It is a pretty cool ride. I think last year there was well over 1000 bikes. Tons of really cool ones but during the ride I got stuck behind big momma on her big HD. Not a clue how to turn a corner properly. SCARY!!!

It probably would not be too long of a ride for you. Starts in East Bethel, MN.

Might get to ride tomorrow!!!!!

With all the mods I have done this winter I finally put the dash back on yesterday. Gettin all excited to go for a ride, too sloppy today though. I did start it a couple of weeks ago, just checking out everything. I happened to look on my garage shelf and there sat my side cover with the R/R still attached to it. I found out that you can run a bike for a time without the R/R. Opppppsssss!!!

Don't know if you are aware of this mod J.D, easy off for your saddle bags. I did it recently and so far so good.
