I remember Durango, some yahoo started his bike at 0600 and let it warmup. This was where you could park your bike at your tent. P.O.'d me to say the least. Maybe not parking at your tent will be a Godsend, particularly after an intense night of barley therapy. Be considerate of others. This is NOT your own private idaho. The countdown is on. T minus .....

bagpipes

he gave up before we organized a task force to confiscate his cassette.....

At midnight there must have been a bonfire burning somewhere. If ya couldn't get the cassette, well throw the whole bloody bike in the fire.
To top it off, the jerk and his buddy were hollering back and forth across the campground to eachother. If I only had a gun...
Getting a little off topic. Hope ta see ya there Scoot.

Horror Stories

At Rhinebeck a guy unzipped our tent to tell my wife to do something about my snorring. I guess he doesn't have ear plugs. At the time I did snore quite loudley, but please. I've been told that some fellow campers and I have snored in synch. :snore

We were at the Adirondack rally a few years ago and there was a guy camped in one of those big cabin tents. At 10am, he was still completely passed out asleep. He was snoring really loudly, in what I can only describe as "cartoon snoring". It sounded just like the snoring you hear in cartoons. Someone had hung a sign on the outside of the tent:

Eviction Notice.

:rofl

What does "quiet" mean?

I always try to camp in the quiet area. Mostly because I don't want to hear drunken screams. Everytime I'm amazed at the people who camp there because they want to go to sleep with the sun but have no problem waking everyone else up at 6 AM.
For crying out loud show the same courtesy in the morning you expected the previous night. If you have to leave at daybreak don't park between the tents and when you pack up don't announce it. I never would have thought 8 AM was sleeping late.

He had a chainsaw in the other hand at the Damn Yankee Rally a couple years ago.

BMWGypsy · Jun 25, 2003

funny now...

5 a.m.

A kid is opening the bathroom door and letting it slam. Repeatedly.

A friend yells at him, "knock it off. What are you a moron?"

Turns out the child was mentally challenged. Where were his parents?!?

Well, one time at band camp......................

Oh wrong place

The snoring doesn't bother me.
The shaggin' doesn't bother me - unless she's a real screamer AND he's taken a bottle of viagra. Gets old quick. Other wise it's just funny.

The zippers and shuffing about late at night doesn't bother me.
The band playing late doesn't bother me
People sitting around and talking, laughing until 2,3,4, or 5 a.m. doesn't bother me (the Mississippi BMWclub contingent at Ga. Mtn Rally were REAL COOL to sit around and B.S. with)

What does bother me?

Bikes starting up before 7a.m. and revving the motor.
Anyone yelling or screaming after 10 p.m. or before 7 a.m. - especially next to a tent
Radios between 10p.m. and 7 a.m.
ANYONE who sticks there head into my tent/opens the zipper without MY EXPRESS permission.

Moaners

Good Grief, Shag, this couple was from Jersey ! How many moaners ARE there out there????

tb

Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket???

MTHelmet · Jun 29, 2003

Having some one with to many brew knock you and TOH off of the bike in the rally grounds. Put on He-- of a damper on that rally.

So if you partake of to many , park the bike.

This wasn't much of a bummer, at least for me, as far as it was entertaining. Was getting around 11 p.m. and things were winding down. This guy desides to start a fire in the fire pit at his camp site. He throws some empty beer boxes and some wood in the pit and gets some 'high test' gas to sort of help things out a bit. Well, he must have forgot that he'd been tossing in cigerette butts in the fire pit. He had poured quite a bit of gas in the pit when eventually it lit by one of the cigerette butts. Nice flame. Probably 10 plus feet high. Did I mention that his soon to be ex-buddies brand new Dodge pick-up was parked right next to the fire pit and the fact that his soon to be ex-buddie was still at a local bar with the truck keys in his pocket? It's amazing how well new paint on a new truck can bubble when very close to intense heat. I was pretty sure as I was running to get a garden hose that was hooked up to a near by water spiket to help out, that this poor guy that started the fire and did a great job of singeing most of his body hair, was pretty drunk. :idea

My "Favorite" experience was at the "Return to Shiloh" rally in 1976. Camping was in the woods and at about 11:00pm two or so apparently liquored up rally attendees nearby chose to test their guns by firing a few rounds into a nearby tree.

Complaining did not seem prudent at the time.
