Great pics Marty.
How many miles do you think were put on each bike on avaerage? Were there splinter rides, whereby groups split off and covered more territory, or did their own thing?

Great bunch of photos Marty! I saw a bunch of bikes for the first time with these. Thanks for posting them! 
With 13 old dudes, I think we ride 150 to 200 miles each day. I put 350 miles on mine, and I had to sit it out on Thursday. I rode a half day on Wednesday. I don't think anybody went independently. Some rode fast, some more sedate. We get in order and wait at each turn.

Thanks for the pics and report. The bug hit me a little too late. I'll seriously consider riding to next year's if the location is the same.
Great photos... thanks... I enjoyed the event last year. There was discussion about the camp site putting everyone together for this year... did that happen... And............... what's the story about the 75'.. or 74' missing the rear wheel.. flat... any other mechanical gremlins... ? 
Great pics. I wanted to make it but seeing is how I can’t ride right now maybe I can make it to the fall run or at least plan for next year.
Got home a couple of hours ago. The @gggGary Express makes great time.
Had a Great time! The Arkansas Dragon Tail was a great section! Actually had what seemed like tighter turns than what the Tail of the Dragon has.
Not near as long only about 5 smiles. But it was fun.
Great group of guys. After the rides lots of fun sitting around the "camp fire".
John and Russ had excellent routes each day. We even had a pizza party!
Many thanks to John for taking the time to make it possible.

The '75 got a screw in the tire. We had the tube patched. Same bike also kicked the carburetors out of the manifolds. They don't like to start and run that way.
Looked like a great meeting. Safe travels fellas.
Great pictures and video. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you guys had a great time! Hoping I can make it one day.
Home n unloaded.
Long day but an excellent rally!
Cant wait to check out all the pics on a bigger screen.

Here you go.
The recently installed spoke wheels really set it off!
Not all the cool rides were bikes!
Charles has a class 4 wheel ride too!
The Boys hard at work fixing a tire.

The Ben and Kevin show arrived in Mankato at 10 pm after 12 hours 715 miles.
343 mi tomorrow to Sheboygan without a codriver.
Not our vid but this road was part of one of the rides.
Thank Greg
As a side note to the trip north from Mountain View, the sky went from sunny to grey in northern Iowa from the Canadian wildfire smoke on Sunday and was grey and smelled of smoke all the way from Mankato MN to Sheboygan WI. That must be a helluva fire or fires.
