Thanks for the nice thoughts Bill

I'd rather not repeat that, EVER again....

Keep an eye out for the trucks in the area

I don't care when we leave, I can plan for anything pretty easily, so whatever you've got time for.
...but my vote is...... two days of dirt
So....show up at my place Tuesday afternoon, sometime/anytime,
and we can leave Wednesday morning and get into the Rally by 5-ish Thursday evening.


Plenty of country camping space at my house, and a shower.
BBQ, campfire , and breakfast in the AM.
Seriously, I have lots of space, and all are welcome

...... I'll be very glad to show you all our local gems on the way down South to Bend.
There are many great kick-ass & unimproved, Wilderness border roads all the way there.
And one GREAT (I mean GREAT !!) pavement twisty near the end,
with a very neat volcanic observatory at it's summit.

Edit: I plan to tent camp when I get to the Rally. I'd rather spend money on my bike/gas than in any Hotel/Motel

Hey Apple Jam, count me in for the Tuesday meetup (11th), 2-days of dirt to the event! I'll be on my 990. I can camp a few nights.

I plan to go soft this event, with a room in the KTM booked block of rooms. I spent decades tent camping, backpaking etc... I like a little comfort now and then as I get older and beat up.

Be great to see everybody.

Hey Don,

Hope to see you before the rally, but if not I will see you in Bend!

I'm IN!!!

How old do you have to be to test ride the bikes? Anyone else heading up from the South Bay (San Jose)?

I'd say slower, too, but maybe not.... with these bikes,,,,
