edit[ deleted because of fat fingerdness]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!

As the only attending member representing the NAFO 2010 commmittee at the first NAFO(2008) this sentiment was convayed but no committment was made (I had no athority) but the realization is:Wheaton has it exactly right.

* Yes, Golden, CO is as about the end of the eastern edge of the "West" that NAFO(2008) could have been held that riders would come too for good roads and they were very nice to ride but noting like the roads in the EOM region. Did the WFO committee concider Cheyene, WY or Albuquerque, NM for the first NAFO? B) Don't think they did?
* If the first NAFO was held in Wala Wala, Washington, I would have been there and I think those of us east of the Mississippi would have been there also.
* Golden, CO is as about as "in the middle of the contry" one could get this event in the WFO region.
* The Easter Owners Meeting "area" is generally concidered to fall in longitudes of 73' to 93'. WFO's "area is what.... longitude 100' to 120'
* Several of us rode from the shores of the Alantic Ocean to Golden; 1600 miles. Some of us rode from NewHampshire, Maine, Ont., Quebec and I think Nova Scocia.
* From Golden/Denver to Lexington, KY is FLAT! Roads are set up in north south, east west grids. Just a few hours to the east of Lexington are undoutably some of the most touted motorcycle roads in the USA; The Snake(421), The Dragon(129), Devils Tringle, Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherohola Skyway, Maggie Valley and the list goes on...
* The roads and cities that fall longitute 87' through 105' in the USA well ... are not know for their motorcycleing roads.
This post is not intended to start "something" but it is not fair for those riders who have never experienced the roads of the east, especially the areas mentioned above to be in a place based soley on a central location. Hell, lets just hold NAFO every 2 years in Kansas City, KS, can't get any more central than that now can we? <_< As stated before, FJR riders are sport tour riders and I would suspect that the ride to the event is a big part of the adventure for most of us. For me, time off work and from family are the limiting factors to which event I can attend during the year. Anyway I don't see (read) the BMW owners bitching too much over where the next yearly event is going to be held. Just say'n...

Lebanon, Kansas is a great central location, equally accessible by everyone. A great compromise. Compromise: An agreement that is equally displeasing to everyone involved.

[SIZE=14pt]Anyplace in West Virginia:[/SIZE]
In fact, roads anyplace in the Appalachian area are equal to, or better than the ones shown in the WV map snippet.

I did too!
It started right after I said : I do!"
PD, you must have gone to a different course. Mine was more like this:I did too!

Compromise: An agreement that is displeasing mostly to the male party(s) involved.

You have to break out on your own every once in awhile so that it evens out. :glare: <_<PD, you must have gone to a different course. Mine was more like this:I did too!

Good Morning,
Are dates and location of NAFO yet to be determined??
Looking ahead we have a very busy flight schedule this summer and I'll need to get vacation requests in soon to have any chance of attending it.
Thanks!!

I just hope that the dates are well away from the end of June as anybody that is 'anybody' on an FJR will be at CFR in Quebec!
July would be good, so I can catch it on my way home from CFO, ST-N, CFR and MEM's house!I just hope that the dates are well away from the end of June as anybody that is 'anybody' on an FJR will be at CFR in Quebec!

Sounds like your planning to rejoin the EI Riding team!
Oh, I like the avatar. Does it count if I've been unsuccessful in TRYING to be naughty? Managed to get about 50% of the way to naughty on Sat.. then her 2 sisters stepped in and rescued her. Like I said, I was trying, so I tried picking up all 3. Hey, if your gonna go down in flames go big or go home.
I was still in flames when I stepped through the door.
