Going to the National?

Hawk Hawthorne said:

Hey GSJoe! Great to hear you're going to the National. As a first timer with no basis for comparision, I'd be interested in your opinion of the format we're using this year (e.i. "taking over downtown").

I'll be in the Beer Garden Friday night. Look me up! I'll be the one with half an ear. Can't miss!!

Also, I'll tell you the REAL story about martini's.....

Hawk-Although this rally format is a bit different from the norm I
think it will be great. If the shuttles keep rolling everyone should
be happy.
I look forward to meeting you Friday.

GSJoe: I appreciate you keeping an open mind on the format. I, too, will be curious to see how this works. As I said when I ran for the Board, "We've never done that before..." is no reason for not trying something. If it works, great! If not, oh well, we won't do it anymore. But what the hell, let's give it a shot!

See ya in the Beer Garden (if we can still see....)

WV Awareness

I'm a state of WV employee. In our last paycheck is a 7" x 2.75" card stock card, goldenrod with black printing --

Save a Life...Look Twice!
MOTORCYCLES
Are Everywhere

A couple of motorcycles are shown -- stylized Road Glide and 750 Nighthawk, and the notification that this card is courtesy of the WV Division of Motor Vehicles.

I've also noticed a couple of large billboards with the same message -- east of Charleston on WV 61 and south of Charleston on US 119. There are probably many more around.

Yep, I'm going!

Probably leave Fri morning, 6hrs. Don't know if I'm camping or not yet! Liked the set up at Trenton with everything in one area. Not sure what to expect in a city environment with stuff spread out

Hey Shag! You got the best plan for finding out what to expect with the Charleston format...go!! Stop by the Beer ent Friday night (see Beer Garden posts). See ya there!

Since I retired, and started a new job, I haven't been able to attend a national, as I no longer have enough vacation, I wish that we could go to a mid-week rally. But I think we tried that once, and it did not go over, so I guess I will just have to suffer! Hope everone has a great time at this years rally, and I hope that there will be a lot of rally pictures posted for those of us that cannot attend. thanks, and enjoy jerry
