    If you guys are serious about getting younger people out to these events, you need to have more events where you work on the bikes prior to this one or make that part of the event. Not too many masters of XSology in the millennial generation. You want more people out there? You guys need to teach us how to fix these things and keep them running, seriously (including myself).
    To be honest with you, this rally has morphed into a group of people who seem to enjoy each others company and get together to ride, eat, drink, repeat. We are all former or current XS owners and would love to see more people attend the rally. No, we don't do second gear fixes in the parking lot, but what we offer is a planned tour of some great roads with gas, eats, and sightseeing spot all planned out for you. I would think that that would appeal to most people including millenials. All you have to do is show up and enjoy all the hard work that the hosts have done in advance. These kind of tours can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars elsewhere. I'll continue to plan my Memorial Day weekend around this rally until I'm the only one there!

          Anyone need a roommate at this point? Gotta share a room or likely won't make it.
          or
          could bring my camping stuff, as it is a state park. But that would mean a couple miles between the tent and party central.

                About a week to go before I submit the order. Let me know if you're even thinking of ordering a t shirt.

                    Hi Darrel,
                    Thinking about it
                    Looking for a sponsor for more than just a T shirt
