| Sounds good. I'm pretty sure I'll be there. If it's cold I'll be plugged in. |

| So where is the meeting place after coming across the Smith Ave bridge? I am fairly directionally challenged so assume if a wrong turn can be made I'll make it. |

The easiest would probably be to drive down 7th to Mississippi River Blvd where you turn north, the lot is about 3 minutes up on the left. |

No offense, but you minneapolitains shouldn't be giving directions around the old Saint P. For one, West 7th doesn't directly intersect Mississippi river boulevard- you have to turn south onto davern, and then turn a left on Shepard, which then crosses 7th and BECOMES Mississippi River Boulevard. It's also hella out of the way.
Taking 7th past Davern dumps you right onto 5 on the way to the airport, which isn't much place for scooters.
Coming across The Smith Avenue Bridge (AKA The high bridge), you'd simply continue straight on Smith to the Grand intersection. Take a left on Grand, stay in the right hand lane, and go straight up the hill. Take a left at the stopsign at the top, and keep going until you run out of road. Take a quick left/right to get into the parking lot.
Sorry I wasn't around to give directions earlier. |

Sadly, no. It's an '88 K100RS, which is my daily driver (when it's not snowing!) and Rally bike. You can't miss her with the fuel cell mounted on back and those big Hella driving lights. It was really fun riding tonight behind all the scooters. You guys sure attract some attention! Although I approve beeping the horns at the young ladies strolling along the river walkway, who the hell was honking at the 80 year old lady? Perv!!!

Ask Betty's. It's always there in the DVD player. I believe it's called Sporting Scooters. I think everyone involved with planning the Rally needs to view this DVD. I think some of the "field events" MUST be incorporated into the gymkhana..... <wringing hands>

No Silverwings were hurt in the making of this post. |

Duh, you're right. I skipped the whole "turn right on Randolph" thing.

I would have given those diections, but she's on a Vino, which, according to personal experience, don't get up the Grand Hill. |

I did see you guys on my way home at University. I waived only Kevin nodded.... The K looked a little out of place in that pack. |
