Bobby G Posted May 31, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 31, 2011 Got safely home last night around 6pm after staying the night in Roanoke after the ride was over. Just an overwhelming and humbling experience to have made this trip to honor our Heroes and Veterans. Did just about everything I'd hoped to do while up there, including visiting The Wall and a few other monuments, and spending several hours walking Arlington National Cemetery to visit some of Georgia's finest who are buried there. Also witnessed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the burial place of JFK. Those scenes will literally take your breath away. I also visited all of the vendors on Thunder Ally and got some awesome pins and patches. The RSV performed great all the way, including the Iron Butt ride on Thursday - - left Marietta GA at 0600 and arrived in Fairfax VA at 8pm. 681 miles - - my longest single day ride ever. I even beat several storm fronts that were moving in my direction pretty much all day Thursday. What a ride! Total ride by the time I got home last night was 1,556 miles. Met a few Venture riders there from CT and VA, but not too many were to be found. The H-D Ultra Classic was the dominate bike there by a long shot. But at least I didn't overheat like a few of them did! LOL! Time to clean the scoot. It's about as disgustingly filthy as it's ever been..... Here are some pics.

Only saw about 5 other RSVs, met a guy with a VR patch on but didn't catch his name, he had ridden up from NC I believe. Was he riding a cherry colored bike with brown leather work on it? That would be BEER30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
