    To bad we couldn't discusss chosing a middle ground State somewhere fairly equidistance between us all and plan to meet sometime. You know... triangulate all the states of those interested and calculate a fair location. I think it'd be a heck of a reason to meet. And don't be afraid to trailer if necessary. F*ck all that crazy macho sh*t. Its about getting there and getting home safe that counts. We can ride when we get were we get.

    Gotta be some place that would attract us to want to go there. We were going to meet at Sturgis this year but that went by the way side. Still think Stugis would be a good location.

    I think he has been enjoying life real well, looks like he has gained a little bit of weight, oops probably shouldn't say that.:D We had a couple of good talks and wanted to get a pic of him and I together on Saturday in Virginia city but to crowded and didn't see him that day. Sounds like he is doing a lot of riding which is always good.
    We all do need to get together again would fun.

    I recommend we consider starting with a poll thats set up to 1) see whose interested and 2) what State are they from.

    Then once we have a good handle on whose interested and where they are from put pins on a US map to see where everyone who is interested in going lives and then pick a fair geographical location.

    We should also consider setting up a poll that determines should we have it in conjunction with a major rally or some scenic location with touring and riding just amongst us? While major rally benefits speak for themselves, it should be known that our country is poka dotted with motorcycle freindly resorts and campgrounds too.

    In the happenstance that there is more then one location and the voting is close we should consider a poll off to get a true majority vote?

    Polling is giving everyone a vote in the matter and seems like the fairest way to have the groups opinions represented, yes/no?

    From NJ and interested...Tried this on another board and similar to this board had people from all over the US...Ended up having regional get togethers because most people like me would only take a week and travel was pretty much limited to 2 days traveling each way leaving 3 days to have some fun...

    Went back east last year won't ever do it again. Rode the bike to D.C. to go to the Vietnam Wall, man I felt like I was in an Ant Hill.
    NC was nice some and good riding around there. My riding around the country now will be confined to the western states. Won't go past Colorado. :D

    I have run 1400+ miles to attend gatherings, I don't mind.

    I think a good ting to do over the winter stretch is set up a poll to see whose intersted, where they are from and should we have it seperate or in conjunction w/ a existing rally?

    If no one minds I would be happy to set up the polls.

    No offense but look how that worked out? :)

    As an on again off again participant here I sense everyone here is good people and I think if based on mine and Joshbobs recent get together, we'd have a darn good time and this'll be worth the effort to organize. God knows I got nothing else to do until next freaken April.:(
