Back safe thread
Wow was great to see old faces and new at the rally. I'm just back home pulling in just after 4:00pm today. Roughly 6 hrs only stopping for gas once and at the border. Oh and one stop to argue with my GPS.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe trip home.

It was great seeing everyone again.
Cindy and I made it home the same day we left the motel also. I had to make a few stops to rest but you know, 3 hours on a motorcycle takes a lot out of a guy.

Sue and I along with Dave and Mary arrived at our house about 6 PM. Two major accidents on Route 4 east of Rutland had traffic pretty much stopped for about 30 minutes, and then construction a little further down the road had everything at a standstill again for maybe another 30 minutes. That along with typical Friday traffic, one gas stop, and a short lunch break turned what should have been a 4-1/2 hour ride home into a 7 hour ordeal. But we made it safe, and that is what counts.
Also, Mike and Shanna arrived home about 30 minutes before us. Was really great to see everyone again and to meet up with many new folks for the first time. It was over way too fast.

We stopped a few miles short of Bristol, TN.
All the way across Tennessee and Arkansas and we're home.

Lois and I made it back about 2 this afternoon. Spent Friday night in Hogansburg NY. Right next to the Mohawk casino. Didn't get rich with that experience. On the bright side it was fantastic wifi at the motel. Just a step up from what we had at the motel in Lake George.
It was great seeing everyone and meeting some new folks as well. Looking forward to the next one already

Gail and I made it home safely, We hit the same traffic on Rt4 as Tom, Boston rush hour was a bear, being stuck in the tunnel not fun. We would like to thank everyone who made the Rally happen and looking forward to the next.

Got home @ 6:15. The Northeast boys did a great job and our group leader was fantastic. Thanks TC for 2 great rides and 1 short one. You and Cindy did a great job and I love those loud pipes on Cindy's bike.

Made it home. Great to see everyone again and the people I hadn't met until too. Thanks, to the North Eastern group for a great rally. I hated to leave, especially when I got to St Louis and the thermometer said it was 106 degrees. Great job guys (and gals). 3,576 miles total.
