Well it looks it is over for me this year.  Leaky gas tank again and this will most likely have me put the bike away for the rest of the year.  I will try to see if the spare tank will be usable as it is, but it looks like I won't be attending this weekend at all.

Have fun you guys and watch out for those tar snakes.

 :) One of our 'far-away-crew', Watson, set out yesterday from Cleveland Ohio on his Beemer, with the intentions of arriving here Friday, late in the afternoon. He is running up through the Michigan U P, staying last night at the Comfort Inn in St Ignace on Lake Huron, after 8 hours and 452 miles. 

This morning he is off to explore the eastern side of the UP and see Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.

...and the Iron Butt Award goes to.... ;)

I'll keep you guys informed of his progress 8)

               

I can't explain it but this year's fall rain intended for Joe Vac and Night Vision is coming down today (Thursday)...go figure  ???!  These road warriors are like lightening rods  ::) for rain and it looks like it is going to miss them for the trip up.  As a matter of fact  it looks like a darn nice weekend fellows  :D, don't forget the winter woolies though for Friday as it is fall.  Looking forward to seeing you at the Tiger's Den!

Come on up Americano's!  ;D

yeah well, I guess we'll have to wait until Sunday to find some moisture  ::)

... just wouldn't seem right without any rain  ;D 

Enjoy your ride northern brothers(and sisters). I had to put up with winter for 34 years but I have been here in FL for 28. My last ride this year will probably be early morning Dec, 31 and my first ride next year will be Jan, 1. I realize I take that for granted any more but I hope I never see snow again. I apologize for adding this but I just had to.

Then you will understand when we all land at your place  ;D this winter to ride our Visions! That comment is going to cost you!  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Did out the trailor Tiger...cause we're going to Florida!  I'd be ready in about February for sure...

Trailers don't count! Daytona motto, 'I never towed it, I rode it'.

Oh man...that means we gotta stay with Walt until the ice & snow leaves before we can come home....even better.

Dig out the ice chains....you gotta do what you gotta do....we're coming  :o!

Come on down, maybe I will have my boat running and we can do some fishing.

Sounds great Walt! We will have to look into that option in the near future.

Finished our fall ride today (at least some of us did, the rest of the boys are cooling their heals at the Canadian Legion tonight), and had a great time enjoying the last of the summer season.  We had good weather for the whole weekend which I think is a first!

We have the best "all-you-can-eat" crab legs Chinese restaurant in my known world and we definitely took down the Alaskan Crab stock.  Pig roast on Friday night and Crab legs tonight so no one can say they did not eat well  ;D !

Thanks to everyone who attended and look forward to the next season!

Brilliant 1st half of the ride.... It was great to meet all the crew and some new people again. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks again to Tiger for organizing this

superb time as always and a LOT drier than usual  :D

I let Joe cross first and I think it paid off... looks like he had clear sailing back east

thanks again for hosting another great get together....

oh yeah, tell Pete I hope he's on the next one

 8) Thank you to everyone who turned out for making this a weekend to remember...first class  8) 8)

16 bikes, (4 Visions)... excellent weather, some great roads, good food, No brake downs, no accidents, no problems at all... and 21 superb people = A CRACKING WEEKEND folks!!!  8)

By the time I put "The Mistress" in the garage tonight, we had covered somewhere in the region of 400 miles starting from Saturday morning... :o  8)

Boy I'll sleep well tonight...Good night all  ;)

             

All I can say is you guys are the best!  NV and I high tailed it after we left the border without incident!  I did not get searched it didn't rain,  WTF??

I ran 1100 miles, logged over 17 hours in the saddle!  That makes an average of 64.7 mph!  Gotta love motorcycles!! ;~P

 Riding big Barrie's K1200RS was a trip ~ boys like me should not be allowed to have that much power between their legs!!  (goes right to the head ya know)

Thank goodness that we only do this a few times a year, I could not believe the scale when I got home!

Tiger I would thank you again but it's your wife who deserves all the thanks ~ first for keeping you and most for letting a bunch of dirty old bikers into your beautiful home!!!! Give her another kiss for me!


Looking forward to the next one!  Be well boys and girls,  jv

Sooo jealous. I am however very glad you had a great ride, and that our cousins from the south made it home safe. Sorry I couldn't make it. I would have loved to be there.  :)
