Still rainy and wet here in Kalamazoo, so I have not even left yet.  If it drys up before 4, I could still ride over there.

Well crap.  Dried up and got sunny so i got ready, now its on the verge of storming some more.

Well, looks like a nice day for a ride finally so omw.  Should take me 2 plus hours.

This Nebraska guy is pretty jealous,  I would love to meet you guys and see your machines!  Maybe I can load up a trailer full(small trailer) and participate next year.  I could probably arrange a tour of the Lincoln Kawasaki Factory if members wanted to travel to Nebraska, although it would be way cooler if they were still making motorcycles.  Speedway Motors also has a World Class Museum in Lincoln that people would surely find interesting.  

Hope you're all having fun,  I look forward to the Movie!    Mike

Made it home.  Had a great ride.  It was awesome to meet all you guys.  Thanks so much for the hospitality!  I got a couple pics from my ride i will post tomorrow.

Horribly jealous that this is so far away. Would have been awesome to meet a bunch of you IRL. Looking forward to pics!

We Had A BLAST !!!!!!!!!!!!
Les Holt and Lawrence  ( Saxon ) got here Friday afternoon.  And stayed at my place 
Opening Cocktail party was award winning  ,  Pork loin , Hungarian gulosh  ( Cant spell  LOL ) corn on the cob,  Sunshine ( Moonshine made during the day LOL )
Brad trailered his trike out in the morning  and went home to ride back in with Trouton his LTD... Poor Trout was half drown  ,but we dried him out . 
Matt  Mikaw came out and it was great to meet him too.  Sean made it out  after a rain delay and shared his LTD with us .
My Veteran bud Laszlo had a great time  and was made welcome  ( Of course his cooking was appreciated  )
Well Ghostdive  , wish you made it  . we all checked out bikes , Bench raced a million miles , Talked till  we couldnt and laughed till our faces hurt.
Now I admit to getting well lubed  up but nobody left  drunk . Les and I are old Buds  and  it was like old home week for us   Thanks for coming Bro !!!!!!!!!!
House is quiet now  and   going to shave the fur off my teeth and  scrap the dirt  off in the shower 
Lets do this again .We all never left the polebarn  to go boating or have a fire  and nobody cared  LOL
 Bill   Our fearless leader was a video guest of honor at  our party and Im sure he enjoyed himself as well. I know the members here  were glad to have him with us .
 I will be back soon with some pictures
Thanks for a great time and memory

Dave, Thank you! To You, your wife and your beautiful home for offering to host. I had a great time. Sorry I chickened out and didn’t ride out, but I had a feeling the weather man was wrong. Shankkole and Trout proved me right, poor guys were soaked. You Two get the tough guy award for riding in the rain. It was really great to meet everyone. The conversation was great, I learned a lot. Makes you really appreciate the talent it takes to build quality machines. Beyond the great conversations the thing that stuck with me the most, the willingness to help, to share, try to make others better. We need more of that, and I’m glad I was able to experience it with a totally new group.  

Actually Chostdive gets the credit for getting this started it would be great for everyone to experience it. It’s easy reach out to others in your area. Plan your own get together. 

Thank you to Kz Rider for the opportunity for us to have a great day. I really would like to get another flag relay started. Thoughts?

     Kind of in the same boat Dave, just starting to recover but, as usual, you and Deb were fantastic host, really miss coming up there every summer and I had a great time plus it was a very needed break for me. Met some pretty cool guys, good conversations, good drink and food. Now, it's just over a 5 hour drive, I made it home in time to throw my luggage down and leave to do our family's fathers day dinner. 
     Hope to do this again, Miss and I talked, maybe next year we can host a similar event here, we also have some beautiful country sides around here to enjoy. 
     Here's a pic of Fridays sunset sitting on their deck, beautiful setting!

I had a little scare on the ride home Saturday.  Anyone ever get hit by a flying turkey?  I saw her coming, flew out of a tree on the ditch and swooped down low across the road.  I hit the tank like I was speeding down the 1/4 mile drags, felt her wings or tail brush across my back.  If that bitch had hit me I think I would have gone down!  I sit back up and I can see the passengers in the rear seat of the car in front of me cracking up and pointing.  Must have been a hell of a sight.

I had a great time hanging out with you guys.  I appreciate the advice given on my bike issues.  I don't know how soon ai will get around to working on it, but if I can't my clutch smoothed out I will be coming to see ya Dave!
