WOW! Now that's what I call a road trip. 
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: Home Safe from Wisconsin Rally
Hank43, did you camp or hotel it? Pull a trailer? Did you have a passenger? How many times did you wish you had that bigger tank? Got a good start on mine this week.
Sounds like you averaged just under 350 miles/day. That's a nice road trip! Glad you got to attend the rally. Would have been nice if you could have swung down here (KC) on your way home.
I just picked up another bike, one with a 3.8 gallon tank, and it also gets terrible fuel mileage (well, at least the way it begs to be driven!), so it needs a fill up before I get tired. Of course, it's just close around the KC area, but it still occurred to me that a bigger tank would give me more options about when and where to stop.

Moteled all the way, always ride 2 up on the trike, having to stop frequently for gas is not all that bad, my 73 yr old A** needs it. Had the trike ECU reflashed before I left, oh what a difference! Went up and down the mountains like they were flat. As a bonus, got from 39.97 to 32.xx MPG. Well worth the 350 clams it cost!
