Rats in Minnesota

Promoting our local rat pack to folks here that may want to join in.
http://www.bpmotorsports.com

Summer has gone and now there’s just two months and two Pack rides left in the season.

This month we’re doing a charity ride on Saturday September 22nd.

After that charity ride and lunch, some of us will be heading to southwest Wisconsin to hook up on the beautiful riding out there for the rest of the weekend. Planning to lodge Saturday night at

The Round Barn Lodge
E4830 Hwy 14 & 60
Spring Green, WI 53588
608-588-2568

RSVP if you’d like to join in. This is not an official Pack run and sportbike not required – just an enthusiasm for great roads and challenging corners. Lodging is your own responsibility.

Next month will be our last run for the year. Our fall run is Saturday, October 6th.

I will put up more info soon

How was this ride? Did you have a big group?

Very cool to see my hometown as a destination for those on tour.. I live in Madison now, but grew up in Spring Green. Lovely area, I hope everyone had a great time!

If your group is ever planning to come back down this way, please post and I will come join up!

Spring Green Fall Ride

The ride started wet, then perfect, then windy, windy, windy. I had dropped out early with a fried reg/rectifier but made it home okay. We had ten riders.

Not sure if I can make it there by noon, but I'll try -- I'd love to meet up with y'all! If not tomorrow, I'll be joining in for some rides this summer!

So I stopped in at 9:30 and wandered a bit. Stopped at the Motoprimo stand and chatted for a while with a salesman about the Speed and Street Triple. Noticed another guy talking about Street.

I was leaving and decided that I should go check out the Kawasaki Concours 14. Another bike I kinda like. Noticed the same guy I saw at the Motoprimo standing and looking at a Ninja. So I just said you shouldn't be looking at that if you have a Street Triple on order. Next thing I know he is asking if I am Toad. It was Marker.

Kinda funny how it occurred but enjoyed the brief visit. So, I hope you other guys met up. Now I am even more looking forward to riding.

I was there from 11 til about 1pm. i too spoke with a couple sales guys about the street triple. One of them said he had a guy in earlier who bought one in Wisconsin, younger guy. I'm guessing it was marker. Laker called about 1/2 hour after Ileft. Sorry I missed you guys.
