[blueSTormer]

Mary and I are home safe. AND ... I was NOT under the influence, we were doing a free clinic including throat exams to see who would be the worst snorers. .... I failed.
A BIGGGGG thank you to Brian and the family for a terrific welcome. It felt like home.
and a BIGGGGG thanks to Todd and Michelle for letting all the crazies in, over and over.
We love you guys, and now you will have to put up with Mary and I, over and over.:eek:
I will now download my camera and very carefully look for shots of Nelson.:D

[eddiemack]

Hiiiiii Deeee Hooo! Nice riding with you all this year. Hope you all made it home safe. Lots -o- fun!

[AgSTreak]

Let the pain begin!!

[AgSTreak]

More pain!!

[AgSTreak]

On a serious note, I'd like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this event so wonderful. Todd, what more can I say, you're the best. Michele, you are a saint for putting up with us and a goddess for that marvelous chili and salad. Brian, you make this real. I love it that you sneaked off to join us Friday. The staff at Water's Edge is excellent, but you'll pay for that. Bones, great roads, great leadership and just plain great fun. Nelson and Wendy, I love you both. Thank you for being part of our group and helping to make this as sweet as it is. Chris and Sam, thank you for coming all the way from the Great White North. Eddy, your damned (heh, heh) martinis are addictive. Todd said it's not the bikes, it's the people. How true that is. Love you all and again thanks for being part of this!!

[SteveST1300]

Hey all. I got in about 6:15 PM 254 miles from the gas stop after Gillete Castle, 1030 total for the weekend. Another great gathering!:D :tent6: Todd and Michelle once again thanks for the hospitality at your home and at the campground. Michelle what a trooper not feeling well and cooking for a bunch of Badass Biker Dudes Thanks just doesn't seem to be enough! Nelson and Wendy not to be forgotten (even though we abandoned them on the way to the Castle SORRY!!) Providing coffee in the morning and helping Todd and Michelle.:STOC: Brian once again a great success!:STOC: To all the rest see you at NNESTOC. I will go through my pictures later and see what is worthy of posting.
GREAT TIME see you all soon.

[eddiemack]

I'd also like to give a shout out to Captain Morgan! Thanks for stopping by!!!

[Carl_T]

Looks like you guys had a good ride and an awesome time as always. We missed you guys. Post more pictures when you can if you got 'em.

[Bones]

:tent3:

Todd is a really frabjous grill-master...he can cook up practically anything.

[steve3b3]

Wendy managed some decent shots while underway. Jeff and Steve may appreciate this one - would make a nice wallpaper...

Nelson and Wendy,

Thanks for the coffee and the new desktop wallpaper.

Steve

[SKS]

Damn, I'm jealous.

I'll try to make it next year by hook or by crook.

[georgeorge]

It was great having all you hooligans up here again. Unfortunately I didn't take even 1 picture. Too busy riding the bulldozer.

The weekend got an early start at Todd & Michelle's place with a cadiac arrest then belly dancing lessons in the hot-tub. I was unconcious by the time of the belly dancing but I hear there's good video of it somewhere. Next morning I can't beleive we were all ready to ride at 7:30AM. The rain finally died down to a drizzle until we crossed over into Mass. Then it rain. Then it stopped. Was it gonna rain or not!!! Damnit...do I take off the rain gear and Jinx it or not!!!! Oh hell....it's stopped. I'll take off the rain gear for the downpour on the way home! I was soaked. Anyway.....Saturday's ride was in beautiful weather. Even though they were calling for showers all day the sun was out. The weekend ended at Gillette's Castle with a view of an old nipple! HAHAHA.

Schavlan..... you gotta make it next year. It's a great time. I wish I could come up to NH with you guys.... but I can't. Think of me, would ya.

[GRN]

I wish I could come up to NH with you guys.... but I can't. Think of me, would ya.

That won't be tolerated next year... drag the goofball up with ya for a camping weekend at some point next year dude, and hopefully I'll be down for CT3. I'm bummed ya'll missed out on the whole tornado thing this year, that really added depth to the whole experience, especially if you we're in my tent! :D

[eddiemack]

Carl... I don't have to tell you what you missed... you know how these things go down by now. We missed you and Dawn. Brian... thanks for substituting my toast with a english muffin. Todd & Mich... You guys are great.. thanks for the campfire. Thank everyone else for a safe ride. See you all in a couple weeks. Here's more from the digital archive.

