    That looks real nice! I like the red embellishments. Are those stock shocks? I can't tell if it's just a sticker on them.

    We can always use a few more. It would also be good to get a few more not so vintage riders on vintage bikes.

    I had purchased new gold tank logos, as the old ones were really toast. So for giggles, I tried painting the Yamaha Logo bright red and put them on the tank. I liked it so much, I took all the original gold logos and painted them red. Then I added a little red pin striping. (I have a spare set of everything, so I can always go back to gold) - but I really like the black and red combo.

    My wife is not joining me this year. I have a room with a private bath. If someone wants it, please call the Iron Horse (828-479-3864) and tell them you want a private room. Then let me know and I'll relinquish it. If it doesn't happen soon enough, I'll shift gears and find someone to share it with.

    Make plans to go, you won't regret it.

    For anyone in the Raleigh NC area who wants to go I have an extra spot in my trailer for a bike and your gear.

    XJ Friends,
    There are a few weeks left and I understand a couple private rooms, bunk house space, and camping spots are still open. If you're in the SE this is the event to attend!
