There have been several members across the country expressing an interest lately about meeting up in person. Let's start a real discussion about this and see what we can come up with.
I would begin by proposing a very general idea.
*Pick a spot in the midsection of the US
*Post some suggested dates
*Assess the interest (in terms of numbers)
*Narrow the plan down to a specific location that can accommodate everyone
*Ride, ride, ride
I'll start.
Let's have a general meet-up for members and any friends and significant others who would like to attend.
A 2 or 3 night stay would give time to have a proper meeting and allow for those who may only be able to make a day visit at the beginning or the end.
Something within a 200 mile radius of Kansas City seems pretty neutral and central but we can adjust location based on where the farthest members would be coming from.
My wife and I go to a rally in Panama City Beach, FL and visit friends along the Gulf Coast each spring at the end of April. We could add a week to that trip and say plan this event for late April or early May. This is just a starting point for discussion, any time could be made to work.

The weekend of June, 5,6,7 has been proposed. <= scratch that
**The weekend of June 12,13,14 is available at The Hub in Marble Falls, AR.**
The place of northwestern Arkansas has been proposed. <= see line above
I will figure out how to apply a poll to this thing so we can vote, maybe. <= see last few pages for "voting"
It seems she misunderstood bbally's reservation. He asked for 20 rooms and she remembers that as 20 people, 10-15 rooms. FWIW, I was reading reviews of the place and some people say that she forgot to do some things she told them she'd do.
On the bright side, The Hub is rated #1 out of 1 in Marble Falls.
Ok all,
I made my reservation today, arrive on 06/12/15 and depart on 06/15/14. I will be relocating to Chesapeake, VA. the end of November, 2014, so if anyone wants to hook up I am planning on departing the tenth or eleventh providing nothing comes up between now and then.
reserved a room also. now the question is should i wear my orange pumps
with the yellow chaps or the green pumps for the weekend.........hmmmmm,
decisions, decisions.
It was mentioned earlier, but would there be any interest in T-shirts for the meet? I have a good supplier that does a good job for around $20 each. They are 100% cotton. If there is interest, I will start working on a design.

I just made my reservation too. She said "Oh you must be with the V-twin forum group". I'm glad we don't need to make a deposit.
I hope I can make it and take the time off. I already have a big vacation next September planned and I may need to take time off for operations. My back doc just recommended that I get the disk removed and fuse the spine.
In an act of my almighty clownliness, I hereby remove Gman as planner-in-chief, and replace him with bbally. All in favor, signify by saying aye, all opposed, signify by saying nay.
I am not planner in chief, I am the Prez. I have given the planning job to bbally. While you are busy having your little vote, I will get back to my ride.
A band would be great, but is it really necessary? With the small crowd we're going to have? After a few adult beverages, I figure we'll be able to keep ourselves entertained.
just got off the phone with ms. Debbie at the hub. im reserved for the 12th through the 14th. ill be coming solo but i got the two beds in case somebody cant get a room.

While Gman is phucking off I will keep this update going. But I am NOT dancing.
Red bold means I know you have made your reservation.
We are down to the nut cutting gentlemen.... sure it up with a 48 hour cancelation policy if you are pretty sure, make the call and get a room!
Let me know by bitchiing on this thread or PM if you have a reservation (Hotel reservation, not reservation about the people you have elected to hang with) and I will update the list.

Just called Debbie's voicemail won't take messages as it's full.
Will keep trying but mark me as in! Its only about 700 miles from here so might take it easy and leave the 11th and arrive sometime the 12th.
I will throw in for BBQ meat either provided by the mostly insane clown posse or the hub makes no difference for me. I will either bring a date or not. Dependent on the dating situation at the time. Too far out in the future to determine if the current back seat is going to make it...LOL.
I am bringing my dock siders, izod shirts, and khaki pants not sure if going pleated or non pleated....
Ok it is obvious by some of the post many of you are on medications.
Please start listing the meds you are on and the time you need to take them so we can be sure medication time at The Hub is held at the correct time everyday.
There will not be much bail money in the budget, so it is best we keep you as balanced as your doctor feels necessary with proper doses and times.
