Indiana with Digital Rodey -HD shops

We left New Haven this morning headed to meet up at the Louiseville for breaky t his morning and to meet up with GG, O.J., Jeff. I believe they rode 140 miles to get to us. As we were pulling in I saw them waving, and also the news was there. We had no idea they were going to be there. Me, Gypsie, and Rob were interviewed. I am sure I was a blumbering idiot, stuck for words. Gypsie is lovely and full of words, just the right words. Gypsie was kind enough to lead us there, have breaky and turn back.. I hope you made it home safe Gyps... miss ya already. Every dang time some one leaves that I have spent days with it is so hard.
Here is the adress WLKY 32 NEWS CHANNEL ncollins@hearst.com
You will probably check it out before me, as usual, I am behind on stuff. I need a day of rest soon, tomorrow should be laxadazy!!
Back to the dealership in Louisville. The little breaky was fantastic, bagel, cream chees and assorted fruit, orange juice , coffee and water. The gals were all real nice, and friendly. They all wore pink Harley shirts for us and had little weclome Conga signs. They have donated a Harley Clock, to auction off, when I get home. Thank goodnes they are shipping it home. Most of the girls donated some money and I gave them either on of Priss's feathers, or a magnet. Everyone that donates gets a little something. We were there about an hour and Digital Rodney and Kasey were only 30 miles away so that worked out great. As we were pulling in, I could see them with their camera as he too did an interview, and filmed us riding through wonderfull Indiana.
GG and the gang didn't ride very far from there, as they had a ways to go back too.
Of course we did take lots of pics so you will have to go to face book to see them.

The ride on the back roads around Indiana were extremely beautiful. At times it was like the Dragon. Many curves some real tight ones and some up and down hills like a roller coaster, beautiful farms and creeks. The smell of fresh cut grass and dead racoons all over the place. I was thinking about Chantelle and knew she was probably getting tired, and we had a ways to go. I think we probably did a couple hundred miles of mostly twisties.
We also went to the HD in Lafayette, and they had cookies and lemonade for us. A real friendly bunch. They donated, quite a few items which I sold most in the parking lot. heck they even booked us a room... Very nice people!!
They took us for a lunch at Mayberry restauarant, where there is memorbilia of the Andy Griffith show. It was Rodney, Kasey and John, that were there, and I have to tell you it was great company.
We changed our plans about staying in Hammond as we were all exhausted.. I hope that didnt cause any problems anywhere. We are down to just me, Rob, Cookie!!! We are staying at a best Western. Now for those that are traveling wear pink and say you are on the BC Ride, they didint even ask for proof, but I think our helmets gave it away. We got it halve price,
Another short and sweet situation with Rodney. All of you who couldnt make it sure missed out!! He is going to make a movie out of the day and sell it, for donations to the fund.. dang, I hope more than me and Chantelle will buy.. He you will get to see the wonderful roads.
Thankyou all, and John, thanks for your generous donation. Don't forget to call Ride Like a Pro and tell them Flo sent ya.
Going to chill out for awhile and put some money on the fund... whoo whooo!!
