I'm still pondering whether to go to the noreast rally. I only live about 3.5 hrs from there, but I'm afraid someone will mention George Bush, or god forbid, Harley Davidson, and then someone will hijack the whole weekend, and there will be no talk of motorcycles and no time to ride. Does anyone leave thir attitudes at home, or does the political BS take over? I'd love to ride and talk Triumphs for a few days but I hate it when people mix booze and politics. I know this doesn't pertain to everyone but jeez it gets "heavy" at times, Well times getting short, so I guess i'll have to makeup my mind soon.
Stone, I have been to many rallies with the folks here and NEVER has politics or religion been spoken of. It's taboo, we're there to ride, drink and tell lies. OK, OFFICIAL RULE at Pat's house! I don't want to hear anyone's opinion on anything political or religious! There, it's official, now pack the bags and haul your hairy butt down here for the weekend.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Cool, if my wife comes I'll probably trailer my bike, I know, I know, but my bikes not set up with bags and my wife is a little more high maintenance than i am Then I can throw in a guitar or two. Just to clear this up, I don't normally trailer my bike, I had the triler BEFORE I had my bike.
I have no problem with putting my bike on a trailer. Going to see the cousin in South Carolina, take the bike. Going to Oklahoma, take the bike. Going to a conference on the west coast of Florida, take the bike. What would you rather do, if you are going some place, would you rather kiss the photo of your bike in the garage good night, or pat her on the gas tank at the end of the day and say thanks for showing me those new roads. When I travel can I pack all the gear I need on the bike, most of the time....no. can I pack the gear in my truck and take my bike....yes. Beside my doctors says its OK and I have a prescription to trailer my bike/ Mark
I hope you at least put it in an enclosed trailer so it doesn’t suffer the indignity of being SEEN being trailered
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
