I'm all for that. 4 lane on my CRF is not exactly in my comfort zone.

[Don Q]

will I be put in the expert class for adding auxilary fuel? have to mount a 12v battery for the GPS. not worried about the no I-80 rule. With a head wind , I wont make minimum legal speed. right now it looks like a Bonzia from Milwaukee to the DS friday night.

[Lapchik]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was no expert/experienced classes, only under 650 or 650 and up.

[Don Q]

just seeing if anyone was paying attention.

[Lapchik]

There may still be debris up there from childhood . . . .but I do catch on sometimes

[Frump]

Propforward - one way to sell the KLR650 would be ride it in the DS Adv Rally. We could take photos of it and you can prove it's capabilities.

Would like to see more people sign up. Come on everyone, we are promising a pie stop, beautiful vistas, pleasant and not-so-pleasant country roads and trails, and some unique challenges. As a bonus we are throwing in a mix of Shooter's quiet, Blinky's care-free, and Frump's overly-positive personalities for free. You will get to see the Loess Hills in way most people never get to. Plus we promise it will stop raining by then.

I'm 87.5% in for this.
I should know for sure next week.

[Farmer]

Can a last minute rider sign in Fri night or Sat AM ?

I am soaked here and need to get my beans sprayed. If it dries up enough for that I know what I'll be doing.

Maybe even Get there midday Saturday and do phase 2.

[Shooter]

Yes farmer you can show up whenever!!!!!!

[Farmer]

Thanks Shooter,

That's a pretty big assumption.

Not a bad idea though.

Had hoped to but you guy's shot me down by not letting me use my back-up DS...the Intruder and I'm hoping to have the WR back in the next few days but I won't have time to break it in before then

If I make it maybe I should bring a saw

I definitely cannot make the DS rally. In order to do the Mn 1K this weekend, I have had to promise to work next saturday. Just the way it goes sometimes.

Sorry chaps, you guys have a lot of fun.

I think you have your priorities out of order.

1. Motorcycles
2. Food
3. Job

[propforward]

Yah, they all kinda feed each other. Bit of a busy time at the mo, I am bouncing around working weekends, sometimes I am supposed to, then I don't have to. Then I have to at short notice.Kind of nuts, but it pays for the gasoline to put in 'em.

[Shooter]

The rally is officially one week away!!!!!!!!!!! We have 6 confirmed and a few others debating for whatever reasons. We have some real interesting places to have the riders test their on and off road skills (hence forth no intruder ). With that said I am waiting to here from Cruzin on using my KLR.... if he does not any other riders are more than welcome to borrow it for the day.....first come first serve. Cruzin I hope your thinking real hard about it....I'm making my beans. And I'll be my normal quiet? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I will be home all day Friday so whenever people want to show up we can get you settled in, have a drink, eat some food, and sit by the fire. If you don't plan on bringing your house like LSGiant and don't want to tent it you can throw sleeping bags in the family room in our basement.

Can't wait to see everyone. This is the first time the GLMC has done a true DS rally and I'm super excited. Those not coming will wish you did but don't worry we will take a lot of pics and the riders will surely tell you about their experience.
