I have kept quiet, just reading and watching all this, since I could not go. Once the weekend was over my depression went away. Lou, Ralph, Mike, Steve and, probably, others unknown have done a great job. This really looked like fun. Steve, you are a brave man to do what you did; you ran out of time, but the quality of your work is obvious to all, and your TT has the "look" of a Loudbike. Bill, I wish to meet you soon, but at least I can ID you and your bike easily now. And, sorry that Pat was there and I was not. One way or another I plan to be at the next event, and bring something to that I hope will contribute to its success. MikeV PS: More photos! PS: When will Ralph start offering two-up rides like Mamola did?

Could someone that talks to Mike Dube ask him to upload to Youtube the video he took from his bike during the parade laps?

I have been trying to upload the video I took of the Ducati parade lap from the rear golf buggy. However I keep getting told that there is not enought memory !, Computers and things like that confuse me, I would rather set up a couple of desm heads from scratch !!.I will keep trying. Pat.

Desmo heads are easy compared to computers.

Pat…. Yes desmo shimming is much easier then these dam boxes we call computers. They do however allow us from all over the world to be a group and communicate. It even allowed Carlo to join us in New Hampshire (next to Loudbike Steve)!

That's a beautiful ring you're wearing Steve!

Why, thank you! I have to remove it to get my glove on though... Carlos was uncharacteristically quiet wasn't he? ...You'd barely know he was there..

BTW, for those of you who use Facebook, Bobby Kuhl took a bunch of really nice deatailed shots of many of the machines - you should be able to find his page at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.466812806686112.109660.100000721900469&type=3

I am now just getting my feet back on the ground after a great time. So many nice bikes and good friends! Thanks so much.

Sorry it took me so long to post these great shots taken by our friend Endo-san. These are in the reverse order which I meant them...
