RandallIsland Makes History.
Pictured here is RandallIsland confering with Boxergrrlie, Miss Adventure, in New Glarus. This Gotham to Glarus is a first for "Rally" to "Rally" Conference Calling.
Hope the Forum will see more of this kind of communication expanding the MOA personal contacts before the family gathering in Wisconsin.

The vintage display looks fantastic!
I've been wanting to see a picture of the Victory, thanks for posting it. I don't know if I like it - from pictures I would say 'no' but I will withhold forming an opinion until I see one in person.
The new Connie looks great though. It will be interesting to see how it does in the market.

What a great day!
my first big cycle show, impressive displays not only from the big names in motorcycling, but also from the finest in etched crystal, pewter dragons,wolf t-shirts and skull necklaces
the display from bmw was great, all the new bikes were there and i was even able to talk to Nate Kern for a bit. i also enjoyed the offerings from ducati, mv augusta and even ural had a neat setup, mostly involving wooden crates.
(i apologize for the small size, didn't realize the camera was set that way)
Breeze looks like he's ready to roll:
Tessler trying a cruiser from korea on for size:
A representative of the mass state police was in attendance:
MV Augusta had a great display of their vintage bikes, pretty boxy 750 America w/brown suede seat:
trouble locating your exhaust, when all else fails just stick them anywhere (79 2 stroke something or other):
After the show we went over to dinner in chelsea. i got an excellent steak, although it seemed pots of rice and seafood were the preferred meal selection of most. i really wish i liked seafood, some of it looks so tasty. I'll stop talking about the food, i didn't take any pictures of it and that's just mean. Paul, our unofficial leader for the gig, took some time to present swag before the conclusion of dinner as red rider looks on:
Some headed home after dinner, some of us continued the evening's festivities. Vince and Ray from the MOA office came by and joined us in the revelry which continued on till 10 o'clock or so at which point i headed south to the east village to meet up with some friends. i fell asleep at 7:12 this morning on a hardwood floor
Great day, met a bunch of new people and saw friends and riding buddies i hadn't seen in quite some time, this should definitely become an annual event
also,
did you find my lighter vince

This is some of the finest writing I've read here in quite some time.
Nicely done, sir and I thank you.

Minding The Store
Which store? The MOA booth of course. Several members faithfully minded the MOA booth and secured new members. New members who signed up at the showed received a vintage tee shirt soon to become a collectors' item - the black 2004 Spokane shirt.
The MOA made donations of the shirt and an anonymnous book for the Awards Dinner. Ambassador and Board Member Friedle donated some collector reflective, one of a kind, stickers. RandallIsland won those at the Awards Dinner. Meanwhile Ambassador Ascher watched over all proceedings.

Hey I lost you guys somewhere. Looks like a great time was had by all. And no one was involuntarily detained..
Great meeting all you guys..
Great meeting all you guys..
Big Gig
Think BMW LT after a tab of the brown acid.
It has all those loose, runny, droopy lines everywhere you look. The trees melting into the pavement look. I predict they will sell lots of them.

just walked in my door from Big Gig day 2, back for day 3 at 0830

Whew, you've escaped.....
Terham,
We've called off the search. Red Rider and I covered the ground at the Javits Center grid by grid trying to locate you along with several of our wayward "comrades in moto." We feared that you had been taken by some of the dudes in the bandanna, chaps and skull rings clan and held for ransom.
Thanks for your tremendous efforts in getting to O'Farrell's and the Show (2 1/2 hours just to get to the train is above and beyond the call.)
As you can see, a fun time was had by all , albeit hazy in some instances ("No officer, I was not urinating on that H-D, I was merely washing it down with a mildly acidic cleaning solution using a portable low pressure device that I keep with me at all times for such instances")
Paul and Statdawg had the SWAG covered and Tessler aced the restaurant choice. I haven't tasted authentic Sangria since running the bulls in Pamplona. We retired to a Westside watering hole for continued good cheer and a requisite "interesting experience" (that's all I'm saying on this).
I propose another "Comrades in Moto" event soon. We don't need an excuse although bail money is recommended.

Made for Americade
It looks like the perfect Americade ride competing with the Road Kings and other Light Trucks. Drop one of those and you will
-have a bad Vision
-have to call a tow truck to right it. Even Skert might not be able to get it back on two wheels.
-will need a loan from The World Bank for repairs.
On the plus side
-it is made in America
