20th Anniversary Lake O' the Pines Rally Recap
Bruce Davidson, Rally Chairman
This year's rally attracted well over 300 happy campers. We also had over 100 of
the finest restored British & European motorcycles found anywhere in the country
in the Bike Show.
The
rally this year featured the "Texas
Ceegar" along with the world famous twin engine Norton powered HOG SLAYER which is owned and was raced by
T. C. Christianson.
The Texas Ceegar will be shipped back to its home at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, England immediately following the rally.
The HOG SLAYER will also find its will earned retirement at the same
location.
David Edwards, Editor-In-Chief of
Cycle World magazine was there to honor his brother
Kevin, a long time member of the NTNOA who
passed away this year. David presented the Honorary President's
Award to the most outstanding bike at the rally. He selected the
Texas Ceegar as the winner. Excellent choice.

The Avinger Future Farmers of America (FFA) once again handled our registration desk and after hours security. They did another super job this year.
