Chuck, a couple of good things came out of that. One, you posted up so your still alive to talk about it. Two, you get to pick out a new bike. I hardly ever go to the other sandbox. One FJR forum is enough for me.
Dave, doing well enough. Dianne seems to have gotten the worst of it. Muscle spasms in her back and still really sore. Bike has already beed purchased to replace my '07. I found a clean one owner 2014 less than 2 hours away form me and have already picked it up.
A relatively uneventful EOM compared to the last one I attended, 2016, where 4 FJRs were totaled and a police chase ended in the hotel parking lot. Just PERFECT weather on the last weekend of summer. Too busy riding to play with cameras and computers but here's a little taste
Dave - what you missed was almost perfect riding weather. The only hiccup was the poor decision of a few riders who followed me up onto the BRP Wednesday morning for a nice 45 minutes of zero visibility in dense fog second gear at idle... We did manage to salvage the day by jumping off the BRP at NC215, heading north and dropping onto the Twisty Blast route - which was a blast...
