Falling Leaf Rally

This is Roger Mansfield's R75/5 which is running nicely after all the effort he has put into saving it over the last few years

This is Rick and Dave from St.louis. We were poking around examining a wierd electrical issue on Rick's R100RS. One of the other Airheads, Tim from St.louis, found a brush hung up in it's guide on the alternator stator.

As you can see, the tent city is smaller than in past years, but I think everybody had a good rally, and there were no disasters that I know of .

Another fine rally! Great seeing all of our friends around the camp fire. Always good to see our Airhead buddies.
 
Camping was good,weather good, BMW branded folding chair for $10 wow what's not to like....Well this was my first time to the rally & I thought the bathroom areas sucked. Door falling off the mens john come on, doors missing inside, clean :scratch. Someone needs take care of those areas. Heck the porta potties were in better shape.:(
 
FLR is awesome. Could'nt ask for a friendlier group of people. That was the quietest fri/sat night :dunno
Enjoyed hanging out with the milers both nights. They pass food around the fire all night

Glad it stopped raining before time to pack up sun morning.

We agree but there is little we can do. The grounds are owned by the Potosi Lion's Club and they don't have much money. It's not likely they will bulldoze the bathrooms (what needs to happen) and build new ones. We as a club can't afford to do that for them.
 
Thanks everyone-had a great FLR again this year! I think I can safely say the /5 is officially a "rider" and the "major combat phase" is over. Especially since the James A. "tightness" decree!

Thanks to everyone out there that gave advice, assistance,info,etc. to get this one back on the road. I plan on keeping her for a long time. Looking forward to replacing the seals and all the little stuff so I won't have to mop up after every ride.

I've always loved that rally --although it's been known to be cold (like frosty). Nice friendly rally. Couldn't make it this year, hope to next time...

After riding the back roads all day I like to sit and relax by the tent. Listen to the boxers coming and going. Cant get enough of that!

Just took the battery out and drained oil from the /5 yesterday. Had a great time with it at FLR and so now have the enthusiasm to go forward with all seal replacements and to have her ready for next year. Thanks for posting the photos. This riding season went too fast (again).
