K.C. Plant Tour : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

Fireberry · 08-21-2006, 09:37 PM

Kansas City here we come.

Gail and I will be making the trip to KC in a few weeks. I don’t do so well on the road but, its kind of hard to let this type of opportunity go by without at least trying to make it.

I will trailer the Fatboy because I just don’t want to put Gail on the back of that machine for 14 hours. I would love to ride but, it would be just to hard for her all that time. So if I gots to get me chops broke then lets get it started. Good news for the girlies as they can have the Durango to go do what girlies like to do. Mostly that is to spend money on silly things like rent, food, elect/water instead of important things like Stage II and Chrome, Pipes, and Tire Mod. Kits. You know the 4 basic food groups.

I spoke with Gray today and we will take the room that His son-in-law was going to use. Tell him thanks but, would have like to have met Him too.

We also talked about this. My G.M. at my store came from corporate in Milwaukee He will TRY to get us a personal tour of the KC Harley plant. He knows and has friends there. If that is a go I will get him to make some calls and try to set it up for Friday as I am sure they will be closed on Monday. If it is not a good idea then just let me know and I will not put him to the trouble. Not a sure thing but, he will try.

Most of us were rolling in Fri. How late could the tour take place.
Can't speak for the rest, but I'd bust my a$$ to get there in time, but the later the better. Rock, Atilla and Gray will be riding in to my neighborhood around dark on Thursday, so I'd like to not kill them on Fri, if it can be helped.
That's SO cool, Jeb...

If they run the plant on Sat. I can try for that instead. Let me get with the man tomrrow and see what they can do.

Um... I know you guys have your little riding click and all, but I would also be interested in the plant tour... I doubt that I will be there until late Friday... if I'm still alive.

Did someone compile a phone list?

My wife is making noises about flying in... but I'll be solo set up on my bike... truck sounds like it may work out well for her if that is cool.

Whatever you do, do not ask for the Doof tour.

That is why we are telling you now, Mr. Ball, in case you need to adjust your arrival a bit. I'm thinking they won't work on the Saturday before Labor Day just for us, and they probably won't stay over on Fri just for us, but maybe if they know it's us we can get them to just leave the keys under the welcome mat so we can just go in and wander around at our leisure. Failing that...
I love ya' and all, but I ain't gonna turn it down if they're gonna be closed when you get there.
We'll make drawings of it for you if it comes to that. No cameras.

Clique, BTW...

First off, you can kiss my ass... can't believe you wouldn't sacrifice for me...

Spelling is the first to go when I get all Italian and shlt.

I'll get right on that phone list thing tomorrow. OK if I call to verify yours when I get up at 6:15 EDT?

You should be able to recognize my voice mail by now...

Fire,
You're the man. I'll just take some of Gray's meds if I need to to keep me rolling on Friday. I want to see the tour! Tallly Hooooooooooo!

GrayRider · 08-22-2006, 09:48 AM

Saturday would be ideal, if possible.

8-Ball · 08-22-2006, 11:49 AM

Saturday would be better for me, I won't be there until Sunday...

GrayRider · 08-22-2006, 01:11 PM

Sounds like a lot of fun. Be sure you take some pictures and bring them by the pool to show me when you get back.
