And it was great to meet you, sorry we didn't get more time to catch up!
Nice to meet you, Curt.. and Miz Vintage Hoarder, too.  :smiley: With any luck at all, maybe we can catch up next rally season. When Brad and Nora were leaving this morning, he said, "It's kind of sad. The last rally of the season.."

  A great big THANKS to everyone attending our rally! People that has never been to a MG rally just can not understand the joy and camaraderie. Like an extended family( that side of the family you actually enjoy being around :grin:). Hope everyone had a safe and fun ride home.    JohnB

Happy to help. I couldn't be there, but wanted to help Austin make it. Glad he did and enjoyed himself.
I had a lot of fun there and met so many great and new people. Charlies help extended beyond just for me, it gave me some new and valuable information about my bike and others, a guy with an 850 T was having starting issues and I was able to walk through the things Charlie did with me the day before and got it going. I got the G5's brakes done on Wed/Thur, I had to rebuild the master cylinder, clean out the front left caliper and clean out a clogged line to the front left brake. After that, I went and sprayed Dioxide on as many connectors as I could and cleaned the frame ground wire. The bike handled great all weekend with minimal issues after I left Friday, I put close to 500 miles on it and have a pretty good idea on the things I'd like to change and need to work on. FIRST is the SEAT! that thing hurts, it is so soft I could feel the ribs in the seat bucket. Second is I think I'd like to look to trade the floorboards for the pegs then there are other small things like a valve cover gasket that has a leak.  But Kentucky is for sure going to be one of the rallies I have to go to each year from now on.

I took several pictures as well and I'll post those.

Glad I was able to make it and meet everyone, my family was asking about it and that's exactly how I keep describing it just like a big family gathering but one where everyone gets along haha. can't wait to go back to KY next year and to experience others too! Thanks again for all the hospitality.
