Nice videos, but I have to say it sounds like you're making balloon animals.
Sean (blue group leader). You and your friend Joe (I think) did a kick ass job leading our group.. Yes it did get a bit technical at the end but we got through it and I wouldn't have changed a thing!! I don't remember everyone's name but, it was great to meet you all. I hope the few that weren't on the forum actually sign up and review this thread as they truly did become part of the trip. Damage and all..

What an awesome time..
Andrew and Jay, I know I've already thanked you personally but here it is again!! Thank you for putting this together. Alana, I hope your knee feels better soon. [emoji22]
Thank you everyone for making this happen, it had been something I've wanted to do for a very long time and after this weekend my daughter Anna and I can't wait to do it again!! Yes Anna had a blast, she talked about the weekend the entire ride home, she explained to me that I couldn't talk to her mother about the trip without her as she wanted to tell the story.. (Youngfire). She's wearing her new shirt to school tomorrow and very excited about it.. She thinks your super cool.

I hope everyone made it home safe!!! Till next time...
We just made it home so sorry for the lack of reply. It was awesome to meet so many new people and I'm glad everyone had a great time in spite of the cold/wet snap mother nature threw ojr way.
I'm sorry we weren't a bit more social during the grilling phase, but after limping Steve and Knuckles back to the hotel all I wanted to do was shower and try to get the gear oil off my hands. Once we were cleaned up the party had moved inside. To be honest, I was thankful bacause I was done with the cold,
Thank you to everyone that came out and for sharing your individual experiences. A big special thanks for the pictures. I captured a whopping 0 all weekend. I was reminded again just how amazing Eddie and Cindy are for being able to both spot AND capture the amazing footage they do.
Steve, I'm really sorry... I hate to see any trail break, but yours was exceptionally rough. In a way it's good it happened when it did. The way the pinion was falling into the carrier and causing the wheels to lock up it could have ended much worse had it let go on the highway.

Nope a shop in NJ did but when I went to get my stock ds off last weekend I took it to pep boys to zip off the pinion nut cause It was to tight. I come to find out they took a hammer to the pinion bending the seal. This lead to the bearing failing and this happening
When are we going back?
