Shouldn't that be old granddads 151? I would think it would run better on 75% instead of 4%, less water. :dribble:

George I am behind on posts here, holidays all that. Laconia looks like a good time with some good mountain riding. What's up with this year? I can most likely only afford one gathering a year, and at this point I am not seeing the turbo rally happening. So maybe it's time to do something diff. and I have never been to Laconia. Bike week here in Daytona sucks, or maybe it's just because I have been there like 25 times.

Anyway I just thought I would post about how many might be doing Laconia this year and see what input comes back. :thumbup (Of course I still have to get the bike ready :rofl: )

Holy macaroni & cheese, was looking at google earth and checking out distances. Cocoa FL. to Laconia is 1,372.3 miles up I95 and you would go through almost every major city on the eastern sea board. You could go north first and then cut across, but it would be even further.

Hey darrel , might be a little tougher but we could still put together a rally . Myself , riturbo , and tom66 are definites for 2018 . In addition to the good size kawi crew that comes with Riturbo , his son eric brings a turbo also in addition to his zrx . Mopar usually is a lock but this year he's traveling to California for work from march to september/october .

If theres any interest i can get started on a east coast callout :mrgreen:
