Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

My goal is to make it to your next Party and I'll get there on my own Vision.  I met up with NightVison and Joevac near Rochester and rode with them to lunch in Niagara Falls.  Following those 2 XZs, listening to the bikes' unique exhaust music, was incentive enough to get 'er done! Party on!

as always, I had another superb ride with the OnRovers.... of course it wouldn't have been complete without the obligatory moisture, but Joe took it easy on me this time and we only had brrrrrrrizzzle  :P for about an hour after we crossed over.

Brrrrrrrrrrizzzzzzle is: when you go from a glorious 76 deg. day of riding with friends  8)

to riding through a 50 deg. cloud knowing the place you're going to has a work week waiting for you :P

I'd like to thank John and Cathy for being the ideal hosts as always.... but I think after all these rides, they are actually starting to like having the Two Yanks come up.... they even flew a little American Flag in our honor  :D :D :D 

I'd especially like to thank Tiger for distracting us today, and clouding our judgement with enough distillates the previous night, that we actually believed "today will be just like yesterday"   bloody cheeky of 'ya mate!  :D

pics of the bikes, folks, and special guests who took part, will follow as soon as all the pixels are gathered

Thanks to Tiger and Cathy for your amazing hospitality.  I think we all had a wonderful ride, and it was great seeing everyone again. I'll be sending you my pictures, but I can't figure out how to get them on here. lol. By the way , the Virago says to tell you thanks for the mirrors. She feels very pretty now with all that shiny chrome.  ;)

Wait till y'all see "Night Terror" next year, I picked up some great ideas during the ride...... Here are some of the PICS that Dibble Sr. took on Saturday.

Wow!

These rides get better each time!

Tiger you and your wife are a class act and I will always have the greatest admiration for you both.

NV you and your wife have taken me into your home many times now and have always made me feel welcome and comfortable - with always a "stay any time" as I go...  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Great friends, great ride, great food, great drink... 

I can't think of any better way to go through life!  What else can I say?

Looking forward to the next one already.

P.S. A special shout out to Jack, Dexter and Wilbur!
