      Yep, 1:00 EDT at the Mayberry Cafe in Danville, IN. Watch the time change if you're on Central time.

          would be great to see you Bob. But, if I were you, I'd just head west on 67 for a while and spend the next 4 days getting lost in the Mountains.

          I've never ridden out your way, but I bet it's motorcycle nirvana.

            I will be there is spirit. Looking forward to pics & stories. Have fun, all. Keep an eye on Dave (redman).

            June 16-17-18. Jedz, I, and maybe some others are going to have our own mini rally at a campground near the PA Grand Canyon.

              Greetings and salutations.

              Long time since I've attended the Brown County GS Rally, much less any GS Rally for that matter, and that unfortunately does not appear to be changing this year. Despite my desire to show up, I just have too much on my plate this time of year. However, I would like to extend the offer of assistance, if anyone passing through my area experiences trouble to/from Rally HQ. I'm about 140-miles from Bedford IN, in Southwest Ohio, Northwest of Cincinnati. I have a small basement workshop, tools, truck, trailer, some minor GS mechanical experience, and general motorcycle knowledge.

              If you're anywhere in Ohio or Eastward, you're likely passing through my turf.

              I'm not likely to come TO the wonderful town of Bedford to rescue you (I think you would have better options via those who are there), nor am I likely to transport you home to Pennsylvania, but.... I know the value of having contacts along the way, and I could potentially help you out of a jam depending on the situation. I also know that sometimes situations dictate a greater urgency for help, and there is nothing worse than being helpless, hopeless, with no fix in sight.

              I'm not a particularly social individual and the older I get, the more I value my privacy (get off my lawn!), however.... Brian/BWringer has my contact info, and if you know me from years/decades passed, the contact information you have for me is probably still valid. Ha!

                  Looks like a BUNCH of first-timers this year.

                  Would be nice to meet y'all.

                    Niiiiiiiice!

                    Ya know, I don't think we've had a visit from a Duck before. Darn near everthing else, and there were years where this happening was in danger of becoming a Triumph thing.

                    It'll be great to finally meet you, Rich!

                      Also, if I remember correctly. Jay likes cash over the "Big City" cards. I think it saves him money and hassle.

                        Morning all. The Bandit is packed and waiting on a phone call from Steve and Bonita. The GS is looking a bit sad and lonely; hopefully I'll get it running before the summer is out IF the shop will let me.

                                We had an unscheduled "tire repair 101 class" hosted by Greg. And he looks so very happy doing it!

                                When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!
