Angry, naw. We may not be all huggy-huggy, but we do enjoy a good dog piling every now and again.
Nice try, Hank.

So will the censorship that is prevalent on the FJRForums be present at the rallies?
Are the organizers "interpreting" the discussions of things they don't like as pimping, therefore banning you from the rally?
Sounds like a lot of money to give to folks that believe in censorship. No thanks.

Come and find out.
People I've met at rallies whether STN or FJR have usually been pretty stand up people. It's about the trip and the riding anyway.
Even if you don't like the Forum moderation, you will like the people you meet.
Or are you just into anger and angst?

No, not into anger or angst. I'm into bikes and have a feeling others are as well.
I don't need to feed money to folks who get into censorship. Other folks may feel the same way.
Ride on.

Two meals, a tee shirt and a "keepsake" name tag for $155. That's a lot of cash for a friendly meet up. How's that compare with say the STN National?

I've never quite understood the desire for brand-specific meet ups. Harley riders do that.
My guess is this will give the FJR forum people an opportunity for naked dog piles in one of the motel rooms.
Seriously, what is the attraction?

STN Nationals are free, but if you wanted to spend money I think the last national was $15 for Friday dinner + 10 more for the shirt.

Damn, Snowbird, I think this may be the second topic we have total agreement on
You may jest on that dog pile thing, but I have never seen admins on a forum take so much pride in starting or feeding such events as that group

I guess the end of the world is near... as Snowbird and I have agreed in the past and now I am agreeing with you too!
The reason the cost is $155 per person is because they needed a very large location to be able to fit all those egos into one room.

Thanks to all the naysayers here.
You're doing a
great
job keeping this thread towards the top and helping spread the word about the event. I think a few of the 148 registrants we have so far for the first North American FJR gathering are because you're going out of your way to poo poo it.
By all means...keep it up!!!
They've figured out an event
without
negative personalities like
ratbagg/Captain America
,
sprint_st
,
FJR1300
is the event be at in July.
Thanks again for doing your part to help make NAFO a successful event.

Well if it isn't Ignuts. Save your first grade psychology. The guys here understand a concept called "freedom". We don't have to see if our opinions are on an "approved" list. Give my regards to the lemmings.

"148 registrants so far for the first North American FJR gathering"
Sounds like your gathering is becoming a regular 'FJR Sturgis'. And rightful so when you charge $25 for an extra tee, play with guns and ridicule others for not riding Yamahas.

+5.
He seems to have an across the board inability to remain quiet. Some sort of control issue..?
Anyway, $155 isn't bad if it includes the room.

Whew...guess I've found where all the malcontents from the fjrforum reside. The fjrforum isn't for everybody (and there are two not one perspectives to that).
NAFO is about FRJ owners meeting and sharing their interest, not about what forum you post the most on. If I can swing the time off, I'll be there.

Does he really think it's just a few of us that have a problem with the way that board is operated? I know a lot of FJR owners who would throw out that entire crew, but they remain quite because they don't want to be banned.

i have been trying for the last 3 years to regester on the FJR forum and still have not been approved to post on it. not Even 1 post and i was banded already.
and as far as charging $155.00, that is a little out of line. as Sprint-st said if that included the room that would be acceptable.
i would like to go but I'm not going to pay that. but who is going to stop me i can still get a room and no one would be the wiser.

Your room rate will be over $200/night if you go without registering.
I wonder if some of you guys are as bitter and cynical in real life as your postings here reflect?
If so, I really hope, and will go out of my way, to never meet you in person.
