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!

Has anyone ever towed the voyager with one of those front wheel lift holders that leave the rear wheel on the ground ? Good ? Bad? :thk:

The bevel drive on the end of the transmission that the driveshaft attaches to only gets oil at the bearings when the engine is running. Towing the Voyager XII in that manner will ruin the bearing.

I rent a motorcycle trailer from U Haul when I need to bring the bike somewhere. I had one 9 days last time and it cost me about $250. Not bad when you consider not having to buy and store a trailer.
