I'm 80% probable for attending this but with fencer not going I'd rather stay in the motel. Anyone looking for a roommate?

Looking good so far. I'm already on countdown mode and begun packing since I'm heading out a week from Tuesday. Can't wait for great riding and meeting great people again in AL.

<sigh> Life happens.

I'm out. Elderly mother issues means having to stick around here next week. I was truly looking forward to it all, including shaking some hands both familiar and new. Thank you anyway Turk.

Crap Mike, I'll miss riding to Barber with you. Take care of your Mom.

Time with your mom at this point is precious... spend it with her while you can... we'll still be here for the next gathering that you can attend. B)

 

[BigOgre]

Thanks guys. I know you're all right but damn!, out of all the weeks in the year things had to come together in the same one?

Gotta shake your head and laugh I guess.

 

[FJRBandit]

That's the way it goes sometimes you BigOgre. Was looking forward to trading war stories with ya, maybe next time. Tyler is right (as usual) time with your mother right now is way more important than hanging out with a bunch of scooter trash like us. Maybe next year....

Paypal on the way.

 

[BigOgre]

Next year? Hope so. Maybe even before your next shindig.

Got the refund. Thanks so much again.

Hey Turk,

I just made my reservation at the hotel. I could not get the FJR ready on time so I'm bringing the BMW S1000R. I am so looking forward to this trip. I have only taken four vacation days ALL YEAR!! i CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE, EVEN YOU TURK, BUT MOSTLY JANA!! Tell her I said that.

Im glad you’re going to make it Winewhisperer, I’m only going because I understood you were. I’ve been meaning to catch up.

It’s been a while.

Great! I am so glad you will be at Turk's little party. It was fantastic last year and I know you will have a great time. Oh, and I don't believe a word you just posted.

All of that being said --- let me remind everyone that we are now just one week out from the start of SFO 2017. If you have been thinking about coming and see now that you can make it, it's not too late. On the converse, if you have previously signed up and see that you can't make it, please let me know by this weekend. If you have already paid I will send you a refund, just let me know asap.

The concept behind all of this is that we get together, have a great time and all share in the costs. My goal both years we've done this is to keep the "rally fee" as low as possible while still being able to provide plenty of quality food and great entertainment. That's why there is no swag bag provided- although we do have rally stickers again this year (courtesy of Uncle Hud).

In order to keep costs as low as we possibly can and still ensure that we have plenty of food for everyone, I need to have a solid head count so that we can make certain we purchase the correct amount of provisions for everyone in attendance. So either way - please let me know no later than this coming Sunday if your plans have changed.

Thanks,

The management

PS - Top_speed (KJ) was kind enough to prepare several gpx routes for us. If you are interested shoot me a PM and I'll send you the files via email. I'll try to get those copied and posted here for everyone before too long....

Well things aren't going so well with the project I'm helping some buddies with. I haven't been able to commit to attending and it isn't looking good but still playing it by ear.

 

[winewhisperer]

Hey Turk,

Since the rally is almost upon us, I will bring cash with me for the rally fee.

You're still on the list - so you have to come.

Seriously, if you can make it, even with late notice come on!

Sure thing G, no problem.

I thought you retired!!

 

[Uncle Hud]

He's driving sugar beet trucks now. I know you're on the road now, but sheesh, keep up, girl!

Hey Abercrombie FJR, is a sugar beet truck as much fun to drive as a fire truck?
