I've had my tickets for a bit. Joined the MOA just to make the price reasonable. I will be there with my wife and her dad. Some of you have met my wife at Ken's in Oklahoma. Others met my FIL at the rally in Hamburg. He got the oldest rider award in Hamburg and in Billings. He'll probably be riding his '75 R90/6. At 93, the R1100RT was getting too heavy to hold up at stop lights and at low speed/traffic.

Well, the Rally is now in the history books and my FIL has added a 3rd MOA Oldest Rider Award to his collection. He's already talking about next years event in Lebanon, TN. That's just east of Nashville if you are interested. Got to see lots of bikes and gear and I managed to snag a door prize, set of Rok Straps. Didn't see Veg or anyone else I knew, but with over 4K people it happens. I was surprised to meet 2 Boxerworks people in Hamburg. Didn't see anyone I knew in Billings. May have to plan ahead on a meeting place in Lebanon. Beer tent at 14:00 or something. Later.

Only BW person I ran into was Curt Henry, but I saw tons of MOA people I know. And I rode 900 miles up from Atlanta only to discover a new musical talent from Atlanta on the entertainment bill!
Lots and lots of fun!
