King RAT Has Died

[Robert W Munday <rwmunday@xxxxxxxx>]

Presidents, RATs and Friends,


Gately Bartlett of Acworth, Georgia, founder of the Road Anomaly Tour,
died Monday evening.  Funeral arrangements have not been announced, but I
will update the list when this information is made available.  The
funeral is expected to be this Friday near Acworth, a suburb of Atlanta.

The Road Anomaly Tour was started to encourage riders to get out, ride
and see some of the unique and unusual sites around the world.  I was
honored to be one of Gately's "Rat Sites".  One example of a RAT page
belongs to David E.B. Smith of Chicago and can be found at

In addition to the Great RAT Runs, Gately sponsored the Angola Prison
Rodeo at the state prison in Angola, Louisiana and participated in BMW
rallies from Georgia Mountain to the Ride To Savannah.  The RAT Banner
has made many trips to BMW rallies around the US and Canada.
