    That shit is 3 months away. Speaking of shit, don't drink coffee before you ride to this show; The outhouses were pretty nasty at the last one. I was within view of one outhouse last year, and it seems everyone had the trots that morning...

    never to early to plan , there is a guy I work with that keeps talking about this event , and how he always plans to go to it , but has never been . and every year I go to work on the following Monday , and ask him how it was , and he says " oh , shit I missed it again ?"

    I'll have to put a post it in his work station as a 3 month reminder . Bet he still misses it .

    Got my stack of Benjamin's waiting already. Missed out on some great buts every year but not this one. I will push the bikes home if need be but luckily I'm close enough.

    I didn't see much for great buts there, mostly plumber's crack....

    I saw several bikes last year I deeply regret not buying. Most of the good buys are out in the parking lot.

    Which ones? The one I regret is the very first bike I saw for sale, a titled, running, complete early cb350 for cheap cheap. Pretty sure I showed it to you, it was very close to the dirt road on the left as you first walk in...

    I really wanted that 900rr. I remember that 350. It was a steal. I liked that mb5 too. There was a few racers for short money as well. A decent but beat black fzr400.

    We left with a very worn RT-180. The motor was rebuilt and then, along with the disc brake front end, was grafted onto a '79 DT125 later....

    Re: Rice o Rama September

    I got no excuses for not being there, it's less than two miles from home. Maybe I should walk over with helmet in hand and Benjamins in pocket, ride home?

    Nah, I'm fond of my house and wouldn't want to see in the hands of my wife's second husband.

    And BTW, it was just a few years ago that the Spencer Agricultural Association (who owns the Fairgrounds) had to spend mid-5 figures on upgrading the bathrooms to be ADA compliant. They're not bad at all. The place is actually a very good, very roomy venue for something like this.

    I go to the spencer fairgrounds for pug fest every year and it has gotten much nicer in the last couple. It will be a joy to go to for rice o Rama.

    Re: Rice o Rama September

    I will be there, likely buying, with my trailer. If any of you show up on a bike and see a great deal, I'll bring your deal back to my house, which is next to Thompson Speedway. PM me for my number.

    Re: Rice o Rama September

    I plan on buying but I'm gonna ride up. I live about 10 miles away so I can run home and grab my truck.
    However, if I buy to many I may need another transporter. I gotta get projects inline for next year.

    Re: Rice o Rama September

    This is coming up real soon and will be my 1st year. I live about 15 mins away and am really excited something is actually near me for once. I'll most likely be on my bike but if someone buys something that needs to be hauled home ill gladly go get my truck and haul it for you, keep that in mind when you find that great deal.

    Re: Rice o Rama September

    Sadly I won't be going this year. I'm moving to london Wednesday for the winter. I did pick up a beater 900rr a few days ago so I can't complain about any deals I miss. I do like wandering it though. Always so many cool bikes and crap. I'd be really bumming if my rd350 was ready to show but I got zero chance of doing that now.
    I really wanted to dump some of my extra bikes there too. 8 is to many considering half qualify as beaters. These loaner bikes are really starting to bother me.

    Leave it on the back of your truck with a sign and phone number. Most of the selling is in the parking lot area anyway. Just try to get it in a high vis place.

    I plan on going Sunday. I don't want to take the pickup so as not to tempt me to buy something that big.
