Pics from rallies past

[Griffin]

Notice that it is with no licence plate.

This would be BC2008, enroute back north On SUnday.

View from upstairs dinning room of Mayberrry Inn. ANd this is before the unlicensed bike joined the group.
THis is Brett Griffin's hometown and he joined us and brought his 750E to show us all his bike he got for free, just to annoy us all. Oh, the Mayberry Inn was great, I will want to stop there again.

I'm pretty sure this is from '07. Remember how I was limping around? I had dumped my 700 doing a u-turn on a washed-out backroad (tearing cartilege in my knee, I later found out) while riding with what would eventually be my GS1000G. I picked up the 750E in '07 as well.

Anyway, I wasn't too worried about riding with no plates in Danville. I work on motorcycles for the police chief and a police sergeant here in town.

They hold my "get out of jail free" cards.....

Fantastic thread! I need to get to one of these. Looks like great times!

I guess that technically it was called a "rally".
(Thanks again for the shirts, Kurt. )



Only one route, but it was about 1100 miles.



Had a little "liquid sunshine" on the way.



Had some problems on the way back.



The first overlook. Start of second day, in the first mile or so that we were on the Blue Ridge Parkway.



Scenic Mabry Mill.

Wow. I really don't look happy in that picture. I wasn't mad at all. I just don't smile for photos.

Don't worry, Cliff. I had a spare cover, and soon changed all the bodywork on that bike out to black anyway. I still have the red bodywork, stashed in the loft above the garage.

Hey Brett,

I was just pulling your leg. That picture was actually the first night we arrived and I was picking up your bike.

This is a much better picture, across the street from the Mayberry Cafe where our families had dinner together after I dropped the bike off.



You thought about smiling for this picture. I can tell. You had cleaned up the bike and put the spare side cover on.

My father-in-law took this random shot somewhere in a cornfield.



It's great that you and Katie have been going to all the MotoGPs. Gillian still loves to ride with me.

Joe, you've got some great pictures and great memories. I'm going to remember that "cruel joke".

All the best to you and yours,

Cliff
