Thanks for the push on Saturday a.m. Marty!

And for WheatonFJR, I rode Cty P a few times for ya! :yahoo:

Even though they are only a river apart from each other, it never ceases to amaze me how vastly different Wisc and Minn are as far as countryside is concerned <or maybe I just need to get out more>. This weekend was postcard picture perfect.

Major Kudos to Rick, Marty and Jesse for a fine event. I think those guys even spent some time sweeping all the twisties clean of gravel before we got there. Now that's true dedication!

What an awesome time! Let's see those pictures...

 

First I want to say, whatever it may look like, these guys are NOT in Richland Center at "Fiesta Fe" eating tacos 70 miles from the hotel and the group picture is in half an hour. Nope, not them...



We told Gary his helmet was too small, but would he listen? Noooo...



Nobody noticed ShowMeMo.



Some sweet Wisco views.





Did I mention the roads?



And the Friendly Dealership.



Coffee and donutz... I only had one, well maybe two.



Checking out the Merch...



Talking Bikes.







Bustanut finally made it.



Those three wheel Can-Am things are fun in more ways than one!



Thanks again 2Brothers!



One of the cool destinations at CFO. The Big Cat Rescue Sanctuary. They get to live out their lives in comfort instead of bad situations created by stupid humans.













Saturday Night Banquet.









Some Boozer.



Raffle winner MNFJR Pilot/Mark. Proceeds go to Eddies Road.

A set of Bridgestone BT-023's!



Swag Drawing!



























NinjaChick with some weirdo.











More boozing.



Thanks to everybody for showing up. It was Awesome! See you next year.

 

:yahoo: Oh yeah... and NAFO 2014. Don't miss it!! :yahoo:

The other side of the river in Minnie-Soda





OH Yeah! It's all good

You'll have to make it next time!

So, I'm on my way to EOM and I had time to go through what few photos I have for CFO. I'm chilling out in Kingston, TN doing a load of laundry and drinking a beer. Rough life.

As for photos from CFO... for some reason I spent a hell of a lot of time riding and shooting the bull with folks rather than taking photos. Go figure.

EDIT to add: The photos and ride report for my trip after leaving CFO are here.

The Lobby (Thanks for the tires Bridgestone!)



The Check-In Table with badges and stickers and stuff



A bit of riding on Friday









Saturday morning at 2Brothers Powersports in Onalaska




















The Saturday lunch stop for the group I was in

The is the Stockyard Grill & Saloon in Coon Valley, WI. They were shorthanded so the service was slow but the food was really good. It's conveniently located at the end of County Roads Part 1 and the beginning of County Roads Part 2.



Thanks again to everyone. I had a great time and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Nice people & hospitality at Two Brothers, they really treated us well. So well in fact that I was surprised when they turned me down on the only bike I wanted to test ride.

I mean, after all, it's just and old used bike.

Yeah, T, you shoulda been here! I was just trying to "hang on" in the twistys behind these guys - did more curves than we got in the whole state of FL LOL.

Great time; now in Napoleon, MI and heading out tomorrow for points south.

One more thing that makes 'sconsin great:

Thirsty?

So I take it you had a cutest couple contest?
