My worst injuries were from my last spill, but that was during the transition from street to dirt - and already discussed on this forum in a different thread.<br />

Depending on the outcome of this poll a hope to post a couple more polls that will narrow down what we as a forum community would like to do or perhaps not?<br />

The right passenger makes a trip better. The wrong passenger will make a trip worse...don&#039;t ask me how I know. I like my wife to ride with me cause it causes me to slow down a little. When I ride solo I tend to gas and go, gas and go etc...with my wife we tend to take trips more casually and enjoyably. By myself I&#039;ll crush 600+ mile days, with my wife...400 miles.<br />

This will be the final poll for the date, so PLEASE make sure that you vote for time period of choice. Also, the time frame that has the most votes WILL BE the time frame. I will leave this poll open for two months so there will plenty of time for people to vote.<br />

As the idea of a Meet And Greet has gained momentum, I thought that it is time that a poll is mad to determine the location. <br />

Remember, this is going to be for next summer and the date in which we should have this will be in a separate poll.<br />

Please remember that not everyone is going to be happy with the location but the majority should be heard. <br />

If the place that you really think that the Meet and Greet should be held, please PM me and we can discuss starting a different poll...<br />
