September 5 - 8, 2019 DGR Rally in Maggie Valley

[Sultan]

How many people do we have so far that are participating in the TrackDays, or going to be a spectator for the event?

[Rob]

So why are we talking about track days on the DGR thread?

[MattB]

Rob, read/re-read post #1 and #2. It's all part of the spanktacular week of riding.

Guys are mixing activities prior to DGR and a variety of things during...

Well not me this year. Don't have the required leather gear and nor do I want to drain my XR cooling system to fill with water. BMW uses a vacuum fill.

I will be gone for most of July to El Paso for military and have to catch up with seeing patients when I return. Have been procrastinating whether to attend at all and take more time off, but then I love you rascals and dont want to miss an opportunity to mess around.

So why are we talking about track days on the DGR thread?

This year there's two track days (Monday and Tuesday), two dual sport days (Wednesday and Thursday), and two street days (Friday and Saturday). Or, whatever combination you want. If you want to skip the track and DS, do that. I may ride dirt Wednesday and street the rest of the week. Or, I may not ride dirt at all. It's all good.

The general itinerary is in the first two posts of this thread.

[Rob]

Ah, so. Thankyouverrrmuch.

Completely unacceptable.

[MattB]

Completely unacceptable.

Nope, could not DISAGREE more. While I would LOVE to help Bill get on the track for the first time (and we've talked about it in the past), if there's anybody that i'm giving a hall pass on shit for not attending, it's Bill right now. I'm just hoping that I can see him at some point during the event for a bit.

But Mani, since you've deemed it "Completely unacceptable" I look forward to seeing you there too bud!

While I do know that he has a lot on his hands, fo this rally he is required equipment.

Yesssss, I am in with John (jargon) for the trip. It will be my first attendance at the DGR. Never done BRP or Dragon tail. Looking forward to meeting you all. Thanks John for the head's up

Mani: I don't know about the XR but the RR's are not vacuum drain and fill - simply pull the water hose and open the drain on the radiator. Fill it up with distilled water and flush it a few times. Then fill it up with distilled water and Motul MoCool good to go. The RR is extremely easy to drain and fill I'm thinking the XR is the same?
