Being the slowest of the pack I tried to stay in the rear, no ditches or helicopters for me, but I always felt bad for the rear guard, which was either Ferret or dUh, thanks guys !

This round, I am not going to post in the ride report. Yes, I did ride the CB from Indiana; but I do not want to focus so much on the ride in this report, as I do the people.
I would like to say thank you to all those that made the trip. Unfortunately; I personally feel like I missed out on actually meeting some of you there. A few people I was introduced to once in a quick passing and never had the opportunity to say much more than hello. That is a regret; as I really wanted to have time to talk to everyone, but time just passes too quickly. Some had the unfortunate pleasure of actually spending more time with me than others; and for that you’re welcome, to both parties. The rally was only over a few short days, and we were scattered out over a few places. To those that were unable to attend, I am sorry you were not there and we did not get to meet. It really was an enjoyable time spent.
I don’t want to call any one individual out, nor do I want to leave anyone out of my little rambling as I reflect on the days of the 2015 rally. I just want to express, it was just a great time for me, and a lot of fun. Yes Powerdogg, all of it was fun looking back Lol
Some memorable highlights not in a specific order:
Talking with Firecracker..or Butterfly .. or Instigator ? She was very comical.
The look on Pterodactyls face when asked “would you like to ride the Dragon at night?”
Razors cool attitude as everyone (or was it just me) that drooled and complemented over that gorgeous Black Beauty of his.
Ride4Now and offroad4x4 getting the shakes on the Blue Ridge Parkway when the Goldwing and his wife went blazing by as if we were standing still
Watching Ferret show everyone how SCCBrider dances on the motorcycle. Both spectacles were truly epic.
Ole amazing ability to disappear, then reappear coming from another direction a few hours later.
Are you sure Oldman59 wasn’t oldgeezer? I had a hard time comprehending that without my notes. Sorry about that.
Social dinner gathering by the river … at that one resort … Why didn’t everyone want to join in on that one is beyond me. I feel bad everyone else missed out on that one - or both of them. Second is when Ferret and SCCBrider found that dessert.
Everyone working together to line the bikes up to get our first and only large group photo at the IronHorse
Was that SCCBrider that passed us, and where is he going now?
Cormanus reflecting on how Sport bike riders were trying to blend in with the cool CB riders. Was that the first time you were pulled over by the police in the US? You don’t have to answer that. I’m sure our imaginations are better than fiction. If that was the first, then we can all guess what happened during the second. Pterodactyl did a good reenactment of the (possibly) second fairly well already.
Chapomis laughing over Ack posting he could have been a runner for the group.
I honestly look forward to another meet. Thank you everyone.
I’d be curious to hear of others stories and highlights as well. I couldn’t be everywhere and experience everything, so I am sure I missed out on a lot too.
ACK and SCCB would of had a blast !
Riding an unfamiliar rental bike, especially that tall Ducati, I thought you did well.
