in the end, well the last laugh belonged to those who giggled the least...in that, despite all the gremlins aboard OTHER pilota's scoots (Steve's head bearing, Rocky's starter, Alton's warning light of no gas left BEFORE we hit the dredge pits, my locking rear brake and now non functioning Sony camera (this pic taken with the phone cam)), fortune and fame quite possibly turned so that I was the one that had to get towed back across the bridge, because quite possibly I forgot to reset my odo properly, thus leaving me to believe that I had way more petrol than I really did...I say quite possibly, as it could be quite possibly one of the other lads since no evidence of the rider being towed is shown...

nonetheless, dispite the mishaps, it really was quite the incredible ride...or in the least, just another great ESSCAPE...
