Awfully quiet Rally

Is it me or is there a big lack of excitement in posting on the National rally now that it's done?

There was very little posted about the rally prior to it as well.
But there is a lack of posting on the forum period. Not just the rally.
Most people seem to prefer FaceBook. I guess the ease of posting pictures has a lot to do with it.
Makes you wonder if forums will be around much longer.

There was plenty of excitement but you have to go to the VBA or VRA facebook page also at #vulcanrally2015 on facebook. It just easyer to post pics there. Amin will be back home today from the Blackhills maybe he'll post some pics. But don't let the lack of posting on the forum be misinterpreted for lack of excitement. The rally was a blast.

Also the lack of excitement rased $3000 for the flint street kids program. We also donated book bags and filled them with food. 3 people went down and 1 goldwing was totaled but nobody was seriously hurt. 220 people attended and we all got along ( I think Amin knows them all or he does now).

I knew two lost it on gravel in corners. I didn't know about the third.
Tumbling down the hill didn't do the wing any good.
Glad they all escaped without serious injury.

I dropped mine on the way home. I was leaving a convince store after a rain driving up hill into a blind intersection at a stop sign. I don't know if I didn't give it enough gas or too fast on the clutch, but when she stalled and started rolling backwards it was all over but the inevitable dropping. That front brake held but the fount tire just slid faster when I hit the brake.

I image I had it overloaded by twice what Kaw recommends all on the top.

I thought I was the only one. I have absolutely no need for it, tweeter or any other "social media" web sites.
