Two quick stops and 440 miles later I'm home.



Got in about 450 miles of dirt and too many twisties to count this week.

Jaxon and Karson thanks for a Super Rally!!

Road about nine hours today across back roads of AR. We took the scenic route and it was outstanding. It was another 6-7 hours of twisties. Tonight we are held up here in OK and have about four hours of slab tomorrow. The Rally / HUB / location were outstanding. Thanks again to everyone who attended!
When the folks begin to get home, make sure to post up that you made it home safe and add any comments / pictures you would like to share. Thanks again.

Thanks to Jaxon & Karson for an unforgettable week of riding. More twistys than the Yukon and the dirt is just as dirty :))
As a proud Canadian I guess I should feel sorry that I am taking home the TWO coolest prizes, but I'm not O:) The Rally banner will find a place of honor in my cave. (I may show it to Rem) He'll be pissed, but he wouldn't have won LD award anyways since I live at least 8 minutes further north than him
Another thanks to Al Jesse for the very nice panniers, I'll pick them up next trip down, & give them a ride home
Hope all my new friends have/had a safe ride home

I scooted out at 2am Friday morning and made it back to Indianapolis by noon. Hope I didn't wake anyone. It was hands down the best riding that I've experienced and I look forward to coming back next year. It was great to meet people who are as passionate about riding and having fun so thanks to you all. Thanks to Karson and Jaxon for organizing the event. Thanks to Debbie and Randal for being such gracious hosts.

Stay safe,

Kevin

I made it home yesterday. I took the scenic route to stretch my ride out to a little over a hundred miles. Sorry I didn't get up there sooner.....my loss for sure. I'm thankful I got to meet a few of you guys and visit for a brief time.

I am planning on hosting another Tenere event at the Hub next year. I spoke with several that said they would like to come back and ride the area more. It will probably be April or May. I will provide details later.

Karson and Jaxon did an outstanding job with the organization of this event. I spoke with Randal and Debbie when I was leaving and they had a very good experience with this group of riders. They were worn out from the week's activities but happy. Overall, I'd say it was a success.

I look forward to meeting more people and actually riding with some in the future.

Thank you Jaxon and Karson for your work organizing this Rally. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones. Randall and Debbie and the girls at the restaurant were very hospitable and Happy is already missed. I've got some pics to post.
The view from the Cliff House Inn
Patrickg450, Carrot and me out exploring

Some great views were found
Some fog that had to be dealt with

Patrickg450 had some great dirt tracks one day we rode from the Hub to Natural Dam on the Oklahoma border, probably 75 percent dirt then rode asphalt back to keep from getting back at 9pm
The next day I had a minor get off but acquired a compound dislocation of my right pinky.

I went from true grip to no grip real fast.

This is EricS10EastTn who saved me from a miserable ride home. We got both bikes in his Cargo Master and he bought me right to my house. Thanks so much for that Eric. I went this morning and got a boosted antibiotic shot as I was starting to get infected. I see a a hand Doctor Monday and expect a full recovery.
Hope to see you all again next year! And as Rem says "Let's be safe out there"

Good to see true grip made it home safely, hope the finger heals up well.
We had a great time also thanks to everyone involved. We are in Roswell new mexico tonight not sure yet where tomorrow brings us. Certainly a few more days of travel yet . Its warm and sunny here and cool and wet at home so no big hurry I suppose.

Had a great time at the Hub, really nice people ::008::

Thanks to Jaxon and Karson for a great 2014 event, the 3rd and I have been to all the events ;D ::008:: ::26::

I will post the group picture soon :)

Got home safe a day early. Planned to do it in 3 days but ended up doing it in 2.
660 miles on Friday from Marble Falls to Grayson, Kentucky and another 600 miles today to Jackson, NJ. Early morning fog on both days

Left the Hub and rode through early fog until the sun came out, what an amazing ending to a great week.









Finally the sun broke through, beautiful sunrise



Leaving Grayson, Kentucky today with the temp at 42 degrees and more fog






Passed some heavy artillery on the way home ???
