2011 National - Custer, SD

[Mrs. DantesDame]

Once the date is locked down, I will be a plannin....  

That *is* the date.  Dinner that Tuesday, day ride Wednesday, informal dinner Wednesday night.



Go forth and make plans  

[zer0netgain]

Go forth and make plans  

Yes Ma'am!

[Bunbun]

I imagine me and the missus will be there.  She's really looking at getting a different bike and selling the ST4s and this would probably be the first long trip for a new bike.

[Spanky]

Good luck with that idea. The putzes around here can barely make it to a National on their back yard  

Hey, I'm a putz and I made to the National.  

[chornbe]

Hey, I'm a putz and I made to the National.  

You = one funny mofo...
You = welcome at any and all future gatherings!  

[DrMikey]

I'm in.

People from the east coast could potentially use day 1 to get to Milwaukee or Madison, and then have all the region 4 people join up from there.  Massive ride across the upper midwest to Custer ensues  

If a few riders need a place to crash along the way, lemme know. There's also plenty of tent space in the back yard.

Custer- mmmm, dem roads was made for boxers.

[blackbuell]

The last payment on our mortgage will be made next April. After then, the boss says I can can buy whatever bike I want. My first long trip on the new bike will be to Custer.

For those members heading there from the east---check out rt. 2 in Nebraska--very cool, high-speed road.

hmmmm ... with some dude in leather vest/chaps to stop traffic @turn intersections to keep the gaggle together ......

[Cablebandit]

Hmm....1524 miles door to door.  Can anybody say Bunburner Gold?

[Acadian Rider]

I just punched Custer SD on my GPS and it tells me that I have to do 2,500 miles just to get there but hey, that's only 25 hours at 100 mph.  Nothing the K1300GT can't do right?

No Now I did it in less than 24 hours
Leaving from the greater SF Bay Area.
This time I think I will stop half way and sleep a bit, feeling older

I heard you slowed down a bit now that you're management.

Pack a spare final drive  

[Acadian Rider]

Pack a spare final drive  

No, I don't have to, they upgraded it with the 09 model.   That's what BMW is saying and I'm trying hard to believe it.  

[ConPilot1]

I'm accepting $1000 USD non-refundable money orders from each rider who goes, for, you know, the spirit of the ride and the
souls of all biker warriors gone before you.

Doesn't matter - I was there, wasn't I?

That might come helpful.

Last time I went to SD, I cut from WI to MN through Red Wing, then hooked up with US 14 at Mankato, MN. I followed 14 all the way to Wall, SD. But I'm looking for a different two-lane road to follow this time.

[chornbe]

Who knows... I may even show up on a Connie.
