I know it's still a bit far out but have you guys been looking at the weather? It will change I'm sure but right now they're calling for 60% chance of rain on Friday and Saturday.

Looks like the rain chances are dropping. Occasional showers now but temps in the 60s and 70s. Should be great riding. Sorry I will miss it.

Sounds to me like "Rally envy". Too bad you don't own a mc, John. Maybe your buddy, Tom, will lend you one for the weekend.

Wish I could attend the rally. You guys have fun and ride safe. Also, it wouldn't hurt to post pictures of the rally for those of us stuck at work.
Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

I'm home too. I had a blast drinking Yota's Rum too except I GOT blasted  . Paul and I almost made a bike exchange where we were talking about a straight swap; his Thunderbird for my Rocket. That was pretty exciting for a while, wasn't it, Paul? As always, it was a great time and great riding.

Yeah it would have been a great deal for me. Sadly, 850 lbs. is a little too much for me to maneuver around town 
It was a great seeing everyone again and spending time with my ba.com friends. Too bad we don't to get to see each other more often. I'm glad everyone made it home safely except for Thom and Nina who are still on the road.

Made it home, myself in one piece. The bike, on the other hand, took a spill on N at 21. Late turn onto N which resulted going off-roading. Able to get it home. Will take a damage inventory this week. Other than that, I had a blast! Great seeing Paul, Donny, Charlie and meeting Thom, Nina and of course Yota! Big Thanks to Dave and Chris for helping me out!

Made it as far as Pell City, Alabama. Several hours of wicked cross winds between northeast Arkansas and Tupelo, MS. Will finish it up in the AM. Great time seeing old friends and meeting new. Nina took lots of pictures... Will post when we get home.

Pics get boring. Just a bunch of nice bikes, and folks smiling. Gets kind of irritating. Especially if you didn't get to go. Or get one of those collectible rally t shirts.
