My plans just took a turn for the worse. My trip to Nelson just got canceled. It just got too costly. With round trip tickets for two (whatever happened to the deals/discounts?), a H/D rental for four days, hotels, AND the Rat Raid tickets, well... It was too much for me. I really just wanted to see the BA members from the NW, not pay 2k for a two day bike show. I would just try to make the next NW Triumph Rally, but the cost wouldn't be much cheaper. I'm hoping I can ride out to the next SW Rally (GOTTA meet THAT DUDE! ) , and hope ya'll from the NW can make it down there. Peace!
