We're home as well. I'm beat. I was in a truck. I don't see how Jesse did it.
One tough hombre.

Wow Jesse. That looks like 2 700 mile days or one Saddlesore 1000 and 400 the next.

We are safe and sound in Bar Harbor, ME - but a long way from home.

classic1 · 07-23-2017, 10:31 AM

Sorry for the late post. We got home about 12:30 pm yesterday. We all stopped in Harrisburg PA for Fri night. The air temp was getting more hot and humid the farther south we rode.
This was the first "national rally" that we have attended and again, as usual, we met more great people and had a great time. And again, as usual, "WE CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT RALLY".

Home. 9 days, 3000 miles and 12 states (10 new ones). Had a Awesome time. Thanks to everyone for a great rally. Especially Tom, he put a lot of time and effort into this.

And Framer I did have to ride @ 200 miles on the last day in the rain. I hope that makes you happy.

We had a great time and Lance made the rounds. He will likely be a motor head some day.

We stopped by son Jonathan's in-laws, for lunch and had great time, It was a nice break in the middle of our trip. We were home by 6:00 pm.

Thanks Lois for the photo of my Bagger family. May our paths pass again some time..

Glad you could spend this time with your family. Hope to catch you the next time.

I'm in Dublin, VA tonite and should get home tomorrow. Last 100 miles today was torture! Burning 18 wheeler, burning car, and 2 separate accidents. Lots of creeping or sitting still in the sun. But no rain!

**Rasta** · 07-23-2017, 11:47 PM

Have a safe end to your journey

**Kawhead** · 07-24-2017, 03:32 AM

Very late post y'all and sorry about that, I got home Saturday afternoon. We had decent weather all the way home until we got about a half mile from the house and then the cloudy skies opened up on us. We didn't stop for rain suits because we had less than a mile. We got home and had to peel the soaked cloths off and pour the rain out of our boots. We got a shower and my wife road up to a near by diner and got us a fish dinner and after that I was toast for the night,,,, and then I went to work Sunday at noon.

And here I am!!!!

Thanks Tom for putting all this together for everybody. Things like this take tremendous effort , an effort that very few people have. You did spectacular!!!
A great ride to Vermont as well!!!

I also want to thank everybody that showed up, as Dave mentioned, it's the great people that make the complete. That fort and mountains and streams and nice restaurants have been there for a while but it so much better to see those things with folks who share a common interest.
