mikeR1100R Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I am not sure if I am off that day and as Georgi and I are currently tearing up the Poconos until Friday, I did not bring my calendar. However, if I am off, we will meet you guys at Toymakers at the appointed hour. Link to comment

RevRay Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I love that quirky little town. Me too... I have a question for you. Will you be the official UN greeter agian? Really missed your welcome hug last year. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I went months without giving real hugs. It was maddening to miss another UN. I missed all the HUGS back! Richard did a good job in my place, I heard And nobody hugs like Leslie. If all goes as planned you'll get a real hug from me and a wag from Nigel in Salida. I cannot wait! Link to comment

RevRay Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 It was great to see everyone, Mike pillion free, Georgi piloting her very own Ninga, Tewks on his GS, Roy with RT and let's not forget his camera. Not much planning was accomplished but it was great to see everyone again. Looking forward to the UN. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Pictures soon. Roy Your the man, Roy! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It's just not possible to steal Roy's thunder in the picture department but I did snap a few so, here they are. I think Ray could make a Clydesdale look small! [/img] Stopped by Lime Rock on my way home. Beautiful track! [/img] [/img] Most cars suck, this one doesn't! [/img] Found the back way into Massachusetts. [/img] [/img] Great day! Pat Link to comment
enfoman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Would of liked to of been there. I decided to drop the swing arm on Stoner and replace the tranny output seal instead because of the better working temps and humidity. Mission accomplished in about three hours....... It would of been closer to two if I had a better way of supporting the drive shaft in the Torque tube. Three times I had the splines seated and three times I ended up pulling the towel out with the final drive spider catching / obstructing the rag. Success on the fourth try. Eh, some days it goes well, then some days it doesn't. Looked like a great ride. Hope to see the Pics soon Roy! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Oh yeah, best part of the day besides Georgi filling the vacancy in the hug dept was Ray's buddy CJ. An Asian guy busting my chops about my alleged Boston accent. I chuckled all the way up the Pahkway. Pat Link to comment
RoyTemple Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 We met up at the Toymaker Cafe at about 9:30 am. I was a bit late. Got there at about 9:50. At that point, this is what was in the parking lot. Scott, Ray, Patrick and CJ were already there. This is Scott This is CJ Mike and Georgiana came in just a bit after me. Here are Ray and Georgiana working on the planing for the unrally trip. Here is Mike (mikeR1100R) Patrick, Ray and Georgiana with the maps. Mike and Georgiana came with some friends I believe this is Bob. He came with Sue Also with the group was this person but I didn't get her name And this person. I did not get her name either. If one of you could give me the names (PM me) I will update them on my Picasa web site linked here . Here's a shot of Rev Ray for good measure Eventually the planning was suspended and everyone got up to leave. Once outside, they gathered around the bikes Scott looks like he's about to try out Rev Ray's VFR Patrick (TWKS) gets his GS ready to go Bob and Sue are ready and waiting The decision was made to go to Kent Connecticut, about 15 miles South of here to participate in a Ducati test ride going on there. See Patrick's photos in a previous post. Here they are mostly mounted up and ready to go test ride Ducatis. CJ is actually already riding one! Here's Georgiana heading out on her Ninja Here's another member of the group on her Ninja Here's the bulk of the group headed out for the Ducati test rides Mike takes up the tail position. I had a pleasant ride home. Stopped by the former Canton Cycles location which has opened under different ownership as Redline Powersports dealing in motorcycle accessories, parts, service and used bikes. Looks like a nice operation. Sorry it took me so long to get this report up. Had some family duties that took me away. Had a good time. Toymakers is a nice little cafe (my first visit) and meeting with the group was great. Looking forward to getting together with the BMWST folks again soon but wont' be able to make it to the UnRally this year. Hopefully, next year. Roy Link to comment
