Wow! Thanks Pete, but Lynn will be with me. Last year a boatload of various motels and hotels were available. Heck I might tuck Lynn and I into a B&B somewhere, you know get us away from the hairy one's antics (Even though I love that dude) . The Filigree Inn is one of many B&B's for instance. But in reality I'll try for one of the mom & pops places on Lakeshore Drive. And if push comes to shove, I will take you up on your most generous offer.

Edited: Except for anyone else who claims it before then.

Hey Pete, if nobody else claims it I might want in on that room with ya...

Hey all,

Since I'm feeling guilty that the band is claiming floor space downstairs in the music room, (I'll find out how many tonight) the least I can do is offer my tents if anyone wants to use them.

And hey...what's up with the windshield? I thought someone would jump on that. I'm not a haggler with people I think well of so name a price that you think is fair and it's yours. I checked for parts and the only thing missing is the rubber grommet that goes behind the lower attach point.

Pat,

I was talking to a couple of guys riding BMW's at the toymakers on Sunday and told them about our rally. They told me they had a BMW rally at Watkin Glens a couple of years ago and the only guys who got to ride the track had to have full leathers, no jeans or half helmets and you had to have gloves.

Ah, but we have Ryan! He knows the guys since he works for {eddited for accuracy}International Speedway Corporation, not in any way affiliated with Nascar.
They set it up for us, they told me they haven't allowed bikes in awhile but are making an exception for us.
Ain't we special?

Here's the patch for this year:

Looks great nice design

I eddited the post so as not to get ya sued!
Keep us posted.

Helmets, boots, jeans, gloves, etc. I don't know where the racing leathers, etc. came from, but it might have been a racing school requirement. Watkins Glen does not normally allow riding groups on the track, but they are willing to make an exception on our behalf. I was actually told that we could get away with just helmets, but most of us, I assume, will be wearing the other gear.

That is the word. If anything changes, y'all will be the first to know!

Ryan

what?? this means I have to wear pants?

How did the MRI work out?

got in a good nap

The tech wouldn't give me any results, they're sending them straight to my doctor...I better find out soon though.

looks like I'm scrapping the watkin's glen ride if you guys are gonna make me wear pants...

we could play battle tubes instead, I hear some people are going to Niagara Falls....could be an intersting arena

sweet...or battle barrels as we're floating towards the falls

AND...I don't have to wear pants!

I guess that leaves just 1 question. Would we want to knock each other outa the barrels b4 we get to the falls? while were falling? or after we reach the bottom?

and what happens if we sink one? Well we could always pack a couple of inflatable tubes and continue as battle tubes on that occasion.

Thats nota bad idea always should be prepared. Which reminds me ill bring the camels if you bring the turkey.

ooooh baby! The turkey's on its way

We all know Yota will be in the Battle tubes.

Did I say pants? I meant pants or a leopard print thong.

I have an extra bed for any non-snorer. I am a pretty light sleeper. If there are no takers, perhaps we should consolidate our rooms Pete?


Ryan

Well if it's what it takes...I guess I'll have to suck it up and wear a leopard-print thong then...

Dang Ryan if I didnt already have a place to sleep I would take you up on that offer! Of course we would probally just end up snuggleing up on the curb again so i wouldent really need the other bed.

You had to remind us of that little incident, eh?

Ok gang...I know this is a rhetorical question, but do you have any idea just how friggin weird this conversation is. I mean, what if some Harley dudes were listening in?

BB

if you're feeling lonely over there...I may not have Matt's strikingly good looks or Yota's hairy back, but I'll snuggle up with ya

Just wait till I get you all "turkeyed up"

Benny,
I guess you get the room.
I did not think Moe would take it, but I had to offer.
He and Lynn like to have a room to themselves, and I don't blame them.

That's cool. If someone else in line, then that's cool. But I'd certainly appreciate it.

Hello Pat,
Well I've been watching this post for some time now debating about coming up, well I am going to try to make it. If I come up it will be on Friday. I'll be coming from State College, PA. I also mentioned it to some people from the local RAT pack. I hope that was okay. I'll let you know as soon as I do if anyone else is coming up. The Rally sounds really super. It will be nice to go somewhere that there won't be all HD's. I'm really looking forward to this. See you in Sept.! -- Scott

Scott (slp...)
Absolutely. come on up and join in the fun, which I personally guarantee you will have. If not, I'll give your money back, oh wait, it's free..
Have some of the RAT guys come if they wish, all are welcome. I know there are at least 2-3 other bA.com members right there in SC, PA as well, inn fact, Matt and Litzerski are going to meet up there and ride up from State College together.
The Lafayette Motel is all full, you can call the Pinewood Manor 585.394.0150, about 200 yards down the road, and they still have rooms as far as I know. (the music on hold is the music from the original Pong game, weird).
There is plemnty of camping room in my back yard and there are also tons of other motels and B&Bs in the very close area, at least 10 within 2 miles of my house. It is big tourist area and the season has pretty much ended after Labor Day. So finding a room after arrival is not hard.

Thanks for the reply Pat. Somewhere I saw something about a t-shirt and pin. Where do I go and sign up for a large t-shirt and pin?

hey all.. looking farward to meeting every one at the rally..for the rider's or any one wishing to ride with me and my wife vicki to Niagara Falls..
