2011 KawaNOW Rallies

Netnorske · 02-12-2011, 03:51 PM

With Spring just around the corner, I wanted to encourage all of the members here who have not already made plans to attend one (or both) of the two KawaNOW Rallies planned for this summer to really consider doing so. Now is the time to start making your plans (ie: reservations, travel routes/partners, etc).

If you are a new member or are only a lurker here....please feel welcome! You will have more fun than you thought possible when you get together with a bunch of like-minded riders who share a common bond. I have attended three KawaNOW rallies, two regional's and the first National in 2009...and had an absolute blast at each one of them.

Part of the fun is the journey to and from the rally, getting to see new places and meeting up with other members along the way. The other part is getting to meet the people in person you talk to or read on here. In any event, there is little I look forward to more than getting away from home for a week and rolling the Nomad toward a gathering of many other Nomads....

!

These rallies are not the kind your local outlaw bikers would appreciate, but laid back affairs where we ride, eat, drink, chat, then ride some more...all with a great deal of respect for each other and the people around us. We encourage everyone...members, wives, GF's...BFF'S.....all are welcome to attend and enjoy.

With one rally on the East coast and one on the West coast....most members should be within a two or three day ride to get to one or the other. I know Todd and his peeps are working hard on plans for the "National" in Maggie Valley, NC. Me and mine are doing the same for the "Rally in the Redwoods" in Crescent City, CA. Trip is kicking back enjoying the luxury of delegating (probably while taking a puff off a spendy cigar and a sip of some sacred Tequila), but then, rank does have it's privileges...

That's right! Now sit down and "shut the....... front door"!!! ;)

I'm trying to do both rally's Kris, and Scott. I guess we'll see who the real keen'er is at the end of the season.

I'm planning the National unless something comes up. Looking forward to it.

From what I see right now it looks like I won't be able to make it! :-[ And it's so close to where I live...
I'll probably be on my way back from Deadwood, SD. while you are having fun.
Damn... I really don't want to miss it...

Got vacation picks taken care of at work and will be able to do the Rally in the Redwoods and the July ride to Canada with Netnorske and a few others.

But, I am just 6 lucky numbers away from being able to ride whenever I want.

I can't believe I just read that! And on Valentines day to boot!!! LOL

And just for the record...I had planned to attend one if not both rallies, now with the new year it looks like I might not be able to. I'm crossing my fingers that luck will swing (back) my way! :)
