I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I called the shop to check the shipping status of the cdi. He said to check tomorrow. Either way, I'm still game for breakfast Friday morning.

Day 2: Breakfast will be at Burgers and More on Mountain Pine Road around 0830. We will then ride up to Petit Jean to the car museum. Guaranteed to be another awesome day. All stragglers welcome to join in at any point.

It was great to meet you guys. You are as good of people as a fella could hope to meet. It was great fun. Its been a 900 mile weekend for me and I haven't even headed home yet.
you guys love to ride and are damned good at it.

Great to see you all again last night after two years. Those cabins are sweet, if a little hard to find. Next time, I'll bring tasty beverages for everyone. Perhaps I'll show up in a Slingshot. I'd be interested to know if the party crashers showed up again after dinner. Safe rides home to all.

Came back with Dave fine through some beautiful roads. My thoughts though are with Paul and a speedy recovery.
As usual, the rally was outstanding and company even better. I always enjoy hanging out with you guys.
Thanks Donny and Kent for going the long haul with Paul.

Just got in the door. My boy and I took a different way home and meandered around some more mountain roads. All in all about 13 hours in the saddle. My boy enjoyed himself a lot! His first real road trip and Dad beat the crap out of him, and he kept on ticken! Darn shame to hear about Paul. Sounds like it's minor. Hope so.

Had to check this thread to see if everyone made it home safely. Sorry to hear Paul laid his bike down. Hopefully, he'll be okay. Would like to thank Chad for stopping by the store and introducing himself. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to join you guys next year. Perhaps by then, the cdi will arrive and will fix the electrical gremlins.  Post pictures and names (real and forum names)please.

Donny, keep us posted on Paul's condition until he can get back on here himself. And thanks for calling me when you did.

I had a bit over 1300 miles on the weekend, but the 20 miles of Highway 9 north of Mountain View might have been the tightest! Chris and I tore that stretch up on the way home, glad we didn't miss it! A must ride route for next year.

Thanks to Charlie and Donny for coming back to the ER to check on me.The main damage is on the tank. I'll see you guys next year or before.

Yep, that was a good time. But then, it always is! And today is the first day in weeks that I haven't managed to get the bike out and ride a little. But then, I'm NUTS! Scrolling through these pictures again, I wonder if I've noticed something. You fella's aren't racist, are ya? I don't seen any pictures of any INDIANS on here!

Donny isn't racist, he was just jealous of your Indian, Rich, and probably left it out for spite.
