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!

Re: oil changes
Many answers to that question! Many here use Shell Rotella T 15W-40 dino or Rotella T6 5W-40 synthetic. Another favorite is Mobil One Truck Diesel 5W40 synthetic. Just make sure the spec label does not say "energy conserving" (the clutch will slip.)

Re: oil changes
FWIW, I use the Rotella T-6 in both my bikes. Change oil/filters at 5K on both and have had no problems in the little better than 90K miles I've put on them.
