Once again thanks to all you folks that came on this ride and remember next year's  June ride  promises to be " Wild And Wonderful "  ;) and with it being in the mountains it will be much cooler also  :cooldude:

sorry little buddy i  was there hiding in the bushes didnt you see me ?? i tried to catch ya  you wouldnt slow down.. next time wait for me joe im slow .. 

Joe,
Though I knew before I arrived that I couldn't participate in the activities, I throughly enjoyed meeting all on Friday evening.  Wish I could have stayed longer but wanted to thank you for the effort to put this all together.  It was a great fun loving time.   :cooldude:

Great pics, where are the pics from the emergency run to Baskins Robbins?

I did'nt even make a whiskey run much less a ice cream one  ???  I thought I would be hauling a passenger on the ride saturday and did'nt even enjoy any of Kentucky's finest bourbons on " The Whiskey Run "  :(

Get some sleep George... don't you still have to drive a truck to the other side of Tennessee before 8am
in the morning?

We could just pretend we were really drinking that stuff, instead of just tasting it  ;D ...

Did anyone else think that Mint Julep flavor tasted like spearmint chewing gum?

William Percy described how to make a real Southern Mint Julep in "Lanterns on the Levee"...

  Father and General Catchins and Captain McNeilly and Captain Wat Stone and Mr. Everman would
  forgather  every so often on our front gallery. These meeting must habitually have taken place in
  summer, because I remember Mother would be in white, looking very pretty, and would immediately
  set about making a mint julep for the gentlemen - no hors d'oeuvres, no sandwiches, no cocktails,
  just a mint julep. After the first long swallow - really a slow and noiseless suck, because the thick
  crushed ice comes against your teeth and the ice must be kept out and the liquor let in - Cap Mac
  would say: "Very fine, Camille, you make the best julep in the world." She probably did. Certainly
  her juleps had nothing in common with those hybrid concoctions one buys in bars the world over
  under that name. It would have been sacrilege to add lemon, or a slice of orange or of pineapple,
  or one of these wretched maraschino cherries.

  First you needed excellent bourbon whisky; rye or Scotch would not do at all. Then you put half an 
  inch of sugar in the bottom of the glass and merely dampened it with water. Next, very quickly - and
  here is the trick in the procedure - you crushed your ice, actually powdered it, preferably in a towel
  with a wooden mallet, so quickly that it remained dry, and slipping two sprigs of fresh mint against
  the inside of the glass, you crammed the ice in right to the brim, packing it with your hand. Last you
  filled the glass, which apparently had no room left for anything else, with bourbon, the older the
  better, and grated a bit of nutmeg on the top.

  The glass immediately frosted and you settled back in your chair for a half an hour of sedate
  cumulative bliss. Although you stirred the sugar at the bottom, it never all melted, therefore at
  the end of the half hour there was left a delicious mess of ice and mint and whisky which a small
  boy was allowed to consume with calm rapture. Probably the anticipation of this phase of a julep
  was what held me on the outskirts of these meetings rather than the excitement of the discussion,
  which often I did not understand.

You can't beat stuff with a wooden mallet on today's sissy counter-tops, so I've never gotten the ice
just right, but I've made some pretty good Mint Juleps...

Thanks to all who put this ride together. Had a GRAND time riding with all those Valks.  :cooldude:

DITTO THAT !  ;) Was a great time for all. While it was not possible to meet all the VRCC folks, at least for me, great to see all the smiling faces and great looking Valkyries. Nice to see everyone having a good time and what a great lunch Sat. Like JimL says, never a disapointment at a State Park. Glad all returned home safe..  ;)
Don.

We just wanted to thank everyone that organized the Whiskey run for a truly great time. This was our first time on a VRCC ride and we felt very welcomed and as part of the group from the moment we arrived.  I'm certain we will be looking for another event that we can attend to see you all again soon. 
Bryan & Jeanne

P.S. This is my first post on this message board and i'm having trouble uploading a photo to accompany this message.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for putting in all of the work and effort to organize this! Like I told you Saturday, if there is any way I can make it next year I'll see you then!

THE EFFORTS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED, !!!!
Glad to see so many good people riding Valkyries.  :)

I posted this a while back, see if it helps...

You have to get your pictures on the Internet somehow (Photo Bucket, Flickr, Picasa, whatever)...

Then, once your picture has a URL - for example, yellow jacket URL:
   http://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/yellow/pic07western.jpg (http://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/yellow/pic07western.jpg)
you can just put the URL into your post, highlight it, and push the little "insert image" icon that's
right above where you're typing... I see it now, it is below the "B" icon, and to the left of the icon that
has a picture of the world on it. Hover over all those icons and their names/functions will print out...

Try it, reply to this thread, cut and paste in the yellow jacket URL (or some URL), look around for the
icons, and mash "Preview" as many times as you need until it looks right...

Great people,sweet riding and all around good time! Thanx for putting it all together for us!

Because of thigns happening as they did, I was unavoidably not able to be there. Oh, How I wanted to go, counting the days, minutes....I didnt even get to sleep thursday night JUST IN CASE things worked out differently. Unfortunately, they didnt :(  I hope to be able to meet everyone at the next meet...

Was a pleasure Joe had a great time keep me in the loop for the Mothman ride.

Point Pleasnt I believe and a Festival to Boot.

Been wanting to do the Mothman for a while.

This thing is real , but nobody has proved it to science level but as many people saw the thing

makes you wonder., Indrid Cole was the name given by the creature. A messenger of disaster is

what I got out of the movie with Richard Gere.

Here is a Eyewitness.

Mothman: Man, myth or monster? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBh6G6LdbKo#lq-lq2-hq)

If we do The Moth Man Ride in Point Pleasant that will be the 3rd weekend in Sept during The Mothman Festival.Last I heard the plan is to use Huntington,WV as ground zero.
