    Thanks to Silke and Hunter for an awesome gathering. I hope Al Tuna heals quickly.

    My ride down 181 was white knuckle with 10 ft visibility in places.

    Back home, showered and napped. It was great seeing everyone again. Thanks to Silke, Hunter and everybody in a "Crew" tee shirt! :clap

    Only one in the hospital and no helicopters involved this year. Pretty successful, I'd say!

    Not only are you a Moran, you did Morans proud.

    Heal quick, sorry to hear about the mishap.

    Fido's gotta learn one of these days....

    Insert here>>> something stupid about old DOGs and new tricks

    Quit showing up at dual sport rallies on a Goldwing!

    Great visit, good food, lousy weather and now I hear we've got a Moran with a broken ankle.......

    I guess Kirk forgot to SLOP HIS DRIPPER or some such.

    Thanks for letting me join at the last minute!

    Ya Moran, "There is a Fine Line Between Badass and Dumbass". Crossing that line often results in Bustedass.

    Love ya Capt'n!

    Thanks to Silke, Hunter, Shane, Jeff and the rest of the support staff for a well run event - good food, lots of beer and a great venue.
    Thanks to the ride leaders - near perfect rides for the conditions - we rode with Todd, Kyle and a inprompto loop with Jeff.
    Heal up soon Kirk!

    Home and unpacked. THANK YOU to Hunter, Shane, Daze, the Butt Brothers, and everyone else that had a hand in putting this event together.
    A special Thank You to Silke for enduring the stress of making sure everything ran smoothly. You were never bitchy.

    Hey, just wanted to chime in here.

    A big thank you to everyone who made this happen. I used to work some of these things in a previous life, for a different vehicle type (Classic Ford Broncos) and I KNOW what it takes to pull off an event like this.

    You guys ROCK! I had a blast, made a bunch of new friends, and.... got DE-N00B'ed! :clap

    What a great bunch of folks!

    I'll be one of the first ones to put a hand up and help next year.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone. That was friggin' awesome!

    Just a reminder of the RDV Picture Thread

    I spoke to Mr. Tuna and he is in good spirits and little pain.
