I think Dan just set the standard for meeting minutes. And even though he was modest and didn't mean to volunteer as the club secretary, he gets my vote. All for? Aye. All against? ... (silence) ... And the gavel falls.

 

Well, the "ayes" have it. Dan has been duly elected to the position of EMRAT secretary. Cheers!

Well, guys and girls, I intended this to go only to Curtis, so no harm intended to all of you who support the rat graphic with my comments . . . but I still have to confess that I'm not enamored of the RAT.  J  Not since I first saw it a decade ago . . . .

 

Perhaps this email has served as the "minutes" to last night's meeting, so please add information, or correct anything I wrote if I got it wrong.

Not yet.  The consensus top choice is the first one, where the black rat is head on to the viewer but looks like a black panther.  It has the crossed pistons.  In the background is the iconic Colorado logo.  People want the rat to look like a real rat . . . .

 

I ask myself: who wants to walk down Main Street in Sturgis on a Saturday night wearing a t-shirt that has a rat on it?  Just think what the Mongols, Bandidos and Hells Angels will say to you!

 

So the comments go back to Garth for more work; he's a graphics artist.  Did you ever meet him?  He and Jay Clawson rode to Alaska in 2011.  He attended several Sturgis rallies with us.  His wife works for Amazon and she was transferred first to Seattle in late 2011 and then recently to Louisville KY.  He rides BMWs.

 

Some calendar items:

·         Possible March 17th High Plains ride, led by Martin Albright, to honor Chuck Ferrari, but date may change based on weather.

·         Triumph in the Rockies Rally, Montrose, July 19-21

·         Sturgis Ride, let by Norm Wright and me, Friday, August 2nd, departure, return whenever.

 

No dates for Iron-Butt Steve's spring ride, possibly in May, or for Captain Bob's fall ride, sometime in September.

 

Also, I'm looking at departing Denver, May 24th, the Friday of the Memorial Day weekend to ride to Seattle and on to Vashon Island.  I'm going to leave the bike there and fly home late Sunday, June 2nd.  I'm going to avoid the interstate as much as possible.  Probably go out US 40 and then northwest through SW WY somehow into southern ID and then north and head towards Seattle. 

 

You are welcome to ride with me part way as many days as you want, even go all the way to Vashon and spend a few days resting.  We have two guest rooms downstairs.  Madie will fly out Memorial Day weekend.

 

We should have a Secretary of our group to write up notes from the meeting and send it out.   But I'm not volunteering!  J

 

Great slide show by Jay with commentary by him and Norm on their ride to OR last June to attend the OR BMW rally.   He's a great photographer.

I missed the meeting. Do we have a new logo?

This is sounding like it's time to download the WSB app and watch the races on-line.Both WSB and 600 Supersport are being represented by 7 differant manufacturers.MotoGP,with the "Bumbler" at the helm,needs to do something extremely major to make MotoGP more attactive to the manufacturers!!                                                                                     E-Steve

WARF:  I will have the 2 Vanson leather track suits with me tonight at the meeting;

 

E-Steve;  I don't hold out much hope for WSB on TV this year.  Speed Channel is going stick & ball, which means nothing but NASCAR and baseball (SNORE!) this summer.  There has been talk of Versys or NBCSports picking it up, however I doubt they can pay DORNA's asking price for the world feed, at least without major bucks from Red Bull, Monster, etc., who are already reaching the US market with Supercross.  Don't expect to see the AMA/DMG series either, with the exception of Daytona and the support class at the Laguna Seca USGP.  Wayne E.
