National Rally - Eureka Springs Arkansas June 19th-20th 2012

[stromgal]

I'm in; sent my $ a couple days ago. Chris, if it was in *my* budget I'd send coinage so you could attend.  

[Oddball]

Frenchman we don't attend because it is in the budget.  I attend because the Pace Podcast report low turnout last year.

[MacGyver]

At this rate, it looks like we are going to have a flood of last minute folks jumping in.  

If we don't, you guys will most likely go home with some kick ass swag.   I can't make the location any more attractive.

ESTN, WCRM, Region 4 meets, etc, etc... all attract people away from making the pilgrimage to a really good meet.  

The dinners will be fantastic, the roads curvy and spastic,  how could one sit there and go 'Meh' like a piece of plastic

[Acadian Rider]

Money sent for me and two guests.  

A third guest is working on resolving a scheduling conflict on the home front.

After looking a SWRiverstone's pictures of southeast Ohio I am getting anxious to go.  

Hopefully the interest will pick up now that we are getting closer to the dates.  

[MacGyver]

Is there a way to send a blanket email from STN ? This would be best answered by UFO or Twist, I'm assuming?

Region 2 is doing is our our part to support the National.  Our spring meet thread died after 8 replies with nothing scheduled.

You're welcome.

Nice to see more people throwing their hat into the ring.  

I have a t-shirt design on my computer from a very competent artist.   It's coming together folks.

FYI - April 16th - $ entry fee will be $56.00

Also of note -  If you are stuck at the last minute trying to see if that D-bag boss of yours approves your leave,  I will make sure you get everything  you paid for.   Meaning, once I make the T-shirt order May 16th - Anyone who buys in after May 1st, will most likely not have a T-shirt available for the meet.  BUT I will make a point of mailing one to you at no extra charge.   You will recieve your goodie bag and will be entitled to take part in all raffles for prizes.  

If you want to donate anything for raffles, have it on hand for the big event Wednesday night.  Just make sure your let me know ahead of time that you have an something to give away.    
The one thing I was hoping to include in the raffle was a free hotel room (mon-weds) $$$, but that takes a BIG group to get Rodeway Inn on board with that.

In.  Reservation made at the Rodeway for June 18 - 21 and payment sent for registration.  Beat the price increase.

Way to go Roger.

Haven't paid much attention to the thread because I don't have enough vacation to pull this off. But only 14 people signed up when we're two months out?

It's a kick-ass location and MacGyver is busting his butt to organize a great event. Ya'll need to attend this meet if you can...

[LtDaninBoca]

  I'm in! Just reserved a room at the Edelweiss, and will follow w/funds for rally via PP. Leon - I look forward to seeing you and meeting new friends. Is Corbeau still active here? That guy added MUCH to the Gonzo content 2 years ago in West Va..
See you all in June !

  Garry's absolutely right! This is a top drawer event. Eureka Springs is one of the most
motorcycle friendly destination cities in America. Combined with some of the best roads
to be found anywhere and you have the "perfect storm" of a motorcycle rally.
  MacGyver efforts should also be acknowledged. He's put together venues and restaurants
that promise to offer a memorable experience.
  From someone who's been there: I've been planning on returning to E.S. since the '08 National
and I can't wait to get back.
  Yeah, the economy sucks. Yeah, it is  a big deal. And yeah, you should go.

Attention!! New sponsor on board.  One of our own - FastFreddy is offering up his services. Here is something he can do for you.  If not for your bike, why not a flamejob for your helmet?  Chicks dig it!  


Someone might win a free flame job for their ride.   Get that custom touch for your ride. Flames are not just for cruisers!

Jason:  

Aww thanks guys.  The kind words mean a lot.  Concentrating on this stuff has kept me from going bonkers out here in Colorado all by my lonesome.  

[MacGyver]

Butler Maps has spent the better part of a month trans versing the roads of the Ozarks this spring.  One of the items I'd like to get included with our goodie bag is a custom Butler map insert for your tankbag.  Think of it as a beta from them. Not the fullblown map but just the good stuff (Which is a lot btw).

Looking forward to seeing you again also Dan.  

Corbeau usually does a disappearance act during the ski season, only to appear again when it's over.
