2nd Official Back Safe Thread!

[Hedge]

Benny and I left the Stuff Belly at 9:56AM this morning and I parted with him on RT 8 in Bridgeport, him heading another 10 min for the Ferry to Port Jefferson and I to the Merritt Parkway West for 15 more minuets to Norwak. I pulled into my driveway at exactly 12:54pm making the trip home in just under 3 hours. Next year I'll lead the ride home with Benny and I know we can do it in 2.5 hours. I wish everyone a safe travel home!

Home safe and sound around 1:00. Ditto what Tito said. Want to thank Tito, Mark, Robin,Paul and all the others who made this possible again this year. Even better this year than last. Got to see some friends made last year and make some new ones this year. Hope you all had as good a time as I did. Can't wait till next year. In the mean time there is still a ton of riding season and many new possible destinations where I now know people. Thanks again.

P.S. Got another convert. My younger brother just put a deposit on a 2006 Sprint at Second Wind and should be picking it up this week. Looks like at least 1 more for next year. Of course I will have to bring him out there a few times before then to familiarize him with the roads.

Special Thanks to Tito & Mark for making this an exceptional 1st time out. I'm already looking forward to next year. Great group of people all around.
Ride Safe!

Yeah.. I could use a good nap But I'm not sure if I'm more tired or horny.
.....Honey I'm home......

Come on BTB 2010

glad to here everyone made it home safely. This was a very good improvement over last year. To bad the rain was with us for most of the weekend.
I am still on my way home, just stopped to take a break from the rain.

[Boosted Thrills]

My friend and I made it back safe yesterday. What a trip, too bad about the rain but what can ya do? It at least made things interesting, and you get to a point where you just don't give a shit about the wetness any longer.

Thanks a ton up to Tito and Mark. What great rides Tito led.

Thanks for starting this thread Hedge. I got to the dock at 12:47. Got on the 1:30 boat, home around 3:30. Took the bags off the bike, grabbed a shower, and now I'm vegging out!! Awesome time this year, and aside from getting a little wet thursday, the weather wasn't bad! Clear skies all the way home.

Made it home about 3pm -- set out after breakfast this morning with Tito, Jim (V-strom), John (T100), and Mike (Bonnie from Ontario). We headed over to Rt 100, then took that north. Tito and Jim split off partway to head towards Rutland, the rest of us took 100 up to Rt 17, rode over the App Gap, then John split off to head home while I led Mike up to Hinesburg, where he finally split off to go catch the ferry across Lake Champlain.

Great ride back home, which was a perfect way to cap off an excellent BTB!

Thanks to all of YOU for making this event so awesome. It wouldn't matter one bit what Tito, Robin, and I did if you guys weren't all such a great bunch of people.

Made it home safe in 7.5 hours on mostly all back roads from Bennington to Harrisburg, PA. Great weather the whole way.

Had a great time & it was good to see everyone again.

Take care....

Home safe with a big smile on my face at 5:00.
George and I took the long way home across southern VT and through southern New Hampshire.
Applause Applause Applause to Tito, Mark, Robin, Paul and all the others who created the space for us all to have such a great time. It was awesome to connect and ride with so many cool Triumph folk. Vermont is my new favorite New England state.

Oh yeah- you know how some couples go away on vacation and come back "expecting"? Well, I've been wanting to add a Bonneville SE to my stable, what with my America being an only child and all....so I cleverly pointed out to George how tall guys can scoot around on the Bonnies (thanks Dino!) and we've started planning for a new arrival.

Peace and safe riding until we meet again.

Thanks to everyone for everything! I had a great time.
Gilligan and I left the campground at noon, rode in and out of showers heading West
into NY, then South on 22. The rain got pretty heavy, stopped to gear up. Pat split off
In Amelia NY and headed Southeast towards home. I had to stop and shed my rain
gear as the sun was now out, and I was roasting! Made it home without incident
at 4pm. Unloaded the bike, and back on my houseboat by 5.
Good to see old friends again, and make new ones.
