I haven't heard any arguments against. So, I vote for Kalispell.

We haven't? Well then let me jump in and suggest Everett, Washington. We could stay at Kris's place and he could cook and clean up after us.


The arguments for this location are;

Our rides would be around his block several times while gunning our throttles so we could get to meet his neighbors.

It would be cheap for everyone, including Kris as he wouldn't have to ride far, save on gas, and no one would have to pay for a motel. Plus most of us wouldn't have to lift a hand to help.

Kris could do some fishing ahead of time (we know he loves to fish) for our meals so that would be a win/win (cheaper and fun). If they aren't biting he could round up a shovel to scrape up some local roadkill (we know he loves to hunt).

We would also have plenty to do...we could ride a few blocks to 1-5 and play the alphabet game or just count VW bugs! Or we could ride to the local ball field to watch Kris umpire a game and practice his TV umpiring moves...I can see us in the stands holding up our rating signs 8.5, 9.5, 7.0,etc

I think these are pretty convincing arguments and now bump Kalispell down to #2!

Well...I live in what I would term a multi-cultural neighborhood...but there ARE a couple guys who would fire up their rides to join us (that is if you're all cool with a couple HD guys hornin' in....)

As far as lifting a hand to help....my wife tells me all the time how I don't do that...so you will definitely fit in there Accomodations might be trickier...but I do have an extra room, a couple sofas, 6 nice bar stools and a big wet bar everyone could snuggle up to ;) Uhhhh....forget I said that.

I guess I shouldn't tell anyone what a fabulous cook my wife is! That woman could cook every night of the week for two solid months and never cook the same thing twice... ! On second thought....forget I said that too....

Heck...I would LUV numbers like that.... . All I ever get from the parents are 2.5 to 3.5. Funny thing is....none of them ever want to help out when I offer them an extra blue shirt...

Arguments maybe....convincing....hhhhmmm....maybe not so much. I will of course as NW Region Leader take it under advisement, but my guess is the real boss (and we all know who that is) would use her secret veto power. You know the one...where the seas don't part... ;)...and I hate when that tool comes out of the shed.... :-[

Darn...shot down again by more convincing argument...I guess that is why I am the assistant and you are the boss.....I know, I know....wax on-wax off Grasshopper!
