Tim,

We all would like to thank you for the time and effort that you put into getting the maps, times, and reservations for us!!!! We enjoyed the "short" ride to the ferry!!!!! I think that we might have seen "snow" along with the "whitecaps" on the river!!!!! The lunch at the lodge was a great idea and a great view when the sun came out!!!!

Well hope everyone had a good time and got home safe and warm!!!!

Racer old buddy, "The Blinker" did and excellent job of the navigating!!!!! LOL We missed you on the ride!!!!!

I'm going to see where a guy can get a set of those "self-perpetuating" turn signals. If you'd have told me a person could ride from Louisville to Paducah with his turn signals on I never would have believed it.

Were there small craft warnings out for the ferry crossing?

Of course, I wouldn't have believed Hoovey would have let us ride off and leave Brent in the parking lot either!! :oops:

What a great ride :D :D Thanks Tim for all your effort. It was a tad coolish but that didn't detract from a fun ride with great people.

Racer, the bar has been set pretty high for the ride to the Gorge, but I think you're up to it!!

I have been across that bridge when there were white caps on the water :lol: :lol: :lol: thinking what the ferry might be going through :shock: some of the operators need some more pratice when the water is calm, I can only imagine how it would be if there is white caps and one of those operators that ram everything in sight is at the helm :shock: but there are some you can get off of your bike and it is a sliky smooth ride across and the landing is the same, no ramming the landing ramp.

Matchsticks rear fender is on and he has a very nice paint job done by the weekly, for some reason I thought it was going to be orange :?: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You know... you can buy them books, and buy them books, but all they ever do is eat the covers.....

Great Pics Timmer!!

Too bad you couldn't get a shot of Harry putting a crease in his saddle when we went over the Ohio river into Paducah. I don't think he enjoyed riding on steel grates. :shock:

Thanks to Tim for putting the ride together. I know Tiffany and I had a great time even though it was COLD, and I don't think I will even forget about riding over that bridge. I am going to start a group fund to but a blinker buddy for Timmer. I have also been thinking about Hoovey leaving his son behind (was it some kind of hint). Thanks again and we are looking forward to Red River Gorge on May 20th.

Sounds like we all missed a good ride. It has beem suggested we have another ride "over there". So look for something on this in the future.

Great pix Timmer, always adds so much to the ride.

Y'all be safe

lotta warm clothes in those pictures.
