what are the guide line for Tech Inspection for GS Giant Competition
GS Giant Track
We will check to see that:
1) you don't look like a dork
2) your bike doesn't look like a dork
3) you have the right gear: helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots and full-length padded clothing.
4) your bike is your bike, but we will advise you to:
- remove your saddlebags
- remove your mirrors
- remove your windscreen and turn signals
now, if you see me out there on my KLR 250 and say that i look like a dork, well, then...... i AM a dork!

GS BS - THE BEAR
Since a few Giant wannabees have challenged the Mistress, she will take a picture of any bear in PA. HOWEVER, the best bear gets the bonus.
