I hope so too. I'm going to 2 VBA rallies for sure and 90% for 2 more. I'm hoping to make it a great year of riding.

Who said you can't attend? Anyone can attend any rally that the VBA sponsors. You just have to show up with whatever bike you ride and bring the proper offering to the regional leader and his asst. leaders. In the case of the SE region, that would be Gentleman Jack or Crown Royal.

Everything he said is true except the part I made in bold print.
You are new here so I clarified the post as you may not understand the ball bustin and jokin around that goes on on this site at times

I went in to work this morning, and the other guy in my department (there's only two of us) had already put in for vacation for June 15-21 to go on a cruise

. They won't let both of us off at the same time, and vacation is first come, first serve, so I'm hoping that the rally will be one of the other choices. I sure was looking forward to attending.

Well that sucks

Talk to the other guy and see if he can rearrange his schedule.
If he says he can't, offer him money, we will take up a collection

I don't think there is any amount that would get him to rearrange, not only is it him and his wife, but his in-laws, brother-in-law with wife, and sister-in-law with husband. I personally wouldn't want to be with all the IN-LAWS!

I don't know Cliff, going on a cruise with a group like that he may be lookin for a way out

trosco · 12-22-2013, 03:46 PM

Right now it looks like the week of 15-21st is leading poll. I can make that work. Will probably be in my rain gear a bit between this one and the NC/SC in Ark the following week. But maybe I will shrink!!! Thats a comforting thought!

ManBan: saw you signed for Ark and Orifino. Way cool dude I am in for them. Have a visit with daughter in Iowa and a GoldWing rally in Wisconsin between Ark and Idaho but mayhap we be able to do some of the ride from WV to Ark together.

Has the date been set in stone yet? If so which week is it?

**nomadtom69** · 01-09-2014, 10:01 PM

if it would help everyone I could change my vote to June 8-14 that gives most the chance to make it and still attend other rallys if they chose

I would like it to be on a week when Cliff and Diana could attend but I really wish you guys would make a decision one way or the other.

**nomadtom69** · 01-10-2014, 08:36 PM

I know what you mean Tim my wife retires last of May and we have a trip planned out west would like to attend the Rally before we leave

**Kawhead** · 01-11-2014, 02:21 AM

Hey, I just had a kick ass idea!
How 'bout a two week rally?

**coacha** · 01-14-2014, 12:13 PM

If you want to open up a short window of discussion on changing the date to a week earlier or later, that is fine. I am talking to hotels now so we would have to come up with a stone cold lock by end of the week or Monday at the latest.

I apologize for not being on for the last few days. Been dealing with a ton of stuff both professionally and personally lately. I will do my best to get this all tied up quickly.
