I'm thinkin' that photo would wind up as a front cover for the Concourier.

Me, I'm gonna go for the rat bike award, I have just the windshield to compete.

I figured you'd like the pic that you took and I stole from your collection.

Nice rat bike, I have no hope of topping that, so I guess I will install the Rifle that is on it's way.

The windshield has been replaced, I still have the old nasty one with the sticker. Onna these days, I'll put some heat to it and move it to the new one.

BTW, that photo was taken by Brian Snowberg (aka 2fast) at the Perkins in Forest Lake, MN. on our way to the VBR. The sophisticated re-engineer and repair held up well for the rest of the trip, which included going over Superior and on to Ottawa then dropping down to Floriduh.

Thanks my Brother, looking forward to seeing you guys again. Hopefully we won't have to work on anything major this time.
And don't threaten me with cold beer cause I will drink one, or two, or..........

I have volunteered to assist with the 2014 COG rally Newbie/Rookie First Time Attendees. Basically I will be helping first time rally attendees and being available to invite them on rides at the National, and inviting them to meet & greet sessions, and generally making sure that they are included in the National Rally experience. I have been the "newbie" before and know how intimidating it can be attending your first rally. I have started a thread on the COG forum asking for first timers to reply to with their contact info. Looking forward to meeting the new folks and hanging out with old friends again.
The cool thing about COG is the fact that I have only met some of these guys & gals once or twice, but I consider them family. And those of whom I speak know who you are.
