Ya, ya, for sure, you betcha!!!!!

Man, we are passing a very, VERY large time up here in Minnesota ya'll!  That is for sure and for certain.  Great folks up here!  You betcha!  Some of the finest I have met and TP and Nancy and everyone who has had ANYTHING to do with putting this on has done one FINE JOB and we thank you.  I haven't been posting, because every minute is filled with great roads, awesome food and second to none fellowship!  We sure have met some awesome folks up here.  The ride captains have been perfect and let me tell you, Zots took us down a road today that is to kill for - it is a Christmas list wish for anyone that rides a bike!!!!!!!! (wait, wait - more about that later on a post)

I reckon the way things have gone thus far, tomorrow will be even better (I know every day has been as good if not better than the day before up here).  It is after 2:00 am and I am just getting ready to get to bed - MAJOR PUMPED after the ride, sights and fellowship I have enjoyed.  I will post a full ride report when things calm down....might be in the hotel on the night down to Ranger's in Texas - every minute has been so filled...... (wait, wait - a full ride report is coming on a later post)

Man, we had Texicans, Canadians, Cajuns and a HUGE gaggle of the finest Minnesota folks you ever want to meet - man, these were FINE, FINE PEOPLE - one and all.  They let some biker trash show up and made us feel at home with a welcome that was second to none.....



Like I said, tomorrow is only going to be better (more in a later post).

We have learned a lot about the history of this area with visits to Iron mines, historical land marks, Misissippi headwater visitation centers and special Discovery Centers....This has been a true Magical History History TOur (wait, wait - a full ride report is coming)



The only problem we had was when we had to have a Tech Session in the parking lot of the Minnesota Discovery Center with my bike.  Let me tell, what a team effort and what a miracle was performed to get me back on the road again - no Honda shop with all the equipment could have gotten Traveler back on the road any quicker.  I bless my lucky stars I was riding with the group that I was riding with today - what a sight to behold (wait, wait - the full report of the Tech Session is coming in a later post).



Man, I have gotten to see some wonderful sights, enjoyed some AWESOME food - yes Waleye is as good as everyone said it was going to be - seen some beautiful country, ridden some magical roads, and stood on hallowed ground!



Folks, let me tell you one thing for sure and for certain - A MAJOR LARGE TIME IS BEING PASSED UP HERE!!!!!



All I can say is....MAJOR WHOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

MINNESOTA ROCKS YA'LL - cause I know we are having a major ball ya'll!!!!!!

And tomorrow is even going to be better!!!! CAN'T WAIT, CAN'T WAIT, CAN'T WIAT!!!!!!!

(But you are going to have to wait.....for the FULL RIDE REPORT! But trust me, it is going to be worth the wait!!!! A LARGE TIME, I TELL YA!!!!!!!!!!)

I mean, I am sleeping on the shore of Lake Superior tonight!!! How cool is that?!?!



Night and safe winds to everyone tomorrow!  This has been a VERY LARGE TIME UP HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't think of anyone who puts more enthusiasm into a ride report than you Warren.  Smiley Thanks for sharing.

It was great seeing you again Strider!  I knew you'd have a blast on Sunday's ride.  Lots to see there.  Thanks for the update and look forward to some more photos.

Hey, did you have frost on your windsheild Monday Morning? It was great to meet you southern guys - Strider, Hot Glue and others. Also Pibit from Ontario.
 
This was our biggest group yet, and I hope next year can be as good.
- A big thanks goes out to our local members - John & Cindy for all the planning

I'll try and get my pics uploaded to post...

Hilrious!!
And yes those people in the north are very gracious and hospitable...I had a great time while I was there...and bringing in the Three Stooges for the event was as an amazing example of going that extra mile!
See you in South America buddy!

You can only go half way into the darkest forest before you are coming out the other side, unless of course, you have been walking in circles...

If I would have known there was a tech session on the Sunday ride, I would have called in sick so I could pass the wrenches.

Still curious what happened. Looking at the pictures, I can't tell if there was an actual problem, or just a MN prank!!!
