Lodging @ Lima in 2005

[REBECCAV]

Why didn't you call me?

Me too - I'm in the Anon. Book (anonymously, of course) and I am just a stone's throw from Snake Navel. Besides, some of the folks who work at the dealerships are riding buddies. I could have hooked you up...

Besides, I always have beer and anti-beer - er, coffee.

Miscreant #2 here. Or is that #3?

Considering I won't have to ride 3/4 of the way across the country I'll have way more energy to partake of the Beer Garden. Unlike this year, where I had 7,000 miles under the belt dragging me off to my tent at 10:00pm every nite.

My vote is the fairgrounds!!!

Hey, Good point #2. I can't think for myself. I like your thinking on this matter. I may change my mind later. But, I might miss something at the beer garden.
Therefore, this hanging chad, hereby changes his vote to the fairgrounds. Remember, ride, volunteer, arrive early, drink, silverton, drink.

Actually, I read that pretty easily (of course, I'm dyslexic anyway). That is pretty amazing.

Re: Motels in Lima

My buddy William Shatner will be getting me a better rate.
As an expert hotel-dweller, I paid a sweet $49/night in Spokane, one of my fellow dwellers paid $109 (same place). Priceline baby, it's the only way to travel.

I'll wait until about March before I book though, because you pay when you bid, so you have to be commited to going.

Worry not, Grasshopper. I have negotiated some good rates with the Lima motels....

Holiday Inn $79/night + tax
419-222-0004
Comfort Inn - price varies: $75/night for a King or 2 doubles
419-228-4251
Best Value Inn (Formerly a Ramada) $55/room
1-800-352-2168

There are also Motel 6 and Super 8. I don't have their prices handy.

I got the Leonard Nimoy price. Marriott Rewards five free nights in Spokane.

Still camped though, kept the hotel room for the air conditioning and the work requirements.

That just seems so wrong somehow.
(But you're right points trump paying anyday)

Why does the BMWMOA site does not show anyhting about Lima Ohio?

I was very pleased to see that Sue Rihn-Manke has negotiated some good hotel rates. Thank you Sue. I would like to book the one that is closest to the Rally grounds.

 

[BRADFORDBENN]

Good question Ozzy.

I have no idea why not , but I know who to ask.

Camping

OK, I'm ready for some flames about this, but here goes. I'm a new motorcyclist, and new to my R1200CL. My wife and I would love to go to Lima. However ... we travel by motorhome with our two dogs. We would plan on trailering the bike to the Lima area, and riding when we get there. Would we be drummed out of the fairgrounds? Should we camp far away and just ride in on our bike pretending we were commuting each day from Michigan? Any other motorhomers out there?

Be kind.

Re: RV Camping and Dogs at Lima

You brought up two points that others might be interested in:
RV camping AND pets.

This year we had nearly 80 RVs in Spokane, and we are ready for more than that next year at the Allen County Fairgrounds.
There are approx 40 sites with FULL hook-ups, and another 100+ sites with power only. You will be in good company. Be watching the BMW Owners News and the web page for details on how to reserve your RV spot - probably in January or so.

Secondly - Pets.
Pets will be allowed at the 2005 rally. BUT --- and this is a big one, folks --- we expect pet owners to be responsible... not only for the happiness & well being of their animals, but also out of consideration for the rally guests.

You will see more on this subject in the future.

Hope this addressed some of your concerns.

 

[dancogan]

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Sue. And good luck on what I'm sure will prove to be a very rewarding and challenging undertaking!

So in addition to noisy and quiet camping, will there be different sections for cats and dogs?

Now how do I get a Great Pyrenes and a Newfoundland onto a RT and the camping gear?
