You can tell Jer is a city boy. He can't keep his shit straight. That is pig manure he is smelling!

:roll: :crackup :haha2:

And, yes, I CAN tell the difference.....having shoveled more than my share in my younger days!

Sarris, Jonathan and Infectus can dress up like their favorite Hello Kitty characters or whatever it is that they're into this week. And Jer can kick his own ass, to save everyone some time.

Oh, man.....that is just BEAUTIFUL!
Too fracking funny! :crackup :haha2:

I love this Rally idea.
There is one that the Rebel guys organize twice a year (I think) in Tenessee.
Seems like we have more "old farts" who might not be into the "twisties" so much so a slightly flatter venue might be better.
I'm not opposed to Iowa....or Missouri maybe.

However it turns out, you'se guys on the left coast are gonna be in the worst position, riding wise......or maybe best depending on your perspective. I'm guessing a ride from LA to central Missouri will take 4 days, minimum, that's avoiding interstates......and some LONG days.

Getting everybody at one time might not be practical. If we forget those frutis and nuts on the west coast, maybe southern Indiana would work. There's a casino in Evansville!!
Maybe the west "branch" could go to Vegas.

Busyweb could do a live broadcast from the Chicken Ranch.

(It's no Evansville, but what're you gonna do.)

You guys get the thing organized, and at least one fruity nut will show up. Maybe I'll have a "real" bike by then. :whistle:

[Jer]

Yeah.

Flat = Iowa. Not as flat as Nebraska but certainly elevation challenged.

And should I start kicking my own ass now????

Hey- Alan, you stole my idea, but did a much better job.
Yesterday on another topic, another thread, I said;

"Another problem (not really) is that this forum is addicting. There are many of us who keep checking it a few times a day to see what's happening and are very involved in seeing what's going on and talking to and helping other members on here, who have all become a new close circle of friends. Too bad we all can't get together and meet somewhere and just have a big party. Like going to summer camp for a week or two."

This would be a great idea, a miniature Sturgis, just for us. We either need a big park to camp out in, or the whole floor of a Holiday Inn or Best Western or whatever's out there. Wherever it winds up, some local has to coordinate and make all the arrangements, which is his price to pay for not having to ride so far to get to the party. We need a planning committee for events, bike seminars, etc, or just to arrange a place to meet. By the time this actually could come off, many of us newbies would have enough miles on our butts to make a long trip like this. I think there are at least 4 or 5 of us from Florida that could meet up somewhere and travel together for the security that brings. (Or go together in one car). Keep up the talk and let's see what happens.

[Dupo]

No, that map thing doesnt have a mid point finder. We'd have to agree on something that 'most' could get to.

I vote Virginia. nor-easterners and florida-ites mid point and about the same ride/drive for midwestern states. You west coasters are phucked i guess :neener:

[alanmcorcoran]

Maybe Sarris would let us borrow his trailer.

[Sarris]

Yo Alan;

I don't own a trailer, Butthole.

:redflip:

Alan,
I think your suggestion is brilliant, and the awards top notch. That's what I am trying to do on a more local level here in the Republic of Texas. I have but one suggestion, why reinvent the wheel. There is an organization, headquartered in Hutchinson, KS, which already does exactly what you propose. What's even better, everyone on this forum rides a qualifying bike. Check out www.fssnoc.org. That stands for Four Stroke Singles National Owners Club and they have a gathering in different parts of the country three time each year, one in the East, one in the Central and one in the West. If anyone wants to join, tell them Ron # 4914 sent ya. This might be the answer to your proposal for a GZ gathering.
