Thanks for doing that GIBBY! It would be nice to get a head count.

We are still 3-months away... maybe when we get closer a final call for attendance will be made.

It was just a suggestion.

**glwilson** · 03-12-2012, 08:05 AM

I wasn't "jumping" on anyone's "case" with my comment; but was rather just saying we already know who has committed to attending at this point...

UPDATED MARCH 12TH

1. Biscuits-N-Gravy
2. Rayski
3. Gibby
4. Dmac 2-up
5. Stretch
6. Rasta
7. Jestepens, and his father
8. Bluekaw
9. Jendesigner
10. myself (glwilson) 2-up
11. Cal
12.

There were a couple others that expressed interest in attending that were from Indiana; and we haven't heard from Cal yet either. This list also doesn't include any guests; which some mentioned there might be a couple (who are welcome).

As mentioned, I expect there will be around 10-15 bikes, with 15-20 people...

jendesigner · 03-12-2012, 08:10 AM

Add my name to the list.

Let's see... you were a member about 10-digits before me in 2008... and you are now up to an incredible 52 posts!!!

But then again... when you speak "American Indian" you don't have to speak much...

I just about crack-up every time I think about you doing that down in Maggie Valley! Now that's funny stuff... I don't care who you are!

Finally, finally.

Finally settled in - moved the business 6 mo ago, moved the residence last month.

Finally - got onto JP Cycle to get some needed accessories ordered.

Finally - getting around to putting down some cash for a member upgrade.

Finally - made the time to figure out the timing of the rally and decided to make my reservations AND... left my wallet at work.

Will try again tomorrow.

Finally - the glacier behind my shop should be thawed enough to ride the Nomad up out of the basement tomorrow.

I'm ready to get riding.

My hope is to meet up with the group in Savannah but work will dictate. Short of that I'm definitely shooting for 2 nights in PDC.

Nice job on the brochure, by the way. -Cal

Sounds like you have been busy Cal!! Glad you chimed-in and will likely show. I am adding you to the list for the added peer-pressure to show!!

1600bluekaw · 03-15-2012, 10:34 PM

Dmac- All that injun talk looks like smoke coming out of your ears. LOL
gibby- I have been riding for the last 2 weeks. Today it was 78* lots of sunshine.
glwilson - Count me in you know I will be there & riding a NOMAD.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in June.

cbutteris · 03-18-2012, 09:21 PM

Plans are taking shape here and got my reservations done. I'll meet up with the group on Friday morning in Savanna. !

Riding by myself Friday and Debbie will be joining me in PDC on Friday night.

Looking forward to it!

**biscuitsngravy** · 03-24-2012, 10:42 PM

Will be good to see everyone! The WX has been so nice I've been able to get out and ride to get the ol' butt in shape for the long rides this summer. I rode to Omaha and back last Saturday. (over 300 miles round trip.) I've never ridden in such a fierce wind. It was coming from the south and while going east it was a real trial just to keep from choking by my helmet chin strap. Going north was EASY!

I rode into Ft. Dodge today and the day was perfect. The purr of that V-Twin was music to my ears. Lots of bikers out today. I coulda drove "clean outta sight" but supper was waiting.

Again, looking forward to seeing you all again.

Hey Dave,
Great to hear from you. Have you been riding that ultra cool Drifter this spring? Looking forward to seeing you and everyone at the Rally. I have also been doing a little riding this spring having logged almost 2,000 miles so far. It is 39 degrees this morning so I get to try out my new Tour Master heated jacket liner. We went from mild winter to May like weather in the course of a couple of days. I ride the Mississippi River Valley quite frequently and there are thousands of bikes out regularly now. I am once again a happy man

Heated gear in 39˚ weather?
