This is a fantastic podcast from the vault way back in 2013.

This past weekend we had a blast down at the Red River Gorge in beautiful Kentucky. This rally was put on by Logan and Amanda Miller of Rust Revival (http://www.rustrev.com/). Posted as a Do The Ton event on www.dotheton.com it went from May 17th to the 20th. We rode twisty mountain roads, drank I think ever kind of beer known to man, and ate delicious food (all cooked by wonder woman Amanda herself). It was great to see familiar faces from past DTT events as well as meet many new people. We can't thank Logan and Amanda enough for providing us with such a great location and such a great weekend. Of course our trusty R2 unite came along and many of the attendees joined us for a podcast out on the porch of our beautiful lodgings. Please enjoy and be sure to check out Rust Revivals website for some very cool and unique vintage motorcycle related apparel

https://aimexpousa.com/

• Exhibitors: More than 400 exhibitors, including more than two dozen OEMs and nine distributors
• Dealers: Over 1,000 dealers registered to attend

KTM (owes 2.2BILLION)  fails to satisfy US Creditors. 

https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/major-creditor-clashes-with-ktm-ahead-of-crucial-restructuring-vote/

--KTM’s current owners would lose all their shares, meaning they would no longer control the company. In their place, creditors would take over ownership.

https://www.rideapart.com/news/750246/ktm-creditor-whitebox-advisors-llc-akv-insolvency-debt/

"KTM would likely be liquidated in order to meet its debt obligations. It could also just restart this insolvency affair, which would be worse for nearly everyone"

Life Lesson: Don't borrow money from people who are used to buying distressed companies at a profit.  February 25th is going to be a big day in the company's future.

Will the Isle of Man govt. shut down Green Lanes during the TT?
