FROG MAN Posted August 15, 2010 #1 Posted August 15, 2010 We made it home at 12:30 afternoon. 100 miles of rain and wet road but no problems. A great time as always now just waiting for others on the road to chime in safe.
Skid Posted August 15, 2010 #2 Posted August 15, 2010 The rest of the West Virginians are home too. The first part of our ride was a little wet, but after we got into Virginia it was beautiful. I had this "Pesty First Genner" that kept buzzing me, but I later showed him that I wasn't born yesterday. In a nutshell, he learned he wasn't always the fastest...... more of the story to come! Anyway, it was a great time and everyone really enjoyed it...Thanks Randy:clap2:
ADC Posted August 15, 2010 #3 Posted August 15, 2010 Got in about 3 had a few miles of light rain then just cloud cover to about Raleigh that kept the temp down.Had a great time,it was great to meet a few new people, now it's time to go back to work.

BOO Posted August 16, 2010 #9 Posted August 16, 2010 Made it home last night about 8:30 or so..... about 750 miles and 14 hours on the seat.....no rain...... couple of nasty traffic jams around the Chicago area...... hot most of the way but ended up stopping 25 miles from home and putting on a sweat shirt..... Great time Great people Great roads See you next time, BOO
mini-muffin Posted August 16, 2010 #10 Posted August 16, 2010 I had this "Pesty First Genner" that kept buzzing me, but I later showed him that I wasn't born yesterday. In a nutshell, he learned he wasn't always the fastest...... more of the story to come! Well we had gotten off and were headed back up (we spotted a bike and a trike on the side of the road, were going back to see if we could help) On our way back by we noticed a tow truck so we headed back around on our way up the off ramp we saw three bikes. So we got back on and headed off to find these bikes. Muffin on his 650 and me and Riderduke on the 2nd gen. We catch these three bikes and who was it you ask.................................Well it was Skid, Yammer and Dan. So we caught them easily. Guess they couldn't have been going that fast. Margaret

Margaret Yeah that MPG really sucks over 100 MPH!!
Skid Posted August 16, 2010 #12 Posted August 16, 2010 Yeah that MPG really sucks over 100 MPH!! I didn't think you could get your ole girl above 100?
Yammer Dan Posted August 16, 2010 #13 Posted August 16, 2010 I didn't think you could get your ole girl above 100? Keeping her under 100 is where I start to have problems!!
FROG MAN Posted August 16, 2010 Author #14 Posted August 16, 2010 I understand Dan. It really sucks getting less then 100 miles out of a tank of fuel. I ran out of fuel twice on the 84.
Venturous Randy Posted August 16, 2010 #15 Posted August 16, 2010 I got home about noon yesterday and unloaded the trailer and went to Gatlinburg. I needed a day of vacation to get over my vacation with you guys. Wow, what a great time. RandyA

Skid Posted August 17, 2010 #17 Posted August 17, 2010 Mark, Glad you and Mary had a good time, it was nice meeting both of you. As for Yammer, I had to put him in his place on the way home, which was way back in the distance.....

Yammer Dan Posted August 17, 2010 #19 Posted August 17, 2010 OK OK I'll admit he caught me napping. At 115 with traffic coming up and only a front brake a 2nd Gen got me...... No excuses..... When you ride a 2nd Gen you got to take what you can get. NEXT TIME!!
Skid Posted August 17, 2010 #20 Posted August 17, 2010 When things are real close you can't see them in your mirrors!! Then why was you so far back in my mirrors? Admit it, you've already said you was out foxed. Remember, I've been raising thoroughbreds for a long time....
86er Posted August 17, 2010 #21 Posted August 17, 2010 I got "mapquested" by my gps for some reason that I don't quite understand. I left the KOA and went over the mountain into Henderson. The reason for that is that just as one comes into Henderson there is a Jack In The Box! For those that are not familiar with Jack In The Box, they have fried tacos that are awesome. They pull the prepared taco shell with the meat in it out of the fridge and drop it in the deep-fryer, then pull it out and add a slice of cheese, lettuce and taco sauce. The center stays nice and greasy while the outer edge is really crispy! As I said, they are Awesome! I was good; I stopped at 6. Anyway, I left there about noon and my gps took me a long ways south, as far as Athens for those of you that know the area, then west, when I finally told t to use highways it shortened things up with I-85. Most of it was on 4 lanes with lots of stop lights. It really sucked! Oh well, I made it home at about 7:00 after stopping at Radio Shack to have my smart phone worked on. A great time at the rally was definitely had by all!!!
1rooster Posted August 17, 2010 #22 Posted August 17, 2010 OK OK I'll admit he caught me napping. At 115 with traffic coming up and only a front brake a 2nd Gen got me...... No excuses..... When you ride a 2nd Gen you got to take what you can get. NEXT TIME!! Why would you even need a brake at 115..And exactly what was you doing behind a 2nd gen at 115,trying to catch up?
Yammer Dan Posted August 17, 2010 #23 Posted August 17, 2010 Why would you even need a brake at 115..And exactly what was you doing behind a 2nd gen at 115,trying to catch up? I done admitted he caught me napping.
1rooster Posted August 17, 2010 #24 Posted August 17, 2010 I done admitted he caught me napping. You don't need to be napping at 115..Pay close attention.
Skid Posted August 17, 2010 #25 Posted August 17, 2010 You don't need to be napping at 115..Pay close attention. Very well said, thank you Rooster. He may have the hole shot, but I believe I have the top end....
