Heal quickly, Spyder! Oh, and Greg, u turns, gravel, and water crossings are part of the fun. Hell, I'm certain Brian intentionally works them in to every group he leads.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

Just talked to Casey (Spyder) and he's at home and doing as well as you can with two broken ribs. And he's pretty sore in general. A bike rescue mission is in the works.
Also just checked in with Neil, and he's doing fine, not really sore, and the damage to his shiny new bike was minimal. He rode back home Saturday with no problems.
Gear works, folks. Not that we needed more evidence. ATGATT.Last edited by bwringer; 06-13-2021, 11:18 PM.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

Originally posted by Redman View Postand also sad to say had today had three “rider down” incidents with bike damage. Will let the individuals report on thier own when and how they want.
Wanted to say thanks again to Norm, Ron, and Larry for helping me and the bike get back to the Rosemount, as well as Steve, Dave, and everyone helping to get it rideable!
I had a great time riding this weekend and have definitely ensured a life of riding to come. I’m sure my dad (burque73) will provide more updates as we get home, but wanted to say thanks.

i have a bit of a casualty to report. At a busy 2 lane exit (i131 & i96) my side case dropped open, broke its retainer strap, and dragged on pavement, strewing it’s contents all over. But of course I didn’t notice till guy in car honking and pointing. I pulled over and stopped (no shoulder, was an exit on over pass) to close it back up. By time go to next exit , turn around, go back , and come back, could walk along the busy traffic, found some stuff, but, whimper, whimper, not my camera.
i suspect I didn’t fully latch the latch. And apparently that is good enough for 355 miles of the 360 miles to my daughters house. Have a 4 inch place about wore thru the case.Victor Kolb

It was great seeing everyone. Mostly familiar faces, yet great to meet the newcomers too.
Jay is the true roll model what it means to be a Gentleman. And his cooking is FANTASTIC!
I made it home around 3pm yesterday. I took the longer way home, decided to hit 450S one more time, then spent the rest of the ride home following the Ohio River back to Cincinnati.
I counted 9 different bruises on my legs from those damn cicadas, my helmet and jacket protected me from the other 20 hitsVictor Kolb

And those cicadas...sheesh. What a mess. My bike, gear, and helmet were covered. Had to hit the high-pressure wash near home just get the first couple couple of layers of cicada guts off the bike. Yuck!

Originally posted by Adamnit View PostI would be the second rider down. No injuries and the bike is rideable, I just took a turn a little too wide and the bike slid out as soon as I touched the grass on the shoulder. Guess I’m going to learn how to disassemble and reassemble an FJR. We made it to Springfield, MO tonight with no issues.

It's so cool that y'all came all that way to the rally. Pleasure meeting all of you. And thanks to your family, I'm now addicted to Hatch New Mexico chile peppers. I'm looking for every excuse to cover whatever I'm eating with spicy red gravy.
Godspeed on your return trip.

On my way across I-50 East yesterday, I stopped at a red light in one of the towns along the way. I pickup truck pulled up next to me and the passenger side window rolled down. The occupants proceeded to yell something at me which I could not hear because of the 70's road show music I was listening to from Spotify. I turned it off, opened my helmet and said, "what?". They repeated, "There's a bungee cord hanging from your right rear foot peg!" Oh crap! Amazing that it stayed there that whole half hour or so. And, that it didn't fly off and get twisted up in my chain! Yikes!Current Bikes:
