Turkey Roost 2008...I'm there! Hey Kenny... PM me your mailing address. TKS.
I don't think of it as a rally..More of a meet and greet or get together type event. EEerrr you might think about the suggestion I had about making it a Tech session too, Maybe something like a valve adjustment tech session, let the bikes cool overnight..get up in the morning and all the 1800s get in one area and the 1300's  in another and do valve adjustments. I think it would boost participation also, as people could come camp, have fun, get guidance in doing their valve adjustments, and pay for their gas, get to know their bikes better, AND STILL SAVE money over a dealer valve adjustment. Just a thought.

Darn good thought.  It would be much more entertaining if the bike surgery started after the beer/whisky had flowed a bit.  Make Hick's finger filet look like a hang-nail.

Hmmm, you can watch the fun Pete,  ;D since you don't have to adjust valves anymore, LOL. That is one thing I miss about my last bike over this one. Valve adjustments once or twice a year isn't fun. sheesh.

There are a couple of threads on last years Spring thing, this is from the pic thread, just to show some of the stuff if you don't delve too deep in the archives....
HEY Snake!!!Where's your pics?   ;)
Well... I finally got around to it.
For those that didn't come, we had our very own fenced in campsite area, with a circle drive, bathrooms, showers. Inside the loop ( not the one you're thinking of Swampy...) a huge pavillion with tables for eighty, BBQ grilles, horseshoe pitching area with poles and backstops, volleyball area with net, lights, campfire area. At least two acres or better. Reeaall nice! ;D
This pic is from along the back side of the "loop":



And another from my campsite area:



This is a long distance shot of some of our group going outon a ride:



We had some salty characters running around the campsite:



Or, in hindsight, were they plotting something? HHHHmmmmmm.
On a ride, I caught RD "casing" a spot for a "crime" to happen, not sure if the crime would be against nature or what...



Notice his "partner in crime" helping him...



And, you gotta wonder if the sign isn't a prophecy of things to come...



all of this just so RD could plot this years attempt to retain the award he recieved from last years ride...





And, that dam Dusty, wellll, one picture says it all. ;D



Well, he got an earful, but it was a fish  comin' out of it..... :o



All in all, the best campin' and camraderie (no, thats NOT another word for brokeback)
I've had in a long time. I even spent a half a day making improvements to my bike...  but...thats another story! :-X

Well, I should have said TRYing to make improvements! LOL
