That last one is two Bills and Mike. There were a lot of people named Bill and Mike at this TSMR.

The video at the beginning gets my blood going again. Something about the sound of those bikes cranking and going.

Can't mistake Alex and his Royal Star at the rest stop on the BRP. Gotta admire a racer guy who brings the smallest twin to the Rally.

What a weekend! Thanks for the pictures.

So we’re all hanging around the Blowing Rock Inn talking about the next day’s ride:

Mr. Mike holds forth on the benefits of Singles while I take it all in:

This is a “Knight’s on Main” omelet with fried potatoes and a big fluffy biscuit; gotta keep your strength up!

The two Carters getting pumped up for the ride!

“Masterblaster! Listen to the LAW!” Gordon in the rider’s meeting prior to the off, keeping us straight. It works; 11 years and a total of 300 riders, and never anyone hurt.


More .....

Young Alec tries out his dream “sport bike”, a GB-500 Honda. This was a nice one!

Only one woman on the ride this year, and she’s MINE, ALL MINE, BWAHAHAHA!

Off up the road we go, 200 miles of mountain magic.

No Name Man, Mr Mike, RF, Tom, and Alec holding up the wall of a store. “Loitering Prohibited”!

Willy had a private name for his “Anyone Can Ride Me” Ducati beater, which actually did very well! Thanks Willy for always bringing extra bikes for people to ride, “just in case”.

And lots and lots of THIS to go round!


Lannis

Don't hold out on us, Lannis, I know you got a LOT more than that. I rode directly behind you for a stretch, and Fay was working that camera like a Japanese tourist. Show 'em. Greg

My photos posted on GABMA.....

Rat Cheer

Enjoy!

Click on the link at the top of the entry or the one here at the bottom for about 70 more photos. Thanks for the great weekend. I had an amazing time on the ride and enjoyed getting to meet everyone. See you all at British in the Blue Ridge. Photo Link

I'm low-down and no account about taking photos at bike events, but I'll share a few that my buddy Cass took. First is Cass's view of the camera duel with Gordon. ... Rear view of Semper Gumby's BSA 650 Gold Wing DeLuxe ...Another look at that nice Honda ... Mike G's cool BSA parked beside DPO's Triumph, which ran great all weekend. . Bruce's (Atlanta Bonnie) pristine '68 Bonneville, which he generously loaned to MikeG to ride Saturday

Much respect here for you putting on those miles on an A65. Really good to meet you, Bill.

WOW!!!!! simply the BEST TSMR photo's EVER.....thank you thank you thank you.

The slideshow is amazing....you're an artist and thank you for sharing.

YHS.....Gordon

+1 on what Gordon said. That's an amazing slide show!

I've stolen the link and posted it on GABMA. With no apologies!!

Thanks for the compliments. All taken with an iPhone on the Hipstamatic (smaller photos) and Camera+ applications.

I have a few additional sets from some vintage bike racing events in the competition section if anyone's interested (Maxton Speed Trials, AHRMA Vintage MX in Sanford, NC and AHRMA Vintage Cross Country).

I'll back you on that Gordon

Seeing familiar faces & places was nearly, but not quite, as good as being there.
But do tell, what happened to the cloud & rain? TSMR is not TSMR without a bit dampness from what I have seen here.
I remember being told about someone putting wet socks in a microwave to dry them out

There are some superb photos of the route that will enhance the memories disc of our Big Adventure 2010 So folks, without shame & with no malice aforethought I have ripped off some of your pics :bigt

Thank you all for sharing your tales, thoughts & pics

Bryan & Marie in Old England

No can see, Bob, both here and on the OSMR topic, I just get a Photobucket login screen and no access to pics ....

Lannis

Try again. Also, be care where on the link you click, or it's a sell-job for the app.
