    Just back from Franklin

    Thanks Phantom! Great event, great people, great bikes, great food. Rode 1063 miles on Friday to the event, took a more direct route home today, 1002 miles from the Microtel parking lot to my garage door in 15 1/2 hours. I learned a lot about my bike and accessories this week end, which I intend to share over the next few days. What a deal! I'm still smiling!

    Absolutely! Still in Franklin, heading home tomorrow. I thought I had everything I needed\wanted on my bike. Now I have a whole new list of musts.
    Can't thank Phantom enough for all he did to make this a great rally. He worked hard and it showed in a smooth and fun four days.

    I join with you in sending out a big thank you to Phantom. The time and effort put into the planning became obvious as the event unfolded. And, hiflyer, you're so right about the great people in our group. BTW, thanks for coming from far away to join us. Really enjoyed meeting you !

    GREAT RALLY!

    I'm almost home myself. I had a great time at the rally, great people, great riding, what more can you wish for?

    I want to thank everybody involved in making this gathering a huge success, and especially Phantom! I'll be back next year! Now let's plan on something in Daytona during Biketoberfest!

    Home safe

    As everyone stated, Phantom puts on the best event.. He even got the weather Gods to cooperate.

    It was nice meeting the group and riding with everyone. As for next year, many new parts will be added and I plan on another great time.

    I concur! This was my first rally and will definitely become an annual event on my calendar. Met some great members, ate some great food, shared some laughs, and traveled some phenomenal roads. Kudos to Phantom for his coordination and commitment to excellence in planning.

    Now, if I had just won that rear tire......

    This was quite an event. I learned a lot about myself and this bike during the event's rides. This bike handled better than I ever thought a big bike could. But you "WING" guys already knew that. And to just pack up and go without any concern about the motorcycle is a feeling that is new to me, and I LIKE IT!
    I was very impressed with how well the event was organized and executed. Phantom you did a wonderful job! And I want your T REX!
    I got back to CT around 2 PM today with a total trip mileage of approximately 2300 miles. Turned 14000 miles on the bike during the ride home.
    The fellowship during the event was wonderful and it was nice to put a face to the names. We enjoyed the ride down and back with ZZ from NY. One of the best pictures of the bikes was from the back with them all lined up.
    To top off a great vacation, there was basically no rain all the way home. A great end to a great vacation. Thanks again Phantom and everyone that was there.
    Oh, I guess I'll start ordering more accessories in the AM!

    A wonderful event, great rides, great organization. Thanks Tony for all of your hard work in setting this up. Got home last evening, up eventful ride home, last hour in pouring rain. The bike really handles well despite the conditions. Can't wait for next year!
