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!

Thank you for the replies!
Do the 80/100 watt H4 bulbs overburden the electrical system?

... read somewhere, oversized bulbs burn everything... wires, sockets, enclosures....
Stick with stock W size, maybe get a whiter bulb? Run some LED running lites
to get more notice?

If you want to be seen instead of trying for a higher wattage headlight bulb, do what I did and mount a set of high power LED driving lights on the crash bars. YOU WILL be noticed.
