End to a great Rally

We finished another year at the Republic of Texas (ROT) Rally.  We did alot more riding this year than in previous years.  Our weather was much, much cooler than in previous years.  We didnt even have any need to go to Barton Springs to cool off this year. 

It was another year to hang with all of our ROT buddies.  We were so close to the amphitheater we didnt even need to leave to listen to the concert.  The one performer we did leave to go watch was Ted Nugent.  He was awesome.  I am hoping he will again be in Sturgis at Full Throttle like he was last year.

We did have one incident but I  will keep you in suspense till I can post more later along with pictures.

Pictures of Rot will be following shortly.  Stay tuned!

Your Red Headed Rider!
