Coyote, Old Man and Toj. They are relaxing and checking the grass for Chiggers.
The EZ up is a popular place now that the sun came out. It's hot and muggy, people are hanging out relaxing.
U-Turn pulled a good one on Hotsauce. He substitued some kind of cheap bottle of water or something into Hotsauce's very expensive Tequila box. Then when Scott rode up, U-turn brought the box over, fumbles it and the bottle broke...
Wompas and Montene.
Malachi bought this Yellow Mohawk thingy to put on his helmet to match the Wing. Billy G. is modeling it.
This is sort of an "all hands" project!
They do have enough tools, or so it appears..lets see....how fast do you want this bike to go???
Gale (Curb) and Jack (Jax) didn't have much time to attend the rally, but they drove up this morning from Tennessee. Good to see them, if only for the one short afternoon.
The Pink Ladies! 
This is part of my Uncle Hirshel's breakfast. Love that salty country ham!
From across the table.
Marlene had an apple cobbler with ice cream for breakfast. Well, it had fruit, grains, and milk! What more do you need?
This was Yvette's breakfast..sweet and yummy!
A typical motel breakfast (not)
I saw this cool hat and took this picture of it. When I went outside to get on the bike, Malachi had bought it for me! Thanks, Buddy.................
That chair is a little large for Scotty.
Marlene, Yummy and Scotty. Dualing cameras.

This is a private residence in Richmond.
I took over a dozen house pictures, will only post a few here, just for an example of all the nice old, large homes in Richmond.
Brick and lumber both, there are hundreds of homes like this here.
OK, this will be the last. I rode down Main street this morning, just for a few pics.
A large Methodist church. I think I counted a 5 or 6 very large churches in about a 6 block stretch here in town.
I think this was the Municiple building.
Lower downtown area.
Some kind of Government building I think. I was riding and couldn't see the name on it.
Kind of a cool sign in a church lawn.
Shelby, VSP and Buck (RP)
Donald was presented with a dozen Moon Pies this morning. He remembers them from his youth. With a case of RC Cola and these, he'll make it all the way back to California on a sugar high!
Biglefti and Chunk are comparing notes in a 96% humid morning. At least it's not raining right now.
Sherm with Marlene and KT. I like these ladies, they make me look tall!
Nickels and Dutch. Nice Seahawk shirt! And he's from Steeler country?

Wonder what kind of pranks these two will be up to later on?? I'm sure I'll be sound asleep long before the party is over tonight.
Buck is waiting for the fire to get going.
Mike Miller. Tom's brother.
Getting ready to start the raffle. Howard and Linda Sublow and their kids, Brian and Laura did the huge job of collecting the items and running the raffle. Thanks also to Kawasaki's ROK and Teri Conrad for donating the factory items.
The room is jammed with over 200 people, and they are outside in the halls too.
A shirt Piper donated to have everyone sign to give to Max to remember this night.
Max has some serious health issues, and is waiting for a transplant. He's here in good spirits and drew the tickets for the raffle.
Piper donated a nice boys leather jacket for Max.
Max getting ready to draw the first ticket.
There was a mystery box, won by Susan...I think this may have been rigged.....how 'bout that Kelly? 
The Sublow's and Max. There's Jim and Cat right in front too. The drawing went quickly and everyone had a good time.
Epibunny won a ladies t-shirt. One size fits all, so she had to model it over her clothes.
I was trying on some kind of head or neck gear donated by Kawasaki. Charlie grabbed my camera and took this shot as I was trying to figure out how to wear it.
The 50/50 raised $2400! As luck would have it, Denise Miller won the cash. She donated it ALL back to the pot so it all went to Max's fund. What a lady! She got a very deserving standing ovation. There were a few tears floating around too.
Tom Miller had a few words at the end of the evening. He did a fine job on this rally. Good location, good food, and good rides. Now..........if the weather had been a little better..................This will be "the" rally that a lot of people will remember for a long time.
These people are all winners. Tom, Max, Denise, and Emily, (Max's mother)

Badger and Toj. A couple of low numbers and fine VROC'ers. We don't see much of Toj at the western rallies, but for those that don't know, he issues numbers and takes care of the server fund. a BIG job, and he's always done it above reproach!

These are pulled pork sandwiches. They were huge, and the price was very good.
Since there was no pie to fight over, Rabbi graciously let Chunk go first. 
Before dinner, my phone rang. It was Jack Foree. He has been watching us on this web cam! Pretty cool, he was watching me talk to him on the phone. Cargo has set this up for SEVROC and now here. Pretty nice for those at home that can't be here.
