Looks like we are back to Hot Springs again this year. October 12-15th. Join us for some great rides and fun. We're looking at cabins again. I'll update as we get closer to the ride.

I always post on this even though I've only been a few times. A great ride with a small bunch of good fellas. Since I just got back from a 7 day ride out to North Carolina, there's no way the wife would think it would be ok to go out again so soon. Such is marriage sometimes.

Lived there for too many years, that's why I can't go there much any more. Out of town for a couple of weeks but when I get back and get the T120 farkled up for riding y'all come on over and we'll buzz the backroads a bit. At this point I have to say it is a great bike. Loads of torque, tries to throw you off the back if you twist your wrist hard!

Okay Donny called the cabins. They have openings for that weekend. Each cabin has 3 beds divided between 2 bedrooms. Cabins are very nice and extremely clean. You are on your own calling to make reservation for your cabin. Click on the website above to get the number and actually see pics of the cabins. Book early!

Statute of limitations has expired on most of those. Got the "Aluminum/Cranberry" color. Mostly silver with a little red on the tank. Opposite of the 05 BA I had which was mostly red (mulberry) with silver.

There's a chance I could made it, depending on my work schedule. Any room at the Inn? I'm totally OK with "carpet sheets".

This one was 430 miles each way for me so "close" is relative

if you want to see the rally you have to be at the rally, that's one of the new rules we came up with while we were there. there's also an early exit fee now

That"s just GREAT! Another fee to pay. What's next, a SURCHARGE!?  Still, hard to believe with all you tec savvy addicts there aren't some pictures taken on your fancy pancy cell phones! Then again, if I make it next year I might not WANT any pictures either!
