More detail required. Embarrassing moments, screw ups? Spill it!

I had a great time... the weather could not have been better! The roads were fantastic!
It was a Just for Fun event which means that no fee no door prizes, no meals and no routes. However, Doug Pippin did routes and I have them all on my GPS and in paper.



Here is my route home with Doug.

Syd did have a fall bruised foot broken mirror and very bummed! Nothing else that I know of. There were around 30 attendees. There were two other Tenere there from Illinois. Both have had there ECU "flashed" and I had the pleasure of getting a test ride. The difference in the Spot mode is quite impressive for sure. Problem is I don't think it really lacked for power without this $450 reflash. Fred's bike also had Ohlins suspension. Yes there is a difference between my stock suspension with over 63,000 miles. However not enough difference for me to justify the cost of Ohlins. I've never had stock suspension last this long. Oh yea he also had an aftermarket seat and again... I still like my stock seat. Hmmm. ?!?!
Y'all missed a great event with super roads and weather!

Damn, sorry to hear that and can certainly empathize with the "bummed" part. Glad it didn't read "broken foot and bruised mirror" lol. How'd it happen?

[LeeDavis]

How was the Helendorf Inn? I've considered putting it on the list for a future EOM rally. They have enough rooms, banquet facilities and I read they're remodeling.

[Brick]

They seem to be in the middle of a remodel. It was nice. It's been a while since I've stayed where a hotel/motel used real keys. [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
