    Well, so far it looks like Mid August is in the lead. Someone had mentioned a central location for this thing. Who was it and where is it that you suggest??

    I am thinking that we have this gathering the beginning of the third week of August and the stay as long as you like? Me, I would like to hang at least for 4 days. JMO

    Arrive on a Sat. and leave on a Sat. Give yourself a couple days to get back home that way. If everyone stayed in the same location it would be better to connect up.

    I agree, it would just be way more fun if we were all in the same spot. I am really looking forward to this. How about you?

    Third week puts is real close to Labor Day weekend. Chances of rain are greater and some schools start around that time.

    You do it then and some of the vendors may be coming in to Sturgis to start setting up, may be a good time.

    I think I mentioned a central location like, say, Missouri - but what's in Missouri? Don't know, but we can make our own happening no matter what's going on around us. BTW, middle August is too late for me - have to be back at work by around the 19th or 20th - that's cutting it real close . . .

    OK, so we've eliminated Key West, San Diego, Seattle, Portland Maine, El Paso, Anchorage and Honolulu. Whomever is gonna run this show (JB?) should pull the trigger, name a time and place, post it in Trips and Trails, and those that ride there will have a legendary rendezvous. All others can polish their chrome.

    Take it from a guy happily living in the sagebrush seas of Nevada - it don't matter where "there" is - there is always something there, even if "everyone" says there ain't. Also, there will be more "there" when we show up on our steel horses, no matter the brand.

    Let's RIDE! :rocket_bike::biker::chopper:


    :cheers:

    Are you an impatient person there Red?? :rant::roflmao: It sounds like it is going to be SD.

    I agree, I don't care if it is a Harley or rice, as long as they enjoy riding and can put up with Cardboard if he would quit being a KILLJOY!! :cool:
