You had had you 'last word' and Don had to come in and have the last,last word.

It was Don's idea, but a whole lot of people stepped up to the plate to make sure it completed its planned circuit, some of them riding /stupid/ distances in the process. I think one of the shirts is sitting at Jack and Lori Hunt's campground in Tellico Plains TN. (shameless plug opportunity taken) http://huntslodge.com/ Top of the range as campgrounds go, we stayed in one of the immaculate little cabins (me, my wife and son) last summer, and caught the tail end of a NART reunion. Among the finest roads in the USA. > (Been looking at your home page, btw - man, that Yamaha 1300 is even > uglier than I remembered) I'm fond of saying that I spend little time looking at my bike while I'm riding it. It's a good thing to remember when bike shopping. It isn't the world's best looking bike. but I love the Black Cherry color, no other FJR beside the '07 non-AE model got it. |
