Since I was unable to attend I'll have to live this week vicariously through the posting of comments and pictures. Hope all are enjoying themselves and new friends along the way. My bike was ready to travel in case I got a break, but it was not to be. Maybe next year!

In between her Vanna White impersonations the elder spawn has been running around taking tons of pictures, but alas the Internet connectivity at the hotel is horrible (It cuts out every 5-10 minutes and has to be re-connected, very frustrating) so I won't be able to process my pics and get 'em online until I get home sometime next week I'm afraid...

But once I'm able to, I'll post a ton of 'em... promise!

Serk, I enjoyed visiting with you last night. John Schmidt it's a pain in the butt to post pictures on this board with your cell phone. I'm not sure if you have Facebook but you can look me up on Facebook and you can see the pictures that I posted there.

Yes Joe, I'm aware of the cell phone aspect. I no longer do Facebook so will have to wait for others to post.  cooldude

John, wish you were here. Here are some various shots from some of our rides.  cooldude

Mark (3fan) took us on his Magical Mystery Tour yesterday. But, that’s going to have to be a whole separate post about riding dirt trails looking for moonshiners.  Grin


ITS BEEN AN AWESOME EVENT ! (Well except for Serk getting us banned from anymore drinking in the parking lot)   Wink

Rob, I don't know why Brenda ended up in jail, but I'm pretty sure it's your fault.

Great pics. The one pic in front of the barber shop looks rather wistful, as in "geez, I remember when...."  Grin

It was nice to meet you Stanley.  cooldude I kept her locked in the room, worried that your cousin might show up. Or even worse that the underwear dancing might ensue.  Grin

"SNIFFING".....the keyword there. Did you know Steamer and Cletus are twins? Scary huh?  2funny

Steamer, sorry I didn't get a chance to make the trip and pass some time with ya this year, guess there's always next year.  cooldude

Bikes lined up before attacking The Beast on Saturday ride with Smokin' Joe




Country Store



At the Aberdeen Inn


Daniel Meyer's Tech Session


During the Staff Lunch - a bit of the Smokey Mountain fog before the rain.





In Mt. Airy, or Mayberry, NC







Baldo (Bob Pineo) performing critical electrical repairs on Tryke2Go (Don's trike) during the Poker run. It just lost power.  He figured out it was a bad connection on a relay and spliced in a wire to fix it.  Amazing!



Scott addressing the Thursday night attendees




Sock Monkey is happy to be back in his garage

some good pictures filtering through Cheesy


That pic with the wiring work getting done reminds me of a local trip when one of the bikes headlights stopped working, seat of fuses checked, pic taking with lots of scratching heads....testers out trying things when one person noticed that this bike had a headlight off/on switch....turned it on and hey presto it worked Tongue

the rider had bumped it off and had never used the switch as his last bike didn't have one Tongue

Thank you for the kind words, but I can't claim credit. I had help from Dr Mark (?) and Turtle (?) trying to find another power source. It all came together and worked great. It looks like a bad ignition switch, also a potentially smoked solenoid.

Keep those key fobs to a minimum!

I saw what I saw and you had connectors, wires and tools for the electrical connections.  Well done!

Inzane is over, but being as I’m still going.


These kids make selfies seem easy. I feel and look like a 128 year old dinosaur.

128? No was... Definitely not older than 96 or so...

That old dude to your left though, he's way old!
