I will bring the KE-175. If possible, I will bring the DT-250, but it will take a lot to get it street legal.

zip ties, a flashlight, and a borrowed plate. *legal-ish*

I think we come from the same school of thought! :lol:

I plan on bringing the little Yamaha 100 again (with fresh top-end), and barring unforseen circumstances, Blueboy will return

Make sure the 100 has good tires on it and we'll have some fun. :D



Well, those IRC moped tires seemed to work pretty well last year! I look forward to riding with you...or at least behind you!

Ok, we ALL either dust off, modify, build., or acquire new stuff for the meet every year. ( except Jeff :D . )

I'll start:

actually bringing a triple this year:

(purists, cringe away)

the G3:
it is in process of getting a 'few' upgrades. this is all i will show :mrgreen:

and the 4 stroke representation. Yes, i bought one.

so lets see em people.



That 390 should be the just the ticket through The Gap! :thumbup:

We will have a bunch of stuff coming this year including Dual Sports among the 2 strokes. We want to put some more off road time in this year. My ride will be the ever reliable 08 KTM 990ADV with new Conti TKC's on it. A few new to The Gap bikes will be coming with us. Adam will be brining his ELR and Suzuki DRZ650, and hopefully I will have this 76 CB750F finished,

It's a '72 CB with a '72 CL motor. Has the CL scrambler headers with newer mufflers welded on. I had to install the aluminum guards as the pipes were melting my raceboots :lol:

My RD400 holed the right piston!! :banghead Arrrgggg, guessing a crank seal. Jumping through my rear to swap a good bottom into the frame and luckly I have a set of fresh cylinders and pistons ready to go. Been working on it the last two days and hope to have it running tomorrow! I also have to put new front break pads in the PC800, dont trust the old ones to handle the trailer for the whole trip. :crazy:
