I've been to our Celina event the past four years. Of course, it's close for me, 150 miles. The ride to this years M&G was terrible but well worth putting up with rain all the way. I've met many good people in this group and even formed a group of core friends. At 70 years old now, I don't know if I would travel hundreds of miles to attend, so I do understand the comments from members who must travel long distance.

I must be old, I don't understand the need for speed during the out of town group rides. My old eyes just can't observe the country side. I enjoy just looking around, taking in the views of farms and barns. What's the rush?

The HD museum was wonderful, and a extend a "Thank you" for arranging the visit. I believe there are many forum members that could attend who live within a reasonable distance, but I understand that there are family duties that get in the way. I'm retired and my children have long ago left the nest. Heck, I don't even have the wife thing to deal with, (I'm keeping this house)
