Just got off the phone with my brother Richard, he and the BMW F800GT at the the BMW dealer in Detroit area getting its first service. We droe to VT and back Mon/Tue to get his VFR and had a pleasant drive on the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86/NY17) across NY. Our hotel in Rutland was a dump, one of the worst I've stayed in from Choice Hotels. They recently bought it and were remodeling, and it was bad enough I'd think they should not even be open (had to go to a nearby Quality to check in, for breafkast, etc.) And some guy was doing contruction shortly after 7AM when we woke up.
But all that is still overshadowed by a great event, and the lack of real serious problems plus the raffle bike winner. Richard saw Bryan Dunlap posted some photos from the lunch ride, one that showed us on our bikes going bye. That is my favorite right now, and my desktop image at work. I need to review my GoPro and regular camera for other notable shots and get some off to Jim Park and the others. That inclues some photos and videos of Richard riding the raffle bike.

I absolutely suck at taking the time to take pictures so I have zero but I do want to ask if anyone else saw and then snapped a shot of bald egles nesting on top of the T top telephone poles? I saw them in NY, PA and I think in VT as well. Huge nests right on top of the poles. On the last day before my bike bit the dust I saw one thta you coulde clearly see a bald eagle sitting in it. Pretty cool.

I missed those bald eagles nesting, did see some near home in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on my commute one day. With all the moose, elk and deer signs I'm surprised we saw none of them (maybe some deer but I see those daily on my commute).
I'm going to try and most some pics here, and maybe join the modern era with doing them on smugmug. Would also like to share some of my helmet cam videos with the group.
