yeah, doesn't seem to be moving very fast. But it looks like if you wait it out you can get behind it. Who knows when that will be though.

Ride safe guys!
 
So what time is the ride gonna happen tomorrow? Im planning on arriving around 8am, hope I wont miss anything other than snoring and burned breakfast?
 
8am will put you most likely awake/ahead of the game by a couple hours haha. Weather is looking gorgeous for tomorrow. I'll be around the camp site tonight and hopefully we can get an idea of what we'll be doing. We have a bike with a charging issue, so we'll need an outline/idea of where people will be stopping inbetween.

If anyone is interested, since a handful of us will be on vintage bikes, the walmart about ... 10 minutes from the campsite is havin a big nostalgia/vintage hotrod show put on by the local big toyota dealership, so that may be something cool to check out in the morning before hitting the road.

Ok well maybe ill get a tad more sleep then. See you hoodlums tomorrow then
 
Yeah..... I'm jealous. It has not stopped raining in Ft. Lauderdale since I got here on Tuesday. I've got another 3 weeks of this crap until I get to come home. Kinda bummed I'm gonna miss this one, but I'm really hoping to make Barbers this year, so I might see most of you then. Ride safe and have one for me.

We were having a great time with the guys but the wife and I had to leave. I'm sure their still having a good or better time by now.
 
Mr. E, soooooo jealous! Looks like a good group showed up! Really mad I missed it.

Don't hold me to this, but I am considering tucking it back for barber... but I may get thirsty by then :)
 
Had a lot of fun guys, glad I got to see a few from last year and shake some new hands. Last night was fun out by the campfire that Flug got going, my coke and shine mix drink was a bit stout. We even roasted marshmellows and I think Johns girlfriend? Made me a kick ass old fashioned smore! Looking forward to hopefully making barbers this year.
 
Man!! Very nice folks!! 8)

Looks like you all had a great time. Too bad for the rest of us. :'(

I guess I'll have to make due with Barber in October! ;) ;D
 
What can I say. Another great GTG. I don't have any good stories of the ride this time since I didn't get to go but I had as much fun as I could in my civic. Just hanging out with everyone made it worth the trip.

Somehow nobody broke down this time or ran out of gas which made it uneventful but enjoyable.

I hope everyone riding makes it home ok and the others maintain their ball weight. ;)
 
Nice pics! Glad things went well - was just looking on Killboy for some pics but nothing from Saturday is up yet. Going to check some of the other photog sites.
 
We would show up sometime between 1 and 3. Not a lot of "cafes" other than Mr. E's, John83's, and djelliott's.
 
Man, that was a blast! I'll try to post some pictures soon. Good to see some people again and meet others for the first time. Loads of fun.
 
Yes indeed, a great time was had. The riding was intense. Of course it was lead by Josh on his new(ish) BMW K1200S. Confident rider + good knowledge of the roads = he went FAST. Everything through the Dragon was as you would expect but when we hit some other twisties with posted speed limits of 55MPH and the Cherohala shit got quick. I was on the lowest displacement bike by more then half so I was winding that little pea shooter out in an attempt to keep up. It was a lot of fun. I did have bird impact at one point. Poor little guy probably never knew what hit him. I'll post some photos in a bit.
 
Cherohala is an awesome ride - honestly way more fun than the Dragon.
