What is the HTTA?  Well, geeez, I'd guess if you're reading this you're a member  Phil, email me about shipping the banner to you or someone else who will be there from the opening salutes.  I'd planned to take it to VMD last weekend in July, then ship it out.  Born to be relatively wild    Report

Seriously, though, hoping you CAN find the time to attend.  We're making-up a bit of time on our itinerary right now, so we should be at the rally for a sizeable portion of the time-span.    Report

I am shipping the HTTA banner to Phil now that is has flown proudly (and lonely) at the Vintage Motorcycle Days in Ohio this past weekend, because I am not usually in PA for the opening flag ceremony ;-) Wouldn't miss hearing "Tales from the North" and buying you two a beer. We hope to be riding in on a pair of CX650 EuroSports, it's about 6 hrs for us. Might be accompanied by a friend on his CX650T also. There should be a fairly complete display of North American models represented. Have you decided on your "Tech Session" subject yet? I used my "pop bottle" oil funnel the other day again, and thought of you at TWO in Georgia while I poured. That was where I met "Chopper" Charles and Dick (RIP) too. It will be good to see some guys I would otherwise never cross paths with, Dave/Wisconsin and Dave/Atlanta are two top notch US troubleshooters that come to mind first who will likely be in attendance. "and correcting some of the misconceptions you have thrust at me during the years." Well, NOW you have my curiosity and attention! If my supposed misconceptions are related to my believing you are probably the top Engish speaking CX/GL guru in the world, you will be unsuccessful, and are fore-warned of same. Ride Safe, and take good care of that old guy riding with you, I want to see Gene again too. Born to be relatively wild    Report

All weather dependant as I'm most likely super-slabing it and it might get a bit uncomfortable with the lower windscreen compare to my other bike. -K & daBEERS 1982 GL500 aka rootBEER 1983 CX650T aka turboBEER Success is not the result of "spontaneous cumbustion".........    Report

Expect delays around morning and evening rush hours. I also heard about some work on I-81 but I'm not certain of the location. They just screwed up the road I live on with a tar and chip job.
