Hi Ralph,
I doubt I'll be able to get the time off, but I'll try.
I definitely will be there in July though.

As many of you know I am helping Bruce with this rally. Since the XS11 was made in Japan, we will be using the following Japanese road rules for this ride, they have been translated to English for your ease of reading:
1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.
2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn, trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage, tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.
3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by.
4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport
in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.
5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon!
6. Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.Gary Granger

You know, when I bought my XS there was a tootel in the tool bag, and I always wondered what it was for. I'm pretty sure I can do it with vigor, but I am not sure I can do it melodiously...
Gotta love those Japanese translations.Marty in NW PA

Thanks!
