BEAUTIFUL ... just beautiful!
Hi Jack (000),
How was the rendezvous in Gate, Oklahoma the weekend of October 8th?
It was a hoot, Alan ... a double hoot - no, let me change that, a "Single" Hoot, as in Thumpers! Yah, gonna go with that, for now - #000.
I was several hundred miles away in Moab Utah. We had 9 thumper riders from California attend Moab. Ages ranged from 55-81 years old, the majority was in their 70’s. Two of our most senior riders rode the easier dirt roads.
So glad to see this ride report, you guys have had it tough for the last couple of years, you deserve some quality saddle time, for sure! Thump On! - #000
One thumper was a Suzuki DR400 while the rest were KTMs (350s, 450s and 525s).
All the thumpers ran smoothly except for one KTM 350, it developed fuel injection problems. To get it running again we basically replaced the whole fuel injection system. Personally for me I’m still old school, I still like carburetors.
Monday started with hot clear weather. But, by Friday it was much cooler and rained all day. So no riding on Friday. Saturday morning, we started our two-day drive trucking our thumpers home. It was a good thing we trucked our thumpers to Moab. On the drive back to sunny California it snowed, sleeted, and temperatures were below freezing in some places.
Alan ... You sure you didn't go through Kansas by accident? - #000

Keeping you all apprised with our club's progress ...
the upcoming issue will be our 145th edition of Thumper News, written and published for and by FSSNOC club members for the last 35 years, non-stop.
I have friends younger than that, though I can't remember their names.
That was a joke.
Yes, a joke ... yes, I'm sure.
But don't ask me if I locked the side door to the garage?
We are in this together, Ladies and Germs ... so celebrate it, okay?
