I missed the good weather and good riding, but I'll be there Saturday. My stepson graduates Friday night. Andrew and I will be up Saturday, possibly with a friend from Charlotte who rides an old Moto Guzzi. (There sure are a lot of FJ's at Rockoff's Italian V-twin Rally.) We are trailering at least one bike, so that Andrew can bring Goose. (Maybe Andrew needs a bike with a sidecar.)


Bring zip-ties.

We're not a club. Clubs have rules. Pay dues. Wear hats and shit.

OH NO I don't get to see Andrew the new graduate! All ready to join the working people now?

I'm bummed you won't be there!

His step-brother graduates from high school tonight, Andrew graduated from college in December and started work in January. He had his choice of locations nation-wide, he picked Rome Georgia because it's close to the good motorcycle roads of the Fall Rally.

He just picked up an FZ1 to ride while he finishes sorting out the 916, I'm not sure if he's even filled the tank yet. I'm bringing the FJ because the 998 has the same fuel-line problem now that it had when Dave brought it to Tellico a couple years ago. We will be coming up with my college friend Bruce, who has an old Moto Guzzi. But no Stu this time, and no Paul this time, and no Rockoff Ducatis this time. Maybe in Tellico. ("There sure are a lot of FJs at Bill's Italian twin rally.")

Boone 2017 had the best weather yet, rode every day Tuesday thru Saturday with only a spritz of the wet stuff, not enough to even call rain.  Sunday was a bit of a wash out but most folks had left by then.

Sam is the young guy that was with me one night. I came to the rally to ride and sell his dad a beautiful low mile 87. He also has a 87 and took a few videos of the rally. It was great to finally meet a few of you, I had to leave a little earlier than I'd have liked but life gets in the way.

Hey Chris.  I have 15 yrs worth of pictures that all look about the same.. So I sort of quit taking them.  There are several on facebook, Henry, Dean etc. posted, but I don't recall ever seeing you on there now that I think of it.  I'm afraid you're going to have to come back down here and take your own.  :good2:

This is the only picture I took:
