I am working on the attendies list. Unfortunately I can't attach the file but I will work on it and get it up ASAP. It is too large for an attachment.

Seems the size limit on this site is far less than a couple others I frequent. Maybe I am wrong, but I continually am not able to attach some files that I don't think are all that big (compared to the norm).

Maybe the Admin can give you more capability for the rally Joel... who knows?

The file is over 230 kb and the limit is something like 25 kb so it is over. I did send Mike an email so we shall see what happens. By the way, nice to spend 4 hours moving snow around today. We have around 14 inches standing but don't know how much melted when it started.

[Sin City Stan]

Joel, it's about 70 today. You should have stuck around another week. :D

[nomadtom69]

Thought Trip had a pdf file on here somewhere with the ones attending

That size of file isn't that big in my book. Heck a decent spreadsheet is going to be that big of a file.

It must cost more for capacity to allow for larger files... or something.

If you have a Mac, you could try to save it as a pdf-file and post it...

Oh well...

Or Joel could just go back and finish High School....so he doesn't have to ask his kids how to open an email.....:lmao::lmao::P!

[haygrrr]

Being a newbee here, What kind of attendance do you get at these rallies? or does it vary depending on location? I've had a trip planned to ride solo out to Des Moines right before the rally and think I could swing over for a few days. It's probably a 700 mile day to get there. Hoping I can catch a group to ride with.

The rallies vary....depending on if they are Regional or National. The National is every other year, so Regionals are during the off year. This year is a National Rally, so I would expect well over 100 people in attendance at Estes Park...just a guess. They are all a great time and for sure you will find people to ride with!

There is a group meeting in Lincoln, NE for the ride to the National. Some of those folks will be coming through Des Moines.

Ck this out.

Right now there are about 115 people attending. Once I figure out how to put the file up you can see who's going.

Oh well...

The 250 kb is as a pdf. I may try to do something else or find someone who has access to storage and utilize that.

[jendesigner]

You could open a Drop Box account, it is free. https://www.dropbox.com/ They allow a public folder that you can upload the pdf to. Also create a public link that anyone, even those with out Drop Box, can open the pdf.

I did the last pdf to my own Drop Box to show you how it can work.

Thanks Jay. Didn't know about drop box. I have a cloud drives but that didn't work. I will get that posted tonight.

The name is Jen but your welcome anyway :-) Drop Box comes in handy for a lot of things, more so then my Cloud account. Can upload or send links from my Phone app, from my iPad or computer.

Your link is not working, did you put it in a public folder? You can make a link to it by right clicking on it to make a link you can paste in the thread. (It may work for you on the site since it's your link.)

Tim. Is it set in stone that you are not going to Estes Park? If I can remember long enough I'll be making reservations for it this weekend. Theses things are every two years, and by the next one happens you'll be 93, and I won't see you unless we hold one in The People's Republic of NY. By that time motorbikes will be banned from the state!:shrug: :shrug:

Thats good news Tim. I'm a little under the weather with some kind of evil cold and trying to finish the work week or I could say something boarding on mindless sarcasm. If I'm fortunate enough to survive this crud, I'll be there.

Also as a follow up, dose this mean the better half won't make it either? She was the life of the Rally and you were kinda like a stick in the mud.:shrug::D

[classic1]

Jeez! I recon that I have to add me and Sheila's name to the list of SE Region members that are not going. Some other stuff has come up and we can't make it. Maybe one of these days we can make one of the National Rallies.

Mike, I will be there. Maybe I can get credit for a SE region attendee along with SC region attendee cause I am going to be in TX and Ark for rallys before heading for Iowa (how aboutr a NC region click also?) to visit daughter and then the National. Heck can I get something for leaving the rally and heading back to NC by way of going to Washington State first????

Unfortunately I'm having to back out of this event due to several issues, not the least of which are some pressing family matters. Hopefully I can meet some more of the members another time.

I hate that Eagle. I know times are tight. Things are what they are. Hopefully in a couple of more years things will be better and more of us can make it to the National Rally. Every two years Christmas comes twice for me.:yep:

[waterman]

Please make sure you check your attendance on the list. If you are coming please give me the information need as to who and how many are coming as well as if you have booked a room at the Rodeway Inn. Also, if you have changed your plans and are not coming please let me know as well. I need to have a fairly good idea of how many for the banquet.

Would you mind waiting until Thursday to release it? I am trying to free up the time to go but won't know for a couple days.

I was hoping the number would be increasing with the warm weather but it is just the opposite. :ohno:

[rickyboy]

And another one bites the dust....
I've sent off an email to Joel letting him know that I've canceled my room at the Roadway Inn. Unfortunately, due to the lack of vacation time I've acquired at work because of the time I've been off on Workers Comp. I'm going to be unable to make the rally. That, along with issues pertaining to my orig. injury back in 2010 it makes it more and more difficult for me to spend long stretches/days in the saddle of the Nomad. And taking breaks every 2 hours to stretch and walk about isn't conducive to an enjoyable trip when you only have so much time. There is also a Workers Comp. tribunal court appearance that I'll likely be making in regards to a medical appeal ongoing, in my claim for disability. That date could be any time now and could fall during the time of the rally.
So like I said, I'm bowing out of this one. I'm disappointed and frustrated that I'll be missing another National Rally. I know that those of you who are going will have a great time. These things always are a hoot. I hope that I'll be able to make the next one. Have a good time and ride safe everyone. :cheers:

[haygrrr]

Threw out my back but they're coordinating my physical therapy so I should be good to ride. Gong to do 200 mile test ride this weekend. Will have to pass on my initial plans for a saddle sore 1000 but I'll still be in Colorado in time.

[cactusjack]

That's a shame, Rick. Too bad you can't make it.

[Blueraven]

Please remove me from the list. Job issues again.

Well, I am still coming. And as a show of spirt I am coming on the Nomad. And if a old fart like me can do it, then all you "on the fence" folks can get off and head for Colorado.
Net, a friend from Colorado is planning the trip west from there. I know we will be in Seatle for a time and we plan to run down to Oregon for a BMW national rally. Beyond that I am hearing that "all will be revealed" when I get to Bolder.

Hey all. Well I think I can attend the National afterall! I have to attend a wedding on the 22nd so I am planning on leaving the 23rd. Not sure if I will ride the 1216 miles in one day or two.


I still have one business issue that I won't know about until the week prior but hopefully it won't fall on that week.

I am only planning on attending Monday and Tuesday nights and will be leaving Wednesday so no Thursday dinner for me.

I made my hotel reservations at the Rodeway accordingly.

If anyone was delaying cancelling their room on my behalf no need to hold out any longer and thank you if you waited.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

[Kawhead]

Damn, I was lookin forward to meeting her to see who in the world has the patience to put up with a guy like you. :DI don't know if my supervisor can get me another day off, so she's staying home with my just graduated daughter as she don't care for the multi-day few hundred mile rides. She's staying, ergo I go. Or being sent!

When we first got Married her Mama spent the weekend with us and brought some vodka with her to make some White Russians. My wife told her to drink what she like but keep it in her room before I got home because she didn't want me to get into it. Mama ask her why, "Dose he get mean and abusive when he drinks?" My wife said, "No, the son of a bitch gets so damn funny I can't stand him!" :D

Mama in law told me that many years after that happened.
I told her that I do have drunken faint memories of seeing her through squinted eyes trying to stifle a laugh, and fight off, or cover, a smile while trying to frown. :D

She don't drink, or allow me to be around other women who drink either!:ohno: What's the worst that can happen?:shrug:

[blowndodge]

Damn, I was lookin forward to meeting her to see who in the world has the patience to put up with a guy like you. :D

[coacha]

Still holding out hope that I may be able to make it. My son had to have surgery on his "good" knee last week after he tore his meniscus. Waiting to see if the school is going to help out on the bill or if it is going to be all me.

I was working to put myself through Divinity School shoveling horse shit in the equestrian stables at a womens college. She impressed with the way she came riding up on that stallion. ... tighten up the reigns and droving her spurs into his side, to brake his spirit. I never wanted to be a horse so bad in all my life.
Ever since that day she's described me as being like a mule kicking around in her stall.:yep:


Anytime you add booze to a anything, theys gonna be a good time!
It's what got me through high school and a honeymoon. :cheers:

[mobandy78]

I've been on the fence about this for quite some time, but I'm going to have to back out. Unfortunately, I will miss the good times and meeting everyone, but things happen and plans just aren't going to work out like I hoped they would. I do have a double room reserved if anyone on the fence needs it. I'm going to call in a few and cancel my reservation. >:

Hopefully, I'll get to meet you all in person some day. Everyone ride safe and have a great time! :cheers:

[trosco]

Hey, I have a Goldwing and Nomad. Just to be fair after last year riding the Goldwing to the SE, SC, NC, SE and NE/EC regional rallies, this year I am taking the Nomad to our National and our SE regional, plus the VROC rally in Eureka Springs, the BMW national in Oregon and WingDing in SC. So it is really about being on two wheels more than which two wheels you are on. Motorcyclists are the best people!

[dshelly]

As for Cruisers, I only have the one Nomad, but If I were to buy another one It would probably be a Honda, or a Victory in that order. As far as what others ride? That doesn't concern me, it's more of how they ride.

Keep the shiny side up and we'll see you all in Estes. :tup: Well, some of you anyway.

:wtf: according to jared the vba is growing rapidly and now has 2400 members.and we have all of 70 vulcans coming to the national rally.we had more then that at the very first rally in 2009 which was held in custer,s.d..at that time we only had maybe 1,000 members.this is
not a good trend considering all the hard work that goes into planning these rallies.oh well,
there's allways next years regional rallies.

Being a member and being an active member, are two very different things. Just look at the forum....for the most part it is the same bunch all the time with a few new guys chiming in here and there.

New members probably feel they would not fit in....but nothing could be further from the truth. I didn't really know anyone when we rolled into the first VBA National in Custer in 2009. In one evening I had a hundred new friends...and a few, like BD, CJ, Joel, Rickyboy, Schoeney, and a number of others, have become like flies on stink....I can't seem to get rid of 'em....:lmao::P:D.

If you enjoy riding your motorcycle...you would love attending these rallies....National, Regional, it matters little....the friendships and good times come fast and easy with this bunch, so if you are on the fence...get the heck off of it and make the trip, you won't be sorry. Besides...I'm sure Schoeney would LOVE for someone else to wash my bike for him this rally season...:lmao::lmao::yep:. God willing and the creeks don't rise, we'll see you in Estes soon ....:tup:!

[coacha]

Our first regional rally was in Elkins. I remember meeting a ton of new people there and then in Custer the following year meeting all of the rest of the folks. I really want to get there this year but it will be on my Beemer cause the KawaTanker has a bent shift fork. Tammy can't come because of some school commitments.

To all the new guys, if it is possible for you to make it, come on out.

There are highs and lows on rallies. By far and away, more members are in the east rather than the west.

[blowndodge]

Joel just happens to be one of the lows :lmao:

[nomadtom69]

So Coach does this mean you are going???? If so when are you going to get to Estes

[dshelly]

Seems to me the two most common things that keep people from rallies are work or the their old lady . In no particular order.

[coacha]

So Coach does this mean you are going???? If so when are you going to get to Estes

Depending on how long I stay in Wichita and when I leave Crystal River will determine when I get there. Right now the plan is to get to Estes Park Sunday night but I may stay longer to visit Jake or get a later start and get there Monday.

