    Did Jon also tell you he and I are at an old Catholic school/church in Bend that is now a bar/restaurant/music venue/soaking pool/theater? We're taking in a Pirate folk band, The Rum and the Sea :thumbsup: Good times! That boy can put away the beer!!

    He definitely has that certain look that clearly points to a slow ride the next day.

    Looking forward to seeing you guys. Drive safe! I did about 200 miles in the snow yesterday, yet arrived to blue sky in Bend. I love this town!

    Took these this morning...

    3-4 inches of snow at camp 25. Nice turnout with more rolling in this afternoon. It's cool enough that we plan to start riding around noon on Sat. I'm back in town for the night at my brother's.

    Good to see familiar faces and new.

    Where's breakfast ? !

    Riding in the snow... a whole lot of people had a great time. :)

    At dinner last night I realized that some people may have missed this, which I just now moved from the Newsroom to a sticky in a new location.

    It could well be that he has much input where to focus the direction on what bikes should be made in the future.

    I will try to get him to say a few words today, and possibly offer a Q&A session.... but with all the people riding, not sure what the best time that would be.

    Not to worry, though, as the generator was keeping the coffee urn hot... P1000374.JPG

    Not many pics on my phone, hopefully some good ones on the Go-Pro, but those will have to wait until I get home.

    Here is us loading up. Kelly told my youngest he would hide him away in the back with his bike, and when we got here, He could pop out and surprise me. He then replied "ya, but my mommy would be sad if I left her"

    THAT was a good time! It was great to meet a bunch of like-minded and like-branded people. Often when a large group of people gets together there are one or two people looking crosseyed across the campfire at each other, it was awesome to not see any of that.

    Tami, Dave, Kevin, Russ, Josh and Jon - that was one heck of a FUN RIDE! Video is forthcoming, but I'm so slow and out of shape for the dirt that not many will be seen except at intersections haha.

    Coffee's Moto-Mule. I didn't make the time to take it for a spin, I wanted to, it's very cleverly designed.

    You guys that didn't make it, you didn't miss anything, it was horrible, you wouldn't have had any fun at all.
