Dog gone it Eck,, I got up this morning with the palm of my right hand just itching like crazy.. It tends to do that when somethings brewing... Then I find your suggestion posted:cool10::cool10: Personally, I LOVE IT!!! My heart SCREAMS - those Cannonball guys Tip and I followed do it on bikes made before 1929, aint no reason we couldnt do something much smaller but simular.. My brain tells me some other things though.. I have ridden cross country in large groups and know from first hand experience of the challenges involved in doing so. I think doing it would put real limitations on the attendance, the dynamics of the rally change majorly in your idea. Makes it more of a "Run" than a "Rally"..

:rotf: and, seems how we are brothers who exemplify what that patch says :cool10:

GORGEOUS PICS ~VENTUROUS~!! It was great meeting you folks!! My hats off to Mike, Karen and Donna for s job WELL DONE too!! Truer words have never been spoken my friend! Thanks for the thread!! Puc

wow!!!! Gave me motion sickness just watching this!!

Ahhhh,, aint no way aint no how ol Puckster could compete with this one! My old bent up fingers could NEVER operate a fangdangled flyin camera like that!! Matter of fact, I just found out where the ~~~~~~~~~'s are at on my keyboard and THAT took a bit of learning for this ol feller! WOW VnD!! Absolutely beautiful production! Wish I coulda got there in time to just watch your son operate the camera! THANK YOU for this special treat and be sure and tell Steven THANKS too! AMAZING VIDEO!!:dancefool: Puc

Just wanted to touch base with our East Coast members and let you know I am thinking of ya'll!:bighug:Hope everybodys ok out there! Puc

And if you do, dont be afraid of the guy in the pic - he is a really nice feller who DOES own and ride a beeeutiful trike with a new battery!! A little birdie even told me that this Western New York Regional thingy is also going to get an attack from ICELAND!!! If that happens and we are able to get to the Rally ol Tweeks may have another signature on her from a land far far away!! How cool is that!!:cool10: MAN WHAT A SUMMER! Hey Bongo - I LOVE WHERE YOU SIGNED TWEEKS!! Keeps a smile on my face even when leaning out around the shield in tornado weather to see where I am going! PERFECT MY FRIEND - JUST PERFECT!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwww~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sure enough Flyinfool,, old Puc DID learn sumpin new,, NOW your in trouble!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:rotf::rotf: THANKS you ol snow maker you!!

Yea it would!! Another would be the Vegas area,, a full moon nite tour thru Death Valley National Park will send ya home thinking ya done toured another planet!!

Its so ironic you bring that up Jack,, Tippy and I talked A LOT about the difference in landscape between the yellow fields of the dry Cali we saw again this year in comparison to the lush green of the south.. UNREAL!!

Hey Craig - GREAT READ!! Thanks for including us in your adventure!! LOVE THE PART ABOUT GIVING THE OLD LADY A RIDE AND THE WEEEEEE:rotf:!! You da man brother! Puc

*Venturous* (I couldnt find those squigglies so I used * instead).. The pleasure was ours my friend - TRUELY!! I cannot wait to see the other Venturous again and tell him all about getting to meet you!! You and he HAVE to hook up sometime and share stories!! Tip says hi and to please give a hug to Lisa! Puc

Awe,,, Thanks Freezy,, I just seize em as I sees em! Puc

and if this keeps up imagine what the 1st Gens will be worth Dale.. We may have some folks on here sitting on MILLIONS and not even know it!!

Thanks Hell Yea! The info on this site never ceases to amaze me!!

Rallys are all different, kinda like the roads that lead to them.. I believe they become that way because they tend to be a reflection of the folks who dump their hearts into making them become a reality, again just like the highways that we ride.. If you live to seize the moment like I do you know that getting the chance to get the inside scoop on the special people who do this work aint always easy and when it appears ya better seize the moment As Tip and I pulled into Lake Guntersville Motorsports (GREAT FOLKS - HOSTED THE RALLY!!) to thank them for all their hard work, we bumped into one of the people of whom the greatness of the 2014 International Rally reflects.. Thanks BrakePad for taking the time out of your very busy schedule and granting me the opportunity to seize the moment!! Your ol buddy,, Puc

Thanks again for the info Monty!! THAT IS AWESOME!! Puc

First thing to popped into my mind was Sturgis S.D.,, it has LOTS of ride opportunities, is centrally located between the U.S. and Canada.. Seriously, it is amazing out there and, it would give the folks who do/have done the Harley Rally out there a chance to do the Black Hills rides without a couple zillion other bikes in your way... Place is pretty bike friendly too:rotf: Right in the Sturgis/Rapid City area we could do a National Cemetery honor ride, there's an ICBM missile silo that can be toured, National Parks within easy driving range and on and on.. The place is amazing to see even when the "Rally" aint happening...

Barry, both Tip and I REALLY enjoyed seeing you again too! What a treat to get to meet your brother on your old bike as well! Someday we want to shoot down to florida and actually go have a little ride time with the two of you! OR, get you two up to michigan and get out of the heat. BEEEEUUUTIFUL new bike you have there my friend! Take really good care of her, give her a name, watch your maintenance and I think the miles of fun you will have from that sweetheart are almost endless! Congrats Cuda! PS, tell Son I said the SAMEgoes for his! Who ever let that one go must have been on a Wing buzz or something:rotf: Tip says hi to both you fellers! Love ya, s puc

Will do sgn! We just drove thru the town, past a great big dam and even in the dark it looked pretty cool! The other end of town smelledfunny,, like a paper mill? Anyway, will see what time we are up and around.. trying to get to the coast and off it before the storm hits... thanks! Puc

And,,, so far that little pea brainer did us pretty good! We made it to Kingsport Tennessee in some of the bestest riding weather down here we have ever seen!

Indeed Larry, we had sooooo much fun listening to all the tales! It was an honor meeting all those folks. We pulled out about 2.30 today to try and catch the east coast before this hurricane thing hits,,, been a goal to finish our summer touring having done both coasts.. having that group of folks down there to be at least able to stop and say hi to was fantastic! Some really great people we have here on VR. What a summer! Puc

Ya,, I know,, its another flaw in my charector DragonSlayer.. I have actually gotten better thru the years though. When the kids were little and toured with me, we played this little coin toss game,,, tail = left,,, Heads = right and spent many many miles finding all kinds of cool adventures by letting the coin decide.. at least now in my grown up days I have succumbed to using something WITH a brain :rotf: ,,,, well,,, sometimes.. Tip an I still do the coin toss too! probably not wise and certainly NOT for most people but ya know what,, I find it to be a LOT of fun!

Getting closer to the coast,, made it safely to kingsport tennessee... hoping to beat out this storm everyones yakking about... might have to go all the way to Manhatten to do so

Hmmmm,, maybe I am wrong here,, its totally posible.. seems like I said "are you YammerDan" and you said "I am not YammerDan" and you pointed at some other guy and he pointed at someone and they pointed at someone.. If I am wrong in my recollect I need to know so I can remove a quote from my signature...
