Parks and Wreck Creation Rally pics

We a great turnout for our first rally. We learned a lot over the weekend and I think next year will be even better.

Approximately 18 people showed up from Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, and Iowa. As usual, there were a few breakdowns, but most of the group survived. It was a lot of fun having other fast bikes here to ride with and seeing/discussing other people's setups.

I met back up with the group for more riding on Sunday.

Here is Seb's bike. I love this thing. It's fast and looks like no other bike. It's janky, but it runs well.

The Ciao finally fired up and ran well...until it soft seized at 45+ mph on a long downhill stetch:

There just happened to be a car show in the same campground where everyone stayed.  We crashed it for a little while:

Thanks again for making the trip out everyone. I personally had a great time.
