problem here is poor organization. I am on 7 different motorcycle lists, 
yet your post yesterday was the first mention that I had heard. My question 
is (besides why not get the word out?) is why Wednesday ? A lot of my peers 
are still shirt/tie M-Thurs with casual on Friday. Many of them just can't 
pick up with a day's notice and ride to work but combined with the extra 
hassle of having to change twice at work, many will opt not to participate. 
I had two computers in the back of my truck for delivery today, so by the 
time I got your message there was little I could do - the panniers are big 
but.........

I like the idea - just wish they would put a little more thought into it if 
they really want to make a statement.
