Member Contributer didit Posted September 15, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just checked with the Hotel, there are 6 rooms booked out of the initial 20 room block. Guessing some who have booked, did so outside the actual block, but hope you got the same rate. Once the block is gone, aparently the rate may go up a little. When you call, be sure to request the VFRD group block and room rate. Already have some of the goodies attendees will get confirmed. Only 331 more sleeps till travel time!

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted September 15, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted September 15, 2011 They seem to have a difficult time identifying the block when speaking with them. There looks to be at least 3 stories they've given - they told me 2 were taken when I booked, but before me they told Axel7 that 8-9 (can't they tell?) were taken and now they say 6. Hmmm . . . they did quote me the correct rate but I may call them back to confirm they still see me on the correct dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer rangemaster Posted September 17, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2011 CONGRADULATIONS! Vanion.

Snakeman Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Looks like plans are in the works to make the Summit! I just need to decide if I should look at going to Sturgis the week before or to the Salt flats Speed week in Bonnville the week after. I really want to check out and say i've been to both of these.

Dean, there's lots of good riding in the Black Hills of SD. It's especially better when there aren't 500,000 pirates clogging up the area. Have a stop at Ellsworth airforce base while you're in Rapid City. Tour the museum. Very worthwhile. You'll get into a minuteman missile silo!

Member Contributer rangemaster Posted November 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted November 26, 2011 That would cool as hell done in gray on a black T-shirt. I'll pick up mine there, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortWorthVFR Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Would very much like to to this. It'll be my first "major" bike trip. I've got no issues with heading up that way on my own, but is anyone from the north Texas area planning on going? It's only 850 miles of slabbing it, which would be two relatively easy days to get out there. Leave on Monday, back on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Willy Posted November 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well I'm putting the dates on the calendar. Have a few other "dates" I need to work out as well but it looks doable at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sold the KLR and I will be scouring the web over the winter for my next bike... no idea what to get, but I always thought the RWB anniversary VFR was a nice set up.... may be time to get back into the VFR fold and do a longer road trip next summer (hint hint).

Member Contributer Polarbear Posted December 2, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2011 My wife is due for our first baby in April. I wonder if she will be willing to let me run off for a few days by August? If I were you, I'd stay put. But with only one, it's still doable I think, although sleepness nights are sleepness nights no matter what... Good luck. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do what's in my family's best interest first of course, but if she gives me the kitchen pass I won't say no. And congrats on your newest addition as well.

Member Contributer didit Posted December 2, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2011 For those of you with new (or expected new) borns around that time, just get a wife for your wife. Do you remember everything that happened when you were <1? You can be an even better dad when they are old enough to remember you being a good dad, like teaching them how to ride, wearing the right gear and what to pack on a long road trip. Then, when the SumSum 8 (in 2030) comes around you'll be the proud daddy, to have them with you. Then you can show them pictures of the old days when we used to use gas, have to plan a route on a GPS thingy, and even slow down to pay 'the man' for what they used to call a speed limit. Then when they ask, "hey isn't that you in that picture?". "Wasn't I born that summer?" You can show them the scars (from mom). Okay, maybe you better make your own decisions. Afterall, look at what happened to Mad Max. Alone, with a dog, in the wasteland. Avoiding Pirates and thinking about his buddies that used to ride together. Of course, Max drives a cage.
