I had the time of my life at the WCR. Great people, fantastic rides, and the best street tacos I have ever eaten, (thanks Diane!).
Safe travels to everyone heading home, and to the lucky bastards heading to Ouray. :yahoo:
If you you hear reports of an orange headed alien flying across Nevada, believe it.
back home with no incidents ....Another awesome rally. :good2:
I am home as well, what a hot ride. It got better when I stopped for fuel and put on my evaporative cooling vest. Much nicer after that. 8 hrs saddle time on the slab, 45 min. total stop time. Another awesome rally.
Place seems kind of empty...
And kind of quiet...I doubt security will be over tonight telling us to use our "inside voice".
Just the Mrs, me and the cleaning crew.

Cap'n Ron and I made it back to his place without incident. The rally was amazing this year! I had a great time. Looking forward to next year.
Just rolled in, 0220, Monday. 2 ea blowouts on the trailer, 2 hrs waiting for tire #2, just off I5 @ Gorman. Minimal damage when #2 failed, much less than a chain vs engine failure.
All good now, finally horizontal. A good time, minus the last 6 hours.
Ed & Sue!
Home safe, no problems. Just a long drive. Had a great time. Looking forward to next year.

Glad you made it home safe Ed !
I am glad everyone made it home safe with minimal headaches.
It seems there were more trailer issues than FJ issues.
If anyone found a brand new rally T shirt down near the fire pit Sunday morning, I will happily pay postage to get it back. :dash2:
It's grey, not periwinkle, size Large.

Hey,
Did anybody happen to pick up my flashlight Saturday night? It was clipped in the tree over the picnic table where the cobblers were being served. Over by the campfire. When I went out get it to put it on the charger I found it was missing. I hope that somebody picked it up trying to figure out who it belonged to. It's a Olight S30R II. If anyone has it I really appreciate it if they would PM me.
Thanks guys.
What a great rally!!! And that, of course...is due to the great people! A few new faces, a few new roads...some of the same epic roads, lots of laughs and can't wait until next year!
Several of us are currently traveling to the Ouray rally and look who we ran into at a random gas stop in Delta, UT:
Yeppers, the best of times!
Andy, Paul, Jason and I are in Vernal UT for an overnight stay, on our way to Ouray.
Good weather (amazingly cool) beautiful roads and sights.
ETA to Ouray: tomorrow afternoon (Wednsday) Bikes are running great.
Yep, no doubt.....These are the best of times

About 4500 KMs. FJ ran great all the way with no issues.
Trip Report:
1) Arizona Desert it too hot to ride in and should be off limits to Canadians after April 1. Needles California 110 F. Yikes!
2) California Coast Hiway 1 is spectacular and should be on everyone's list. Especially Sonoma and Mendocino counties. We prairie dogs are suckers for a view of the ocean.

3) Willits is a great location for the rally, and Ft Bragg to Willits road is what we wish we had here. California riders are spoiled for sure.
4) Oregon coast 101 needs more time to explore all the roads to the beaches.

5) Hiway 20 Washington is very good ride. Winthrop has some strange characters

6) Hiway 3 BC Alberta is very good.....would like to ride with without rain sometime.
7) Norm picked an FJ rally in Fruitland BC on the way home.

36,000 KMs $1950 CDN to replace his crashed one of the same colors.
7) Hiway 22 Alberta nice to get back to and really green wide open spaces.
Thanks again everyone for the hospitality.
