 Fred and Gina left this morning. We rode to Newport with them had lunch and said our good bye's.

Not sure where we found room for lunch after dinner last night.

This picture is in Grand Ronde Oregon a few miles from the house.

We were too busy dreaming of the pajama tickle fight we had planed for you two after your ride (did I just say that out loud?)

  Did I miss something?

Did I miss something?  

 LOL!! You have to know the way Roger thinks by now don't you Carolyn? We had a great time meeting you and John. Be sure and let us know if you two make it down this way in September. We'd love to show you around or just meet for a meal....Melanie

Mr and Mrs. Magoo, Rooster and everyone else that helped to prepare for this event.

Thank you again for all the hard work you put into this event. We had a wonderful and unforgettable time.
It was the first long trip for Sharon and I and we had no idea that we would have so much fun.
The planning was perfect, the food was great and the rides and scenery were awesome.
The evenings, outdoors on the deck of the Hood River Inn, enjoying a few cocktails and some dinner was totally relaxing.
We met some great, interesting and fun loving people and We will be talking about this trip for a long time.
I hated for it to end.
I hope to see everyone together again at the next GTG.


The only bad part about this trip is that I found some rather expensive "Gotta have it's" on Terry's (Roosters) bike.
It's gonna cost me some money. Dang it Terry.


I also want to thank Jim (HD-dude) for setting up my ride. It performed flawlessly.
We were two-up,  fully loaded riding in rain and temps well over 100 degrees.
We pulled the hills around Grants Pass (Temp near 100 degrees) with no issues at all.
No Pinging, no overheating and plenty of power.
I think it was 112 degrees in Red Bluff when we pulled in.
I got stuck in some traffic at stop lights (idling) and still no overheating and no pinging when pulling away from the line.
We looked like hell but the scoot hung in there.
Having a dependable ride made this trip that much more enjoyable.


Thank you all
Jim and Sharon

Why is it I get blamed for everything? Yes I got my PAD, thanks for leaving a clean one this time Love you too man. Glad you made it home safe! Roger, the smart, good looking one  

They got laws that govern truth in advertising.  You should have said "Roger....the one that looks like Ernest.....know what I mean Vern?"

Jim, (Gadget), all those gadgets came from this site. We all find things along the way that we and many others like and add them to our bike to give more comfort, power, and certain looks. And the longer you hang out here on this site you will add more too. Besides what makes a person feel good instantly other than a new addition to there bike. I can remember on the trip to Nelson Canada many of us met the first nite at the Grand Coulee Dam a few of us went from bike to bike and would start by asking, ok what do you have on your bike. I went home with a big shopping list. HA HA. Enjoyed your company at the GTG, Next stop SAN JUAN BATISTA!!!!

Here's one of me on Terriez Street Glide while enrolled in the JCZ California Riding School!  Seriously, riding with JC with the bluetooth helmet is definitely a learning experiment.  He taught me sooooo much about countersteering (with one hand) and helped me get over my fear of semi's!  I told JC he needs to open a riding school!!!  He told me he'd send me his bill!   

Look at V......riding one handed, even in the curves.  Counter steering, push-pull steering, what ever you want to call it rapidly accelerates your skill level.  V could't believe how much easier it was to get through the curves.

I couldn't believe it when I told her to set the cruise control and she said "how do I do that.....I've never done that before".  Talking to her via the wireless intercom, she was able to learn counter steering, all the features of cruise control (cruise, resume, accelerate or decelerate at increments of 1 mph, etc.) as well as how to stay in the tire path that she's riding in, even when passing other vehicles.

Lastly, I learned that she'd been using her legs to steer around curves with (pressing down on the floor boards.....steering with upper body).  So when she learned counter steering she also learned that she could now use the highway pegs.  The photo of her shows her riding one handed, feet on the highway pegs with cruise control on.

She progressed quite a bit over the 200 miles that she rode Terrie's bike.  Her boyfriend back in Georgia (I believe it's Jeff......talked with him on the phone for a few) should find it a new experince riding with her, now.  I was happy to help you V.......you were a great student......my bill is in the mail!
