More InZane XI Pic's...

[Black Dog]

Well...  Another InZane is over, and more wonderful memories have been made 

Like last year, the good folks of Bellaire MI rolled out the Red Carpet for a buncha bikers, and welcomed us with open arms...  Discounts at resturants (betcha they will rethink that one  ) and just about every business in town...  Folks just wanting to talk and share information on their lil town, and to ask lotsa questions about our big 'Beasty' bikes 

To the pictures...

Parking lot during a beautiful day...  Most folks were out riding...



There was a bike rodeo for those that wanted to try their hand at a challange...



Took a ride around Torch Lake, and had some beautiful roads...



Made a stop on the west side of the lake for a 'Money Shot' photo opp...





Had a boat load of some nice lookin' bikini clad young ladies, but Paul 'Hoosier Daddy' was the one with a 'zoom' lens (he might share his pic's  )...



Made a stop in a lil town for some Ice Cream, with me, Paul (Hoosier Daddy), Loth (98T), Steve (Steve K IA), and Ron (Eeezzy Rider), with Jim C behind the camera...



And as always, the 'Bike Show'...  I believe I have pic's of all the entries...

This years winner...  Mike Terrys (of Valkyrie Bling) supercharged Beast 



































The Wisconsin contingent had a 'Bike Wash' for the charity (Camp Comfort) with all supplies donated by 'Joe's Juice'...  In two days and 27 bikes, Barb and her 'Man Crew' added over $750 to the pot 



All good things must come to an end, so Steve K and I hit the road for the long (and HOT  ) ride home...  This pic, as we were on hwy 2, on the north shore of Lake Michigan, was probably the most comfortable part of the ride home...



This has been a tough year for me personally...  I needed this get away more than any other over the past 30 years...  My VRCC family helped fix the hole in my soul, and made me realize, once again, that true friends are forever, and we've got one wonderfull, goofy, careing, loving, generous group of folks that make up the VRCC 

Thanks to all the folks that made it possible...  I'm sure the time and effort to pull this event off has taken it's toll on those involved (Yo Mama!!  Am I right?  ).

Hope to see everyone at IZ XII next year...  Remember...  Where ever Dragons go, it will be HOT 

Thanks again for bringing me back from the brink...

Yes, and looks like creative use of a sidemount plate bracket. 

[KY,Dave (AKA Misunderstood)]

I'm guessing yes and turn signals  

I now see the plate shape

All,
If anyone know who the owner is I just had a couple questions about the bike.

I believer you're referring to T-bird's bike (from TN)... Just sent him a PM.

Great post Steve....  Super photos, and yes... I do have several of the lake shots with a better view of the occupants of the boat that you refer to!   I may post 'em, but they may or may not remain on the board very long (one attached) -- LOL!   Glad to share the wind and a few cold ones with you and all the gang at InZane once again!   These gatherings do so much for so many...   Way beyond what some might think, and for some of us, it has been 12 years (if you count the first VOA ride in in Montrose, where I first met oZ and some of the others!)  I do only see some of this gang a few times (or even once) a year, but I consider them amongst my BEST friends...  Wife does not understand,  but I know you all do.   Thanks...