[Kawhead]

There are highs and lows on rallies. By far and away, more members are in the east rather than the west.Well, we do have what is at best is described as a sluggish economy and a dam sane rider would sit this one out. :yep: 70 Bagger Scooters is ain't a bad number. Plus the innernet ain't got the best reputation for meeting folks. Its 'a good place to find a date for a quickie but we wouldn't want our daughters out there doing it.:shrug:

But that makes the trip all more exciting doesn't it? If the National was 200 miles from my house, I'd ride 500 miles in opposite direction first. Half the fun is the journey in my view....

[cactusjack]

Those of you who make the effort to attend the rally will not regret it. Getting there is half the fun. It's nice to put faces with names and get to meet others who share a common interest.

I've attended a VBA rally every year since the first in 2008. I really look forward to them every year. Last year, I went to two and I plan to do that again this year. I don't even own a Vulcan anymore and I still attend the rallies.

[dshelly]

Hey Scott I just noticed how many VBA members there are from AZ , but only 3 listed for the Rally. What's up with that? CA isn't much better, only 4. Something nobody's telling me here? :wtf:

You're right. That's pretty low participation, but it's pretty typical. In previous years (before Mark Clark moved to AZ), there would have only been 2 attending from AZ. There are a lot of members in AZ I have never even met. I guess they're staying inside where it's air conditioned and don't come out until October.

He already had a Nomad. :D

[trosco]

If for no other reason, folks should come just to see the guy who's leaving a new Goldwing at home just so he can ride his beat up, lame, 6 year old, high mileage, clunky old Nomad 2,798 miles one way just to be there(NC to AR to TX to IA to CO).
This will be my third National. And my 12th KawaNow/VBA rally. I meet more great folks each time. If you are on the fence about this rally, jump off onto the bike and head for CO.

[usranger74]

At this time it looks doubtful that I will be able to make the National Rally. I work for FEMA on a part time basis and we are very active at the present time. In years gone by I could “protect” 60 days per year where I could not be activated. That is how I have attended past rallies. But, I had to use all of that time after my surgery in January and cannot now “protect” any dates. I am currently working in South Dakota and when I am finished here I am almost sure that I will be sent to OK. As such I am canceling my reservations at the base hotel.

[petenomad]

Hate to hear that Bill, but you are certainly doing important work. Hope to see you sometime this year.

We are gonna miss you....seems like a lot of folks who planned to make it aren't going to...but you have a good reason to miss it if you will be off helping those who need it most. We'll have a snort on your behalf...:tup:!

That's too bad, Bill. I was wondering if you were going to get called to OK after all the tornado damage. I guess you'll be helping folks who really need it.

Sent pm to Waterman and cancelled my room at the Rodeway at Estes in case anyone needs a room. This sucks as I had this planned for a long time and was gonna ride 2up w my oldest son and spend a month seeing this beautiful country of ours. I was also looking forward to meeting you all as I had a great time at Antlers but my wife broke her leg pretty bad a couple of weeks ago w 2 plates and 20 screws to fix it. I thought I could still make it if she was getting round but I gotta take care of my girl. I'm still going to the SE rally and Antlers too and hopefully be able to take a week or 2 trip w my son later in the summer. I hope to make the next national and as many rallies as I can get away with. I hope you guys have a blast and safe travels

I had the pleasure of finally a few phone calls and several PM's meeting him in Antlers. He's a retired NYPD copper and a typical New York City kind of guy if you have ever had the fortune to meet one.

He was going to come anyway in spite of his wifes broken leg. I'm glad better judgment set in.:yep:

I was kinda looking forward to him paying for everything again. He always buys all the food and picks up the bar tab.:cry:

C ya at the SE Rally Manny! :tup:

You know her leg's still gonna be broke then too. Well,,, maybe half as broke.:hmm:

As Kawhead said with the help of a friend (Mike) I will make the rally may have to haul it out and ride there but if that what it takes so be it. Mike only has some many days and that is how it will be . Maybe next time I can take a week to get there and a week to get back and ride all the way.It sucks to get old

[Kawhead]

You're an inspiration to us all!
