This is it. Last time on 14th street - then who knows. I hope all the usual suspects will make it.

A couple of years ago I made a book of our past shows, have a look:

That sounds like fun - I would trailer my bike down - any place to park the car & trailer close to the event and ride in on the bike?

It is quasi industrial so street parking should not be a big deal. I would get there early to get a spot though.
ok, non of my old crap is road legal. could take the 09 triumph
I will take the train/subway in. My plan is to ride the GS home from the show.

Well plans can change but that is the plan for now. The tricky bit is either getting out early enough or late enough to avoid sitting in tunnel traffic on an air-cooled motorcycle.
take the train in, remember his riding gear, get the bike from bob dog?, w/ a plate on it? and get it home. maybe under the cover of darkness. long odds.
The plate is on it. The shop where the GS has been visiting is literally a block away. I have the current reggie and insurance card. If the missus drops me at the train station, I WILL have gear without fail! Plus I will have the added incentive of avoiding sitting on the train for and hour and a half through all the stops through Jersey. Plus if you ride in, you can run blocker for me until we split at 287.
Does this cunning plan involve jumping barbed wire, and being chased by Nazis in a sidecar?

Hope so.

Danger, is my business."

Sadly no. Although an MG42 mounted on a swivel would certainly increase my options in traffic!
Wrong GS

btw there was a lot of talk at the meeting about using last year's funds to fly you in for the show to be special guest mc/celebrity judge/prom queen. It is the end of an era after all...
Uuuummmmmm Geeto in a dress.

He really doesn't have the legs for it.

That doesn't even bear thinking about!!!!

for some strange reason I think he could pull off wearing a tiara though.
They make tiaras that big?

I am genuinely touched and I don't know what to say. Thank you. I am trying to find out how to make it happen, I really do want to be there.
