WOW, whoda thunk it! :shocked: :grin: :evil:

That would be fun!

After following a bit of the "Spring preload" thread and thinking of related past threads concerning suspension settings....this could be a a good rally activity as it is difficult to measure sag, etc. by oneself plus there will probably be some very knowledgable folk there to assist us dummies.

Make sure the "Dusty Stickers" are not self-adhesive.  You need black duct tape to stick them.   Sold separately.

I'd be happy to add anyone who wants to join the Skype video conference.

If you are interested, please shoot me a PM with your Skype name (can be your actual Skype contact or you can make one up specifically for the rally) and I can add you to my contact list.

We'll work on the time slot to get the conference with JJ and the Arizona boys and anyone else around the world...shoot, we could have a "Follow the Sun" strategy and have people on every continent as well!

You can count me in. The wife is unsure at this point. Is there enough electricity to plug our trailer in?
Would I need to reserve a spot for the trailer?  7x14 enclosed cargo trailer, that once the bikes are deployed, becomes her house.

 Plenty of electricity Chris , and unless we get more than 15 trailers you shouldn't need a reservation. Looking forward to meeting you .

A live, video, SKYPE call from two different states, both staging a Guzzi N.A.R. during the same weekend!!  :thumb: :cool: :1:

Thanks JJ...message received and reply sent...we should be connected now via Skype.

Dusty...I'll bring the GoPro as well...have never really developed good editing skills (I might have to call Lucydad one day and have him edit it for me!  :) )...but I can capture some good footage...although it might be a few weeks after returning to get it all edited and uploaded, or I can just meld a bunch of Iphone videos together.

Anyway...start working your weather magic and stay away from the rain dances for a while!  :)

Hi Paul - Received and noted - Thanks! :thumb: :cool: 

Last Aug. at Datil, NM, some Guzzisti had a drone and took a cool video of the entire campground from above.  It was interesting and cool. 

We should have fun with the SKYPE call. :wink: Something new and different anyway. :cool:  Looking forward to warmer weather in northern AZ.   Cold and rainy here all weekend, maybe even SNOW!! :shocked: :rolleyes:  Take care and talk soon!

Drones in the air...drones on the ground!  Jokers to the left, clowns to the right!  A drone sounds like a blast!  Enjoy winter....it's been 65-70 and blue skies this past weekend and the forecast is for more of the same!   

I'm going to experiment with bringing my portable projector as well so I can flash up the crew on a wide screen format...I guess the folks in Cottonwood will have to be huddled around a laptop unless one of you guys also has a projector.

Speaking of Datil...just a couple of months ago, we drove thru, got some pie at Pietown on the last day of the season!  Scrumptiously delicious as always, just like all other pilgrimages to the Pie Capital! 

Cheers!
