Hi Jim! 

A group of us are coming down to this annual event at GO-AZ Scottsdale, on Sat. Nov. 18th.

Hope to see you then! :thumb: :boozing: :cool: :smiley:

Yep!  And I'm gonna enter Big Red-not that I expect to win-she's a rider and only somewhat of a looker-but I like the prefered parking entered motorcycles get.
See you then.
