Back home from NETT rally

[Bikerbozo]

Thought I would start a new thread for those logging in when they arrive home from NETT rally.
So......We made it home. Did it on one tank of gas with a gallon to spare. Made it to ferry at 1pm.
Note to John, I took Rt 8 all the way down through MA. Really nice route. Came out on Rt. 20 east of Otis.

Didn't make it home Bozo, but we did make it to the LL Bean store in Freeport. Run over to Mt Washington in the morning and then turn south for 900 or so.

Jeannette and I are home safe and sound. Rode almost all the way with Warren and Barbara. Fun! We started in the clouds in the mountains, but sun came out by the time we got to Bennington. Tried the Taconic Parkway on the way home. It is a nice road, but there are not many services. Lots of flowers and no trucks... It's nice to be home!

After being concerned ahead of time about possible rain for the trip home, the day turned out great. No weather problems. To make it even better, we had great riding partners in Leo and Jeannette. Stopped a few times, including a "random" lunch stop (that turned out very nice).

After we "waved goodbye" to Leo, there was only 52 miles to go for us.

We were safely home before dark - including another gas stop to fill-up for the next outing.

This was our first official rally after becoming trike owners last September and Karen and I had the best time and I just called Carina to mark us down for next year. We made new friends, Gunny, Debbie, Toni, Moe and Linda and along with John and Honey made the trek home yesterday down Rt 100/8 all the way. The weather was great the whole time except for a bit of drizzle one day and yesterday turned into a really nice day.

Glad to meet you all and looking forward to the next time....

Doug and Karen

This is our first year on a trike and our first trike rally. What a great time, we started out with 4 of us heading up by the time we left for the rally we were 7. Did not know each other before, spent the weekend riding together having a great time and meeting new people. We made our reservations for next years rally. We all have a plan to meet up again if not before to ride together again. Looking to hit places we did not get a chance to get to this year.
Linda and I have been to many rally's over the last 25+ years and we both feel that this was one of the best we have attended by far. Everyone was so friendly and open, the Inn was GREAT and of course the area has wonderful roads (except the construction on 100).

Linda is slowly getting back to normal, no TV for 3 days was traumatic!

Hi All,

We made back to RI Safe & Sound without the navigation trauma we had on the way up thanks to input from the DougV, Debbie, et. al. Turns out you can't get there (West Dover) from here (Jamestown , RI) very well at all without going on highways!

Gary was looking at our bikes after the ride, and as some of you know, we did some off roading! Our oil coolers are totally caked with mud! very hard to clean out. So I suggest that you with harleys take a look at those oil coolers! These things run hot enough already! Guess we'll put on those mud flaps we've procrastinated about!

So Moe & Gunny, I learned a few things on this trip. Tighten the gas cap a lot to prevent the engine light from coming on, and don't put you iphone next to the key fob in the fairing bag as it causes the security warning light to go on (little red key)! I read the manual when I got home.

Forgot to put the manual on the bike when we left for VT.

Looking forward to seeing you all next year, if not before, at the GGI!

Had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people! Excellent job by the rally committee as well! Thank You!

Best,

Cath & Gary.

Great to meet you and say hello at the Rally. I've been to most of the places you visited, but as driver of a tour bus with 40 or 50 folks on board. At Mt. Washington, parked at the bottom and the tour group (and me) took the cog railway to the top. Interesting never-the-less.

Glad you're home safely and that you had a great trip... ThumbUp

Leo you live in some beautiful country. On the way home we decided to put the White Mountain area on the list for another visit.

Keith, Jeannette and I were born and raised in the White Mountains. Relocated to NJ 42 years ago for better job opportunities. We never moved back, although we go back to visit family and friends. It will always be home, and we will be buried there. Love the fresh smell of the North Woods. Haven't been anywhere that smells the same, and we have traveled a lot.

Is everyone home safe and sound ?

A great rally. Scenery just kept getting better. The Bryant House at VT country store for lunch was a real treat.

Biker Jack - it was great to see you at the rally although somehow our visit wasn't long enough. Glad you enjoyed the scenery and ride(s). Hope it's not another year before we "cross paths" again. ThumbUp
