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 sure you probably know this but just in case use a air shock pump not an air hose or you will probably blow out your seals.

If 10 or even 15 lbs (too much according to Kaw at 15, but I've done that for a while) does not do it and you still bottom or is too soft, it is time for Progressive springs. I assume you still have stock springs, and they really don't last all that long or do the best job by any means.

I'd get progressive springs. Better ride & cheap, easy to install to. Then you can ride without air in the forks
