I hear ya man.
In my work I tend to fly at the last minute alot of the time and I can't always get the direct flight to FL. Last time I had to go down I had to connect in Houston on the way down and Minneapolis on the way back. Even with short layovers it still took all day to get there. What a waste of time.

I still voting for a KawaNOW cruise in '09

Since you mentioned it. . . http://www.cruise-eta.com/motorcyclecruise.htm

Love to be able to go to the western rally but....bush says I'm not allowed to enter the States. Apparently I'm a criminal. 1984 I got busted with a joint. Oh well, till I get this matter cleaned up...maybe some day I will meet some of you here in Canada. John

I'll be there if I have to ride behind BD or on a skateboard!!!

Yeah, when my dad fell ill, I tried to get a flight out of Des Moines, and they wanted $1,028 round trip to LaGuardia, so I drove 5 hours to Chicago and got a round trip flight for $250. Last minute stuff in secondary hubs stinks.

???DETAILS ???DETAILS ???

As I'm on my way to work this morning & don't have time to read thru 24 pages on this thread, so......where is this shin-dig taking place. I got the Mesquite Nevada part & June 19-21 works for me too. What is the name of the Hotel? Is there a reservation code I need when making reservations? The ride thru Zion Park sounds outstanding.
Right now, I plan on riding out from Sacramento CA. on I-80, over Donner Summit & down toward Las Vegas. I will do a map-quest route when we get closer to JUNE. I do plan on having the wife drive the pickup towing my flatbed trailer, JUST IN CASE. (the trl is 16' long & can handle 3-4 bikes.) This will be the first long ride I've taken in almost 40 yrs. I just don't know about riding long distance in the Nevada desert in the late June heat.

Redeye,

Been meaning to let you know I've decided to make this rally. There will be two of us (2 bikes) riding two up and you're welcome to join us. We'll be taking 89 through the Sierras to 395 staying the 1st night in Bishop, 2nd in Las Vegas. After the rally we're heading up to Bryce 1 night, Cedar Breaks 1 night, Tonapah NV 1 night, Yosemite 1 night, and back up through the Gold Chain. 7 nights, 8 days. Come along if ya can...... Let me know and I'll make reservations where needed for us.

If you haven't already I would encourage everyone to start reserving rooms. Expedia has already gone up 50 bucks on 2 nights and mesquite has been known to sell out. When I was in the marines I was driving up from Camp Pendleton one summer weekend and I was going to meet my wife in mesquite for the weekend and every hotel was booked and we ended up staying in St. George.

Alright I'm going for it. I booked a room. Still haven't confirmed time away from work, but I don't exactly punch a clock so it shouldn't be a problem.
Hope to see you all there!

right on bro!

Virginia river hotel and casino right down the road cost half of the casablanca. $28 and $39 per night! It's on pioneer rd. less than a mile away??

And the Oasis is across the street from the Casablanca. St. George is 40 miles North and Vegas is 80 miles South.

By that time in June I am wanting to get out of the heat so I am planning on going North for the Elko Motorcycle Rally. Does sound like a fun ride if I did not have other plans.
