Yep I made it on down here just fine though it took me a bit longer than expected. Well, I am dying for a great cup of coffee again, maybe I'll ride back for one in a few days or have you Fedex me a cup Next day air LOL When I got here I found out that Dee is on Decaf now because of meds and stuff. Well I'll have some great coffee when I get home, but for now I'm stuck with instant Folgers LOL Yuck LOL My trunk smells really GOOD though with all that coffee in there.

Well, I guess the last of the stragglers finally made it home now from Front Royal. LOL Was a great trip, I got home about 3AM Sunday. Was a great trip, about 1K ride into Front Royal in about 20hrs, nice long over night ride which got a bit cold at times. Leaving I hit hard rain around Cumberland MD which lasted through the mountains and all the way to Dads place, and it was really cold! Couple days at dads. My Wing kept the ACC on and that ran down my battery which I charged then never had that problem again rest of trip. Rode to Pilot Mnt, NC and met up with Jobe5 and had a great time. I was getting there way too late riding back roads from WV through VA that night so I stopped at Exit 1 in NC on I77 and slept at the rest area. Really nice place, clean and quite, but it got cold over night! Met up with Jobe5 next day and had a great visit and we got out and rode up to top of the mountain. Very nice. Great folks! Great Coffee too. I left there and rode to my friends place in SC, nice ride. Pretty much just sat there for 2 weeks, only riding was a 400 mile round trip up to see Bagmaster one day. Nice ride through the woods, BUT it got cold on way back after dark in those woods! Being about 70-80F that day I just took a few things with me, my HEAVY coat was not one of them LOL Being in the deep south what do I need a heavy coat for? Well I found out after dark LOL The ride back was COLD! I did have a heavy shirt and my gloves, so cold but survivable LOL Left SC and rode over to visit Rudy. Had a really great time! More great folks! Left Rudy's place about 3PM on Sat. and got home about 3AM Sunday. Was a really nice ride. Being I wanted to get home and avoid hotels I rode the night and took the slabs home for faster time. It got a bit cold for a bit, not bad, and I was dressed pretty warm. All that night riding I've done and I have not seen much for night critters. I think most the deer I saw was more during day than at night. All in All, it was a great trip of about 3 weeks total and about 3K or so miles. No real problems, just the wing sometimes not shutting off the ACC when key turned off. Mostly it was only for a couple minutes, except at Dad's where it stayed on till battery dead! Not happened since. I met allot of great folks during the trip! Home now for the time being. Would I make the trip again, YOU BET! Already wondering what the weather may be for next couple weeks and where can I go LOL I do have to do some work at home now that I am here. This trip is officially over now that I am home, Next trip perhaps the Gulf Coast around MS. somewhere in a couple weeks?

Glad you made it home safe my friend, and glad you had a good time in your journey's. For a while, I was concerned for you riding at night, kept thinking about those little fury animals jumping out....... Then thought about what those little fury animals would have seen if they had jumped out on front of you......... Certainly a case were they are more afraid of you....... Now you have a gps, and a camera. Now you need to mount that camera and get some pics!

Doing nicely with the GPS, should have got one years ago I think. I never knew how nice it was to have one till now. Yes, I think I scare the furry things more than they scare me LOL I'll work on that soon. I think a bit less hair would be nice LOL Maybe about half would do fine. Yes, now if I put that camera to some use! I carry one but seldom use it for some reason. I need a mount so it's easy to grab and always ready to shoot. Also perhaps ride more in the daytime or carry a flood light with me LOL
