Not at all that is major cool, and taken right where we were hanging out. Will put up a couple short videos when I get home. This rally has been happening since 1980 they have some awesome photo albums of old events. Will head north early am.

I hope it is a blue sky ride.
Home again Madness notches up another one.
And so does Wiles on his Kawasaki, 14 victories in a row at Peoria. The #17 Indian was making more power, would reel in Wiles up the straight but 14 had the corners and jumps WIRED.
Shot from the same spot RD was standing 40 years ago!
Video does not do justice to how hard it is to wrestle those beasts! Cornering was a constant bar flailing fight!

17 members from the society at the rally, many have been there since the first rally in about 79. Some on the same bike they rode to the first one!

Nice little video and photos. That looks like a great venue, I can see why you all keep going back.
What did you wire the secret switch up to, and aren't you afraid of it getting wet and cruddy inside?
After watchin' the video, this showed up on my Youtube feed....
Peoria..… my buddy and I load'd the little red truck and head'd south. About 5pm Mother Nature turn'd off the lights and unleashed a heavy hard rain. Now, it's dark and we're hydroplaning at 40 mph. We figured being late is better be'n dead so we found a motel.
At the motel in Peoria I found some old faces from the 650 Society. Due to the rains the track was a quad mire and required extensive work from heavy equipment overnight and most of the day. As a result there where no practice sessions, they went straight to heat, qualifying and then the main.

3 hours or more of rain and wet roads, no issues.
switch is sold as "weather proof"

That’s a good looking bike. I was checking that out earlier!
