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!

Starter questions
On my bike ('90 XII) have noticed that the bike is a little reluctant to start when warmed up, and after searching through the forums have learned that Ma Kaw changed the starter from a 2-brush model to a 4-brush model at some point during the production run. Have looked online and found some new starters available on ebay for about $100, has anyone had any experiences with these? Is there anything I should look out for if I'm going from the older style to the newer one? Thanks

Re: Starter questions
The 4 brush starter is plug and play, nothing to do but hook up the wire.
They are bulletproof and I haven't come across a bad one on eBay yet, and I have purchased 3 so far. Admittedly I did
polish the commutators, checked them for internal shorts, of which there were none, and checked the brushes for wear, which was negligible.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another if I should have the need.
