Let's do a Canada meet up at the Beer Garden!

[tourunigo]

Despicable, huh?

We set up shop in the corner of the other tent closer to the stage, to me they were all beer garden tents.

The highlight was creating honourary Canadians: give us your name, we'll give you a home town and a Canadian job.

My new pal John from NYC became John from Dildo, Newfoundland who was an unemployed highway flag person. It went downhill from there.

But more importantly we all drank a toast to bogthebasher. Hopefully Mary will post up the pic when she and Bob get back home.

Good times!

Thanks Bob!

[bogthebasher]

Thanks for the toast everyone! See you in Des Moines next year.

[crustybeemer]

On to Des Moines!

This thread was busy for awhile but you all seem to have lost interest. And I live just up the road from Dildo, Newfoundland. Just sayin'

Only 112 days left! Gotta start packin!

I'll make another attempt this year, but after the problems with SLC, I'd like it if we actually met at the beer tent!

I had no problem finding folks to drink with and enjoyed myself, but they weren't this group. I stayed where the beer was and had a good time.

SLC was frustrating, in that I spent more than a reasonable amount of time going around the Beer Tent looking for the group to no avail, only to find out when I got back home that the meet-up had been moved away from the Beer Tent to another tent without notifying people.

So, if it is possible can we identify a Date/Time/specific-Place? Then, if there is any change if those making the change could post the details of that change here than people could adjust. There were a number of people who weren't able to find the SLC event because it was moved away from the Beer Tent without letting folks know.

Already getting thirsty.

Well skibum69, I guess I know who has the 586 number in the anonymous book. Born and raised in Brownsdale. Look forward to saying "How's she goin, me sun" in Des Moines and being understood. You can find me in the beer tent🤣.....once the vendors have cleaned me out.

Have a great ride from Tuk!

[skibum69]

Ha! you must be talking about the new one as I only joined the MOA last year. Well neighbour, do you know Carm Buttons house on the corner of Buttons Lane and the main road? That is now my house that will soon be transformed into a B&B for touring motorcycles.

As for the beer tent I'm pouring on Wednesday and from then on I'll be in there drinking. How many bikes with NL plates do you think will be at the rally?

[codfodder]

Guessing your plate will be NL. So I have the over/under at 2.5

I will take the under.....my plate is NS.

PS. I used to hide rum under Carm's fence going out the dirt road to the beach. No need to look.....that was 30 years ago and I never leave any behind.

See ya in a few months.

[skibum69]

That’s funny! Yes I will have NL plates on my bike and it’s not a BMW

And of course the Big Red Dog will be there. Though we're from Vermont we seem to have more in common with our neighbors to the north...
