I am getting excited about the next Gathering. I will take a look at the head count and order the timing covers appropriately. I am taking a way out of Colorado I have never traveled and it will be highway 50. I am checking for interesting stuff along the way. The map is a little misleading as we will not hit the Interstate at all and will be taking back roads to get down to 50.  We are hoping that Lynn has a teaching gig soon, she interviews tomorrow. Summers off for her so she will join me on this one. | ||

I would commit, except with my current job I make travel plans and cancel them just as easily. I really do not have much of a choice. When it gets closer, I can better commit. I realize that this will place me in a tent somewhere out of walking distance but that is the best I can do. Hope to make it and see everyone. | ||

I was trying to think of a cool name for the event like people did for the other ones. Jay came up with Roundup in the Rockies and someone coin the Texas S2 Step and our own Spiderman came p with Christmas in July. Anyone have any ideas?????..... assuming Loren does not mind. | ||

...I was trying to think of a cool name for the event like people did for the other ones I've been working on a shirt design for the one I'm helping Butch put on here in NY in 2013, and have been thinking about the same item! Butch, Do you have any thoughts on this? The only one that I've thought of so far (to steal (ahh, I mean HONOR, yeah, that's it!)from Frank and Jay) is.... "Empire Roundup". | ||

Frank, Make a stop to see Brutus. http://www.bigbrutus.org/about.html For an event name I considered Beaver and Buells, An S2 Gathering but figure some of you guys would get the wrong idea. If someone has something clever I'm open to it, but I also like building on our very short traditions and calling it a Roundup.....An S2 Gathering Loren | ||

Neil, I'm almost positive I can make this one. I'll get a room if any are still available and we can split it. Carl can't go (summer classes) so I'm going solo if you don't go. | ||
| Zenbiker |
Yes Brad, that would be great. I will plan on it! | ||

Here are my "ideas": Obliterating the Ozarks - An S2 Gathering Oddities in the Ozarks - A Buell S2 Thunderbolt Convocation Unwinding the Ozarks - An S2 Roundup Obsolete in the Ozarks - A Buell S2 Roundup Ostracized in the Ozarks - A Buell S2 Thunderbolt Roundup ...or any combination thereof...

Obsolete Oddballs Obliterate the Ozarks... | ||

I wanted to come up with something that conveyed the sound and started with an O but am coming up empty. How 'bout "Shattering the Ozarks - A Buell S2 Thunderbolt Roundup". Seems like a bit too many characters.... | ||

Old School in the Ozarks? Thunderbolts in Arkansas? S2s in the (is there an order that the states joined?) (Message edited by Sportyeric on January 10, 2012) | ||

Here`s mine-The S2 Ozark Mountain Daredevil Roundup. Or OMD S2 RU | ||

@ Bluesboy: I had considered "Ozark Mountain Buell-Devils" as well! HBJ  P.S. Where's Blake in all this fol-de-rol? He may not be lucky enough to own an S2, but he does have a tuber and doesn't live too far away from the Gathering site. Plus, he still has my "throw-away" video camera!  | ||
| Hootowl |
I have a tentative maybe from him. | ||
| Road_thing |
Maybe we could pick him up in Kilgore. It wouldn't be much out of our way... rt | ||
| Buellerthanyou |
We could threaten to hit him with sticks... | ||
| Road_thing |
As a general rule of thumb, I make it a point not to hit people who are much younger and larger than myself. YMMV. rt | ||
| Blake |
I really wanna make the event. But if Jay shows, I'll be too ashamed, on account of I do still have his camera that I was supposed to send to him years ago. Geesh, I'm an absent minded jerk. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Blake, if you attend, I might get to meet you! Going to try to make this event! | ||

Hello! I just got turned on to this event from the Quickboard. I'm moving to NW Arkansas and it looks like the timing couldn't be better. Please add 1 on a KLR to this event. | ||

Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to mercilessly goad a couple of friends into abandoning all hope and rising to the challenge of riding rather than trailering. So far I've got the following pearls of wisdom:
Plus some wise words from great men (with inspiration from HellBuelly Jay): I will not by the noise of trailers and the driving of SUV's advance you to glory: but by the Buellish ways of riding to lean. - Thomas Trabuellerne Help me out here Frank! | ||

 I think I can get a good facial image for a "Blake-cicle"... rt | ||
| Hootowl |
A demon-blake-cicle. Could take turns riding and driving the chase vehicle. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
I'm in for sure now! | ||
| Slowride |
Frank, I have ridden that way into Colorado from Kansas. There is some interesting roadside attractions that way. One of them being a crazy cutout sign garden with a very opinionated theme. There was also a great privately American owned motel we stayed at in the Colorado portion. I will pull up some of the pictures and get some details on them and post em up for ya. | ||

The curse of the demon-blake-cicle must not be mocked else the spectre of the fractured oil pump drive gear materialize. | ||

Tom, that better not be the S2! | ||

 Tell me that's an old photograph from many years ago... | ||

That was the blowup that caused me to bring my S1 to the gathering in Leakey in 2010. Fixed now, many thousands of dollars later... Documented here. rt |
