      Safe travels all. I’ve been on the road a couple of hours. Taking a break in Smiths Grove KY. On track for meeting Ron in Hawesville around 1 or so. Don’t expect anyone else to join us, but everyone is welcome.

          Safe travels all and heave a good one. Still nursing a cold here so I won't joining you this year unfortunately. Weakness and wooziness on a motorcycle would probably be a bad mix.

            Yeah, for the average amateur, but GSR people are above that. Wooziness on a motorcycle is like no other kind of fun.

                          Got home a little after 2 Central Time. Nice ride home. Roads dried up by the time I got to Paoli and had a nice run down 66 into Cannelton. Had a nice breakfast at the Riverview and made haste homeward. Always thinking that maybe some storm was following. But never saw a drop of rain. It did start sweltering about the time I go to Smiths Grove KY and stayed hot the rest of the way. A little rain would have been welcome.

                          Great seeing everyone. Definitely one of the highlights of my year every year.

                            Just pulled in and offloaded the bike. Fortunately not more than 3 raindrops fell on me (two in Louisville and the other outside Cincy) but I did have to dodge killer cages - one pulled out from a shopping center going the opposite way into stopped traffic while staring at me.

                            Many thanks to Jay and Brian for another great weekend. Like Bob said, pictures to come after I head to the shop

                              Dave redman, Justin Redmanson, Jay RedmanSILgot rained on before beanblossom, so got on raingear,



                              then rode an other hour and half in on/off rain, then was partly sunny, (good recipe for getting steam cooked).
                              Had further charging problems, gas station parking lot investigation found one of the new stator connectors loose, so pinched it a little smaller so fit tighter.
                              Made it to our, respective homes about 6 or 630.

                              I only had about 825 miles, since had problems both Friday and Saturday that had me back to the motel early in the morning…they had about 1200.

                                I got home about 1:00 -- Tim, Wazz and I headed to Gatesville for breakfast, then north for the boooooooooooooring slog home. Tim and Wazz checked in a few hours later.

                                It sprinkled off and on the whole morning, but I never bothered to don rain gear. On the southwest side of Indy we finally ran into some very serious soaking hard rain. By the time I peeled off on the north side, it was ordinary rain. No big deal; I just hung up the mesh to dry and hit the shower.

                                Thanks again to all for a wonderful, relaxing weekend.

                                I'm exhausted and fried, which is the state of mind I was going for. The full Saturday route is some of my better wayfinding work, if I do say so myself... a positively diabolical, nearly nonstop tight technical twisty road full bore assault on every sense. One of those rare times when Dale and I got to the hotel and said, "yeah, that's... that's enough riding for one day."
