Gary did an excellent job of covering the highlights in his last blog update. I wanted to add a personal thank you to Gary, Mike and Pearse. Without Gary's advance planning of the road trip we all would have been lost. It became quite obvious he spent countless hours setting up way points, highway choices and riding times. We used the hard copy Mike carried so much it was almost in shreds by the end of the trip. Mike (Rocket Man) did a lot of the front running for the pack with Pearse in second with the fuzz buster when needed. When in doubt, Mike picked up the pace in almost all situations. Pearse (Zen Master) set the tone of the trip by keeping us all focused on what was important.....enjoyment and harmony. I personally learned a lot about BMW riding and appreciated Gary's, Mike's and Pearse's guidance. I believe my riding skills have improved and consequently a safer rider.
I have now checked off one of my major bucket list items. Thanks to all for the kind thoughts, words, and encouragement that enabled us to make this trip of a life time and all arrive home safe and sound. Take care.
PS: Hey Gary....what's next?
Wow what a great trip you all had. We enjoyed following your adventures on the blog and seeing the great pictures. With that said we missed seeing you and Molly was less than pleased with you being gone for so long. She doesn't understand why you would want to travel when you have her living right next door to her. Well I'm sure she's talked to you about your going away again
