2009 BMWMOA Rally!

OK, since John has a much better photo than I have of Sue, me, Neil, and himself, I've posted up a few other pics that I took while at the rally and/or along the way to it - I rode down to Tennessee from New Hampshire by first going out a bit past Binghamton, New York and picking up Route 220, and following that same Route ALL the way through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia to Roanoke, VA, and then hopping onto the I-80 over to TN.

Here are some photos in my album on this site, hopefully I've uploaded them correctly..

Great pics Mike!  Oh, now what were my questions???  I'll have to go look at them again!

I met up with Sue at the RA National and we took some official Flag pics - even though there were only two of us there.  I'll get those downloaded and share with everyone a little later tonight...

I'm still trying to figure out how to post photos on the gallery.  Have quite a few that ya'll might be interested in seeing.  Monte "Show me the pictures" Miller has been pressing me so I guess I better get it done before he comes down and empties my beverage cooler again.

Unfortunately few of my "GS  Challenge pics" came out worth a darn - that was rather entertaining to watch - there were some pretty good riders on those 2-wheeled Land Rovers.    I know that I'd find it a bit intimidating to try to ride those obstacles on those big, weide, heavy R1150/R1200 GS bikes at the rally.  Don't know why more folks on the 650 and 800 bikes didn't give it a go.   I was pleased that one of the finalists was a guy from California on his R100 BumbleBee who decided at the last minute, "what the heck, I think I'll try riding that course"!

The torque of those R1200GS bikes is impressive, but I still think I'd personally rather have a smaller, lighter bike over the pure brute strength of those big oilheads.

If I can salvage any pics I'll add them to the gallery.

Glad you and Sue were able to hook up, Aida!  As long as the "flag" was present at the rally, that's what counts! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Looking forward to the pics!!
