#102452 Sometimes Hangared... But Always Aimed Out
... Especially with a great chance at the their raffle wheels to celebrate the 40th!
A 73' /5 restored through club effort, including special wrenching
by Dave Clark @ Forever Endeavor.
Seventy Three being my HS graduation year & forty being the age my wife still looks.... I'm feeling pretty lucky on this occasion!
And as part of good omen payback... I recommended ride'n buddy "wander'n" Dave (GPS broke 2011), upgrade to a late model, low mileage
K12LT that Club Dealer Gateway BMW had... and he traveled States away & brought'er home last week.
I'm also "bringing" him along for good luck (he's relearning GPS usage).
Problem is he asked me if I was purchasing 40 or 73 tickets? I'm thinking since it's a twin... 2, or maybe 5 for the slash five!
No others need participate, heavy rain & cold expected...?...
Will see you there;

... I reckon the fine print most likely prohibits MOA Staff, MOA Ambassadors, Gateway Club Members, and anyone less than age sixty OR over age sixty from the booty.
Therefore... odds are its mine!

weather looks to be great this weekend for the rally. Sure wish I could make it!

???.....you only live a few miles from Potosi. Unless there is a change of plans (wife factor) I will ride up there Saturday; nice drive on Hwy 8.

Perforated appendix has me off the bike for another month. Missed the Arkansas RA rally, Falling Leaf rally, and a fall colors ride up to Marquette and the UP. Worst time of the year to get laid off the bike, but there is always next year, hopefully.
 
I have an idea....

Where are the reports and pics:dunno

... a Gateway Club member, who I'm almost certain is a professional when it concerns photography ... was on site and using very nice equipment.
The lucky buck then won the Falling Leaf's Silver Anniversary Celebration 73' /5 BMW and promptly took a ride! Details & pic's to follow as the leaf's stop falling??

...no vintage bike yet

I'm surprised there is nothing on this site concerning the 2016 Falling Leaf Rally! I hope to see some discussion about the rally surface soon as I know it is scheduled to go on again this year. I believe it is set for the weekend of October 7 through 9th......
