    Looks like you've had a bit of rain on site.

    The bikes were given away, none to us ; (

    But that was the only disappointment in this most wonderful of family reunions!

    More pics here:

    Sorry the pictures are in a strange order. My camera started renumbering.

    Sweet dreams all!

    See you next year in Redmond, Oregon.

    It appears there is lots of room yet, are there any numbers out yet on attendance?

    Keep posting the pictures, we appreciate it.

    Man, looked like a great rally. Too bad I was not able to make it. What was the final count?

    Damn, missed the S1000RR, missed N8!, missed Camp GEARS... Man, almost wished I would of gone to the Nationals instead Europe. I'll be at next years nationals! If I have to drive a car, or fly there. I'll make it!

    I think they said there were 8,972 people and just under 7,000 bikes.

    There were some well done reports on a local news program. Not the usual "Bikers roar into town." stuff, but comments about the organization, how much money is spent locally and the distance that people travel to the rally. They did get one thing wrong, though. They named Paul and Voni after a donut; Glaze.
