Dennis,
I did an informal count and I think there was between 10-15 Loops there. =
I think I remember 82 people total so that means likely 70 bikes? =
Definately the Loops were there in force and outnumbered any other =
model. Great to see.
By the way the oldest Loop there (mine) rode a total 771 (real miles =
taken from my bike speedo) trouble free miles. The only trouble spot =
came early Sunday morn when I stupidly didn't make sure she was properly =
on her side stand and she fell over. Andy set the mood of the moment =
when he said immediatley afterwards...."why does this always happen in =
front of a crowd?". :-) Made me laugh but I think I would have been a =
little more pissed had something broken. I was still pissed though! =
Loops do not look good resting on their side.
The rally was indeed awesome....and as Dennis said the weather had a lot =
to do with it. But also...hats off to Todd and Brenda for putting on a =
good show....no easy task.
I have to admit....as much as I enjoyed looking at all the bikes I most =
enjoyed looking at the Loops and talking to their keepers.=20
Nice seeing you again Dennis....I may have forgotten to tell you that =
you have one very nice looking Eldo. I know that you know that but its =
nice to hear :-)=20
I look forward to seeing many of you at the next one.
Regards...Ian

The Western NY Rally was outstanding. Todd & Brenda and the crew =
did just a marvelous job of offering hospitality to all. All of us =
rallygoers really appreciate your efforts! It was a great time with =
good people and just wonderful weather. Of course, Mother Nature did =
have to send a brief downpour our way in the middle of the night, =
despite forecasts of ZERO rain, just to show us who's boss, but during =
the daytime hours the weather was perfect. Again, thanks for the great =
New York hospitality for all of you who worked so hard.=20
20
Finally, for those loopers out there.......I think that loopframes =
may have outnumbered any other model in attendance at this rally. =
Whadda ya think?
