You are on the list, Sir Todd!! Glad to see you're working on going!!

If my wife did come, I would be the one driving her around. She doesn't like to drive , especially in another state. That is why I am against her going. I would like for her to go, but i don't want to babysit...so I don't think that she should go. We like to gamble, but don't like to lose our money so we don't. I like the tubing, the horse riding and the twisties. My brother said i was being selfish...I said i wanted to ride not watch people ride.

To summarize: Some people bring non-riding guests... Whether it's for you or not depends on who you are...

I will add one thought on this subject... Our rallies are fun events for everyone involved... We try to respect one another, & we don't do stooopid stuff... (We don't drink & ride, etc...) Now, if your kids are young, and have never heard a swear-word, you'll need to take special precaution to keep them out of earshot of CBX... 'Course, he's usually incoherently intoxicated by dinnertime anyway, so it's not a big deal...

EDIT - I just lost 2 HUGE paragraphs above this one (posting tired, I guess)...GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I mentioned the resort's facilities, as someone said above... You can take a day or 2 out of riding, & rent a boat, go horseback riding, etc... My wife enjoyed it in '06, & she doesn't ride...

It's looking to shape up nicely Mikey.....

$%#!@ you Gooo! You little #$%!@ $%#@ @#%$@# stupid piece of $%#@$ that sux %$#$@ not just are you a %$%$#@$ but you #$%#@.

...sounds like the chorus to the Forehead Muffler Burn Symphony...truly classical music.

Indeed... This place has History, ya know...


Hey, CBX - Be nice!! We got company lookin' in...




Fuggun' dummazz...

I put you on the list... I figured you forgot to ask, so I helped you out!! No need to thank me... It's just what I do!!

I thought that was nice son.

Mike, Do we need to reserve our own rooms or are you going to block some off?

Spoke with Shane (Tenn12) last night & He might be able to make the trip as well.
He's got a new 10R that wants a taste of dragon tail.

hope to see you all in early May

stay safe

Oh No..... 1Bad12R,Mamba and Gunner. I really should maybe take up golf or sumthin.

This is gonna be fun.

That's what I said when I saw you were coming Tim

I am gonna block off some rooms & some cabins for our group, but everyone will need to reserve them separately in their own name... I do this mainly to keep our "Main Cabins" together, if possible... Makes life easier when people are getting together for meals, etc...

If the girl at Fontana doesn't return my call soon, I'm gonna lose my fu*kin' cherubic demeanor!!

Just sayin'...

Seriously, I'm calling them again tomorrow & will post price schedule & other info as soon as I get it!! This info will go in the original post of this thread with all the other pertinent stuff...

I'm puttin' Shane on the tentative side of the list... Please advise any change of status if possible... Thanks for making sure he was "kept in tha loop"!!

Indeed!!

Not like me to jack a thread or anything, but, didn't 10/12 sell his 12 to Slick Cheeks and she painted it pink? I wonder if'n she still maintains it then?

No need to worry about me Tim, I bought a smaller bike!! I'll be sucking your exhaust fumes over the Cherohala. How ya been?

Put in and got the approved time off!!!

Committing myself. (maybe literally considering the group I'll be with )

That's BS!! Fastest trip I ever made across there was with Jackel and him on a damn 600..... You'll be just as fast as ever Todd..

Is anyone West of the Mississippi going?

I'm going, want a ride?

If I go, absolutely.
I know 238 and edge were considering it.
anyone else???????
What's the final per-person cost on the cabins this year?

I'd put my chance right now at about 25-30%.

Hey, Connhat - Imma put you on the Tentative List... I hope you can make it!! BTW - The first post in this thread has everyone's home state listed beside their screenname to help people coordinate travel plans...

AND - As far as the prices on the cabins, I've got the inquiries in... Hoping to have our group discount pricing posted soon!! I'm thinking that our discounts will be in the area of 20% off the published prices, but I'm just guessing @ this point...

Looks like you can add a couple of Kiwi's to the list Mike.

Great Paul! Bring beer. LOL

No worries, what flavour?

That is kick ass Kiwi,

How about Chewie ??

On second thought, no need Paul. We'll already have plenty of Pabsts!

Don't see much of him these days.

With pleasure!!

It's great that you're going to make it!!

Fontana Village rates are now posted in the first post of this thread (near the bottom)...

Any questions can probably be answered on their website or by using the number provided in the Rates Schedule... My contact there is Debbie Rich, and she's a pretty good kid...

