Asheville - home check-in

[Venturous Randy]

Had a nice ride home across the mountains, took a little over an hour. Laura just yelled down at me to come help unload everything.

What an absolutely super bunch of folks. This was another great get together in Asheville and it seemed everyone had a great time. We had great food, a little rain, great rides with LOTS of twisties, a little rain, great visiting around the campsite, a little rain and more good food and the loudest frogs in the lilly pond I have ever heard. I was not sure at first how many were going to be able to show up, but we had a bunch of people and bikes there.

I will check back later and hope I can get the pictures out of the camera. Thanks everyone for helping Laura and me have such a great time!!!

Mechanic and I had a great time. Great seeing all the "OLD" friends and making new ones.

For the most part rain was a hit or miss, just depends on where you were riding.

We got home safely and dry at 2:00PM. We really had a great time with all the twisty roads, Biltmore House, people, food, campsite.........We want to say thank you to everyone that made this weekend what it was. We especially want to thank Randy and Laura for their hospitality. We went to the Biltmore house with David and Laura and it was amazing. What a great group of people!!!!!!

Just got in about 30 minutes ago. Had to stop on the way to watch muffinman put in a fuel pumpon Art's Voyager and then another stop as Dave and Tim were headed down a different highway. On that stop we had to wait for my clutch line to cool down so I could have a clutch lever pressure to sreak of. Then on home. After can get the pics on the cpu I'll add some pics as my wife took quite a few.

 

Had a ball meeting old and new friends. Its amazing how much more fun it is when there is a group.

 

 

 

Thanks as previous stated to all who had a hand in getting this M&E together.

 

 

And a special thanks to John and Melinda for supplying the last days breakfast.

Got home at 1am this morning after riding to Easley SC with Barend and Brenda. Mileage wise that was farther but speed-wise made it home in only 3 hours.

 

It was good meeting everyone, albeit briefly. I'll plan on camping next year.

[Leo]

Made it home at 10:30 AM. Had a great time with a great bunch of folks. Good food, good folks and good riding....a great combination. Glad to hear that folks are getting home safe.

[FROG MAN]

Long drive we done a detour up part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Had lunch near Mt Mitchell then took the detour north to I81. Great meet in Asheville and a nice campground.

We got home I think about 8:30 had to take care of the dog and cat when I got here. We had a blast as usual. Arthur made the rest of the trip with no more problems. I'll get my pics up later on. Still gotta check out Bobbies.

Glad you amde it home safely Authur. Is Asheville getting a bad place for you to go? I remember last year it was your stator....Thank goodness for Muff being close by.

[Dragonslayer]

I finally made it home just now, it's 2:00 am Monday Morning what an adventure. For those of you wondering the bike ran great all the way home, go figure and i probably got the best gas mileage I have ever gotten. Maybe some thing I did when I was fiddling with it yesterday corrected the problem I had with it on the way up. But, that is not what made the ride home interesting. I'm to tired to tell ya'll about it now. the last 6 hours was in the rain. I'm soaking wet and need to shed this gear. I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

 

But home safe and sound.

[BEER30]

We made in home last night as well around 7:30 . Too darn tired to unload the laptop to post last night . Had a great time as expected ! Thanks to all that put this shin-dig together and that came to enjoy one another .

It was great to see so many friends again and make some new acquaintances, as well! Thanks to Randy and Laura for their incredible hospitality and for making this such a wonderful event.

 

Rode away from the rally with AtlantaDragonSlayer, 86er and Fly-N-Lo. We had a nice scenic ride home and were able to satisfy Todd's craving for tacos at Jack-in-the-Box. We rode together all the way to Clayton GA where Todd and Landon headed west and Bob stayed for awhile to visit a friend.

 

As always, a great time with great people...

Got home about 7:45 last night. Ran through a couple of heavy storm in the Charlottesville area. this meet is always good. I like the unstructured (do what you want) days! This was a great ending to my Vacation!

[SledgeHammer]

I had a great time as usual. How can you not have fun around such a great bunch of people. It was great seeing the old family members and meeting new family members. Thanks Moma Laura and Randy for all your efforts and work. It was an excellent get together.

[86er]

Landon and I hit the Atl area about 6:15pm Sunday and I rolled into the garage around 6:45. I unloaded the trailer and rolled it outside for the night just as it started to sprinkle. I shut the garage door and let the storms roll through!!!

 

Landon and I only made it to the rally for one, count 'em 1, night but it was well worth it. It was great seeing everybody! And the Jack In The Box fried tacos were excellent, I even think that Blackjack found that they are good! Hey Muffin, we may have a new convert!!!
