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!
Yesterday,I saw a stupid move that I did not do I did that last Monday .As we were headed to a job about 5 miles away,we had to wait for a line of cars going the opposite way,so we could make a left hand turn.As I looked in my right mirror,I saw a motorcycle passing our line of trucks.He got along riding the berm, till he got to the forage harvester,which was wide enough he had too get in the wet grass of the ditch,he went down as he was passing the corn head,his head only missing by a couple inches.As traffic cleared,and I could make the turn,he had the bike back up,and was picking up plastic pieces.
yes its stupid things like that,that gives us bikers a bad reputation.nothing makes a cager madder than when a motorcycleist wont wait his turn in traffic,like riding down the emergency strip on the expressway.i always hope they get a flat from all the debris in the emergency lane that collects there.
I agree it's the 1% of the riders who are idiots that make the rest of us look bad. A rider who is doing as he should is not noticed but one who is flying in and out and acting a fool is seen by all.

I have a hard time saying too much about this kind of rider. 35 to 40 years ago when I was 10 feet tall and pretty much indestructible I rode pretty crazy. I have matured and don't even hardly believe I survived those days. Hopefully the riders you are talking about live long enough to become safe and respectfully riders, when they finally realize the danger they are putting themselves and everyone around them in.
