Thumbs up Great ride/Met forum members

Not only did I get in a good day of riding but I got to meet two forum members today. Ispeed77 showed up bright and early at my house this morning (7:30 am) and we headed up to Laconia bike week. Spent an hour or two there then rode up and I got to meet Btob as well. I have to tell any of you that haven't met either of them that they are great guys and I would be more than happy to ride with them again!!!.

Pictures will follow but my camara ran out of memory so I have to wait for Ispeed to send me the ones he took for me.

If these two guys are any indication of the rest of the members of this forum I want a chance to meet all of you. I wish I could make it out to Red Lodge but it's not in the cards.... at least for this year.

It is great that you got the chance to catch up with other Forum members. I have met Kim (Moparman) and Jim (JimKelly21) and they are great people. Will get to meet David (I hope) in Red Lodge.

It sounds like a goo day for sure. I also can attest to Ispeed77 being a stand up guy and a prince of a man. I would also like to meet btob one day myself.

If you're going you will. He was getting pretty revved up about the trip.

I just wish my camera hadn't given up. You guys would have loved pics of the Kancamangus Hwy that runs through the heart of the White mountains. Almost like the dragons tail (well, not QUITE) but some good twisties and its about 60 miles long.

He was revved up last year on his FJR as he flew by us on the Interstate and about made me pee my pants. LOL

LOL That sounds about right. Before we got on I-93 He said "IF I get ahead of you get off at exit 35." If... yeah right... I was doing 85 and he was out of sight within a couple miles I did eventually catch up.

Oh well, I'm not a bad rider but I only wish I could ride as well as he does.

Now you know why his username is so appropriate!

The first year we went to Red Lodge, he was riding his Nomad, pulling a trailer. And he was still fast.

I do believe you're right... maybe the 77 is for 77 in a 25?

Not NEARLY as much fun with him not here though. I'd rather tease someone face to face.
