We're being overrun! :dribble:

Thank goodness this will be "in the books" before St. Patty's Day....or is this a mere warm-up for the big celebration? :dntknw:

Like you Fenians need an excuse....... :blink:

 
Are there any plans once we all arrive in Vegas? Since I have not been on the Forum much the past couple months, if there are plans on anything special in Vegas, (i.e. show, drinking, drinking or possibly drinking) I want to take part.

Don, are we still meeting up in Kingman?

Dan

 
As for us, we are not really going to vegas to ride all that much... maybe try to go run the gate at area 51 to see what happens, but apparently the issue is getting fuel to get home... Might not work out really well when trying to out run the black silent helo's.

I spoke to Fairlaner regarding Las Vegas and we are going to do something different this time from our usual: Show, drinking, drinking or posssibly drinking. On Thursday, March 10 we are actually going to do: Drinking, drinking, show and definitely drinking!

Sooooooo....nothing is changed except the names, to protect the innocent. :unsure:

Or are you simply starting earlier? :drinks: :alcoholic:

Looks like I can do this trip (conditional permission pending having taxes ready to go). I need to reserve some rooms. Mike, is your itinerary unchanged?

Yes...the non-existent itinerary is unchanged.

Leaving Thursday morning @ "oh-something-thirty" and heading over the Sierras on Hwy "to-be-announced".

Nightshine may spend Wednesday night here to save him the trip from Petaluma in the morning.

Definite plans to be affirmed once we can get a better glance at weather predictions and road conditions (next weekend?)

Hi Poppa Chuy... Was able to tweek my schedule,

So Mr. & Mrs. BearTrax will be making the trip!
Sounds Great, Barry and Marla! Are you also going to Las Vegas and staying at the Golden Nugget on 3/10? If so, we are leaving from Donna's house in Chandler on Thursday, corner of Queen Creek Road and Alma School, at 0730 hours. We are meeting Big Dan Compton, he was at Death Valley Daze January of 2010, at El Palacio Mexican Restaurant in Kingman at 1100 hrs.

Are there any plans once we all arrive in Vegas? Since I have not been on the Forum much the past couple months, if there are plans on anything special in Vegas, (i.e. show, drinking, drinking or possibly drinking) I want to take part.

Don, are we still meeting up in Kingman?

I pick you up and return you to Sky Harbor International. Donna and I will ride our BMW R1150RT "Ingrid" and Niehart you can ride "Miss Lucy Liu"!
I'd imagine Fairlaner would let you room with him on the road,
Hey, Niehart!

If I meet you guys at the airport, could I have your pillion seat?

I'd get my own room :p

I'm so !@#$ sick of snow and cold that I'm just about ready to open a vein .... :(

Ms. Mary Ellen, You know you're always invited to fly South and take your pick of any of mi motos to ride! Come on down to sunny Arizona and ride to LV and DVNP!

Niehart can't go because it was in the middle of a Cribbage Tournament at his Senior Center. escapefjrtist and Panman had a Crocheting Symposium they're attending!

My Harley-Davidson FXD has a 28" saddle height, weighs 635 lbs. Miss Lucy Liu is a stone stock 2003 FJR. Ingrid the BMW R1150RT can have her seat set to 30" and only weighs 565 lbs. Salma Hayek, the BMW GS is the lightest at 455 lbs., but she has a seat height of 32". But the choice is yours, come ride the SouthWest MEM!
