Right you are, follow the rider who drew the route or ride one at your own pace.

Once all of the routes are proofed. Brad will get them all cleaned up and organized so they will be viewable on Friday evening over cocktails.

Should be a good weekend

Just an idea






Stop for beer? Isn't that what the side tanks were intended to carry?

Hey Gord, that was the original plan but testing showed the beer got too foamy. I've revised the schematic so they now hold flat coke and rye. A tube runs up my jacket and is connected to a pump. Press the second starter button a voila, a mouth full of whiskey. I first ran this back in the80's in my truck, used the windshield washer container and ran a tube up threw the seat, hit the windshield washer button and voila.

The flow rate needs to be tinkered with a bit but I'm hopeful of a perfect solution. Just trying to figure out a retractable hose solution so I don't have to be on the bike, a nice 30 foot diameter is what I am after, just far enough to sit by a fire with a wireless remote connected to the second start button on the bike.

Yes it's been a long winter

Call the resort, there are likely a couple of cabin spots left.

Wilma will get you the 411

I know there is one other inmate that is booked in with a Ural. Possibly a second one if he brings it.

I would be bringing my son also with my Ural but I'm recovering from a knee surgery. If I decide to go, it will be a very last minute decision based on how my knee feels just before the rally.

A Ural should be okay. I did the ride on mine a couple of years ago.
Only had one problem when a washed out section turned a dual track path into a single track. The sidecar caused quite a bow wake going through the pond.

I'm booked up. But since I just sold my DR650, I will be riding Stupid (my FZ1) this time.
And because I doing the road circuit now, I will probably be bringing my girlfriend.
