Was a great turn out and good event - no crashes, breakdowns or ticket ('cept for maybe the NJ crew on the way home???) and seemed to be a lot of interest to do it again next year. Mike got some great shots, I'll post up the few I took and looking forward to Baf's video. Drew, Rich and I hung around after everyone took off, then I rode with them to Bennington where had a lunch and split off. Lots 'o miles and lots o' smiles! Hard-dee-har. Good seeing everyone, and meeting all of the new faces. Hope everyone is home safe. |

good to see no one needed any "garage time" Maybe next time a planned stop at my place will be in order. |

Just made it home. Missed a turn somewhere in the finger lakes and ended up adding some extra time and miles. I was nice to meet everyone. Thanks to dave and mark for making this happen and everyone who showed up for making it a good time. Catch ya at the next one. |

DUDE!!!! That section of Rt 7 was on the route I laid out (White Church Rd), and the wrong turn I took was right at that intersection to go on that road. We were all supposed to take it and I fudged it up for my group. Oh well - always next year. I have some alterations to that route I'd make for next time. |

Guys now I am awake and not exhausted all I can say is 1100 miles in 3 days of pure exhilaration!!!!!! We had the greatest weather the best roads and literally all of it I mean All of it except for about 50 combined miles of superslab was beautiful back mountain roads!!!!!!!!. I must say I was wiped out when I got home. IDK how Fred Froggy , his girl and Mike did it without saddle sores!!!!!!!!!!! |

Great time. Sucks its time to go back to work. I can not wait to do this again. I can honestly say I have never pushed my bike that hard on the back roads and it felt good to see what it can do. Too bad I can't ride it to its fullest lol |

alright - I didn't take many photos, but here are some of the ones I have: First gas stop in Fort Ti: Anyone else notice this? Parking lot of Whiteface: Summit: Lake Placid: Myself and these three were the only ones who hiked to the summit from my ride group: That's all I got - If you haven't had a look at Mike's photos yet you really should! I wish I were a committed enough photographer to get up for those sunrise shots like he did, haha. |

Thanks Ken, me and the missus may try the caveman deal. Speedo season is coming up, and I dont wanna scare the soccer moms like I did last year . maybe even try to rock the "Montreal " look. Capris for men are evidently all the rage. |

I've got a bunch of crappy phone pics here. The video uploads are almost done; it's all 720p so it's taking a little while to upload. |

I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I REALLY wanted to be there but... something else popped up that took priority. You were all in my thoughts afterward, though... we had the "reception" at the Dinosaur BBQ across the street... |

The worst thing about the rally was longingly gawking at everyone else's bikes. The upside is that I've already located 3 tubers for sale locally! |

Good time and riding. Thanks for friendly NYS troopers. Next time I'll work on spending the whole weekend. My guess is the nightlife was as fun as the ride. "I'd like 12 orders of meatballs"... "OK we have like 100 meatballs" |
