2012 rally dates POLL
 

Here is a poll, pick the dates that works for you and I will decide when we go.

If multiple dates work for you, vote for all that apply. I'll start, I vote once for each.

Remember, if you come, this too can be you:

Awesome!!

Remind me to bring my own shot glass this year. Should help throttle it.

People need to post up what dates they definitely can't make and factor that into your decision derf. Give some leeway to people we know will come, that way we get the people who don't bail. :lol:

Anything fron june 2-5th going forward I def cant make

Definitely can't make it anytime 24 to 29 May. The 25th is my daughter's birthday and this is my year to have my daughter all Memorial Day weekend. I'm likely out other weekends in June, but honestly won't know until school starts in the first week of June and I know what the professors are going to require. I may be the guy that shows up at the last minute and hopes someone will let me throw a sleeping bag on the floor.

be happy yo udont snore the way I do, most wont want me as a room mate, unless riceaholic shows up he is as bad as I am :lol:

I am just getting my own room this time, lol

Sorry bout that, we can stay at that no tel motel and we can all just randomly take soem rooms

Steal all the rooms!

That was epic. We should of put bikes in the rooms and took pictures of them sleep in the beds and shit.

next time.....

This poll is invalid, as there is no option referencing Tater's whore of an ex-wife.

There is no way my bike is fitting thru any door way short of a big slider. Just sayin...

we will make room so it fits :rockwoot:

Just enlarge the doorway, i doubt they would notice.

well I most def can't make it the middle week of May. So I voted for the last week of May. too early to tell if I can make it though.

May is best
 

I'm off 24 -30 may so that would be the best and I would have to take no vacation for any of those dates.

Perhaps this year I can make it.:chug:

I voted for the last week of May too. That's Memorial Day weekend, and if there *is* going to be a better turnout, my guess is that's the best way to get it.

Look who makes an appearance.

How many people?
How many rooms?

I will call down there and make some resv....

I think we need to know which weekend it will be before making reservations. I think it woul dbe best putting us back ewhere we were last year. Wont piss off as many people that way LOL

labor day weekend, i'm in

that I may be able to make too :lol:

That memorial day weekend is going to be REAL RUFF!!!

Spoke to Vickie about it...

She has 30 of the 42 rooms booked including the rooms we want. She's going to call and check to see if that group is still going to book those rooms. But it's only been a week since they held those rooms and 10 rooms have already been held with a credit card.

She said all of the places around there are going to be booked bad that weekend.

I think we are going to need a different weekend.

I do too, holiday weekends are bad, we want less traffic, not more.

Excellent points, weekends are bad as it is throw in a holiday weekend, plus peoples personal obligations.

Vickie said she will get us in our old rooms if we really want them... but that is only 4 rooms.

But it might be hard to get extra rooms....

I think that any holiday weekend should be a NO GO...

too much traffic
too many cops
hard to book rooms

We need to nail down more percise dates...

I will handle checking those dates with Big Lynn.

The weekend before got one less vote, unless anyone has a better date

the 19th to the 22nd? That may work better for me. karens due date is still the 12th of june

Works for me

Weekend before sucks for me cause I'll have to burn a bunch vacay to get that off!!

What about May 12-13 weekend?????

I can do that too, fo rme the earlier the better this way its further away from the due date. Dont want to get popped doing 120 on 81 becasue i gotta get home because someones water broke ;)

Works for me too

ebbs said it was too early for him, he could of made the labor day weekend

you mean memorial day weekend?

yeah oops memorial day.

June 9-10th weekend?

But it screws Capt Snore due to his wife's due date...

keep it up lil guy :lol:

Yeah yeah yeah... :lmao:

He's probably going to come early anyway. Seems like everyone i know has had them about a month early this and last year.

I can't do anything in May unless it's the last weekend. we have the Special Olympics we host on base and it's a PITA to plan.

Later is fine

June 9-10

????

I don't care but would rather thurs-sun format....:idk:

yeah not sure why I voted for the other format... :idk::screwy:

I am def out for that week

have we decided on a weekend for this? I am hoping to get soem stuf fin before the baby arrives so I want to start makin gplans. I am hoping we get a week that works for me but if not I may try getting in a few track days instead and shoot for a few good day trips.

I may bail on a spring rally this year. May be moving into a house in may-june time frame and just can't make plans til that's ironed out.

We can just the date back...

Thats what I am hoping on, I would much rather get a trip like this in as it will be harder after the baby, but may be able to do a day trip for a track day.

I definitely won't be able to make it if it is moved up. It will have to be summer or fall. Thinking about just doing the BMWMOA in july.

I would like to figure out when this is happening, my teaching schedule gets pretty brutal during parts of the year. I'm off til the 19th, I think it's my longest break for a while. What is the thought about doing it later in the year?

I dont think a spring one is, we may do a small get together for summer or fall though. I can't make a spring one. I will be getting situated with a new house, so I am out til summer.

I would be up for a trip0 down in may if you guys want to go, then could go back in the fall for the official rally. Sept/oct should be workable for me withthe baby.

Dammit, I'll have to see about May, I think I'm back-to-backing until the end of the fiscal year, but I'm supposed to burn 26 days of leave between now and then, and out of the three qualified instructors one of them expects me and the other guy to do everything at work while she does nothing. So I'm not sure.

We aren't doing May now. I think a few of us were thinking about July. Maybe meeting up for the BMWMOA rally in Arkansas/Missouri.

I hadn't thought about going to the National, but I could be talked into it I think. That doesn't sound like a bad idear, and it's not *that* far from me.

I been wanting to get out that way for some time, but I don't think I will stay near the national. Cause hotels are probably full already, probably try to stay in Arkansas and ride over to the national to hang out a day or so.

You do realize that Sedalia is closer to the middle of the state, and not really near the Arkansas border right? LOL.

Heck, as close as that is, I could *almost* be talked into actually camping. Since it's only like 2 tanks of gas away. LOL.

Yeah, I was thinking of staying in Springfield or somewhere kinda inbetween the two or staying in the Ozarks for a few days and then stay near Sedalia for a day or two. I'm not camping.

Thats a bit too far for me to take off foresp just after karen has the baby. Besides trip wont share a room with me untill I get my sleep apnea fixed :lol:

We may try and do a BRP ride again in Sept/Oct time frame.

Count me in for that. We should time it for soem good leaf peeping. Also didnt you say theres soem other cool stuff there we can check out.

Yeah, that's when I want to do it. I want to try and bring my wife this time and convince GM to bring Uma and her bike.

See if she will bring those shoes and put them on her shoulders for us in person:rockwoot:

hell yeah, lol

will make for an interesting evening after several beers :)

Just think of the old people passing our rooms and hearing us drunk yelling "PUT THAT DAMN SHOE ON YOUR SHOULDER!!!!"

All goes well they will put us in the far corner again. maybe we can get capts girlfriend and the one at the front desk to come and put shoes on their shoulders too
