I will be there or very sick or dead. I would send my ashes to be dispersed but Yoda would flush them down the toilet...loved seeing Ken, Mellow, two Jims, Darren, Mike, and even Yoda....
 
With this talk of flushing ashes I'm a little apprehensive to join in, but I'm penciling these dates in the calender. I have made a container for my ashes, whenever that day arrives, so please don't flush or porta potty mine if I don't make it in June.

Maybe we can get a Utah contingent to motor over together. Lots-a-time to plan.
 
It will be good to see some new faces. Oh, and the old surviving faces too. Too many of us have graduated to the “high risk” classification. I’m 82 and not even the oldest usual attendee.

Since my wife didn’t buy a new horse I probably won’t be on a new motorcycle. But like Coyote Chris I’m on the “spend it before I die” plan. So if something begs me to buy it I might just do that. (buy that is)

Sad day today. I put stabilizer in the gas and replaced the battery with rodent repellent and put the motorcycle to storage for the winter. Sure enough, 4 hours later it was snowing. So for all you folks who can ride through the winter - enjoy and appreciate it. You won’t see me until May. I know what’s coming next - don’t say it Mike!
 
Hmm, snow? After moving out of the mountains, we are enjoying temps in the 70’s here in the Albuquerque area. I just may have to go ride tomorrow.
 
Wish I could attend this coming year but unless a miracle happens I will be here caregiving to the wife. As a side note, yesterday was 80 degrees for a high and I was able to get out on the FJR for a couple of hours. Was a beautiful ride through my favorite foothill roads.

Me too ... except I do not see a new/another bike .. except maybe a Grom for the RV.
The bikes are asleep for the Winter. I am driving to FL this year after Mexico cruise with Chris. We are going to see if that only 15 drinks a day is a real thing. Then road trip from Spokane to central FL.
I will see you all at the rally!

How about an open container strapped to the rear cargo rack and a spirited ride down Spearfish Canyon Highway?
Probably wouldn't want to be leading that one. 🤔
 
I sure would like to make it out to one of these. Mellow still owes me a campsite for suggesting Chris' Campground :D;) Maybe I could rally Fieroguy and a few others from the east side to make the journey. Seriously debating it 🤔🤔. Need some more miles on the NT anyway since I just made it to 107,000. Haven't seen some of y'all since the TNT rally. Hope this winter is kind to each of you.
