Just like to mention, Kyle has a deal at work, he gets to ride his bike for FREE! Next time he will probably have some other model. Lucky guy!

Jiri said something about getting a GPS. Well after the pace he set, I am buying a radar detecter/jammer!
Once again, this is Jiri's fault!

Thought I should clear up the "partner" issue DJ brought up.
Although it may initially look like couples it's really not DJ.
Me and my wife Vickie were actually the only couple, our son stayed with my parents for the weekend - Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! - btw I built a small deck for them Monday after 3 days of riding
There were quite a few spouses staying home with kids to make this possible.
Hats off, and a sincere thank you to those that did that for us.

Cheese and Rice! That must have been my evil-eye sourpuss look. Next time you're going to take a closeup, let me know so I can shine up my forehead.

Thanks all for letting a little harley rider tag along on the adventure!
DJ, I do believe I the only single one in the group with no husband or kids waiting for me to get home.
Steve, you do talk just a little bit but much more after a couple of spotted cows.

Stay tuned everyone! A proper ride report is coming!
Sorry for the delay but it took a while to collect and post photo's, plus everyone had to go back to work. (But, I don't think anyone really wanted to)

it's been nearly 5 days! unacceptable
look at those guys on the east coast: movies, slide shows, numerous albums and stories.
I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray...
