Where can I start??? Where do I finish???

[Austin city limits]

Finally slept last night and can actually spell my name today,,, I was unfrigg'nably tired yesterday... Though,,, I still had to finish my mom's estate taxes no matter that... :( :hyp1:

I can not thank everyone enough on how everyone helps with the Moonshine Run... The Locals who always do far more than they are asked... Kenny/Jason for selling shirts,,, moving shirts and table the 9 times it took... Toypro/Dan for cooking and help behind the scenes... He even sent some of the Pork Loin inside and didn't eat it all... 8^) BaddBob and many others who helped with Registration... Having Putt attend again... Worth having the MLR right there,,, and would be a whole lot less trouble if we did it that way too... :D

I hope everyone who helped followed the Moonshine Rule... "Only do what you want to do,,, and only do it if you are having fun"

To Jody/WebWizard what can I say but,,, you saved my life,,, again... 3 months of signing people up takes a toll on a person and having the Web Site Jody has for the Moonshine Run takes a ton of burden off... Though,,, if you are stupid enough and keep adding stuff even Jody can't help you... :crackup

I am asked over and over,,, Why do I do this??? With all the friends I have made,,, and the smiles I see,,, how can I not??? ;)

Moonshine sold,,, "Officially",,, 605 Moonburgers... 2nd most,,, E V A R ! ! !

We had over 400 people at Moonshine!!! Only a little over 1/2 signed in and registered... This is about normal... What we had out of those who signed in was,,,

We had 150 ride over 500 miles Round Trip...

We had 68 ride over 1,000 miles Round Trip...

We had 47 ride over 1,200 miles Round Trip...

We had 27 ride over 1,500 miles Round Trip...

We had 22 ride over 1,600 miles Round Trip...

We had 20 ride over 1,800 miles Round Trip...

We had 15 ride over 2,000 miles Round Trip...

We had 11 ride over 2,200 miles Round Trip...

We had 4 ride over 2,400 miles Round Trip!!!

When the dust finally settled and the last rider signed in on Saturday this is what it shows... These are the total miles ridden round trip,,, not a direct route to and from Moonshine... :D

# 5 ~~~ Pat McGhie ~~ Honda Gold Wing ~~ Hudson New Hampshire ~ 2258 miles

# 4 ~~~ Greg North ~~ Honda ST-1300 ~~ Grantham New Hampshire ~ 2406 miles

# 3 ~~~ Will England ~~ Honda ST-1100 ~~ Overland Park Kansas ~ 2,500 miles

# 2 ~~~ George Catt ~~ Honda ST-1100 ~~ Kingman Arizona ~ 3,800 miles

# 1 ~~~ Pete Rodgers ~~ Honda ST-1300 ~~ Oasis British Columbia ~ 4,362 miles

Next year??? It will be hard to beat this year,,, but someway,,, we always do...

Thanks to Everyone who showed they will ride through anything!!! Just 9 months till the Moonshine Sign up begins again!!! :bow1:

My hat is off to all of you for all the work that everyone puts into Moonshine. I was happy to come for the first time and enjoyed myself. My family and co-workers all think I'm nuts, ride 700 miles for a burger! But it was worth it, so keep up the great work.

I noticed that your list of long distance bikes only has Honda ST's. I saw a lot of different makes of bikes at Moonshine, so is this list just of the long distance ST's? Or are these the absolute long distance winners out of all the bikes?

I just want to say, My husband and I had a wonderful time. The weather...it didn't matter. Cold on Sunday when we arrived home @ 2:30pm...sure but nothing a HOT shower didn't cure.

Thank you Terry for doing this event, thanks to all who helped and the people of Casey & Moonshine! Best run I have ever done!

It was nice to meet people from the forum and a others who don't post here. I do wish I met everyone from the forum. I missed a few of you. Putt being one :) Tho I did see you...;)

Be back next year!

Tom,
You have mistakenly added some inappropiate punctuation after my name. It should be an exclamation point! :D
