              Its a pretty basic web page but it does provide a summary of rally details. JAT...is there a chance the XS11.com site could incorporate a web page (or more than one) for rallies? Or a page for links to other rally pages?

              I started doing this several years ago just to have a place to go to for info rather than to have to dig through pages of a thread. Mostly for my own use!

              Since I own my own domain I can put up pages for rallies or other events pretty easily. If anyone has an event, motorcycle or other, that could benefit from a web page let me know and we can whip something up.

              In this era of social media personal web pages are becoming "old school" but I still enjoy working with mine. Check out the Galleries page for photos of XS rallies going back to 2000. I have not made a rally every year since then (have missed 2 years) but have photos from 14 rallies and an Owner's Gallery that some of you might find interesting.

                especially now that I am a pensioner and get one check a month...the dates are never the same from one month to the next so it is a crap shoot as to when the greens are in the bank and matching it to rally dates...... WestSTOC in Grand Jct. looks to be a better fit...but that is not a statement of intent...just an observation at this point...

                    That it should be with several hundred folks there. Figure I'd at least run out to the motel and meet a few of them.
