Harley Mom's Guestbook

Love AR
Hi Cindy! I too, LOVE riding in AR.. ever since the Spank Rally. I even purposely planned one of the legs of my NSR run back through AR. I agree, I feel that more Harley riders should have confidence in the current model's reliability and long-distance suitability to toss their hats into the IBR. I was sorry to hear about Bob L's exit from the rally, but at least it was a forest critter and not him or his Harley that caused his DNF. He was on a good ride up until then. For what it's worth, I'm planning on tossing my hat into the ring for the 2011 event on the same FLHT I had at the NSR (crash damaged mostly fixed and it's running as strong as ever)... Keep your fingers crossed ;)

Another Great Read
I found another diamond in your back log of blogs. Thanks Alec

How Nice!
Thanks for sharing. Riding horses has been recognized as great therapy. Also, I'm sure Dad appreciates his time with you.....and you with him is good for you too!

Another good report
I always look forward to reading your ride reports Cindy... ride safe! Tom

FUN
Sounds like you had a great trip. Thanks for the read!

Thank you
I am the sister (technicly speaking sister-in-law) to Matt Kelley.. I wanted to thank you for this.. it's been nearly 5 months now and still feels like my sister called me yesterday to tell me he was never coming home...It still hasn't really hit me.. I just wanted you to know I appreciate your post.. I miss him, always will.

Thanks!
Hi Cindy, Thanks for posting this. I was on my way to ride the Trace last September when something came up and I had to scrap the trip. I am still planning on going, sometime in the fall I will try again. Your travel blog will surely help me in deciding what I want to see and what I may skip. I did get to do a "East Texas Ride" in October, but I think the Trace trip would have been more interesting.

Thank you Matt Kelley and the wonderful Patriot Guard
I was born and raised in cameron misssouri. Last Saturday on Feb. 7, would have been my mother's 73th birthday. Instead of going to the cemetary, I became a part of something these eyes will never forget. To be a part of our community coming together, to honor our fallen hero, is something I will never forget. My sister in law, daughter, and grandson attended this memorable event. We did not no Matt Kelley personally, but by the time the weekend was over, I believe he became a part of every member of our town's family. I proudly waved my American flag, while standing across the street from the Methodist Church. My grandson,Parker sat in his stroller, and waved his little flag, as if he also knew why we were there. To see the Patriot Guard, honoring our fallen hero, with flags, protecting his family from those that don't realize that if it weren't for Matt, they would not be able to exercise their freedom of speech, nor freedom of religion. Thank you Patriot Guard and thank you MATT KELLEY!

Thanks Cindy!
Great coverage Cindy! That's the "way it was"! Another memorable year at the ECR. Every year brings another group of XL riders closer together. I have the greatest respect for each and every one of you! 'Til we meet agin'... Lonzo

You're amazing
Just sitting here reading your blog and all I can say is wow! A true inspiration for us all. Keep it up!
