Ridden Not Trailered!
Anyone going this year?

I'm riding back out this year from Baltimore on the SuperHawk, and hopefully it's not going to pour down rain like it did last year.

Last summer, I set a personal goal for the GL to be done by then and ride it... gonna be a close one if I make it... Hope to see you there!
 
I'm going. Driving cross country for my honeymoon so we'll be stopping there on the 10th.

Stu.
 
Just checked the weather forecast for the upcoming weekend. Thursday (the day we leave) looks good, with temps in the low 80s. Friday has a 40% chance of t-storms, but Saturday and Sunday both look good too (low 80's). Hopefully this forecast will hold, and we won't get those thunderstorms on Friday.
 
i'm coming from toronto with a few people, bringing the kids camping ect..., looking forward to see some dtt people there,
keep an eye out for a silver audi a6 ,
 
Made it back safe and sound -- total mileage was just under 1000 miles, and thankfully the weather cooperated going out and coming back. We had bad construction gridlock around Wheeling, WV, and I was about ready to faint from the heat, but other than that everything was fine.

This was a unique opportunity riding out and back -- Lee rode Scott's 1975 (first year) GoldWing, and Scott drove his minivan towing a trailer (in case he bought some bikes). This arrangment allowed us to throw our bags in the minivan, and essentially ride the entire route on 'naked' bikes. What a treat!


Overall the event was okay. Friday was a muddy mess at the swapmeet, and people were offering me big bucks for my umbrella. As I wasn't really looking for anything, the appeal of the swapmeet was limited. But it was interesting to see some bikes and parts you don't normally see, and nice to meet new people.

I actually did find a chrome piece for my SuperHawk that I'd never seen before. I think this was originally meant for a Black Bomber, but it fit the taillight assembly of my bike too. It's stamped 'Stanley' and mounts behind the backplate of the taillight assembly. Anyone ever seen this before?

I'll try to post more photos when I have time.

Thanks Chris -- this is the third time I've ridden out there on the SuperHawk, and it seems to get longer and longer each year! Fortunately we didn't get rained on like we did last year heading out, but that gridlock in Wheeling WV just about killed me.

Here are a few more shots from the event.....

Saw your bike and some other DTT posted scoots. Was lookin for you guys but alas, you were nowhere to be found.
 
Shoulda just looked for the only guy wearing a Belstaff, carrying a Ruby helmet, and wearing two-tone boots!

Or he was probably polishing.....

I am about 45 minutes from Mid Ohio . . . I will be there, likely with a bike or two on my trailer as I need the car to haul crap back from the swap!
