I have to apologize once again for not getting to meet many of the newcomers....but I did get to meet a few...Shibing....you my young friend, I enjoyed the run into the lodge with you...you will be back for sure. As, usual sat and relaxed with old friends. It was a nice relaxing couple of days...You were missed Franc as well as a host of other regulars. There were a lot and I mean a lot of new faces there. I saw Alicia....and her daughter I assume navigator, lol, and just many others I will have to put names to. Lisa got to ride with me since her ride was down awaiting parts and Rudy the "soon to be" married mechanic...who's bride to be is one nice person...you all need to meet. Rudy made the repair, as some other installs while there. I have to tell the Michigan crew I didn't mean to run off. My walkie was dead and I didn't realize it until you exited the interstate for fuel...I will shut up now, but as you can tell from my excitement, it was a fun get away, and to those I didn't get to shake hands with, I do apologize. Red Dog, I was trying to meet you, but you were in conversation just about everytime I walked your way...lol. Glad to see the younger owners there, as you will be the future of the event... I hope to keep attending as long as I can. Finally, it is a good thing I have all this money invested in 2 SRT's, because after riding in Steve's Yellow Spool Bus....Porsche come's to mind...what a ride that is...YOU all need to ask Rudy what happened on our EXIT from the Dragon on the way home...lol See you all soon....
