    Ok so it's almost 6am Friday morning and I'm outta here.... No work, no mrs, no kids... Oh the freedom lol

    The Rally site is about 5 hours ride away.

    We're taking an IT750 with us (IT490 with a KZ750 motor). We have 4 burnout tyres and a dirt tire and chain for the hill climb. This thing is INSANE :)

    I'll post some picks in 3 or 4 days when I return :)

    Hey Alive! That's a lot of luggage on a 900!! All that extra cargo and horsepower didn't cause the quake, did it? :D
