This ride was at the Bluegrass Camp Night last month, though I never did track down the lucky owner:




That would have made two R65's.  Should have brought the flag!

Yeah, that's another thought behind taking the flag around to the events - just might recruit another member or two that way!  That R65 sure looks familiar...

Never did hear back from Sue, so I guess she's already headed west for the National Rally.  Guess the flag won't make it to that one.  :(  Unless there is someone else out there heading that way that wants to take it...  :question

I'm bumping this thread so any new folks that have joined up recently can see the flag and get in on a Flag Event!  Let's get one going!

Hopefully it will be at the BMW MOA National this summer.  I'm also planning to be at the BMW RA National in WV which is the weekend after the MOA.  Anyone else?

- you west coast folks need to come up with an event for the flag to attend.   Melena, isn't there a rally you attend regularly that has some R65ers there?

I currently have the flag in my possession.
Sue sent it to me hoping it would make me feel better!


If anyone wants it before the MOA national in June, let me know and I'll get it to you.

There's the 49er Rally over Memorial Day weekend.  I'll be going to that.  Anyone else out there on the West Coast going?  Maybe we can get a bunch of us to get there.

Yup, I'm planning on both the national and the RA in W. Virginia a week later. My brother Rich is going to try to come to the RA from Cape Breton. Then you will have two almost the same Canucks to fathom out!!!

I am glad the flag will have a good chance of arriving somewhere for a very positive occasion...not that feeling better isn't an occasion...sigh...you know what I mean?!

I'm glad the flag was able to be used in a positive manner during the off season.  No better reason that lifting the spirits of those in need!!!

Now let's keep the use to gatherings this year.... ok, guys and gals?

Sue, glad to hear you're planning on the RA rally as well.  We plan to hit Willville between the two.  And I'll get to meet your brother, since we never made that trip to Nova Scotia....

Not that one, though I'm hoping to make it to Chief Joseph this year.  I'm taking some forest management classes that will be eating up a bunch of weekends this year.

This newbe is planning on attending the MOA rally in June.  This will be the first trip on the 1982 R65 I am currently restoring.  Prior to this project changing oil and setting valve clearance was the extent of my motorcycle maintenance experience.  I attached a photo showing the status from two weeks past.

Wow, you are truly doing a "frame up" restoration, Stan!!  I'm envious!  Wish I had the nerve (and the resources) to do that with Britta.  I know at her age (and mileage) that she sure could use it!

I hope you'll provide us with plenty of pics showing your bike being brought back to life.  We all live for that kind of stuff here!

Look forward to meeting you and your bike at the MOA National in July!

That looks really good Stan. I agree with John that it would be good to get at our bikes from the bottom up like you have. LRB is looking a bit sandblasted from 88,000 miles. He still takes on a good shine though...in most places ie!

Well, I haven't kept this thread up very well - Here's a picture from the Lake O' the Pines Rally near Jefferson, Texas in 2009.
