At the AVA International Rally

Post by HMB Don »

Well tomorrow the rally begins. Already about 70 attendees are here at rally HQ. The parking lot is full of motorcycles and the banners are hung. When I walked out of the hotel lobby there we groups every where talking motorcycle talk.

Kurt, I think he's playing with us to punish us for not being there! Cruel and unusual punishment!

OK, Bill, you have me stumped. How the hell is your bike staying up-right? I see no side stand nor a center stand extended! I understand how the other bike stays up-right, but did yours take lessons from it?

Follow up: Ah! I see now! That picture is a reversal! Your antenna is the dead giveaway! It's on the wrong side, unless you're like me and have two!
