It probably should be: If not, I am planning on making this an annual event What can you say, ex-Navy guy.....  btw, I have not located any ramps yet. Might as well ask here. Anyone coming to the FL Rally that has some bike ramps (to load bikes in a pickup)??

Step two of sign up. I am trying to figure out how many meals and how many people at each meal to cook for. Since this is my first rally and my first time hosting one I may seem like I am doing this piece meal. But as an idea strikes me then I need to address it. So...If you could please start to think about what time you will be arriving. If you will eat Friday night, Sat AM, Sat Lunch is on the rode, Sat night and Sunday AM. I will need to know by around the 12th of January. Also I know not all people drink..so if you want soda instead beer PM and I will have what you want ready for you.
Thanks/Mark
Uh-oh. Late again! I'll have an answer by tomorrow.

Scuse Me.......I AM Planning on this being an annual event. As much depression as I see on the posts from the brothers and sisters up north. I think a mid winter rally in Florida every year should be something they can plan on.
rode 225 miles this weekend with a digital voice recorder so I can post directions this weekend...stay tuned. Looking for a good Biscuit cook any volunteers?

Hey you windshield-less one. Hope you really are OK. So are you rolling towards the Country Hills Estates for the Rally? When are you rolling in? I want to arrive Friday night, but have yet to talk to married-man about when he is passing my way from the great orange port. I think I was telling Lynn that we would roll Thursday afternoon?! I’m confused. I'll have to budget the time to allow me to ride all the way to the north side of Anita Bryant's lake! Whoa man gotta ride a couple of hours to attend a rally. I guess I'll know how some of those upstate NY boys feel?! The time draws near. The rally bug is biting...

In the immortal words of my buddy: hahahahahahahaha!! No trailer for me!
yota is supposed to be flying in Thursday night and staying with me and then using my truck for the weekend. Don't know if this was a bad move or not! We plan on heading up early Friday afternoon. Janet's friend is staying with us until she gets an apartment (long story) and if she is still here, Janet will be staying home.

I wasn't going to say anything. Thanks for picking me up Yute! Can't let Phil off the hook.
It looks like the Port Orange/ISC/NASCAR gang is heading down Friday night. We leave at 5pm and will arrive whenever. Still no lodging arrangements, but I expect a reservation to be made today. Moe, if you decide to leave Friday, we can swing by to get you or meet up. Otherwise, see y'all Saturday or Friday night.

In addition it appears there is some sort of "tribal council" meeting that same weekend that is taking the best motel rooms from us. Mark, leave your Custer impersonations at home that weekend. Okay buddy???????????

Make that me and the wife, Ghrahm. 2 bikes. Camping. If ya ask REAL nice, she will probably be available for biscuits Mark!
AS FOR RAMPS...I'm leaning toward bringing the Triumph down in the truck to avoid multiple trips to bring extra gear for the rally. Will bring smoker, 10x20 canopy/shelter, large cooler, motorcycle ramp, and the Boston Butts to smoke for Saturday night dinner, along with cooking tools of destruction!!!
later, Tom.

Heavy artillary in Okeechobee county IS mandatory! Hope everybody likes slow smoked pulled pork..... Moe- We came back from Bradenton on Tuesday and stopped in at the 'Sugar Shack' in beautiful downtown Fellsmere...it was a HOOT!! Dollar draft, and all the local color you could handle....nice folks. Told me that "next time you come by, be sure to park your bikes in the front grassy area, so they would be protected"! Told them there may just be a few Triumphs in town on Sunday of the Festival...That's when they proceeded to tell me about the Triumphs, Harley, and Indians they used to own. later, Tom.
