Title: Upcoming Rally by the River
Post by: Kevin Mahoney on September 16, 2007, 06:37:45 pm

The Rally by the River in Steelville MO is coming up in a couple of weeks. Who is coming? I have my reservations made and wouldn't miss it.

I plan to ride from Salina, KS, only about 450 miles.  This will also be my first attempt at tent camping.  Looking forward to meeting you.  I'll be the old guy trying to pitch a tent.

I'm still in.
I think I got my gearbox leak fixed and my bike is running good right now.
But the Electra Glide is sitting right next to it. Cush seat! Tunes! 80 on the freeway! Lighter!
Naw, I'll take the Bullet. Got too much grief in years past.


Leonard,
First attempt at tent camping eh?
One word, Therm-a-Rest
Lot's of acorns.
I'll be the old-fart with the tent already set up.
P.S. Don't trust MapQuest as to where the campground is.
Had me heading in the wrong direction the first year I went there.

I had been thinking it would be a great one to come to..  But, my foot says differently. :(

Thanks for the advice, good to know that there will be another O.F. there.

Don't listen to the foot. Lots of tape and map out your route so you don't have to shift much.
See ya there.
