This coming Thursday (May 2nd) is the next "First Thursday" rally; if you haven't attended one of these rallies, then nows as good of a time as any. Its a hoot of a time, starts at about 5 pm and goes til 9 pm. The pizza is very affordable, with brats and dogs available too. The people and motorcycle watching is totally fun. Everything under the sun will show up. You might get lucky and watch some over-eager rider drop his bike in front of 1000 people or perhaps a cloud of tire smoke appear from someone with a large ego...its a good time.

In an attempt to get the Tenere's to make a solidified showing, how about parking on the Northeast Corner of Lake and Garfield, if possible. Always fun to see other Tenere's rally together. Of course, parking is a crap-shoot, so good luck. Hope to see strong numbers this month; In April I saw only 3 of us...

Bring your camera, too.

Here's a link for directions:

RC I missed the 1st one and just mailed my seats off yesterday my build day is the 3rd so it looks I wont be riding the s10 for the next oner either. Could maybe ride the Harley would it be ok to park next to ya? My friend and his son were at the 1st one and got some great video of Marv leaving on his Boss Hoss its on you tube, that is one bad ass machine the ground trembles when he lets that thing go.

hmmm, a stalker eh? Looking at that pic I guess it's time for a new helmet and leave the blue one on the FJR, which by the way is the only fast blue bike! I missed ya somehow. I rode to work so I ran straight down from Shoreview, musta got there 5:30 or so, maybe a bit sooner. Was leaving at dusk. I didn't see yours.

After I took a lap or 4 I scored a good spot on Delono's corner of Lake and Garfield, holding up the sign post watching the show. Barnum and Baileys aint got nuttin on that!

See the WWII Harley out about 10 foot from their door? Unmolested, unrestored, complete and ridden in. Don't get much better.

I saw 2 black ones. Mine, parked in the same lot on the NE corner. Just before I left, some time before 7:00 I saw a Fast Black one southbound on Garfield. He or She was past before I could holler and or wave.

I did run into the owner of the RZ 500 and got him to fire it up for me and blow oily smoke all over me. GAWD what music!
