Haven't been keeping up the email much, but this definitely caught my attention. Location in Col and early June sound great. Joe took the route right out of my mouth - the same places the Co TATT rally has been. For those of you that don't recognize Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford - think of Mad Dogs and Englishmen - that's right Joe Cocker and his wife's place. Lots of old rare bikes gather there. When I was there 2 years ago with Steely Dan, there were a couple Vincent's and BSA parked out front. It was funny the remark the guys said "Didn't know which was a more rare site - our two GTSs or the two Vincent's?" Could you imagine if 30+ GTS's show up! My GTS is almost back together - I got all the parts I needed to repair it including all the front plastic and the front subframe which holds the headlight, dash and steering tube. What a bitch replacing that piece. -- Dave Biasotti // Fremont, CA

Early June is a good time, before it gets too hot. I'd suggest basing ourselves somewhere central like Frisco. The rides options are endless but two I'd suggest from Frisco would be: 1) Frisco, Leadville, Independence Pass, Aspen, Cabondale, Mclure Pass, Hotchkiss, lunch at the Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Gunnison, Buena Vista, Frisco. I'm sure Rob will want to stop in at Buena Vista for his favorite vomit flavored soup again ;-) 2) Frisco, Keystone, Loveland Pass, top of Mount Evans and back, Peak to Peak Hwy to Estes Park (lunch), Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake, Winter Park, Georgetown, Frisco. These are 250-350 mile rides, both crossing the continental divide four times and packed with spectacular roads and scenery. I wonder if we'd break the 38 GTS record? Joe.
