Didn't want to mention the W word too soon and jinx it, but now that we're less than 12 hours away we should be safe. Weather forecast looks GREAT!! Looks to be beautiful day tomorrow.

I'm going to go after the ADVrider PA Tag in Bradford PA tomorrow morning. I should be there in plenty of time for lunch, but if I run a little late you'll know why. See yinz at lunch!

 
Great getting together with everyone. It looked like every FJR in 3-states showed up. Home safe after surviving Hwy 666 to 66. Looking forward to seeing a trip report, or at least better pictures than mine.

Home safe in Pittsburgh. Great day with good people and good food. Thanks Dean! So nice to see everyone again. I'll try to make EOM next month. Now Joe has me dreaming about a Laam seat. It never ends. At least I hope it never does.

Just arrived home. Had an awesome day of riding fantastic roads, great weather and friends. Got a few pics I'll try to post up later, including some food porn.

Wineguy, to the white courtesy phone please...

Got home about 6:45. I don't understand. It took exactly 2-1/2 hrs

to get there but took me 4:45 to get back. Haha.

It was great getting back on some roads I haven't ridden in

quite awhile. I'd almost forgotten how great a state PA is for riding.

Even being "local" I managed to get in 300 miles today.

Thanks to Dean for putting this together and thanks to everyone

who showed up making it a tremendous success.

I'm already looking forward to next year's.

 
Had a great time. We arrived home about a half hour ago. We accidentally found some amazing roads after we split off from Mike, Tim, and Bruce.

Sorry to say that I missed shaking hands with PhilJet09 and ElToroJoe, who I kinda owe for pushing me to schedule in a few days of riding next month for EOM.

Thanks to all who took the time for riding and socializing. Hats of to Dean. You sir are the hero of the day.

 
Got home at 7:15. Had lunch with a group of great people, collected three TOH photos and rode some fantastic roads. I couldn't ask for a better day.

 
Home safe also. What an AWESOME day of riding and great company!

My apologies to wnyfjr and his crew at the right turn off 666. The Burgmans were having trouble keeping up so there was a decision to go left to follow Dean and KJ to Ellicotville. We caught up with them sipping a pint at EVL Brewing Co. We shared a few stories then made our way home. Got to talk to Mike once we crossed back into Kanuckistan to let him know all was ok.

Thanks Dean for planting the seed that sprouted into a wonderful event!

Oh, you'll have time at EOM, see ya in the parking lot...don't forget, the new guy brings the beer.

 
What a great day yesterday!! Perfect weather and great group meeting up for lunch!! With how well everything went yesterday the bar has been set pretty high for next year, but I'm willing to take that chance again next year. So keep an eye out in mid July to start planning for next years Tippy Canoe Run.

Got home at 9PM safe and sound. A little tired to put a Ride Report together last night but will try to do that tonight or tomorrow, need to get the pictures off my point and shoot.

Now that I'm at work maybe I should get to work.

I guess we were the late crew getting back @ 9:30pm. Dean myself and Deb split off as mentioned after the Triple-6, fun road, needed more speed however ;) My friend from Oil City recommended this road (and the Tippy' after Dean PM'd me about it as a possible location), the 666 did not disappoint anyone I think?, even the slow group w the Berggies (lagging) had fun.

The Tippy Canoe was pretty good. Service was quite adequate, portion size may have been on the small side for our big eaters like brotha TominCA.

Ellicottville Brewing Co. was simply awesome! (btw Mike, it's EBC, not EVL) ;) hehe. We went for 1 (ONE) Pint and accomplished that as planned, until, Mike the Wine Guy shows up with his crew. Mike being the very generous man that he is, bought the entire group another round. We couldn't get patio seating, but we could on the outside bar. Dean and I talked more on this and decided a Fall RTE (there) is in order! Hey, we're IN!

Debbie? Well, it wasn't her first 'Meet or Rally', but it was her first RTE!. She really enjoyed the wide variety of people. Tim & Leanna scored big (she sat next to them at the table) with her, she enjoyed their conversation while she said I was locked up w Tom(inCA) and Mike & Laura BS'ing. All great peeps, I enjoyed everyone's company :) Deb's looking forward to EOM and seeing everyone again... well, except (I think Tim's friend on the green Kawasaki?)... I guess he made some comments that she didn't like very much. Oh well, there's always one in every bunch.

Super Cudo's goes out to Dean. What a great turn out for your first put-together! Can you spell SUCCESS! :) Thanks again Dean! and I hoped you like our brisk ride home winding across 39... remember, I had the radar, so just follow my taillights :) ...hope your wife can come next time however!!!

No problem at all KJ. I knew you had it on and getting as much road behind us while the sun was still up was the best way to go and I had a blast!! :) As for my wife, getting her to ride is taking some time but there has been some progress over the past week; we'll see what next season brings.

I think I'll have some time to post a RR tonight.
