Might show up just to say hi. Not much interested in the drinking or motel highjinks, too many good roads to ride.
|
Well I'm good for 5 days off this year. I'm stoked.
|
I am trying hard to get the Best Western to give me a block rate. So far I have about 4 solids and 4-5 maybes. I am asking then for a 5-10 room group deal and will post up when they call back. If we get a good deal I am going ahead and reserving for me and the Mrs. for Friday and Saturday night 0ay 6-7.
the website is www.eurekabw.com and they are MC friendly andideally located...If the price is right.. |
Smiley, ask them if they'll give us all a AAA or HOG membership discount. I can provide numbers for it.
|
Will do gas, if they ever return my calls. I am going to ditch them and shop around if I dont get contact today...
|
Best Western are the sponsored hotel for HD.
AAA is just good all over. |
Id already ditch them. Motels that want business will call back in no time.
|
Just got a call from Jeff. AAA rate is $103.45 for a room (2 queens or 1 King). The website shows all amenities here
http://www.eurekabw.com/motorcycles_eurekasprings.htm He said there was an FJR rally that same weekend 20-30 riders so if we wanted to block some rooms chime in quickly...I am in for a King Rm if this is the place. We need to get soem firm confirmations to make either one call or get all the members to reserve as soon as possible... |
what about Iron horse stables... that's where I camped in 08 on my way to indy. motorcycle only I think... or at least friendly
|
Eh. Anything cheaper? I just need a cot.
|
Yeah, the Iron Horse is where you were at Ebbs. Before I shop around what is the price range? I thought some of you were doubling up with 2 queen sized so 50 a night really aint bad for hot tubs, swimming pools, bike wash, resturaunts in walking distance ect. If you all just want a cot or a tent, stay in my back yard, I wont charge ya...
|
Why don't we just camp out at your place?
|
I got one spare room but room for tents in the back yard...Elkins isnt ideally located but I like it.

I looked at other spots in Eureka, this one seems to be primo as for location/price/amenities. We can chase FJR forum folks around the Ozarks so plus! Anyhow it beats my back yard, a kiddie pool, and a porta john. Although I am not completly adverse to a Smileypalooza...
|
What's the age range here? Is it gonna be party all night kinda of thing? I think my dad wants to make the trip. He's no square but if we're all a bunch of mid 20 yr olds running nude down the street, I'm not sure if he'll enjoy it or he might. I don't know.
Also I'm not a super fast pace guy so don't expect me to be dragging knees. I can't risk going this far and wrecking. I'll keep up but I'll ride at my own pace. Then theirs my dad. He does his own thing and doesn't mind be left behind but I don't want him riding alone all day. |

As for the nightlife I am 41 and as you can see in some of the pics I regress back to a 20 yr old LOL unless the mrs comes shes the voice of reason. |
I'm 40, my bed time is 10 pm although I may stay up an extra 30 to visit and get to know everyone. I dont drink much unless I am alone and bored. I ride slow with the Mrs on back, if she ain't I ride to get arrested...
|
Well I want to see the arresting... so maybe she'll have to barder to ride on the back of my Ultra. :D
|
I'm in. I'll reserve Tuesday, someone else better come tho...
Penny? She would probably love to ride the glide...but she likes speed. I just cant do fast with worrying about orphaning my kid. She used to race me home from work, me on the YZF, her in the 350Z... |
Well I dont go fast when I have a passenger. Ok I don't go fast regardless in the twists... I'm on a 2 wheeled RV. Plus I don't want to break the LCD tv in the side bag. But there really isn't much out there more comfortable, maybe a Wing.

is that it? 4 to 6 rooms? hhmmmm
|
Get me a room, I'm pretty much down with anything that has a bed.
And Rangerscott, I'm pretty slow too, you and your dad can keep pace with me. |
Quote:
Is May here yet? I'm ready to go! I'll leave OKC Friday afternoon and get there before the sun goes down. I'm ready! |
You'll likely have to call for the rate, Trace
|
I'm prolly the slowest one on the board and I think my old man might join in on this and he is even slower then me so I'm sure no one will be left behind the group rides are very well put together and no one gets left behind

better call in individually so they will know which forum your with...I did not get a group buy rate, just the HOG or AARP rate disc applies... |

My father keeps asking me when this is so I'm pretty sure he wants to go. I need to double check that I can get this time off, dad can get the time off, and I'll get back with ya.
|
Good gosh I'm excited about this. Ya'll have no clue to how excited I am to actually leave state for the first time in my life to go on my own trip. I'm gonna get on some websites and find the best deal on a whale foreskin riding suit.
|
I called to reserve there last week and couldnt get an answer...Anyone else already called?

I only rode about 5 times last year because of shitty roads where I'm living now. Got a new job and moved back out into my own place. About to buy a new car since I'm still driving my first car. Decided the money could be used better elsewhere.
Planning on buying a new one next year. Probably something more along the lines of a v-strom. |
Whatever you want homie!

Gawd, I'll never live that down. And it wasnt "better" than you all, it was "I'm not supposed to be as retarded as the rest of you".
:lol: I was referring to you guys practically carrying me around, not you lefty. Tho that would have been a goodone if I'd thought of it. Dammit. |
There are a few ages I forgot to mention
Tommy 40 Chi 29 (again) Tigger 52 (minus his gfs age, so really 35) |
Hey asshole, this is the first time at 29...next year you can put "again" behind it. :lol:
