Rally Roll Call

But of Course, it's only 3 hours away

I got to trailer, to bring both HR & KS. I just can't pick one to leave home, it'd be SO unfair. Even so, the Tourunit will probably sputter & miss for a week after we all get home. <<<)))
 
Count me in...

I'll be there, as this is my first ever motorcycle rally. As I've been told, I have much fun on the horizon. :clap

I am totally looking forward to rally time...

Yes probably, from West Coast Canada via good ole #1 to Manitoba(my sister),thence to Manitowoc (Boxergrrlie?) and the ferry to Michigan maybe Or the Big Bridge (my pals) and so on to Lima,another place I've never been.

Heigh ho!

I will be travelling from Daytona Beach on a 1200cl. I sold my '91 airhead
R100 to my brother with the requirement that he ride with me to Lima, so he
is coming too. We are both excited-our first rally of any kind!
 
Sign me up!

Will be setting up camp in Beemerville, Thursday night. Any one looking for a ridding partner through central Illinois and Indiana? Will be leaving Thursday afternoon from the Quad Cities taking I80 to Morris,IL, then south to 24 where I'll head east.
 
My 8 year old son Kyle and I will be camping out. It's our first rally and we are really excited to go!
 
Chromeheads on site

R1200C and R1200CL "chromeheads" will have breakfast in the RV area on Sat at 8am, just look for the shiny bikes. Those going to Paonia first, look for the custom-painted gray NC-registered R1200C and pressure him to go home through Lima, he's trying to get out of showing up at the rally!
 
Riding from the Jersey Shore. 1st Int'l. Meeting the old man in PA to ride west with. He is riding from the DC area. Looking forward to it. Longest trek for me so far. Furthest I have ever ridden in one day is 550 mi.

c-ya there
 
Myself and at least a dozen BMWBMW (BMW Bikers of Metro Washington) will be there, some camping, some hotelling like me.

Well, I feel bad about it! Once again personal issues prevent me from attending the national. While all you folks are having a good time, I will be taking my daughter back to school in Houston. Please, have one for me... :D
