What I learned at the Kentucky Memorial Day Ride…

[Highbinder]

 1. I learned that after doing 5 years of these rides that each one is as good the last  one or better..

2.   I learned that in KY,VA. And TN., the speed limit is just a suggestion....
3.   I learned not to stand next to trailers that look like boats because they leak..
4.   I learned that riding between Fudgie and Kip is not a healthy thing to do because their bikes are kissing cousins...
5.   I learned that Oss's slow ride abilities can be put to use as drag rider and he does a great job....
6.   I learned that when you blow your horn with 75-100 Valkyries in the parking lot, it looks like someone yelled "START YOUR ENGINES', people snapping down helmets, putting on gloves, buttoning jackets, adjusting sunglasses, engines revving and hands on the handlebars waiting for the first bike to move...you've have to see it someday..
7.   I learned that Lawdog, one of our latest members, can stop 4 lanes of traffic without getting off his motorcycle, good job Lawdog..
8.   I learned that if you want a manly message delivered to your wife just grab 3valks and have him deliver the message, it gets profane results...
9.   I learned that with all the spare parts that Valk riders carry, if you put them all together you could probably build another motorcycle...
10.   I learned after 5 years these rides, that you can put 75-100 motorcycles together in one ride and keep it together for a couple of hundred miles and still have fun, these rides seem to bond the riders closer together, having all the bikes in one group at gas and break stops, folks share ride experiences with each other and such...plus one big group meal together...... with almost all the folks being together from the start of the event to good-byes on Sunday...seems to work, because each year I see a lot of the same friendly faces every year....its the bikes that start the bond and it's the bikes that strengthen it..
11.   I learned that when you call Ryan's Restaurant and tell them you coming with 100 people in about 1 hour, they tend not to believe you,..Robin and Judy went ahead and informed them we were really coming and they still had their doubts..when we pulled into the parking lot they were all smiles...
12.   I learned a lot about the bikes we ride, talking to different people who have tried different equipment, tires and such...we have a great time talking bikes..
13.   I learned that next years ride will be called "Return to Hillbilly Highways" hope to see you all again next year...

my pleasure Don



I also learned that Lady Draco is faster than the timer on her camera ...by a country mile

That moonshine comes in two colors clear and char

That my room and a las vegas casino had something in common, neither had a clock

That Eric is pretty good at coming up with a road that will get you there right quick and w/o speed appreciation awards and he knew where the speed traps were too

That the biggest liquor store I have ever seen was within a mile of ground zero and they had lots of bourbon but no oozo

That the road to a friend is never too long but the time spent there is never long enough

thanks again for the memories

see some of you in a few weeks

4.   I learned that riding between Fudgie and Kip is not a healthy thing to do because their bikes are kissing cousins...

 

[RDAbull]

Fun Folks on Valks
Fast Folks on Trikes
Lil Brothers on Yamis
Everybody is welcome
Won't miss MountainWiliam III
That's for sure
Hope to see a "bunch of Ya'll" before then

ride safe, ride often

[Charlie McCready]

I learned that I see a lot of the same people from all over our great country each year. Job well done Don and Joe.......I'll be back Lord willing and the creek don't rise !!!! I may even ride the supervalk one of these days.    Hey, I also saw a lot of new faces I hope to see again next year.....and hope Thibideau will be back with the "prawlines" !!! 

[Mr Whiskey]

That moonshine comes in two colors clear and char

BaWaaHaHaHa, I'll drink to that!!
Peace, Whiskey.

[robin]

Had a great time as always and " HILLBILLY HIGHWAY 3" sounds good to me 
West Virginia for 3 is my vote if that matters.
Thanks Don and Joe for the scouting and time to put it together 

[Crazyhorse]

Was great and looking forward to next years ride .

[hubcapsc]

I learned not to stand next to trailers that look like boats because they leak..

He showed me his bilge pump, and the first thing out of my mouth was "do you ever squirt
that thing on unsuspecting bystanders?"...

    Hope this did not offend you Highbinder or anyone for that matter We were just having a little fun in our drunken state of mind If this did i'm truly sorry.
  Thanks Trout Dude

.........somehow this just doesn't sound right!!

[trout dude]

Pappy I hooked up a pump to empty water out of the ice chest inside my trailer .
  Nothing kinky going on here LOL

[fudgie]

I learned that locals really do not know where KFC is. 

GiG likes to air out his underware on my bike, still. 

Skinhead learned that 'towel' & 'tall' are pronounced the same. 

When signs say 35 mph curve you have 12' to slow from 50 mph.

[Blakjack]

I learned that large group rides are still a blast   

[R J]

Glad ya all had fun.

I wish I could still partake in these rides like I used to, but 40 ft of hoses is kind of restrictive.    Don't misunderstand here, never rode with Don & Joe, but I did ride a bunch of bike events in states surrounding Iowa, and as far West as Nevada and as far East at the big pond that flows salt water,

Especially since my last Dr visit Friday.      BAW HUM BUG.

[bill-jr]

I learned that sometimes the hotel staff can be wilder than the bikers .....
I also learned that sometimes you can have more miles logged in the parking lot than the whole ride its self.........
My wife learned how to play cornhole at the first stop .....
i also learned to not follow the evil twins ........

[Gavin_Sons]

I learned that triumph bob has still got the skills to get the ladies, and that several guys clapping and cheering for him may have ruined it. 

[Highbinder]

It heart warming to see that I'm not the only one that learns stuff on these rides.. ....looking forward to the next one, riding around learning crap is what we do best..

[gabby]

     I learned ==THE HARD WAY====Theys other ways of opening trunks than with a key.  The hotel staff    I  S     definately wilder than any of us want to admit---I found out the hard way  !!!!
