Oh brother. I knew that last pic was coming. Took you long enough. So, when are you putting your bike up for sale to get Karen that ring?
I didn't take very many pics either, but I'll post them tonight.

Well dear, wish you coulda been there. After approx. a month since the Raid, I'm getting around to posting some pics from the event. No doubt Freedom's demise took the sheen off of what was otherwise a wonderful time. Now that we all know Freedom John is well on his way to recovery, I thought it good to celebrate the 2009 Nelson RAT Raid with a few pics.
Well... a new T-Bird showed up.
And there was this bike of the one and only Zman. Nice bike Z!!
On the day after arriving and meeting and such... the motley crew did a ride through God's country. Freedom took the pic otherwise from l-r you see Friar, Rene, Z and me.
And here at a stop, we see Freedom sharing a smoke with Rene (the fastest Frenchman in the world!!!)
Meanwhile back at RAT headquarters there's a veritable orchestra of Trumpets. Like this one...
This one (nice paint)...
And this one...
But there were a lot more than just those (Freedom's bike in the foreground, Friar's next one back...
And others...
It's the last day. Here we are at the banquet but there is someone missing... Freedom is up in the hospital after his accident earlier on. However we have from l-r, Friar (late from attending at the hospital), Bob (dude with the RAT T3), award winning Z, me (the one and only) Rene (the fast Frenchman), and Darrow (my main riding buddy, but no Triumph...what's up with that?)
And finally, the highlight of the entire extravaganza (for me anyway), is this... the Goddess of the occasion posing upon my steed. Ahhhh, 'twas a time to remember.
Let it be known that we were Triumphant over all!!!!! 
Live to love, love to live.
