Michael - you can just show up and anyone is welcome. However, the longer you wait for a room reservation, the more likely you will have to stay somewhere nearby instead of 'Bash Central'.

But by all means, people are welcome to just show up! Its just riding, eating, socializing, tire-kicking and a few adult beverages. (But not while riding!)

Thanks

Anyone is welcome on any brand. Just make your reservation and let us know you are coming. This is a semi-formal affair every year with a changing location. Three days of routes are suggested this year and you are free to go solo, form a group, or ride with a group. The meals are at your discretion, but Saturday Night is usually at local hangout where we can command a room or tables for door prizes, meal, libation, and the last chance to be together until the following year. I believe that the largest attendance was BBV with 29 riders.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22056#p193400 to reserve a room.

There should be plenty of room if not at the Myer Motel, certainly across the street at the Milford Motel 1-800-732-7307.

Can I bring a harley and ride in front of cyclerob? He loves the smell of unburnt hydrocarbons.

Whats wrong with Harleys 8-[
Nothing...I just remember cyclerob's highly racist with regards to harley's. :lol: He would say that he hated the smell of unburnt fuel coming out their rears! :mrgreen:

Nope.....Harley guys probably hate what I ride even more than an XR 8-[ ...Although they are probably happy that my bike is no longer being made...(hint hint)

Good call Steve!
Johnny, you seem to get bikes that I like as well. I beleive you had a Super Duke prior to the Uly. Did you not like the Duke? I had a chance to ride one once, but didn't take up the offer. Wished I had. Test rode the Uly before I bought the Roadster. I liked the ride and the torque but when a used 1150 came into the picture, it was game over.
Anyway, I hope to meet you in PA if all goes right this spring.

We will be thinking of you Wayne. Keep the faith.
BB8 may be too early in your recovery, but 2012 could be doable and it will most likely be closer to home.

I absolutely loved the S.D. and had a hard time getting rid of it. It was the most fun bike I've ever owned. Pretty comfy as well, as I road it 2 up to Deals Gap twice. The only complaint I had was the lack of luggage options. I did have a Ventura system on it, but for a week long trip, it wasnt enough. Also mine was an 06, (very rare in the U.S. as they werent imported till 07) which meant there was no windscreen at all available commercially. Doing 80mph on the slab was pretty darn hard. But...I was offered a straight up trade...my 06 S.D. with 17k, for a fully loaded 09 Uly with 6k (all the bags, comfort kit, radar detector, etc..) Got the Uly in Nov, took it on a 400 mile jaunt, and lemme tell you....most comfy bike I've ever been on. Had a harder time keeping the Uly front wheel down than the Super Dukes :shock: . If I could afford 2 bikes, I'd definately have a Uly and an S.D. but for the type of riding I mainly do now..the Uly works best. Only complaint with the Uly is the Idle rattle, thats when you can tell its a Hardley Engine :(
Next year I'm fixin to get an 08 S.D. to sit next to the Uly. Lookin forward to seeing you all again in PA and meeting those of you I havent yet met.

P.S. I Still miss Helga every once in awhile (my Rockster) :cry:
