Just got home tonite from the big rally. Mighty warm and tons of rally goer's. Really had fun shopping at the many vendor booths. Also enjoyed meeting up with a few of the local hero's here on the adv rider forums.
Here is another Tent shot. Sorry, my posts here are so lame. I didn't take too many pics. Was too busy spending money.
Also, I finally got to meet Andrew Fekete and Ricky for the first time in person. The rally was well attended, except for the "big" BMW trailer that was located at the AMA National.
I know that bike !!!! It was my first baby after returning to the world of two wheels a couple years back. I miss her. Great sport touring bike. Hope she served you well! Ain't L*S a great guy. Hope your 950 gets well soon.
CorrectoMundo - that is your old bike. Dave has some great friends in the greater SF area who loaned him your old Futura for the sprint up to Spokane, WA. The Futura worked well on the ride except for the fuel pump fuse blew somewhere in Oregon. Dave had to get towed... Dave has had some run of (un)luck with motos lately. But, his attitude was great (as usual) and he seemed to be enjoying the rally. P.S. I'm still kickin after that lunch chicken sandwhich Dave. :eek1 Good luck with the 950 engine/bike/whatever adventure Dave.
Eeeooo! That was nasty! Thanks. I'm picking up my new 950 this WE! Yes! It was way cool to hang with you, Chuck.
And here's some cool news: Our own "drholm" of ADV won the sweeeet little R90S at the rally. Sitting next to the winner was worth the trip for me. Gyrodaughter offered to ride it "home" for him . . . . but he must have been suspicious of her intentions and made other plans. "What's a few thousand miles . . between friends?"
sounds like a blast ! i hope to catch next yrs rally. i posted a reply on another thread enquiring about anyone else suffering a rear wheel failure on the new R12 GS. did you happen to hear anything about the new GS's as to wheel failures ? mine occured at 8,000 K's good thing it didn't happen in batapilus MX which is where we were returning from. great pics !
