Sorry, this one gave me fits. Hopefully, you can make sense of it.

It makes sense to me! Enjoyed it!

[STLTHMSTA]

Made sense to me too, I don't know what he's talkin' about.   LOL   Thanks Moose.    TM

Nicely done Moose, sorry it was so troublesome but it looks good to me, so your frustrating work paid off. 
Thanks for including the blurb about my friend Jorge in the COG group. He and I went to the same High School (although 10 years apart).
It's my hope that the MSTA and COG can associate more in the future as we both dwindle in size.
Not merge, but sort of partner and share strategies going forth into an unknown motorcycling future. Some of us
really enjoy both groups, Jorge and I for instance just to name a few.

I was also a member of both COG and MSTA/HSTA for as long as I owned a Concours, including my 86. I thought the COG/MSTA track day was a blast! (And I think I remember meeting Jorge there) Apparently we did not get a big enough turnout for
Ken Condon to come back with his Riding In The Zone school but I believe COG member Douglas Re, an EX WERA racer has continued the event as trainer.

Just a comment or two…

The MSTA is not dwindling. We actually grew just a little last year and January, 2025  also showed just a little growth. February numbers aren’t in yet, but could be similar. I can’t comment on COG as I have no information there.

I do think that more cooperation and cross-club activity between the MSTA and COG (or any other group like them) would be a good thing.

I just saw a news release recently showing the Concours as being discontinued. COG will be hard pressed to gain any new members unless they do what we did and become more "style" and less "brand/model" oriented.
