Savannah Rally XIV on Tybee Island Dec 5-6-7

[ertman110]

Thanks to Jerry for inticing us all to make this years event. It was a good time and a great test for me personally to see how my gear stacked up to weather with was variable and we were so lucky to not have to deal with any rain at all. Considering the forecasts which preceeded the event that seems especially interesting.

All the folks that did the hard work to put the shrimp boil together , kudos. Not a small thing for sixty plus enthusiast. The Dunes was a good experience and the pub next door was good food and we all had huge fun. I am going to go through my pics in a few and see what if anything of merit I came up with . Post them later .

Hopefully the ones that you took when we were rolling down I-16 turned out, I have always wanted a picture of me riding!~

You should have said something. I could've hooked up the camera mount and video camera and taken still pictures or video (or both). I surely wish I had it pointing backwards coming from macon to Savannah...lol.


Stixx, thanks for the company down there and back. I love the color on your bike.

When  you click on the first two images in the album those are GaBandit and Ertman riding down the slab with yours truly. I was trying to hold the camera in my left hand , yes with gloves on at 80 mph, and not drop it or fall down my ownself and inadvertently managed to hit the vid button so they are not stills the first two are vids . Turn down your puter volume or you will go deaf with the wind  rush and pipes howling.
Some accidents are just plain fun. Enjoy.

Thank you for the pictures Stixx. I had to Sams to get dog food. I needed a picture of that...LOL

People always look at you funny when you carry something on a bike.

[Stixx]

I know . I shop at the Publix and load my cloth publix bags in my bags and top box and there is invariably some older guy or gal who'll walk up and start a conversation about the bike. Nice way to meet folks I reckon. At least it is promoting good opinions of "bikers" not that I'd ever admit to that name. LOL

Remind me to tell you about a certain gal who approached me at the Ace Hardware as I was attaching some gilhickie to the beast wearing full leather. I tell you it is a chick magnet to wear leather pants. This is all very new to me. LOL

I didn't really get a chance to talk with you but it was a pleasure to wave as ya'll passed me when y'all went to savannah.

Bass Pro Shops have the full set, plus a baseball cap on sale for $29.95, save some bucks and get a set.

Thanks for the heads up , that is a great deal. Think I'll get my riding buddy a set for Christmas.

ot collars"

I am not sure what ragland sleeves are, but my frogg toggs have a banded sleeve and bottom of the legs that hold tight around my wrist and ankles and will not ride up with wind.
