We are VERY careful about that around here. Someone may get the idea that you were stealing it and that could get you shot!!

[BA80]

Careful you don't get too excited and start hiding the beer....

I'll take care of that for them when I get there.

7 days and counting.....

If anyone else is coming from the cities and would like to meet up and ride down around that time let me know.

Cheers!

Tod and I will be leaving Tulsa about 5 this afternoon for KC and stay at Harry's overnight. The three of us will head out to Cedar Rapids thursday morning.

See you at Bobs that afternoon Brent. Bob says we're having fish for supper if I read his email correctly.

I would love to ride but I just got my bike going and I dont trust it enough to ride that far.

[Dragon Tamer]

Stepka,
It is not that far, get it down to us and we will give you all the help you need to make it better. There will be some of the best XS11 wrenchers you will ever meet there. Not to speak of the best fun you can have at any rally!!!!

[mrdigitech]

Yes Stepka, its not too far and you could have 2 others riding with you in case any issues come up. Myself and possibly another may meet up and ride down tomorrow after work.

Then you could see what that fairing looks like on my mix match of a bike. I think it was you who sold it to me?... full tour package white with hand painted striping...

Cheers!!

No I didn't sell a tour package... I posted one I found of craigslist though.

Oh man, was hoping things could work Matt. We'll have some extra cheese curds in your honor ............right after we get LOST!!

[exquized1]

On my way home from Dixon tonight I spotted a 80 or 81 Xs11 special in the small town of Wousang. Turned around for a better look! It was sharp! Very well kept with the Spaghetti pipes. Talked to the guy (Jason) who just brought it home from his dad. Found out he lives in Polo just on the other side of town. Gave him info to this site so maybe by spring next year when I'm ready to host again we could ride. Oh man I'm going to to miss out on cheese curds! Maybe I could talk someone into bringing some down on there way home! LOL maybe I'm dreaming now. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Take a lot of pictures for me.

Great ride today, everyone back safe.

Some pics of another great Lost in MN rally.

We started off Friday night with the usual banter until Strabo showed up in disguise. Perhaps he looks better this way????



The evening was filled with food and refreshments and talk about the next day’s ride to Yellowstone Cheese factory near Cadot Wisconsin. And YES Tod the Lost in MN rally was run through Wisconsin this year. They have softer grass over there. Really glad your OK.



Half hour into the ride we got lost, no, correction, STRABO got lost. It ‘s hard to imagine how one person in the middle of a group of 13 riders could get separated but it happened. Thankfully Harry decided to count bikes and we ended up one short. We now fulfilled the purpose of Lost in MN rally even though we were in Wisconsin Tod. A search party was sent out to find him while the others took a break for refreshments.
