John; John & Charlene are proprieters of Iron Horse.
Susan Galpin - after this event I quipped that she's the perfect woman (well, ok - certainly one of my lifetime favorites - skilled, confident, straight talking, no bull, and nice as all getout). Those of us who had the opportunity to ride with her (or, as in my case, try to keep up with her) had a life altering (and very enjoyable) experience. And - man - what a great story teller!
Lots of nice people at STC-II (if only my head held all those names better :-).
But I remember "just Joe"... lesse, that's him on the left... no... wait... I mean the right... *grin* (the right).
These nice folks offered up their grill, so Britton & I didn't need to pan fry burgers that night (we offered up some beer - it's a dry county there!). Actually, one of the worst things about Charlene's cooking is that we didn't get as much opportunity / motivation to cook out as we'd expected! (Charlene - the Salmon, though, was overcooked, girrrl :-).

Don says, "Kinda big dog for a first bike, isn't it?"
Some people really liked Mick-O-Pegs (foot rests to stretch your legs out on). They are spring loaded, and drop down. I even saw one bike that had Mick-O-Pegs, J-Pegs, and Mike's rests (BMW Highway Ottoman's -- pads to rest your calfs on, above the tipover wings). Some people complained that Mick-O-Pegs limited their cornering ability (they are the lowest mounted). Mike's pads seemed the most popular among the "extreme" cornering riders. Imagine, a couple of people even claimed to have worn HOLES into their side-cases from cornering (I didn't believe it, but Britton confirmed it with first hand eye-witnesses!).
I'll spot some of Mike's Highway Ottomans for you somewhere here.
