Great Time!
Another great Rally by Anders, Amy, et al.... The 30 sec starts rushed the starts, but made for some fun bike to bike racing. Just a very well run event.
PhotoMD, bike #129 black DR.

Just do it!
I've had an M72 (restored, too damn slow, but cool!) and a '98 650 Ural. The brakes were borderline unsafe fully loaded, but after sorting out the bike, it was rock solid. Like a fool, I sold it. One...
