Just got home a short while ago. Just under 600 miles taking the Arky detour. Part of the way with Galaxy Blue/Adam who left and then I continued on with The Imperial Lumpkin, Iron Butt Rider, Twistie Terror and all around Bon Vivant, Scooter. The boy did very well on the twisties for a new guy, hell, even for experienced riders. When I left him about 4:30 west of Eureka Springs, we had covered 350+ miles and he still had 1,325 to go to get home. We took Hy 62 across Norhern AR and it was disappointing. He will have to come back for the Mountain View event to see the good Arkansas roads.
It was great seeing all of you guys again and meeting the new ones. The weather could not have been better yesterday and today was a copy. The rain on Friday was probably a good thing as all of the mechanic work got done and no one was ancy to get out and ride.
We were truly blessed in that no one had any riding incident and there were a lot of miles covered at some ultra-limit speeds. Luckily we had 3 or so ex HiPatrol to make sure that we were mindful of the limits. HAH! Those miscreants were shameless in their cavalier attitude and scofflaw obeyance of the speed limits.
Scooter is one tough dude. Riding 1,500+ miles in 21 1/2 hours to get there Friday AM and then join us the next morning to ride 400+ miles of high speed twisties and then leave Sunday AM for 1,600 miles to get home so that he can leave Weds. for Washington. Class guy.
What can I say about Smitty? The problem with having him for a friend is that you can never repay him for all the things he does for you. I think everyone there can attest to that. Three cheers for Smitty and his brother Darrell for the BBQ Saturday night!
To those of you who could not make it, you missed a great day, a great ride, and a good group of people, and, you were probably talked about!
