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'm riding while I still can. But those days are clearly numbered. (I've been looking at eBikes.)

Glad you survived. Sounded ugly.

Bummer. 4 wheels, huh? You going to stick with something comfortable or perhaps rock a 440 Road Runner?

Bill, accidents can happen regardless of the vehicle but the safety level in a cage is definitely much higher as well as creature comforts! Glad you are mending and praying your body mends as close to perfect as possible. Stay safe and enjoy life!!!!
After all that's the benefit of being alive, having the ability to make decisions and enjoy them! :wnk2:
Your wisdom and experiences will always be welcomed here, so please don't leave - pop in every once in a while, to keep us on the straight and narrow!
