This, being the first of what will hopefully be an annual event was a GREAT time! I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did. Putting a face and pleasant personality with a forum user name makes the forums even more meaningful. Though there were only nine of us each day, there were a total of five states represented, with RAT member "Denny" riding over 500 miles to get here from Indianapolis. He also had the oldest bike in attendance with a gorgeous '98 TBS. "Tugboat" came with a '14 America over 200 miles from Tennessee, and Gary (GMan - Triumph Tiger 1050 forum) came over 250 miles from PA.
I get to ride these roads as much as I like, living just 10 miles from our starting point, but it was a wonderful time meeting fellow Trumpeteers. We outnumbered the HD's wherever we went, and around here that's a very rare occurrence (...NEVER).
In the end, Bonnevilles won the day.
