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!

Most use Iridium since they last longer & perform better.

I used Iridium because they worked so well on my weak-coiled Honda. The Voyager has strong coils, but the Iridium plugs require so little power to fire, using them pretty much guarantees no mis-fires, and less un-burned fumes coming out of the pipes. Plus, they should last 100,000 miles on a car, so they should last 50,000-100,000 miles on a bike. Only down-side, is their price: $9-$10 per plug. Cheers!

Iridiums here. Noticed improved throttle response versus standard plugs and i swear my hair began growing thicker.
