I may be a bit late so start without me. I'll try to catch up.

And happy new year guys!

I'm up for it. Where do you want to meet? Tom

Hope you heal over the winter Yooper. Tom and Terry

Stunning!

That's terrible. Memo to self, stay back far enough to have time to react to anything falling out of the vehicle in front of me. It normally happens so fast, you have no time to react or dodge. Can't say I do this all the time but I try too.

My bike was backfiring quite a bit at Lake Gunterville and someone kindly left a bottle of seafoam on my bike seat the last day of the rally. Thank you, you are very kind but I needed new exhaust gaskets so I brought the can to Pork in the Pines and the can of seafoam has now found a new home. Thanks again,

Yep

Thanks Bill, your very kind. I'm not that good without my backup singers!

Ride save and stay dry... Hope to be there tomorrow afternoon as well. Tom

Hey, I won one at the IR this year. It was a quick painless install and looks fantastic! What a great addition to the bike. Thanks Steve! Tom:canada:

I'll wait until the 2nd gen. comes out.

OK, so how come it doesn't fall down? Hmmm...

My exhaust gaskets need replacing as I have the same problem. These are the gaskets directly under the seat.

And Manitoba. And, Go bombers go...

Hope you start feeling better Puc.

Very Cool!

The only thing I can think of is malwarebites. I am not sure if you have to pay or not as I haven't used it in a long while. Hope this helps

Chatter is good and lots of ideas can and will spring up and yes, once the locaton is picked, we all go into hibernation until spring but I think one important timeline is hotel and camping reservations. I think blocking off rooms and campsites needs to be done well before the event. Hey Puc, I live in Winnipeg which is roughly the geographical center of North America. Actually the center is Rugby ND. The area is very flat. I call it the land of right angles. And I am not able to volunteer putting an event on, no time, but can help if needed. My wife and I were in the black hills just before the Fort Collins rally and didn't find it congested. It was in July, I can't remember the date. The big bike pubs were either not open or skeleton staffed. We went back to the black hills just after the Hub rally and actually found it to be a very good time. We pulled in at the end of bike week, Sunday evening and passed tons of riders and trailer queens leaving the area. Lots of room on the roads, we had our pick of campgrounds. Big savings at the Sturgis street vendors. I liked the Hub, mostly because the hotelers and campers were right beside each other and we didn't have to worry about "riding" back to the room or campsite after drinks. This year we had a shuttle for this. A place that had this feature would be great. I understand and appreciate the amount of effort and planing that goes into these events. Just adding my 2 cents. Tom

Yes, will pm.

What he said. Glad, your OK. Bikes can be fixed or replaced.

Lookin' good!

Great trip, glad you guys made it home safe. Enjoy the grand baby!

I have found some success with Startron from Starbrite. If I understand correctly, it does the same thing as seafoam but contains an enzyme which consumes the gunk. It is hard to find. I found in Wall-mart at the outboard motor or lawn motor section. It comes in a blue bottle.
