Ben;

Feet on rear pegs, belly on tank, you can ride for hours with no wind buffeting

BTW;

TARGET ACQUIRED

That technique might work except for my handlebars that would leave my arms hanging in the wind like ape hangers But I'm sure one of those Arrogant Bastards would erase all the pain...LOL

Well I had the bike out today and trying to get used to an 80 mph heawind and it'll prolly get tiring in the 1st 100 miles...but like you said a naked bike is cooler...literally as well as figuratively... It will be good to see other XJs'...so we'll be in good company.

[FSCGunslinger]

A naked bike looks cooler anyway! I'm riding up from WV on a naked Maxim. I think I should get some kind of award! LOL. That's gotta be some sort of record for distance on a naked bike (or maybe a "stupid distance rider" award? lol).

Max Attax

Alright folks just got back from Ontario yesterday Max is up and running although I did have some problems with dirt in the carbs...but all is well. So it looks like he'll be runnin' with the pack! Just pray for good weather...Max is a naked bike again so fighting the headwind will be interesting...heres a pic as some of you have been waiting to see what a fine job Jim did on him!

Just got back last night from CT/RI/Mass last night. Geez, now I have to cross NY again in a few days. See you all there!

Dspotter58,

What are your travel plans and route of march on Thursday. I may join you if that would be all right.

Darrell

Is anyone passing by WashDC Friday? If so I'd like to join up with you. Otherwise I may ride up to Delaware Thursday and overnight with my parents.

I see Dpotter58 is heading up Thursday, but it looks like his group is leaving earlier and going further.

Less than a week? Guess I should see if I can get my bike started.

Darrell

If you want to ride to Peekskill Thursday and stay oevr there, you would be welcome to do so.

[Big Daddy Funk]

Sorry

Not this year guys. But next year for sure. I'll bring the fully restored "Diva" to the rally. Phil you can book me into your room for that one. Everyone have a great time and bring back lots of pics and stories to rub my nose in. Thx Rick.

Is it time to go yet?

Not long now. Temps look really good I was not expecting so high. Still i will pack the rain suit as always and the warm layers too.
Lennart has decided not to come this year. He sends his regards to all. I am trying to get Big Daddy to ride along. We shall see

Hey, Russ! It works! Since you posted that bit of wisdom, the rain prediction for the 22nd dropped from 60% to 20%. I kid you not!

Glad I could be of assistance!
