I'm thinking about it depending on location and whether I can get the time off work. (At the rate this past month has been going, I may not need to ask for time off.)

I'm always thinking of attending the rallies. Really want to do this one.
Long way off and a lot of things have to come together to make it work, but Sue and I would really like to attend (although she doesn't know it yet) :tehe::tehe::tehe:.

I have my room booked. Hoping to attend this on.
I thought about flying $1400. round trip for two and renting a HD at $169. a day and motel 4-500 = more then I want to spend.
If I buy a voyager maybe we will ride:shrug:

Cindy and I are booked.
I'm riding the Nomad out and back.
She is riding her 900 LT out and back.
So, what is your excuse for not riding out again Lar http://www.vulcanbagger.com/forums/images/icons/icon55.gif
It's a thought and I would love to visit that part of the world.... but!!!! I would have to take at lest 2 weeks off for this one, over 3500 miles round trip... we'll see. And Larry, I've been thinking of changing my "underware" also.... for a C14, we'll see :-))

We don't have iron butts and Elaine only has 18 days vacation for the year and she is using 5 days the third week of September.

does a c14 has a radio ???

No, but it will, if I change the ride to a Concours 14...... I like to play with my toys :) then again I love my nomad and I would never get the $ back that I put into it... I guess I'll be riding her for a few more years... Actually, If I do this ride I'll head up to Calgary after the rally, meet up with friends that lives up there and spend some time riding the Canadian Rockies... may fly my girlfriend up and kill two birds with one stone type thing... just the to and from milage would be 5000 miles!!!! now that sounds like a plan or what!!!!!
I have the same problem as you Larry, well sort of. There is no way I can go with Cheryl or she would pretty much use up all here vacation for this one trip. She enjoyed the regional so much there is no way I could go with out her either.:shrug:

Hey my girly works for our man toys.:yep:

Well it is couldn't and wouldn't. I get to go off and have fun quite often when she can't get away, but that is a few days here, a week there etc.
I figure 3 weeks would be about the right amount of time to go to the National.

At this point I'm planning on attending, would like to hook up with other riders, rather than
to make a trip like that alone. I've been to Ohio and back alone, so I know I can do it.
But company is always nice.

As larry mentioned, I have time issues, but it is not completely out of the question yet, just not probable.
Sly is also considering it.

My girlfriend said I could go...... so I think I will...... but she wants to go to the beach in Cuba.....sounds like a "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" deal. She gets sun, I get to see the rockies on my bike and bonus, cheap rum when she gets back!!!!! hummmmmmm got to find a seat that will make me butt comfy for 6000 km!!!

This from the fella that wants to trade in for a Voyager.....

I've been wanting to say this for a long time " I'm retired and on a fixed income"
Sly, how many weeks holiday do you plan to use for the National?
:hmm:

No more Bus Larry?
Don't know why they call it fixed income, I wasn't making enough before I retired and now it is less. I hardly call that fixed.:ohno:

2.... and lots of air loose miles... 4 days to go, the time of the rally and the rest of the time to come home.... Still in the "I'm thinking about" stage....

The northeast group usually talk on the open forum. If you want someone to ride with to the National, there are a couple of people headed out there, Tomm from N.H. and Top Cat from upstate N.Y. You should contact them and see if they are riding straight to the rally or have other interest they plan on doing along the way. Both great people. If you wish to go through different states check with other riders from the other regions and see what their plans are.
