Whoooo HOOOOOOO

Tom, Thanks for posting this.

Yes, come one, come all!!

Here's the sales pitch:

The 2007 Pacific Northwest GS Adventure Rally is a little under a week away. We still have space available for people who want to come out for the rally. All the spaces for Jimmy Lewis's clinics are taken, but we are now also offering two free novice GS clinics.

For entertainment, we'll have Jimmy Lewis doing a presentation on riding the Dakar for the BMW factory team. We'll also have Mike Paull of Globeriders giving one of his fascinating presentations about world travel.

We are proud to welcome URal Russian motorcycles as sponsors. URal will be there Friday through Sunday with 2 of their 2 wheel drive sidecar rigs available for demo rides.

We'll have a tire plugging and repair seminar courtesy of BestRest. Touratech USA will be putting on a GPS seminar, and Mike Paull will be giving a presentation on packing and prepping for adventure touring.

Last year we gave away an Arai XD, a Garmin 376C, a pair of TKC-80's, Cycle pumps, and lots of other great gear. This year we have a full Kilimanjaro riding suit from First Gear. Rok-Straps, waterproofing from Nik-Wax, Cycle Pumps, a Toutatech USA gift certificate and other great prizes.

For meals, we are going to have a whole roast hog on Friday night, the Raymond Firefighters are back on Saturday with their salmon barbeque. We'll also have an oyster bar, and we'll be pouring Manny's at a amazing low price per cup.

And of course, we'll have some great rides mapped out. We've been out scouting routes in the area.

The cost per person for the four day event is $135.00. If you can only make it out Friday through Sunday, we've added a 3 day option for $100.00. Remember, once you've signed up, all you need is your camping gear, gas money, and some pocket change for "adult" beverages. We've got everything else covered!!!

So, go to our website, www.pnwgsrally.com and sign up!

We look forward to seeing you in Menlo.
