. Bill and Mike, as always a pleasure to see you both. And it was great to meet and ride with Jeff this year, and meet a newbee, Sandie and her husband Gary.

I didn't take a whole lot of pictures this year, but will upload them tonight. I will also ponder captions and a story to tell.

Until next year!!!

Becky

Made it back about 5:30pm, 38F coming over Lizard Head pass and new snow around Telluride. Ain't global warming wunnerful?
Thanks again Dwight, its always great fun, especially following the unique leadership of Dwight Argoroundandround.

Looks like everybody made it home alright, huh?!

We may have had a smaller than usual turnout this year, but the folks who showed up once again proved the old adage that often quality beats quantity.

Thanks to all those who made it this year's SWTF, and also to those who showed interest but for circumstances were unable to attend. Hope to see you all for next year's rally.

(I'll post a more detailed recap of this shindig within a couple of days, after I get back to L.A....including the requisite gibes, of course)

Sorry I have not gotten back to eveyone, I have been working on a new deck. Dwight, Thanks as usual for being the host, loved seeing everyone and I loved the ride on Sat. Big Bill, nice pics of the new bridge. Being a little shy of high places though I am not looking forward to using it.

Jeff

Hope everyone had a good time, maybe next year. Didn't make it to California either for the Hanford Swap meet, but I did go to Cottonwood for the Smoke Out. Good thing I didn't commit to the Fest, because my bike is still in pieces waiting on the head from ditchdr. Did see a couple of new Triumphs in Cottonwood.
