Hello All... At long last, I have the final information for the 2010 Southwest Buell Rally! We decided to adjust the dates a bit from our initial plan in order to accommodate the racing schedule of several participants. Therefore, we will now have the rally the weekend of August 27, 28, 29 in Red River, NM ( http://www.redriver.org/ ). Basic plan is to arrive on Friday with optional self-guided rides of the area, group ride Saturday (route to be determined) and then depart for home on Sunday (ideally via the scenic route). Saturday evening, we'll have a group dinner which I'm working on the details of right now. We will be lodging at the Lifts West Condominium Hotel ( http://www.liftswest.com/ ). Our host, Billy Hurst, has arranged a discounted group rate for our group. You can call (505) 754-2778 or (800) 221-1859 to make your reservations. Be sure to let them know you're part of the "Southwest Buell Rally" and you'll get the preferred pricing. (I think it amounts to somewhere between 5% to 10% off the standard rates.) They have hotel room type singles as well as one, two, and three bedroom condos which could work out well for those interested in splitting costs. He quoted me $63 for a single, $130 for a 2BR/2BA condo, or $157 for a 3BR/3BA condo, plus tax. We will have tee shirts and trophies, as always. We have had some rather small turn out the last couple years, so it would sure be nice to get everyone together for a brisk ride through Northern NM and Southern CO. I hope to see you all there!! | ||

Man, that would be great. However, I'll be in Indy. Have fun and take pictures! | ||
| Gowindward |
My GF and I are pulling plans together to make it. Denny, you will be missed. Loren | ||
| Ghostrider |
Just to let everyone know: We're going to have a cover charge, probably $25 per person, to cover the cost of tee shirts and awards. I'll post more when it's firmed up. | ||
| Gowindward |
CJ that sounds fair. I booked our room today at Liftwest. Loren | ||
| Daschunk |
I will be there is well. Should be fun. | ||
| Ghostrider |
I'll start using this thread to keep track of the attendance. So far, this is shaping up to be a really great event. Attendance is already better than last year. Definite CJ & Angela Rodden Anthony Rodden Ed Junker Frank Skinner Lynn Marie Twohig Loren (Gowindward) Dave & Denise Kaminen Bob & Diane Rowledge Kim Pritchard Jody Leavell Murrae Haynes Mabel Chin Brad & Luann Harrah Probable Luis Sanchez-Saturno Adam Fisher Nick Karnezis Russ Graves Possible Art Bartlett Bryan Echelberger Joel Hinkle Dr. Greg Starr Kim Ingraham Bill Conway Tim LaForge Dave Przygocki I think there are a few more probables. I'll get a list from Dave Kaminen about the Denver crowd and have Frank Skinner let me know if he hears confirmations from any other Colorado folks. There's also some interest from Texas. I should have the final design of the tee shirts this week. Hope you guys aren't offended, but it's not going to be a black shirt. We all have too many of those already!

Is it going to be Blue? | ||
| Ghostrider |
Well, it isn't set yet, so if you wanna vote, that's fine. In the end, it'll be what I order.  | ||
| Ghostrider |
I guess I made a typo on the phone number for Lifts West. The number is (575) 754-2778. I had the wrong area code. Sorry about that. I'm sure the (800) number is correct. | ||
| Carbonfibrebob |
CJ, we're in. Count two more. Bob | ||

I need to get a good count on how many tee shirts we need, too. Please RSVP and let me know you'll be attending and how many shirts you need. Thanks! | ||

ok, So I think I have successfully talked the other half into going. So go ahead and count me in for the "definite" group | ||
| Ghostrider |
Sweet! Unfortunately, the forum rules won't allow me to update the post up there anymore. But I gotcha. | ||
| Daschunk |
New post with the updated info? | ||
| Ghostrider |
OK, got two more couples from Colorado confirmed via Dave Kaminen. This puts us up to sixteen bikes at least. I think there are a few people dragging their feet about RSVPing. | ||
| Ghostrider |
Also firmed up Nick Karnezis and his wife, both riding. I'm pretty sure that puts us at 20 bikes and as many as 26 people. | ||
| Daschunk |
We can add a maybe for Bradley (Ridesinnm) and his wife. Talked to him at the track on Saturday and he said that he was going to try and make it for at least part of the day. | ||
| Agfish18 |
I have also spread the word on the Buell XB forum and have roughly 4 or 5 other possibles. some from TX some from CO and one from WY http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Group-Buell-Motorcycle-Meetings/SW-Buell-Rally (Message edited by agfish18 on July 28, 2010) | ||
| Daschunk |
20 bike for sure and another 6 to 8 possibles. I am liking this so far. | ||
| Ghostrider |
I put a post up on BuellXB forum. We'll see what we get out of that. | ||

Julie and I are in!  Count one more Buell and two more Buellers. Frank - What's your attack plan?  Hey, Carbonfibrebob: Do you have a route planned to get to Salida on that Friday? | ||
| Buellhusker |
I am planning on making the trek from North East Nebraska, so hope to see ya there. | ||
| Buellhusker |
I need some help on selecting a non interstate (you know senic, lots of curves) route from Denver to Red River. I am planning to stop in Denver yo see my son for a day or two or until he boots me out. | ||
| Ghostrider |
Try this route from Denver to Red River: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=D enver,+CO&daddr=US-285+S+to:37.85317,-105.328674+t o:Red+River,+NM&geocode=FRJfXgIdgQ---SnPFx8jqoBrhz HWNoon-PSOEQ%3BFeSFUgIdOiyv-Q%3B%3BFfUeMAIdXKG3-Sm XWSkp9hUXhzFBfKOSbIbcgQ&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp= 2&sz=9&via=1,2&sll=37.877021,-105.323181&sspn=1.51 3219,2.469177&ie=UTF8&ll=37.40071,-105.394592&spn= 1.522951,2.469177&t=h&z=9 Not at all direct, but definitely will have some curves. | ||

Buellhusker, We live up in Silverthorne, about an hour west of Denver, and will be heading down on Friday morning. Still waiting to hear from a couple of others before we decide on our route, but the more the merrier! Right? I think! No wait, yah!  | ||
| Carbonfibrebob |
Hey Jeff and Jim, The Denver clan will be leaving RMH-D around 8:30 Friday morn, 105 south to Monument, the slab through the Springs, 115 south to 50, west through Canon City to lunch in Salida. After lunch, we may head back east on 50, just because it is so much fun, to Texas Creek, south on 69 to Walsenburg, west on 160 over La Veta to Ft Garland, 159 south to Questa, NM, then east to Red River. Email me - rowbilt at msn daht kham - and we'll get together and have some good, clean hydrocarbon burning fun. Bob | ||

Man I had no idea you guys were doing this. I haven't been on the badweb in forever. I thought this ended with the last one @ Santa Fe H.D. in 05. I will definitely be there next year. Is it possible to purchase a shirt anyway? | ||
| Ghostrider |
Yeah, it is. Ping me with your name, address, phone number, and I'll send you the info on where to send the payment. I'll then mail you the shirt. Let me know what size you want. By the way, I need sizes for the rest of you. If you haven't already sent it to me, you are very close to getting whatever I have available. Reply soon! | ||
| Buellhusker |
Buellhusker needs an XL or XXL |
