Met my frist Venturerider in person

[Stratcat]

Went back up to Rabbit Hash Ky today (See thread http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22696) and Mariner Fan (Bob) and his lovely bride Ruthie drove down the 3 hours or so to meet up with us for a bit. Bob was one of the first to welcome me on here and we have been chatting regular, so it was sure nice to put a face with the screen name. Anway here are some pics of the day....

Hmmmm could we be brothers from other mothers :rotf:

It was great day indeed!....:sign woo hoo:

[Mariner Fan]

I'm the first VetureRider you met? Geez, hope you don't hold that against everyone else here! :rotf:

Well, we are back. Rode 300+ miles with no issues except we both have sun/windburned faces. I was laughing at Ruth and she told me to look in the mirror. :whistling:

Rabbit Hash is a great place to go. Why? Cause it's different and the road there is really windy. Ruth and I got there before Stratcat. We were sitting at a table people watching when we saw him ride up. First thing he did was walk over to my bike and check it out. Course it was one of the best looking rigs out there. :)

It was funny how many Harley riders stopped to check the Venture out.

Here are a couple of pictures

The hamburger guy. He and the girl selling beer were making a killing.

I'll bet this dude had troubles negotiating the sharp corners on the way to Rabbit Hash!

Don't know why I took a picture of this bike other than it was really yellow!

Kewl pics!

"It was funny how many Harley riders stopped to check the Venture out."

Of course the Harley riders checked out your bike. They thought it was a Harley and wondered why theirs did not look as good!

[Stratcat]

Great Pics Bob!! Really Really enjoyed it! Wish we would have had more time:confused24: Oh well that gives us an excuse to do it again!

[Yama Mama]

I have only met one person from this group myself - Rick Butler. Cannot wait to see a hole bunch more soon!

Hope he drops by on the 21st, even though it is his Birthday.

[Dano]

Let me know when you guys want to do it again, we'll join up with ya'.

[Stratcat]

We'll do Dan this one wasn't really planned was very last minute. Would be fun to have a bunch from the region show up!

[DragonRider]

Think you guys could shrink them a little so they could fit on my screen.......cant take in all the beauty without scrolling my screen from top to bottom and side to side.............

Exactly where is Rabbit Hash, Ky,..............like to visit it sometime...........and you were right, that 2nd Gen was the best looking bike there, cause I didnt see a 1st Gen........:rotf::rotf::stirthepot::stirthepot:
