Maybe this guy in Maine can ship GZ to Tripps.  He needs to get the ball rolling!

Looks like I'll have my faring on for the Rally, thanks to Dave for welding my bracket today! ;D
Of course, that is if GZ ever gets to Michigan.

Hi Artee
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Detroit group again.
I've got a Cape Dory Typhoon in my garage that hasn't been in the water for 20+ years. May have to get on that one of these days.

I am watching, and should be ready to do some riding...the more notice I can get, the more riding I can do.  Dave, sorry I never answered your pm about how we are getting to Wisconsin.  Another quick and fun option might be the ferry ???...it's expensive though.

Tripps, if you get PZ and want to come toward Ohio, we can meet again like last year. If you want to go north, I'll meet with the Detroit crew and maybe ride a ways in MI.

Sure, I'll meet you halfway, it would be good to see you again. I'll even come on the Honda this time. The Rocket ate the transmission, that's going to be an expensive fix.

Sounds like PimpZilla will be here soon.  Has anyone in MI started planning the tour we'll be taking PZ on when he gets here?

No definite plans yet, but we are supposed to get him to Dennis/Old Scrambler so the pimp can go to Bonneville
