Scrapegoat should be there this year, so put him in with me. |
I'm sure. Just don't ask me to drink 14 shots of Capt 100 in 2 hours or less and I'll be fine.
|
Or take your whale off roading! Lol
|
Wait till Uma sees what you said about her!! OMG

Now I can be persuaded to give expert opinion either in favor or against ebbs there LOL

Has anyone else reserved? I got a call back after my reservation and the guy, Ned, Jed, whomever says no other TWFix people have called in? If you are reserving be certain to tell them who your with. PM me your reservation name so I can track who all is in...
|
Im gonna wait until the week before to decide if I go, not gonna make a reservation
|
I really will be last minute on if I can go now. I got let go from my job in Dec and I'm going to start back to school in the spring too. I'll have to see if I have money and time to go.
|
I think my father is going to call in a reservation tomorrow.
|
Forgot to mention It'll be my father, his friend, and I. I know the room for my father and I is set. Not sure if Mike has setup a room yet.
|
Man I still really want to go. It is 12h - 20m, and 720 miles.
The Honda scares me on that long of a trip though. Maybe if I can grab another bike by then. Or even have a dealer have a good once over on the viff. Im just scared to be driving through butt fuck Mizzou and break down. As much as I want to go I might just hold off and do the southern rally.... |
Hell I think 5th gens have worse electrical horrors. Luckily Ive only dealt with the occasional light not coming on. Crossing my fangers for a good trip.
|
I hate to outright bail but I may just commute from my house (an hour away) if we dont get some more on board for the weekend. My wife's medical bills are piling up and I may only stay Saturday night as it is. I already have reservations but would be willing to swap my queen for a twin room...Wife doesnt wanna ride that far into her pregnancy, so she will likely stay home.
|
Cave & I are coming for sure... I just worked the miles, along with a stop to see a friend in Kansas City, Missouri.
I think we will head south thurs afternoon, and stop in St Louis for the night. Then hd the rest of the ride Friday to ES, AK. Leave sunday from ES, stay in KC, MS, then head to chicago via 35 to 80 in Des Moines, IA. Rolling back into town tuesday by lunch. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...753418&t=h&z=6 What is the booking info for the hotel??? |
|
Will check it out tomry on pc.
|
When I call do I need to tell them anything?
|
Just that you are with the TWFix Spring Rally...

Don't worry marko sweetie... you will be in my bed big boy... grrr :lol |
Wow. Even having met GM a few times, that statement makes me wonder...
:lol: |
What's the head count so far?
|
Quote:

Count me and Scrapegoat out. With everything that's going on in regards to our pay some life circumstances are going to be a little more dire for both of us than planned, knocking this trip off the list of possibles. Sorry, I really wanted to come and he did too.

Head Count?

We have you and Caveman Rangescott and Dad + friend Me (prego wife is out and I will likely have a wingman) Porkchop if an iffy possible maybe and Derf says he will wait till the week before. Who else? |
Really? That sucks...
I think Ebbs should be required to come. |
Word. Dude is doing a service tho, working with the Special Olymipcs that weekend. Or was that participating? I am not sure.
I may have a friend or two tag along with us, maybe even spend the night. Most of my usual riding buds are doing a track day that weekend. My birthday is Friday and the family want to do something for me. So I guess I will come up early early Saturday. What is everyone's itenerary? Getting there for Friday night or Saturday? Riding Saturday and Sunday and returning Monday? |
Yeah that weekend is a no go... however, I may be able to make an appearance if ya'll are still around Monday as I'll be driving through on my way to Oregon. (I MAY leave on Sunday but won't know until the week before)
|
You know I will be around. Maybe just peices of me, but here I will remain...

I am swamped today but will throw out some routes later this week. I have no idea why you would want to go to Kansas though...Unless you just have to get the sticker. It is generally flat, feature less, and straight. Also a good several hours ride in the wrong direction... |

More rain expected tomorrow and Sat/Sun...Water has washed debris over th eroads, flooded everything, big mess...
|
Dammit. I don't want to have to bring rain gear.
|
Can't last forever, although Sat is a 40% and Sun is a 60%. Only concern is the damage done to bridges and highways from debris and run off. We may just cruise around dodging potholes and watching road crews all weekend long...We can always hole up in Eureka and drink, LOL

Man... with the weather, tornadoes, and damage to everything south of the mason dixon...
I will admit... I'm considering canceling this trip for a NE, maine lobster trip instead. I have already plotted the new trip and planned the stops. Will hit 10 states (7 new) and Canada, around 2,000 miles. I'm waiting to talk to caveman about it but I'm about 80% sure of my change. Smiley I appreciate the help but the rally was already looking low on participation and the weather complications make it worse. It's not about rain, it's about roads, bridges, levees, and tornadoes. Will get it hammered down one way or the other this weekend. |
I understand all the implications caused by this incredible and once in a life time storm situation. I couldnt have imagined the death and destruction when this all started. Those traveling the furthest would have some serious challenges to a rally right now, from Kansas and Oklahoma all the way across Kentucky and Tennesee, Arkansas and Mossouri.
Ya'll do what's best for you, There is always time to cancel within the 24 or 48 hours. This has not turned out to be the rally we all envisioned, just a gathering of friends, and friends can gather anytime anywhere, no need for a special time or venue... |
Well hell. I cant take off whenever so.......guess Ill call my dad and discuss if we're still good.
My allergies are kicking my butt today. I went full retard and never thougt about the green life around the area. |

Im heading to my dads place after work wednesday (3 hour ride), then we're heading out thursday morning. Gonna stop somewhere then make our way to Eureka on Friday. |
We're to gon on leaving Thursday.
Can we get another head count? |
Quote:
The weather forecast looks great! Just a 20 pct chance saturday and high 70s and low 60s for temps |
Really? I talked to my dad and he says its a go even if no one shows up. Its a trip for us so we can always detour.
Not sure exactly when we will reach Eureka Springs. I know we're staying in Oklahoma Thursday night and then heading that way friday. |

This is why I hate arranging rallys, you bastards bail. At least if I keep it close to my house and in a place I want to go, I get a good vacation.

We are not going this time around. You won't know which year we are coming. We are totally going to do that parallel street riding when you see us through one intersection and in the next we are gone to make you worry if it is us or not. LOL |

Well I'm not trying to go on a volunteer trip.... I'm trying to put down some miles on some great roads and not run into problems.
|
I'd be wanting to go there to photograph the devastation. I went to the Outer Banks in 2004 right after Hurricane Ivan came through. It was wild.
And the pics I've seen from down there are astonishing. |
Neither were these guys, they were just awesome like that. Good people.
A twister came down between the dragon and the foothills parkway. The devastation and how it was isolated to the path was just amazing. I didn't get any good photos though. It cut this huge section of trees out, came across the lake and took out a power tower in the middle of the lake. Then came up the bank by the bridge the kids are always jumping off of. The section it cut through was just utterly obliterated and just outside of it was perfectly fine. |
