SE Rally

[reaper]

Enjoyed riding with everyone yesterday. Waited for a phone call until 11 today. No joy. So took off on my own. Hard to believe after a 14 hour ~ 800 mile drive I got hung out to dry by fellow VBA members. I'll think long and hard about attending the next rally.

Bummer. Maybe they had the wrong phone number.

Did you realize this wasn't the "Make Reaper Happy Rally"? "MRHR"

Ol' doggies tend to learn new tricks.

Count your blessings that I wasn't nominated for Rally Coordinator. I only know Harley boys and it would have been wake up around 10, start riding to bars around 11, drank beer, eat nachos, shoot pool, smoke cigarettes at about four different bars until about 2 in the morning. Ride back to the motel, drank some more beer, talk about who's ass you almost whupt, pass out and do the something the next day after you go bail out who ever got pinched for a DUI.

It'll be about a ten mile loop.

I think that's why they get up and leave me sometimes too. I've caught them many times coasting their bikes down a hill before cranking them. Notice a base motel is always on top of a hill. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Ever noticed a base motel is always on top of a hill? Custer, Estes, Helen, Maggie Valley. All of the at the top of hills and/or mountains. Where was Super 8? If you guessed on top of the highest mountain in Elkins you guessed right. Having a rally at the same motel is virtually unheard of, except with this bunch.

I hope I ain't setting myself up for the next victim of a simple misunderstanding. "Y'all said 9". No, we said 7:30". "You should have called".

We tried to reach you a number of times, no response.
You were told to be at the motel by 9 AM to discus the days ride.
This is what happens when people do not stay at the base motel, things go wrong.
Sorry you feel you were hung out to dry but a phone call from you to the motel would have solved your problem.

@coacha - tom had my number
@topcat - a number of calls made, by who you? Don't think so. No voice mails.
I was "told to be at the motel by 9 to discuss the days ride", again by who? This is a bald faced lie. Don't you think that if I was told to be there @ 9 I would have been.
This is not caused by not staying at the base motel. This is caused by piss poor leadership.
I did go by the motel and the only things in the parking lot was Toms truck and trailer.
At least I was courteous enough to call Tom to tell him I would not be attending Thursdays ride as we decided to leave to break up the drive into two days.

Ok, I'm through with this pissing match

[Top Cat]

Bottom line Doug,
A person not staying at the base motel is responsible for his own actions or in your case, inaction
bud2rat stayed at a camp ground and he was sharp enough to call or stop at the motel to get the ride plan and go on the ride
Poor leadership my ass, this was one of the best led rallies I have attended. The rides were great and comradery even greater.
If you want ot pass the blame that is up to you, but next time you attend a rally of any kind, either stay with the group or take the incentive to find out the info.

SE Rally will meet at Super 8 on Thursday day morning 8:45 am In Elkins WV if you want to know where and when we are going SHOW UP

[Kawhead]

I for one, am just devastated, heartbroken, and feel turrable 'bout this tragic situation!

Look at the bright side, you still got Hampton votes and they were still there when you took a notion to show up.

Hung out to dry is a good thing. Something left in a wet pile gets moldy and stinks to high heaven.

Don't think long and hard about attending the next rally, that may be the reason you missed the ride Thursday.

# 1 The day you missed we did not leave motel until after 1230 pm on the ride $2 I did tell you we would decide about the ride about 9 or so on acct rain when we were at restaurant, #3 I did call your cell phone and left 2 messages on voice mail #4 you did have MY number to call and see what was going on. No matter how well things are planned some things slip thru the cracks all in all we had a good rally