[Bones]

Tomfoolery... :crackup

[Bones]

Impishness. :crackup

[Bones]

Merriment. :crackup

[AgSTreak]

Good to hear that was the extent of the damage Bones. Keep an eye on that oil plug.- john

[Bones]

Turnabout. :crackup

[Carl_T]

Awesome photos guys! :yes:

Eddie, I see you brought a blue rubber ducky for Friday’s rain :-D

Never mind helmet head…. WHERE is that AWESOME turn in the road behind Brian???

Bones, Please! Please! Please, tell me that is NOT oil pan fins from your engine?????
:eek: :eek: :eek:

[GRN]

looks like fins to me... couldn't bring myself to ask... kinda have to believe he doesn't want to remember... :eek:

[Carl_T]

Bones, I have two names for you... JB Weld, and a Dremel Tool to make the glue job look clean.

[georgeorge]

Bones, Please! Please! Please, tell me that is NOT oil pan fins from your engine?????
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Yeah those are Oil Pan fins!:eek: .... But more importantly, whose paying for my rock!:mad:

[newbornst1300]

Sam and I pulled in the driveway about 5PM today after riding a total of 1300miles over four days. NY sure looks better when its sunny.:D
Many thanks to everyone for making this a fantastic event.:bow1: :bow1:

[eddiemack]

I don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but Bob is a cutter. He cut us in line a Dunkn Donuts.

[Carl_T]

Wow, was it a GOLD rock, that could be expensive Bones, ya chipped the rock :D


Hey, blowing bubble gum and drinking beer at the same time for a photo op is a definite skill, glad you got it Eddie.

[eddiemack]

I wish I could post a audio/video file... I have the drama queen (bones) spewing some smack.

[SteveST1300]

Brian as I understand it it was a dead rock and Bones will be sending the bill for a new motor to Watersedge, addressed to you!;)

[georgeorge]

No....... we are careful to remove all dead rocks. That one was definitely live. I'll be sending the bill to Bones' insurance. I think I'll add in a few hours to remove the "now" dead rock.:D

[georgeorge]

Oh and on a positive note, my cleaning lady says to me...."I don't know who was in rental #1 but they should get the cleanest unit of the year award". Then she said something about how it looked like a bunch of bikers were in #3.:D

[SteveST1300]

Hey I washed the dishes!:D By the way the trailer was great thanks!!!:yr1:

[blueSTormer]

"I don't know who was in rental #1 but they should get the cleanest unit of the year award".
Well Brian, this will make up for losing out on the raffle. Mary and I will pick up the award at next year's event.:D
And by the way, we left it like we found it, immaculate! Thanks again.

[blueSTormer]

I had so much fun that I didn't take ANY goofy pictures! Maybe I can make it up at NNESTOC!
You are off the hook this time Nelson.

[georgeorge]

Now if we could only get some of those southern boys up here to have some fun. They don't know what they're missing.

[steve3b3]

Sorry for the late reply. . I've been busy with work and things.
I had a really great time and I'm looking forward to our next get together.

Thank you Michelle and Todd for all your hard work and hospitality. And thank you Brian and your family for all your generousity and hard work too. You all made this weekend a grand memorable event.
Somewhere I heard that it's best not to mesure yourself up by wealthiness of your friends but, by the richness of your friends. It's amazing what a weekend like this has done for all of us. I feel I've gained a new friendship with each and every one of you. - Thanks. :)

Here are a few more pictures for your enjoyment.

[georgeorge]

There were no throat inspections going on here. This is what I heard.

Beware the Demon Rock, my son!
The ridge that bites the oil pan!
Beware it chews the cooling fins
Off ST's from Japan!

[Carl_T]

Oh Al.... that picture of Eddie,

:crackup :crackup :crackup I'm working and I just wet myself, it's embarrasing. At least I work alone, whew!

[blueSTormer]

Gee thanks Brian. And here I was thinking all the time that our resident wordsmith Bones was the cunning linguist.:censored
I think I'll tell Mary that the website has gone down tonight. Maybe I should rephrase that. Maybe I've said enough.:o:

[eddiemack]

.......... and a few more

Guilty. :wink:

[CTYankee]

With a weigh station just around the bend, a planful Bones decides to lose some ballast before proceeding...

[CTYankee]

What a great time!

[steve3b3]

What a great time!
Nelson,

Nice pics!
It's almost like I was there.

Oh, Wait!...

Steve

I was saying to someone at CT-SToc that we need more action shots, and then Wendy and you oblige...

[steve3b3]

BTW Nelson that is a nice clear shot of the ST's carving in motion and it makes a great screen background.

Brian - It's obvious you were having soo much fun. And Steve, who was smiling next to you, didn't even flinch. ;) :D

[blueSTormer]

Couple of photoshop "artistic" edits. Warp speed and Early fall palette.
