In, reservations made Mike | ||
| Easy_rider |
I want to, and plan to, but haven't made reservations of any kind. I thought I'd be free to make them by now but things keep changing on me. | ||
| Bartimus |
looks good! | ||

I do not know yet but I am planning on it. What is the drop dead date on the hotel reservation? Bart, are you going? You might want to. There are a lot of people looking for pictures right now. If you are riding the ST there will be no way I will be able to keep up with you on that comfy machine. I will bring duct tape incase your belt starts showing.  Maybe we should invite the Uly and 1125 crowd to show them what being a Bueller means. We can bring Aerostich catalogs for the Uly guys that have Power Ranger fantasies and "posting for idiots" for the watercooler riders. Nah.... Nevermind. | ||

I plan on going, although I am working real hard on my corporate escape plan so life is little up in the air right now. | ||
| Road_thing |
It's a long ride from here, and my S2 isn't back together yet. Would I be ostracized if I rode up on my Road Pig? rt | ||
| Gowindward |
Tom, I'm sure you would be welcome regards of how you arrived. Loren | ||

...Would I be ostracized if I rode up on my Road Pig? I think MOST of us could refrain from spitting in your general direction!  | ||

I just reserved Friday and Saturday nights. It depends on my vacation days. I have work the week of the event in Northern Cal, then I have two events the next week. REX | ||

We someone to make beer runs. Despite what some think, these gatherings have very little to do with the bikes. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Tom, you have to show up, I owe you a beer or 10... | ||
| Bartimus |
Tom, just tape a picture of your S2 onto your saddlebags, and cover the Hardley emblems on your gas tank with Buell emblems and all will be good to go.  We know you are one of us, regardless of what you happen to be riding... | ||
| Gowindward |
I was kind of thinking lipstick for the pig. I'm sure a group of S2 Buell riders could do some great pin striping. | ||
| Road_thing |
You know, this would make for an epic road trip.  I'm going to try to make it happen. Wouldn't want to end up on a stick like Brad... rt | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Tom, if you only knew how painful that is!! The stick I mean...... | ||
| F_skinner |
How many miles is that RT? Looks like a great adventure. Looks like we will intersect west of Milwaukee.  1400 miles | ||
| Road_thing |
Frank, it's a little over 1500 from here. 3 days if I hurry, rt | ||
| F_skinner |
Cool RT, if you ride I will have to. I do want to push the limits since I am feeling much better these days. My rule of thumb, granted I am no where near Smoke's class of rider, is to do as many miles the first day I can then settle to a more reasonable pace the next day or days. We will see, I have some things I want to do to the S2T before hand (new belt, tires, fork fluid etc etc.) This is going to be good. I need to see about getting the time off of work since I am down to having just a few days of vacation. I discovered the "Absent No Pay" code and have no trouble using it. | ||

>>>I am no where near Smoke's class of rider Like . . . who is? The man is a riding animal!  | ||
| Road_thing |
Sounds like a good rule, Frank. I max out around 600-650 miles in a day, but I prefer to plan for no more than 400. If I'm riding alone, I tend to get the "white line fever" and push harder. Longer days in summertime certainly help keep the numbers up, but my old butt wears out eventually. rt | ||
| Buffalobolt |
I have some things I want to do to the S2T before hand (new belt, tires... Ahhhhh... Those things are over-rated!!  ...They're not really an issue until someone mentions them... | ||
| Queenofspeed |
Dan and Lucille Dunn(NRHS)are going to try to make it from Colorado. | ||
| Spiderman |
Does NRHS wanna donate anything for door prizes? I have only a few used items so far  | ||

Frank, I would love to make the gathering, I am feeling guilty that I may not make it. But, I have to think of my significant other, and I after dragging her to homecoming on my POS Uly, I wouldn't want to put her on the back of my S2 for that many miles. I "could" take the ST, and have certainly entertained that thought. It is such a road couch, I wouldn't even be tired at the end of a long day. (as long as I didn't get sick, LOL). I still need to talk this over with my Babee, and see what we can work out. I would really like to make this run, I miss you guys, but I need to spend some quality time with Deb, now that we live in two different states, and that does eat up the vacation time. Brad, did the stick really hurt? Reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8eFRaZvKxA You do know that Jalapeno comes from New Mexico, LOL. Anyway, I'm still thinking of this run, but know the reality is, I will probably be sitting here, working, and watching anxiously for posts and pictures of whats going on up there, wishing I was there. | ||
| F_skinner |
Bart, the choice is obvious. You and Deb will be missed but do not miss each other. Frank | ||

I am having some issues at home with out pet rabbit. So I have not been able to research or plan any dinner plans. My nights have been pretty hectic. If anyone has a few min and could take a look at the area and find a place that maybe able to handle our ruckus group it will be much appriciated. I will call and make the arrangments but the finding is the part I am not able to do right now. Thanks | ||

i figure about 22 hr to do the 1300+ miles from Breaux Bridge,La to Christmas, Mi. i will probably leave on thurs morning. early night friday for sure for me. head back sunday early afternoon and take 23 to get back. new tires prior to leaving this time! tim | ||

I`ve got some good dinner plans for that area,across the street from the motel is a place called Foggys,good food and bar.West about 10 mi. is a cool looking place,and south west about 10 mi. I know a great bar that has very good food,not just bar food.Also in Munising are a couple of interesting spots.I have also looked into a couple 100-150 rides that have interesting food/bar options as well. | ||
| Bartimus |
Foggys steakhouse and lounge has some decent reviews, not sure if it can handle a large crowd or not. anybody able to drive up there and check out some locations? Frank, Thank you for your support. Times have been tough since the move, and quality time is very sparse lately. (Message edited by bartimus on February 10, 2011) | ||
