Just from chatting with the participants, I believe everyone on RRE 2012 could have ridden a perfectly suitable and very appealing non-Riv bike. Maybe we need to do a non-Riv Riv Rally! -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.co

I think the Riv Rally is a fantastic idea, and I'm amazed at Bobby's ability to bring an idea like that to fruition. I associate it in my mind with classic auto rallies, like the Austin Healey rally that came through my town a few years ago, or the dozens of MGs I saw on my drive down the East s

I guess I simply prefer a more egalitarian theme for a ride. Inclusive rather than exclusive that's all. I don't think anything negative about the folks and certainly did not mean to insinuate that. There are about ten Riv owners in my club and sometimes it's all Rivs on a ride. No problem, ri
