Damn it...I was looking forward to seeing you and Sheila again.
Me too... can't you come in the car? Don't care how you get there... just get there!

Use the car Bust, it's been done before.
Plus you can bring your own stock of beer! not to mention the blow-up dolls sheep for nightly entertainment... the possibilities are endless. Show bro!

 
Ok...stupid question...do I need a GPS? Can this be done without one?
I am late reading this, but I did this rally without a GPS and had a blast. Your best bet is to stop by a border crossing (I came from Iowa) They will

have free pamphlets with attractions in SW Wisconsin… Then the map will show the rally area only and they fit great into the window of your tank-

bag. Different pamphlets show different areas, you will already have the bonus' and so choose you pamphlet wisely!

I will be up in Iowa the week prior, so I could pick you up one and bring it to you. OR…

Thanks for the offer Tony...I plan on using maps. Good tip on the attraction pamphlets.

Don't expect all the "attractions" Rick picks to show up on tourist pamphlets. Not many states advertise things like serial killer graves, etc. JS

I'm really not to worried about it...if I finish, I finish...if I don't, oh well. As long as I can have a cigar and a few beers afterwards, all will be good.

Yeah you can do that while enjoying some of the best entertainment there....Rick scoring the participants!

Afternoon wise, I'm sure all I will be hearing from da'Steamer is... "let's just skip the last few POI's and head back for happy hour!"

Guess I'm in Cigar Joe's boat.

 
Well actually I meant that the attraction maps show detailed sections of Wisconsin . Rick gives very good directions to the bonus locations, his directions and a detailed map will be fine for the rally.

As for me, I have a certain bluff that I want to climb and watch the world go by from above. LOL

 
My rental is secured for Friday and Saturday... big shout out to Ben at Two Brothers who helped make it happen!

The model doesn't have GPS so I just ordered my old school GPS (i.e. paper maps!! :lol: ) and will be ready to rock & roll on my first ever rally!! B)

Good news :good:

Let me know what kind of logistics/ride you might need to pick your rental.

When does you flight get in?

Arrival at La Crosse airport at 2:21pm on Thursday. Ben is going to let me pick up the bike before they close so I'll be ready to go Friday morning. It looks like it's a whopping 8 miles from the airport to their shop so I can just catch a taxi. :)

You and me both...at least we can get lost together

A couple Rally Virgin's? I'll drink to that!

You'll have a ball, Rick knows all the best riding.
This is going to be great fun.

A word of caution for the newbies that haven't ridden SW Wisconsin before.

Some of the traffic control signs can be a bit different.
