GTS Card
Umm, the color should be Blue. Also, i agree that the card should focus more on what makes the bike different, like the RADD suspension, Omega frame, EFI, and the fact that it kicks ass.

Re: GTS Rally in 2001
Or forget the bikes and we just meet in Hawaii. Jay Why not call it the "All-Western-Hemisphere International GTS Rally With Bikes in Absentia" and we can all meet on Grand Cayman. Got some friends down there. Believe me, I'll ride just about anywhere, except the South East - just too hot and humid. Rode out there in June, '97, and it rained 13 of 15 days. Felt more like I was swimming than riding. At least out here it's dry It seems we are leaning more towards Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Alberta. Shawn is right about Montana - awesome riding, esp. coming out of Wyoming. But Yellowstone is a nightmare with tourists. I bet the South Easters would prefer Colorado, Wyoming, just to cut down on the distance. I have one question for everyone: do we want to meet in one place and then ride around that central locale, or do we want to meet somewhere, and then ride somewhere else? June, July, August works well for me, too.

Uh, I hope this didn't already go out, but Hotmail is having conniption fits and I can't tell what it's doing. So Is anyone else interested in ordering some logo clothing from Land's End? Contact me off-list and let's see if we can get something going.

GTS Rally in 2001
Looking at a map of the US, it IS hard to find somewhere to meet. As Joe pointed out, the real heart of the US if a big, big field. Not much fun riding around. As far as I can tell, I think Colorado would be a good bet. Ok, so the East coasters would have further to go than the West Coasters, but does anyone else have any ideas? Believe me, I think meeting at Deal's Gap would be fabulous, but then that's WAY east. Or, let's just hit the pavement and Ride to Glacier National Park in Montana or maybe Banff National Park in Alberta. Anyone ever been to Jasper? Rode through there last year - unbelievably gorgeous country. If we meet in Canada, then probably all of us would have a healthy ride. About 5,000 miles roundtrip, myself. But, please, not around Easter. Doug McIntosh 1993 Yamaha GTS 1000A 1985 Honda Magna V65 "Bonecrusher" Austin, Texas, USA Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
newbie to list and bike covers
Greetings everyone. My name is Doug McIntosh and I am the proud, new owner of a 1993 GTS. I live in Austin, Texas, and I've been riding my old bike, a 1985 Honda Magna V65, all over the US and Canada over the last four years. It was this touring (and riding my friend's '92 FJ1200A through the mountains of Colorado)that made me realize I needed a different bike. So, here I am, and I must say I've never seen or ridden anything like our beloved GTS. So, I look forward to seeing what happens on the list as well as meeting some of you on my "weekend" rides.. So, with basic introductions out of the way, I pose a question to you all: Does anyone have any suggestions about makes and SIZES for a bike cover? I'm not sure what size might work best. Thanks and Cheers, Doug '93 GTS 1000A '85 Magna V65 "Bonecrusher" Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
