Well in celebration of getting in and to start training I am going to do a run from Stlouis to Tampa and Back between this afternoon and home ny sunday night.

 
My name was drawn in the lottery, but I had to withdraw. My wife is pregnant with our first baby, and we're dur in July. I didn't think me departing on a 5 day rally, ending on the other side of the country, was the way to go. Lisa agreed!

But the Rally is not until August

I'm in and I've been a member here for 3 years but still riding a wing. Still considering the FJR but the wing still seems to get the job done.

Hi Perry,

The bike has been in to"meet" the electrical guru. He also is great at welding.

Looked at me, looked at the bike, shook his head in disbelief and said "You want what...when...?

That usually means it should be ready for August.

The RT is backup at this stage.

Hope everything gets done. On time.

PD (fingers crossed)

Peter...hope the FJR mods work out in time.

Let me know if there is anything that you may need. I have bits and pieces in the garage I could send to you in a pinch.

5 Weeks and a few day until we start heading for The Great state of Colorado. I think the bike is ready. Just need new tires and oil right before but all other maintenance is up to date. Didn't do as well in the Not Superman as I would have liked but thar was a good warm up. I will see you guys in Denver.
