Wondering about Norm and Annie...

*jukief* · 05-01-2006

Does anyone know when Norm is due home? I'm wondering how his trip has been going.

Dawn, don't forget to update us about Annie! I've been thinking about her all day.

makes you worry when you don't hear from friends when you know they are on long trips.

Norm came home today, stopped into the shop today on his way home, he was very tired, but had a great ride!!!!

I am sure he will be checking in here after he is rested

*anamosity* · 05-01-2006

good for norm, hope he took lots of pictures and had a great time.

*jukief* · 05-01-2006

Thanks for the update, Deron. I'm glad he's home safe and sound--and still in an unfrozen state.

Welcome home, Normie!!

Thanks Julie! Annie is home safe and sound...(asleep right now). She went through alot today, but they did let her come home. I'll let her explain the details...thanks for all your concern, it's appreciated for sure!

**2WheelFun** · 05-01-2006

Here's to wishing Annie all the best and a speedy recovery!

snickerdoodle · 05-01-2006

Yes, thanks....And Welcome Back Norm! Glad you had a nice trip...

Norm · 05-01-2006

Thanks for all of your concerns Julie, I had a wonderful time. I rode the 3's in the hill country. What an awesome place to ride. I put about 2200 miles on, and it was worth every mile. I left Fredericksburg yesterday morning at 9:30 and arrived in Dodge City KS at 7:30PM last night. I clocked 647 miles. I was tired but I could have done more.

I got up this morning and there were showers in the forcast so I waited until about 10:30 before heading out, as it turned out I didn't wait long enough I got wet and the bike was a mess from the road grime. I got home about 2:30 this afternoon and unloaded and headed for the car wash, "Big Norm" looks like new again. I'm ready for another big trip.

Norm · 05-01-2006

Glad Annie is doing okay, hope she recovers quick.

*Tod* · 05-02-2006

Glad you're back safe and sound, sorry to hear you got wet.

I'm planning on making a run around the "3"s later this summer on Constance.

Gotta break her in right don't you know? I should look up Plato and anyone else in Texas that might like to make it a day trip.

zedx11 · 05-02-2006

good to hear everyone is doing good.

*jukief* · 05-02-2006

Hi Norm! Glad to hear you're home safely and that you had a good time. Wet riding is better than no riding at all!

You'll be out here before we know it! Can't wait to ride with Norm and Big Norm.

**2WheelFun** · 05-02-2006

Welcome back, Norm!

Man...you did some serious riding! Hows the body holding up?

My body held up well. I never had a moment that I wanted to stop and get off. When I did stop I was only off long enough to fill up with gas, maybe walk in an get a 20 oz bottle of water and drink half. Then when I stopped at the next gas station I would drink the second half and fill up, then climb on and go again. Friday only got about 150 miles on as it was trying to rain there. Unloaded on us Friday night about 11:00PM, they had 5 to 8 inches of rain that night, Saturday morning was sunny and beautiful with a breeze of 5 to 10 mph. What a great day, rode about 350 miles in 8 hr. Most of it in 3rd and 4th gear as the twisties were awesome. Had an hour lunch out of that too.

azchick · 05-02-2006

That sounds awesome Norm! Glad it was good for you!
And thanks again to all of you for your concern and good wishes.... gives me warm fuzzies!

Well, shoot! Then that ride from Holdrege to Fort Collins will seem like nothing!
