I have just read the latest thread on 2012 NAFO and it made wonder again "Where is the 2010 NAFO?" Does anyone know where and when in the East Region it will be?
P.S. I am semi-retired so I am available to volunteer/help where do members like me sign up?

What would DoG do?
Yep.
But not me. They'll announce it once the contracts are signed. Customarily, it has been during the dead of winter, when everybody has time to do non-riding stuff.
I think I might go to Alaska next year....

Rick, the event will be hosted by those who have run the EOM. If you will go to the EOM sites and determine who is the "mover and shaker" there, you could PM them and volunteer your time. They would be grateful for the help and those of us who have worked at behind the scenes jobs at these events thank you in advance.I have just read the latest thread on 2012 NAFO and it made wonder again "Where is the 2010 NAFO?"

If the powers that be read these post and give a damn, I have to put in a plug for the Holiday Inn in Johnson City where the EOM was just held. Obviously it's in the heart of some of the most beautiful riding east of the Mississippi, but the hotel was very accomodating and the group room rate was extremely reasonable.

One would think that - if maximum participation by the greater FJR rider populace is the goal, a national gathering would be held in as central a location as possible. Holding a national event in, say, the East, pretty much excludes the vast majority of riders from the West (and vice versa). There is some amazing riding in Northern California, Oregon and Washington for instance, but I would be the first to advocate against holding a national meet in any of those locations.
Just a thought...

The more central it becomes the roads suck
IMHO it'll have to stay close to KY/TN... drifting too far west encroaches on roads SFO might want to save for when they host NAFO whatever...just set the dates and location...that's what I'm waiting on

If I recall these events are going to be rotated through the various regions. The point of having a sportstourer like the FJR is to ride...
For the SPORTStourer side of things, you'll need to have a twisty riding destination. The FJR just begs for that. People will not want to ride a thousand + miles to meet in corn country...you're going to see that anyway crossing this great land, so you might as well end up in twisty heaven. I for one WILL NOT go to a NAFO in central Illinois...though it would be convenient. I would put myself out of my misery first.
For the SportsTOURER side of things, these events are spread 2 YEARS APART so people have plenty of time to accumulate extended vacation time if they desire to attend the NAFO meet. griff and I attended the CFR in British Columbia and used only 7 vacation days...and we wandered for quite a bit before we got to CFR.
It can be done...even by a non-ironbutt candy ass like myself.

Kansas! I vote for Kansas.
Wheaton has it exactly right.
WFO hosted the first NAFO and chose to hold the event towards the eastern edge of the Western U.S. Colorado....where there are clearly great roads.
EOM hosts the next one and may choose a place in the East that is accessible by other people in the continent, but I'm sure will be a place with great riding opportunities. Also, take a look at that Member Map. There are whole lot more FJR owners in the East than the West.
I look forward to what the great volunteers of EOM staff come up with!

Well, it certainly would be a change-of-pace from the Shandaken/Shinhopple area...!Kansas! I vote for Kansas.
The wide-open-spaces might be down-right scary...?

Sounds about right... another trip East to catch the roads I missed at EOM this year due to weather issues, and revisit the really great ones!

We are in the process of formulating plans for NAFO 2010. Once more information is available it will be made public.
