    back from the gap

    Hey Randy we saw you at the Mass Pike Toll both getting on from 84. We were trying to catch up but had to stop for gas at that first rest area.

    We saw Keith Friday on 441 as we were on the side of the road taking a break while talking with a nice Park Ranger..

    I got to my house @ 9:40 and had to go retreave my bike and Trailer once Jamie and Brent unloaded their stuff.
    I am now home and going to take a nap, I am exhuasted. We were able to ride around till about 3 yesterday then went home and loaded the bikes and left the house @ 4PM, only had to make a few stops on the way home so drive time was around 16 hours with no traffic with an average speed of 70. I believe it was 1045 miles or so?

    I made it to Baltimore to find out I am off till Wed. Darn, I could have stayed longer. Oh well, It was an awesome time. Mike, You guys averaged 70 but when you passed me I think it was higher 70's. I ended up stopping for the night after 350 miles and taking a rest. Got here around noon. Driving home tomorrow to bring my bike and truck home since I do not have to work.

    I'm home too. Parents just came down with some ramps to unload the bike (I gotta get my own set damnit).

    Left yesterday at 10:00am from the house. Stopped for lunch in TN at a Sonic Drive In. Stayed there 15 minutes. Kept driving. Got gas a couple times. Stopped at the PA/NY line to get drive-through Wendy's around 11:30. Shut the eyes and put the feet up till midnight. Kept driving. Got gas in CT. Around the end of 84, stopped for 15 minutes of shut eye. Got home about 3:45am this morning.

    Just about 16 hours! Straight through flyin solo!

    I'm a MACHINE.



    CRAZY rain, hail and thunderstorms on the way home. The smart and safe drivers slowed down to 40 during the heavy rain. I ran a consistent 75-80
