Hey Reggie, good to hear you and Rob made it home safely.  Had an absolute blast riding and hanging out with you two!  Your good fella's and good riders for sure!  As I mentioned to you Ester and I had a minor tip over, everything is good and we continued the ride, no injuries, just dinged pride.  We were not railing and actually going quite slow, I mean REAL slow, prolly no more than 5 mph when we tipped, momentary loss of concentration and drifted to the edge.  We all know about target fixation and I believe I fell victim even though I know better.  But you know I cant complain, only 2nd get off since 1970 and this was really minor.  I just took great pride in riding all these years and miles with Ester safely.  Had we been really cooking it I probably would have been focused and wouldnt have had any problem.  I certainly wasnt riding over my head, just one of those things I guess!  Cant open the picture link as it needs a password?  Cant wait to ride and party with you guys again :beers:

Got to sample Dave's 1277 bandit and man what a motor!!! tons of torque.  When mine needs freshning up thats the way I' m gonna go.  Hey Reggie and Rob, we are going home with one less bike, Dale sold his 06 bandit to Hank!  Rode back into chimney rock tonite and had the roads to ourselves, great spirited ride.  Hate to tell you this, but we gotta get up in the morning and do it again :lol:
