I got home yesterday afternoon; saw a few of you yesterday morning as I was heading out on 19. It was good to get back down to Georgia again, and I had a great time. Big Thank You to Chy and Di for hosting us again, and thanks to everyone who kept things together during the rides. It was good to see all of you again, and meet some new folks too.
Departed Dahlonega at 8am, and made it home by 7pm. Two gas stops and a late lunch/dinner at the Kings Head Pub in St. Augustine. Bobbie departed Dahlonega at the same time, and made it home about an hour after me. She had to go to Tampa and pickup our younger Daughter, and then head East for home.
Ryan and Jennifer found me in Waycross, GA and we rode together until I needed gas just before I-295 outside of Jacksonville.
Again thanks Chy and Di.....

Quote: Home safe and had a fantastic time! Thank you everyone for welcoming a new guy. Y'all are the best group I've ridden with and it was great to finally be able to ride with some other Triumphs! I met some truly great people this weekend and can't wait to see everyone again.
Signed Da new yout.
We enjoyed meeting you. Good to see Will rolling out and Tom in the very southern part of Georgia. Working on several home issues now and wishing I was on way back to Chy and Di. Sigh. Guess I will have to take part in the real world for a while.

after a leisurely trip back dragging the trailer, I am home. thanks everyone - especially paul for all you did at the camp, and Chy and Di for hosting everyone! it was great to put faces (and personalities) with names.
NEWT - bike was rock solid the whole way home - thanks for the advice!
I appreciate being welcomed into such a great group. I definitely plan to come back next year!
WOW!!! what a great rally this was this yr. Paul, once again i have to say youdaman!!! thanks for everything and for being who you are. as usual it was great seeing the usual suspects and really cool meeting some new faces. amazing, this is the first yr i recall where we had no one getting into trouble, everyone road safe and even in the downpours we all made it thru unscathed. big to those who used caution when needed. and to Chy and Di you guys are the best, i mean it, i have known countless people in my life and you folks rank right up there with the very best. everyone ride safe and lets plan on doing this again next yr. I AM SURE IT IS NOT GONNA COME SOON ENOUGH
HEY GUY'S!!! Where's the pictures!?? This was the BIGGEST event in my mundane, pitiful life over the last several years, and the only photos posted are from Chi & Paul. (and my crappy little pics) I would LOVE to get a disc. with everyone's pics on it. Yep, sure would!
No, I don't have FB, but my wife does. But I'm lookin' for a disc with better quality, and all in one place. I guess they can be compiled for a disc off all the separate FB sites, I'll have to check with the smart one in the family (When he visits from Melbourne.)
Di, no need the reply, I got your pm. This is asking of the others. Thanks.
And you may see me tonight