People can reserve their own cabins/rooms/campsites & they'll try to group them in our block... Mention KawasakiWorld group or ZX-12R.org group to assure getting our discounted rates...

Just bought some plane tickets, so we be there for sure now :) Can't wait!

Awesome Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spose we will have to bring our own Sheep again..

Any chance we can change the dates...to July 27th,28th and 29th 2009??

Sportbike Gurls Rally

Just wondering...cause...well Gunner & Kawman wanted to know. ;)

Oh don't worry about me Larry, I made a trip up to the Gap for the first annual Sportbike Gurls Rally : )

Matter a fact, I have one from the last Kiwi/Jazz rally you attended.

Just need to clean her up a little and replace the battery

Cool bananas.

Bring only cute ones... Last time there were some that just weren't up to standard... It would also be nice if they were discreet...

Where are you flying in to? Have you spoken to Ray?

We fly into LA on Friday April 24 at 0640. Not my first choice of places to land, but flying in from down here we don't have much choice.
Last visit Jazz had a brother living in LA so it worked out pretty good. This time I think we will get some sleep then grab a rental car or a domestic flight outta there.

Haven't planned anything beyond that, and no, haven't heard from Ray yet.

BTW we fly out of LA on May 27.

Well, I spoke with ray before he went on vaca, he says he and Rae are getting a couple of BMW's and if they get them in time you and Jazz are welcome to ride his Ducati.

You must be a helluva guy to have someone offer up a Duc! Hope I get to meet ya!

Wow! That would be pretty special. I'm used to riding a Duc too, just not used to riding on the wrong side of the road :)

Hope I get to meet you too, your just gonna have to make it now arn't you.

Hey Paul. I've often wondered. Cars that drive on the left side of the road have their streering wheels on the right side. So then where are the handle bars located on your motorcycles? Front or back?

You been drinkin again? Save it for May son.

Kiwi, let me know if you need anything. I live in Knoxville and can help out once you get here.

Ok bro's the list is growing nicely. There are a few more prospects (all virgins to the gap) who are syaing they are going to come 4-5 more but we will see as the date gets closer. Any word from the ny guys (epstien,the misses ect...) man i almost get teary eyed thinking of you guys and the fun, laughs and good times that has been had there. Oh by the way any word from the cooks that have always made the rally. I know i have missed a few of the rallys but to anyone who is on the fence about going "do not miss it" my life has been enriched by the guys at this rally.

Chicago - I hope your friends decide to go, as it will be a great trip for them, I'm sure!! Epstein & Dee might have a scheduling conflict, but I'm not counting them out yet... As far as the cooks go, since Will & Cheri moved out West, they said the DG rally was gonna be too far for them to come... I guess we're officially looking for someone to "fill that slot"!!

As usual, I'll bring the Pulled Pork BBQ, I think you ChiTown boys are bringing your famous sausages... We'll prolly do one sit-down dinner @ Fontana's restaurant... Other than that, I'm open... Traditionally, we have all pitched in a few buxx & someone did a shopping trip for a "Sandwich Buffet", which stays open for the entire rallyment...

Of course, everyone brings their own beverages (lemonade, ginger ale, etc...)... I have other choices myself...

I might have a few extra Pabsts since someone I know loves them then...

Thanks for the offer mate, will keep you in mind.

You are evil...

That pic is NOT flattering, huh??

BTW - Pabst is nasty-ass beer... I wuz tryin' to be nice, cuz Debi wuz there & she's actually a very nice person... I like her, and I realize that you are her burden to bear in this life...

Did I mention you were evil??

Don't be dissin' Pabst child.

Let me help ya out there Mike.

WTF Mike,Cowboy boots on a Boat,You must be from Kentucky Huh Mike..

Really! Where's the shorts? Let's see those milky white legs! WooWooooo!
And you can't fool me, that's Blitz's beer you're sitting next to. He's the only guy left that still drinks Coors Original.

OK.... Where's John (Rocket) ?? Anyone heard from him? It's not a Rally without John

Thanks, Mr. Rokitt!! That's my Grandson to my right; we jus' pimpin' pimpin'... That was a great day on the water!!

Now about those bootz - I didn't pack any tennies or shortz for the rallyment, cuz I didn't think I'd be swimmin' & boatin'...

And, Reddawg, yes I live in Kentucky, but I started wearin' bootz like that when I lived in Texas...

95 days to go...........but whose counting.
