Gone right some thoughts down later but I have to pull a night shift tonight to payback for one of the days I took off. Thanks youz all for making this trip an awesome adventure and great fun. Dwight and Judi, as always, yer the best. Thanks Mert for the surprise, still (next to the mountains) a highlight of my trip. Chy and Moe and Greg always great seeing you this side of the Mississippi! Each of you, sooo so good to see all of you again and meet some for the first time. FJ, FCtush, Wallrpi, AmyLee and Bob, Becky, Big Bill old friends from my first trip down there. Missing names because I am doing it from a fried memory, but they are all in there and your faces are etched in my mind...really, scares me when I wake up some time! More later. Thanks again so much. And special thanks to my road mates, Big Jack (we have traveled from New York To Arizona together!) and Todd, we didn't kill each other or anyone else...at least none that can be proven! eddy

I had such a great time. I hope this is only one of many meetings. Thanks again Dwight and Judy for being such great hosts, and I want to say thanks to Z for being a great riding partner. I'm glad to be home but sad that it is over. I'll get some pics posted soon. ~Brent ----- "Nothing you can be is more terrible than what I am." ~ 2007 Black Speedmaster!!

Thanks to you and Judie for hosting the Rally. Beautiful pad y'all have. Special thanks to Judie for having a stranger chop chopping away in her kitchen! 6,296 miles in all with two full days in Prescott. Ahhh. Our ride into Prescott was preceded by a Pacific Sunset. A border and customs check point NE of Salton Sea was unexpected...As the Yank Ron would say, "I bet moe was happy there were no dogs!" Funny how phrases from years past and a continent width away come to mind...

Sure, but one of them was in two legs. From Tybee Island, GA to San Francisco, CA AND From Atlanta, GA to Tybee Island + From San Francisco, CA to Atlanta, GA Round trip: Coast to Coast; Twice. Not counting the gulf coast, of course. But then since you already live at the right coast, you did the same, without the broken leg. Last edited by ThomWill; 06/14/2011 5:46 PM.
