Not to mention the one you are going to is on the west coast so it would not draw to many members from the eastern half of the nation.
Also there are only 7 members confirmed to attend according to the poll.
So 5 off brands and 2 Kawasakis isn't really that, to use your word,"pathetic"
That's what I was thinking too TC. For those in the western coast that think Arkansas is too far for them can join the Tahoe group for the Various Bagger rally

I didn't remember saying Eureka Springs was too far. Oh that's right, I didn't. I would just rather go to Tahoe. My brother lives up that way and it gives me a chance to stop and visit him.

At least it's within a days ride. I'd have to go 2500 miles. Ain't happening anytime soon.

Tahoe isn't within a days' ride for us. At least I wouldn't want to ride it in one day.

Still have the Nomad Dave. With years like last year, virtually no riding makes them last that much longer.

Yup. I would want 3 weeks off for that ride.

Yeah but I think they dropped the ball in 09 when they changed the Nomad.
You know I looked hard to find a bike when I decided to sell my 07.
A low mileage 08 was all I could find that I liked.

They tell me I'm dying....my challenge then is to ride til they find me in the ditch !

Do the dates for Tahoe overlap with "The Big-Un", in Arkansas ? ...I might be "inspired" to head for both !...seem's tho perhaps short...Time.. is what I have !

They screwed up big time with the revised bikes. No consideration for what the current owners wanted.

Sam, starting from the day of our birth we are all dying. We're on different schedules but the destination is the same for all of us. Hang in there and I hope to see you in Tahoe.
