I'm hoping to be able to go, but need to get closer to see for sure.
Maybe on a new F800ST?  ;D

Yeah, I've never been nuts about the F650 thumpers myself (no offense, anyone), but these new 800cc twins really look and sound great. My first real street riding was on Triumphs, BSAs and the old Yamaha XS650s, so I've always had a soft spot for vertical twins. This F800 makes 85 horsepower and only weighs 400 lbs, so it oughta be a nice little rocket!

My first bike of any kind was my CL360.  I hope they don't sound like that!

yep first bike i had was a norton commando, and then a bunch of other limmie stuff i wish i still had. had a xs650 and a kz750 twin. i really liked that kz750 twin.

ok so who is going to make some t-shirts so we can stand out in the moa crowd and find each other???
i have a order in for some patches but it is kind of hard to see them in a sea of people.

Bronco Brown t-shirts..we'll blend in with the dirt!!! ;D

At Lima and at Essex Junction I have only met up with Rob and that was pure chance..almost ESP! No matter what we plan like daiquiris etc. we can't seem to meet up in that sea of people. I guess we need a precise time, in the beer garden, on a certain night, at the door, wearing BB t-shirts if that's what it takes! Sounds like a game of Clue!!

No National Rally for me again this year.  Just no time.  I will be thinking of you guys though.  Maybe this time we can hook up with the cell phones?

Hmmm sounds like an excuse for a ride.  Should we bring our fishing gear? ;)  Probably what we need is a flag on a pole above the crowd.  Variations on the theme of the patch.
