Shiny side up everyone.
Platform better have the HD logo on it, otherwise it's horseshit. Also, if you use the HD ones, it adds 5 HP. Doesn't matter that your bike is turned off and not moving, you always want additional HP.

For those of you getting in Friday, we'll have more than enough empty beer cans that can serve this purpose so if you don't have one, no need to fret

Looks like it's gonna have to be next year for me. I gotta make hay when it's time to make hay.
The dew up there is crazy mad. Take a couple trash bags to cover your stuff (kitchen bag, the stump you're sitting on, etc.) before sundown. The usual suspects know this.
Godspeed.

Damn shame, HarleyScuba. Was looking forward to meeting you this year. I'm sure this will be a continued tradition.

Hope all is well.

Great times. Every time. I'm looking foreword to our next outing.

There is much to be said about a woman who'll help you hotwire a scooter.

Another great weekend.

First gas stop, 3 nails in the rear.
Fire breathing class.
Melting points.
200 mile apple runs.
Riding in clouds, getting my BRP fix.
Lots of High Life.
Fires and smoke.
Watching bullets fly.
Push starting vulcans.
Amazing views.
Seeing old friends.
Lots of talk about the smoke out.
Does John have eyebrows still?
Hit and miss rain but who cared?
Chopped Noton.
Riding the snake in the dark.
New faces.
Birthday cupcakes.
Old Grand Dad with Red Stag.
Hearing a black bear in a few tents.

Just a few things I can remember as of right now.
If you missed it, you really missed it.

I'm glad I made that last minute decision to just do it. I had a blast hanging out with y'all and I'm lookin' forward to the next.

I don't think watching qualifies as helping. I'm just glad you had enough gas to make it home.
