I just wanted to tell everyone what a great first experience I had today. This was my first cruise event with my new VS Speedster named "Rhonda" Everyone who attended was very cordial, friendly, and helpful to me and my friend who had white knuckles riding along with me to the meeting place from Arcadia. (Mostly looking UP at truck tires and motorcyclists) This was only my second day of taking Rhonda out for a spin. I now have 200 miles on the odometer. For me, one of the most surprising things was that when we were standing around at the meeting place, four guys in two red Porsche's pulled over to check us out and spent considerable time with us just checking out our "Maddness" We didn't continue up to the Ranch,unfortunately, because my friend had to go to a retirement party in the early evening so Rusty... i apologize for ducking out early but Thank-you for your great efforts to put this event together! It's hard to remember everyone's name being so new to SOC but I'm sure that, over time, I will start to remember faces with the names I see here on this site. Again...Thank you..........Bruce
