Lucky,
Hello from Minnesota!! Don't know if there are others on here from Minnesota, but there should be. This appears to be a great site. I've been riding since childhood, dirt to road. Currently have two, a customized 02 Shadow Aero 1100 with 65K on and a newly acquired Victory Cross Country. I do custom leather work as a sideline. I'm a past member of AMA, current ABATE member, past SCRC member, and current member of the LOST 202 Riding Club, honorary members of MN COC. I've ridden all over out West, Southwest, MN, WI, ND, SD, CO, MT, AZ, NM, UT, TX, CA, ID, IA, NB, OK, etc.
I posted a Minnesota event and I would encourage folks from other states to do a similar event. Check out the Ride For Dads July 23, 2011. It's a fund raiser to raise awareness of prostate cancer. Had a new doctor not suggested I take a PSA test in May of '09, the urologist who saved me said I likely would have died in October of 2010. So it's a pay it forward event I started last year.
