I got the bike dropped off to the shipper this morning and then travelled to Philadelphia airport for the flight back home, where I am currently adding the finishing touches to a pint of amber nectar.
I agree with Rat, for me, the whole trip would not have been possible without the help of the boss. I am grateful for him collecting the bike and bringing it to his shop. I am grateful for him to be my eyes and to go through the bike to make out a list of needed parts and work to be done. I am grateful for the use of his shop, I am grateful for the opportunity to work beside him. I am grateful for his knowledge and consideration knowing that I am riding on the wrong side of the road for me. I am grateful that all the above provided me with the opportunity to meet all of you fine folks, albeit for too short a time. In the fullness of time, perhaps we can improve on that. More meetups, more time.
I should not forget that Steve and Rusty invited me into their home, without knowing me as anything as a guy on the internet. I was made feel most welcome, and we did have some good conversations.
On a scale from 1 to 10, this trip hits a strong 12 for me.
I wish all of you health and happiness till the next time. I've never been to Kentucky.......

Great news Liam, many high risk items for you making your flight in Philly. Glad that worked out as scheduled. Nice being your roommate also.

Would not have done those things if I did not think it would be a good time. It was and I had fun!!

Big thanks to Oldewing is also important for putting up Fred Camper and BStubing overnight. Greg and Kathy are always super fine hosts.

At the moment I am sitting at home on the couch. Flight home was supposed to be 6 hours and 10 but somehow they knocked 25 minutes off that. Must have been a tailwind.
