[MDairheads] 2019 Last Days of Summer Rally ReCAP

[Maryland Airheads]

Hedz,

Thank you to everyone who attended our sixth annual LDoS.  The weather
cooperated, we enjoyed some good riding, good food, and had a few new
attendees.  The rally was smaller this year than in years past, but the
small intimate atmosphere allowed ample time for catching up and telling
lies...

Much to Laura's chagrin Mae has grown to a height that makes her a good
motorcycle passenger... She truly loves being on the bike, so I let her
play hooky Friday (all homework is online now, so she didn't miss a step
there...) to go camping and ride motorcycles #bestdadever!..  Mae and I
headed out Thursday evening. Laura and Cash arrived Friday, but had to
leave Saturday evening. A short rally for them this year...

This year I hauled my Yamaha XT225 dirt bike out there again on the newly
incarnated chuck wagon/moto transport trailer.  Friday Mae and I went for a
beautiful 60 mile ride with David Hamburger on his 1972 Hodaka 100cc
2-stroker, and Jim McKinna astride his 1994 R100GS. Jim really never left
2nd gear, I was able to shift into 5th gear a few times, and David was in
every gear of his bike every 10 seconds to pull the 'hills' around there!
It was a hoot.

Bradley Barrus and John Vanhook rode the 550 miles from Massachusetts on
Wednesday again this year and spent the next three days piling on miles.
They decided to stay an extra day and are likely somewhere in PA or NY at
the time of this writing on their way back north. Others traveled from NY
down to Southern, Virginia and one guy was on his way back to Detroit!
Good to know LDoS is drawing a wide geographic range of riders these days...

Several riders came from Todd Trumbore's rally with nothing but good things
to say. I was bummed to have missed it...

Fred Teasley and the lovely Charlotte assisted with meals and clean up this
year.  I think I've found a new partner(s) to aid in putting the event
together and everything went smoothly. We worked well together. The only
thing that may have suffered was the timing of coffee service, as both Fred
and I were dragging a bit Saturday and Sunday mornings...

We dined on red beans and rice with slow cooked leg quarters Friday evening
and beef Bourguignon and roasted potatoes Saturday. Food was well received
and well consumed. Very few leftovers which made clean up a breeze.

A toast was raised to Mark Lipschitz Saturday evening along with many fond
reminiscences... Conserve your implements!

Saturday afternoon Rob Price and I called Eric Aspden to see where he was!
He was sitting on a dozer and said he would be there in seven hours.  We
thought he was half joking, then around 9:00 PM he and Jill rolled in!  It
was great seeing them and what a commitment. They were at the rally for
about 13 hours!

We missed Eric Zwicky again this year as he was down and out with a
terrible cold... Next year Eric!

I've created a share google photos link where people can to upload photos.
It is is in the signature line now and also here:

Mark your calendars...
