Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

I have found that if I use a level on the trunk luggage rack, and put shims under the center stand to level the bike,3qts 22 oz will have the oil at 1/3 full in the sight glass :hmm: :gig: I have used shell rotella t6 5w-40 with no problems on my '99 XII :thmup: I went to a full synthetic on my GS1100GK since oil testing showed conventional oil broke down due to the high oil temperature .I have stayed with it on my XII,but I doubt it is necessary on this bike due to water cooling keeping the engine cooler than the Suzuki.
