Well, I went this past weekend to thegsresources.com Brown County Rally. I met up with about 30 - 35 other GS riders of all varieties. There were GS cruisers, standards, and sporty bikes, as well as other random bikes like GSXRs, a Honda Interceptor, a ZZR1200, etc. It was a GREAT time, and I encourage any and all to attend next year. You wouldn't believe some of the roads we have in beautiful southern Indiana.
I put about 400 miles on my bike in two days (and I live local). I got many kudos, both on my bike and my riding. I had the zzr1200 on my tail all day Saturday, and he said that I "was screaming through the corners on that little 500". He said I was a blast to watch, and he couldn't believe I was leaving him in all the twisties (he caught me with NO effort on the exits though).
It was a BLAST. The people were great, and I was grinning from ear to ear all weekend. Just thought I'd share my experience. For those of you going to Deals Gap this summer, we should have a fantastic time. Two weeks to go... :thumb: :icon_mrgreen: :cheers:
Awesome :thumb:

Precisely. They all stayed in a motel in Columbus about 15 miles away. I camped in BC state park.

Brown county is about 35 - 40 minutes south of Indianapolis. If you know Indiana at all, it is due east from Bloomington, home of the Indiana University Hoosiers, on State Road 46.
Roads we hit were: State Roads 135, 37, 58, 450, 150, 46, 446, 45, etc.
You can see a map with most of the roads we hit marked here. (http://browncounty.gsrallies.com/img/bc2008_map.jpg)
