For those of you wanting to know the status of the 2011 SW-FOG, it will be held once again in Taos, New Mexico at the Best Western Kachina Lodge. The exact dates are not yet finalized, but should be by the first part of next week.
There has been discussion concerning holding it during the week or again on a weekend. I am currently working with Cheryl at the Best Western Kachina Lodge on good room rates and other goodies such as Free Breakfast each day, Bike Wash, Drink deals and such. Once I will have all of the details I will post them and ask our illustrious leader GalaxyBlue to Pin the thread.
The dates in question right now are September 6th, 7th & 8th (Tue, Wed & Thur), 2011 and September 9th, 10th & 11th (Fri, Sat & Sun). I have received both positive and negative responses concerning these dates.
So PLEASE, if you have $.02 cents you'd like to add, now is the time. IM me your comments!!! Labor Day weekend is out because the cost of rooms skyrocket!
The decision to have the SW-FOG at the Best Western Kachina Lodge again is being based on several factors; receiving many requests from attendees, great accommodations and customer service from all of the staff there, weather and road conditions and the location being perfectly located so as to attract riders from all over. I do want everyone to be aware there are a few other motorcycle rallies being held the weekend of Sept 9-11 also in Taos, such as, the New Mexico BMW's, the New Mexico Triumph Club and another large (all makes & models) group that call themselves the "Band of Brothers". So Taos, NM will be inundated with a variety of motorcycles that weekend. I think it could make it all that more interesting. I know many wanted Colorado, but the somewhat unpredictable weather, high room rates and lack of facilities large enough to house our group along the western slope made Colorado difficult.
Last year, I requested that 25 rooms be held in reserved for us. But we ended up filling 44 rooms. So this year we are starting with 40 rooms and work from there. Smoking rooms will be available upon request.
