On my way to Charlottesville to pick on Maid Marian.

On a side note, Steve and I are bringing the S1000RR, the K1200S and the KTM Super Duke.

Also, I don't remember ... are the cabins booked thru Monday morning?

Good morning all...

Hey... for all you guys headed to HMSP ( I'm envious of course..) BUT having just looked at the national weather map, I'm hoping those like Scott and Bob and the others from the midwest manage not to get soaked through and through !! Have a safe ride all, and for Phil and me, enjoy a hot Irish coffee once you get there !

Have fun..............// Ernie in NH

In Asheville, just joined the "I dropped my K bike " club. Slow speed parking lot drop . Left mirror and a latch broke. Pride hurt worst of all. See you at HMSP.

Ernie,

Wish you were here too!

Had a different kind of trip here- towing the bikes instead of the I-91/84/81 riding drone was a bit more relaxed, especially since Jen, our daughter, did most of the driving. Dad and Mom relaxed.

But with Phil missing Crying or Very sad

it also feels different.

Weather looks to be good for the next couple days with maybe a shower or two thrown in- but that's normal springtime SW Virginia, right?

Hope to have lots of ride pictures posted (today? tomorrow?)

See you soon- maybe meet up with Jim at his farm.

John

Home safe and sound....left at 8:30 got home at 2:35. Nice fast ride home with nice cool grey weather, a little light rain, but mostly nice and comfortable. Total trip mileage, 988 miles.

I had a great trip! The weather was better than usual and the company was awesome. We had a 150 mile corner clinic ride on Friday with Steverino leading the way and taking us on some of the most incredible roads I've ever ridden on. That was as many twisties as I usually get in a whole year. Thanks Steve!

Gwen did a great job of keeping us fed, thanks Gwen! (and Marion, and Cathy).

And thanks to Jim as usual for setting it all up!

I didn't take a whole lot of photos as there were many with far better equipment and ability taking a lot of pictures, I hope to see them soon.

Sugarhill and family at a pullout overlook. Notice the big hairpin further down behind them.

The view from that lookout across the valley.

Some of the gang hanging.

A break stop during the twisties ride.

The guys didn't give me too much flak for taking the new bike....not a K.

Already looking forward to next year!

Back home safe and sound from HMSP V. Accept for about 15 miles of rain on the BRP a good ride home. Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome. Jim, once again thanks for getting me in at the last minute and setting up the Lodge. A great gathering place. Gwen, thanks for the tutorial on my transmission and clutch and for hauling half your house up there so we would have adequate kitchen supplies. Audi, appreciate the advice on the tires and Scott thanks for the pop rivets so I could repair my latch. Picked up a lot of information on the bike and got some great suggestions from you all! Look forward to next year.
Be safe,

David

We got home about 1645. All unpacked and unloaded now.

As usual it was a magical time surrounded by friends old and new, bikes and bike talk, rain and food, rides and dropped bikes. Embarassed

You are all welcome. It was truly my pleasure.

FWIW I'm IN on the Wednesday start date.

Second, I'm NOT bringing the dogs next year. Too much bother.

Audi, here's a re-post of 2011 pics.

I'll upload these in two days.
I have some other things that need attention right now.

Love ya all,
Gwen

Some of these pics were taken on my drive up to HMSP 5. I'll leave the best shots to Steven, Donna and the others.

A nice LT with side car I saw on the BRP @ Mt Mitchell
