[Arizona Jim]

Barring any issues with my 95 year old father I plan on "doing it again". I'll see if I can coax brother Steve and now brother Kevin (new RT owner) into it.

 

[RoverDan]

I’ll be there! Thanks again to the whole team who make these events happen.

@garyculb Doc, I have cross posted to RS forum: cross posted to RS forum

 

[Prince]

For those who have not ever attended a TTD event......consider it. We all have a great time riding and hanging with old friends and make new friends. I have been to every TTD event but one. The one I did not attend was because the border was closed.

Because I have enjoyed TTD so much and have seen the work the organizers have done to make it a fun place I want to give something back.

I am donating my BMW Garmin Nav IV and its mount that will be won through an event 50/50 draw. I will be bringing it to TTD with me. I will be making @Ron Coleman carry it on his bike

The Nav IV has life time maps. The mount was given to me by @Arizona Jim several years ago. I would suggest the winner buys Jim's handle bar ram style mount like I did to mount it. The package will come with a BMW wiring pigtail to hook it to a 12v power source. The power source should (needs) to be on a power on switched source. I use a Rowe PDM60.

Lastly, I would like to encourage my fellow forum members to match or better my contribution to the event and donate items for other 50/50 draws. Let's make TTD 2023 the best TTD yet! TTD is what WE make it to be.

 

[BMWGuy]

Great idea!
I'll see what I can muster up!
