That's to bad. I think that the current count now is one GT200, two Bajaj's, and three Stella's to Duluth. |

It is funny how weather reports from different sources can be so varied. Depending on the forecaster, temps for Saturday will be anywhere from a high in the low eighties to the mid nineties.
At least they all seem to agree that the strong winds forecasted will be from the south. That will put it at our backs for most of the route to Duluth. |

From where and what time does the ride leave for Osceola tomorrow? I hope to join in, albeit in four wheels cuz I will have my nephew with. (My sister has a thing about him on two wheels.)
I waded through all the posts about this event & the ride to Duluth (I bet there was less conversation when planning D-day), and still couldn't find the answer. |

I'd say Keith's Volvo is cooler than most scooter/sidecars out there.. |

Aren't both parking lots on Lexington?
Here it is: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=minneapolis&ll=44.981283,-93.145008&spn=0.005357,0.006676&t=h&hl=en
It's the larger lot, to the south of the pavillion/bandshell. If it's after 8 and you're in a parking lot and there are no scooters in that lot, look for the other lot. Repeat until one of the two lots contains more than 1 scooter. (yours included) |

Okay, so we're meeting in the big lot to the east of Lexington, between Lexington and Lake Como, to the south of the band shell. Is this correct?
Thanks! I'm really pumped... especially with my new Pinasco 177 kit and Simonini pipe... |
