2. Bobs tech day in April is a pot party? (read it again, and yes that's my first attempt at humor in 2024)

Mark I said the same thing five years ago - I was looking at the new Honda 750 ADV bike yesterday LOL - not yet but maybe in the future.......

Re: east coast, over near Boston, then down to VA Beach, then back up to Marietta for SEOR. But, leaving North MI in April is high risk of freezing my parts off. So that one's maybe flexible. There's 50/50 chance of seeing snow in May up here, so I'm staying fluid on that one. Either way, i'd plan to be down in Marietta for SEOR.

Hopefully, in early July, heading west across us2 , then 20 over/up to Mt Baker. I went across 90 to west coast WA / OR / CA back in '18, and would like to see the mtns in norther roads. Going to the sun road is possible (big possible) on my list, though all across up there looks pretty scenic. I have a buddy that may go along and see his brother in Vancouver, but that's still 'not sure'. Heading back through SD, as that's one state i don't have yet.

EOM is always on my list, so that's a go.

May 9 - Brian (FESTAR) arrives - 11 May head for Toter's Tech day via Joey's, then back to Spearfish via Cav's, home a day or two before heading to Pterodactyl's, then up to see friends in MT before heading into BC to see Dave and Sylvia, back down into Washington stopping to see several FJR folks and on to the BMW Rally at Redmond OR June 13-15, then home to run the Black Hills Rendezvous 20-23 June. 24 June - 1 July Rockies. 2 July FESTAR flies home. TBD AUG/SEP Canadian Maritimes with CollinsBob and Razerman?
