A couple of us from New England will be riding 1119 miles in unless we take a short cut through Georgia then the miles will be a little different. In 05 a wrong turn to EOM landed me in Colorado. More than a 1000 miles on that one too.
I am working on a way to make EOM this year... My funds are low this year for Motorcycle Adventures.
I have talked with Dan about some possible solutions including trailering the bikes and splitting the costs. I am not a fan of riding the bike nearly 2000 miles on the Super Slab... I save that for my J.O.B.
In a perfect world, If i can find 3 people who want to save money and their tires for the good stuff, And split the fuel by 4, This would be a CHEAP comfortable way to and from EOM and the 4000 miles of SLAB will be in Air Conditioned comfort.
Yes, I am ready for the Trailer Queen Jokes! If my time and money was more plentiful, I would ride it. You can count on that.
Let me see if I can cover some of this for you;
Yes, typically there are more ride routes availible than time to ride them; in Garmin GPX format and usually PDF as well for those with out Navigation systems.
Most travel in smaller groups (say 6 or so bikes) as it is easier to stay together and to keep tabs on each other. If larger groups form out of a desire to travel to the same location or route, I'd still suggest breaking that group down into smaller portions for ease of management by the lead rider. Look for posts as we get closer for guests to coordinate riding destinations / routes.
Soon; it is later than usual, but people have had a lot going on in their personal lives this past year; family and career responsibilities often take priority. Please be patient, it's on it's way.
My goal is to keep the rally fee as affordable as possible this year. the current target is $40 per person. This will include one t-shirt, Nametag /w lanyard, one ticket for the dinner banquet saturday night, and entry into the door prize raffle. Lodging is each attendee's responsibility, and there are options available to drive the per night lodging cost down (like the 2-3 bedroom cabins that can be split up like Wheaton and the Chi-town boys are).
As we get closer, we will gauge interest in a group BBQ for Friday night. I'd say the biggest draw to EOM (besides the riding) is the parking lot socializing. A great time to put faces to screen names, check out farkles first hand, pee on Fencer's bike seat, and listen to Ashe's Remus pipes "under load". The Cumberland Falls resort has a real nice balcony / deck overlooking the river that will make for a great place to hang out.
Nothing wrong with that; hopes this helps; Annette and I are looking forward to seeing everyone this September.
But the good news is, Larry, you won't be in South Floriduh!!
Get ready for some sweet roads. 
Don't worry. You have to mail in your completed passport, then they send you the shirt.Hey!! That sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Of course I'd want to collect some samples.
But, Josie tends to take up all my bag space with silly stuff like clothes. So not sure how I would get through 6 bottles in a weekend.
I wonder if I could get any help?
Well, duh!But I'm actually more interested in the bourbons than in the shirt.
Nope... They do sell it there, But it all has to be sent out for the taxation stamp. You might as well buy it from the liquor store... It's the same.
Great video! There's a dog named Max in the DC area who rides a K1300GT
Looks kinda similar to Duke.
Nobody I went to HS with rides an FJR. A few ride Harleys, and they think I'm nuts.
