Can't wait to here the whole story. I don't think we'll be allowed to hear the WHOLE story. Something about protecting the innocent, or guilty... I can't remember exactly the wording of the "agreement", but I believe there were blood oaths taken! Have a blast guys and gals!!

Out of here by 5:30 boys.... Hope you fellas didnt get caught in any of those nasty showers they talked of on the weather channel? Google says it is 700 miles and around 12 hours from here, so I should land around 6PM or so I guess.
"We're off to see the Wizard".....

From Mrs. Lou
Everyone eventually made it to Don's last night. Great BBQ, lots of laughs, I left before anyone got into the hot tub! I can see a haze of blue smoke over the International Bridge so I'm guessing the Triples have left Canada!

Well...it's over! Kinda sad . What a ride! The bikes were awesome. Imagine 4 bikes nearly 40 years old running a combined 5,000 miles in 4 days with no failures except for a broken $15 eBay shock! Impressive. Paul had to bow out with a bearing issue, but that was really before we got started. We covered 500 miles today, the bikes ran sweet at a steady (shown) 80MPH. Special thanks to Ian's delightful wife Sandra who had the toughest job of all -- following a bunch of immature kids on crazy machines...a true challenge! We are most grateful!!

Just got finished unpacking 1:30am. We lost H2Dude at a construction site on the 401 near Ingersoll, 3 lanes down to 1, about 30 minutes in stop and go traffic. He was wayyyy ahead, as he took the fast lane while Walms and I were stuck. He wasn't waiting for us at the side of the road and no calls to the cells. Heard later that he lost 1st and 4th gear in Cambridge, and that he's limping it back all the way to Tweed. Holy @#$. Walms and I ran damn near out of gas near Ayr, so we dropped by Rick's place and got some fuel from his shop, as the 2 gas stations were closed that were in range. Thanks Rick! Karma +1 Overall, 5 days of great riding. Must go sit in the tub now. Tons of pics to come.

Just got in at 2:50 am my trans stuck again in the line up at Ingersoll Went ahead to Cambridge and sat at 24 south for 1 hr and 15 min As I remember Walms saying he was going to phone home from Cambridge . Hmm where are they..Did they take the 403 ? Now it was pitch dark so a decision had to be made wait some more or go. Bum start and head to the Petrol Canada . Make phone call to home in case Sandra should call. Bum start Pant Pant Pant.. Zip thru Toronto and get caught in a nasty Thunderstorm..Traffic down to 40k. Stop at Ajax for fuel and now have gears , then no gears . Make call to home and get Jack to phone Givrs place to say I'm OK Stop at Belleville for gas and head for cover 3 times due to the severe Thunderstorm . Stop at Roslin for cover . Bolts of lightning everywhere. I was crappin my pants at this time . head out only to pull over again ..2 lightning strikes nearby and one so close everything went white . Couldn't see a thing Now the rains came again once more ..Can't see where I'm going ..More lightning and I pull over.. As I head into Tweed it's raining hard still . Can you say SOAKED No Phone call to cellys as I did not have numbers with me Tomorrow the clutch cover comes off to see why it will not down shift at times . BUT It got me home ;D
