Boo-yah!  We are up to 23 registered guests!    

Just a reminder there is a no t-shirt option for $36 buckaroos!

I don't need to "share" my room, but if there's a shortage of places to stay and you still want to go, don't be afraid to ask if anyone has room to spare and is willing to share before you decide you can't make it.

Update -  There stands a good chance that Butler maps will be showing up for this event!  Reason being that they are in the midst of creating a new set of maps for The Ozarks.  We might be doing some 'beta' testing.

Routes from the 2008 National - http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php/topic,25600.0.html
Anyone offering to lead a ride?

Garmin Mapsource files on Rocketbunny's Server http://www.rocketbunny.net/uploads/cstn07/AR-MO-Loops.gdb

I am volunteering to ask for permission to cross post the work that STN has done to make these route maps available.  The COG National takes place right before the STN National.  Some COG members might be staying around for STN but I cannot.

So do any STN members mind that COG reference this work and post up links to this helpful info?

I for one appreciate the sharing of GPX files of good roads in an unfamiliar area.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

I was just up in that area last weekend and a great ride. In one way I  like the sounds of the Butler maps, and in another way I don't.

I rode my favorite road in the whole area on Saturday. On the first segment I saw 0 cars and 0 motorcycles. On the second segment I met one on coming car. I am hoping that a fancy map doesn't make area get too crowded. Deal's Gap used to be fun now it is way to crowded and there is way too much LEO presence for it to be fun.

Confirmed!!

Tracy Brasuell, of Butler Maps will be on site to give first hand knowledge of the Ozarks and answer any questions.

Maps will be available for retail sale ( special goodie two shoes  pricing ).  

Is anyone interested in the Backcountry Discovery Route Maps that have just been created?  (Utah and Washington)



Here's a preview of Texas Hill Country

I wasn't planning to ride as far as Alabama to get Stripper Poles but if you want them from there, I will do my best to get 'em.  

Wonder if I can get them in my Givi 46L?

[jay547]

ladyninja and i will probably go (depending on vacation availability.) we would be riding two-up as she is not fully recovered from her accident. is anyone else riding two-up? we don't really want to be the drag on a group ride.

[stromgal]

Jay, I wouldn't worry about it, there will be differing rides for different folks. I ride much slower than I used to, so I'll be looking for an alternative to the 'hair-on-fire' ride.

T-shirt order has been submitted.... If you register from this day on.  You most likely will get a shirt mailed you after the event is over.

[LtDaninBoca]

  IN !!!!
Paid for and EVERYTHING ! New tire on the Sprint to be installed tomorrow, pre-trip excitement released from dark recess of brain cells....

[MacGyver]

Yer lucky....  I ordered a couple extra XL's  

Today is the last day for the current registration rate.  Tomorrow, full entry fee with T-shirt is 60 bucks a piece!

Don't delay!  Sign up today!

[LtDaninBoca]

  MOST COOL !!!!  Thank You ! I knew all those random acts of kindness would pay off someday,,,

[MacGyver]

25 so far!

Remember, registration buys you dinner on Wednesday night!  Your gonna need that energy to drag all that swag home!

[MacGyver]

Do you want to learn a bit more about racing at Daytona or restoring a vintage Indian Arrow motorcycle?  

This gent will be joining us and he puts my knowledge base to severe shame.  Pick his brain,  he holds court like no other.

Jason, your efforts on behalf of this meet have been splendid. A shame more peeps aren't taking advantage of what you've put together!

+1 We are really looking forward to attending this year.

[MacGyver]

Thanks for the kind words.  I just ordered a special item for everyone. It's Luna approved!

[blackbuell]

MacGyver,

I see where May 19th is the T-shirt order deadline, but my schedule has just opened up for the Meet dates, and I might want to attend, assuming it's not too late to register.
