X-Comment: East Coast Motorcyclists Mailing List A big Canuck thanks to Jim for hosting such a great event! The weather was a little dicey at first, but it turned out just fine for the saturday ride. I want to thank all of you for making it worth the 10 hour I-81 trip there (and 10 hours back). I don't have time for a complete trip report now so here are the awards. ---------------------------------------- Bravest Pillion RCR IV Annette Behanna wins the award after dealing with too many hours on the back of the old honda 360 (ow, ow, ow!). Chris, be nice next time,buy a goldwing seat for the ZX-11! ----------------------------------------- (the smashed electrode award) Bike Most Likely Not To Make It Back RCR IV There was actually no question about whether the bike was going to make it back, given that it was in the back of a u-haul (Steve Garnier with his old XS-11 and the driveshaft of many pieces) ----------------------------------------- Most Memorable Moment RCR IV Stay tuned to the web pages for the answer to this one! ------------------------------------------ Iron Butt - Longest Distance RCR IV Well this was a close one. The award went to the couple from Florida (Jim Groh?). Honorable mention goes to Tom Gent; he had travelled just as far, but with far less trouble. ------------------------------------------- Best Nocturnal Noises RCR IV It appears that Mr, Kadis had not finished the wonderful sport-touring ride he piloted on saturday. Jon was heard to be shouting 'Come-on guys' from his slumber. Thanks Jon, snooring is always so commonplace :-) -------------------------------------------- Cruelest Bike RCR IV The Duc 916 looked pretty cruel, but the old honda 350 would probably have been one of the most uncomfortable touring bikes. (I forgot his name!!) --------------------------------------------- Largest Moving Land Mass RCR IV I thought Amy Spiker was impressive with the virago and sidecar combination, but the Hog sidecar rig was indeed the largest motorcycle powered vehicle I have every seen! ---------------------------------------------- Best Excuse Not To Ride RCR IV Ian Howie's photo journal of the remains of his FJ1200 and the car he totalled off were impressive. I didn't know forks could snap off like that =8-0. I hope he gets his thesis finished so he can get a real job and a bike. Oh yeah, great coffee and tea management! Iangetabike. ---------------------------------------------- Baring's Financial Management Award RCR III Cliff "I want to be a lion tamer" Weston (little toy porsche...the closest he'll ever get to a real sports car based on his creative financial management) Obviously Cliff is not a fan of Monty Python and the subtlety of "I want to be a lion tamer" was lost on him. Cliff, watch more TV. --------------------------------------------- Drooling Spagthorpe Award Most Appreciated Person Jim "Dances with Moose" Bessette RCR IV The rawhide bone award went to Jim for his wonderful efforts. I'm sure he has learned his lesson about hosting an RCR! --------------------------------------------- Keeper of the Hangover RCR IV Sadly, the award was inconclusive. Martyn seemed to recover fairly well from his serious imbibing of spirits the night before (although people had heard a few groans as he was standing at the coffee table). Ted also recovered well; it apears that he has had a lot of practice! The award went back with me to Canada where it will most certainly be awarded at the Canadian Assault 1.1. ---------------------------------------------- Feats in the Horizontal Plane RCR IV Thankfully there were no real incedents to define a certain winner. However, Kit (catness) managed to give onlookers a little humourous scene when the slippery grass got the best of the CB-1. ----------------------------------------------- Joe Ogulin also won a nice disc lock as an award for getting his bike stolen a few too many times in the last three months! ------------------------------------------------ Mike ============================================================================== = The Beav | Mike Beavington | mbeaving@bnr.ca | DoD #9733 | Ottawa, Canada = = V65Sabre my opinions<>bnr opinions = = "Hang on everyone!!!
