I have managed a few good rides the last week or so, but the weather is turning wet now for sure. Things are definitely slow in this section, but if you look at the member map, there aren't many of us here.
Greg have you given any thought to the National Rally next summer...?? I have been mulling it over and I would really like to try and go. I think rickyboy is going and I know BigJohn is mulling it over too. Not sure about Rich. If we made the commitment, it would be awesome if we all hooked up for the ride back there...that would be a blast for sure. Just thinkin' out loud.... :)!

There is no doubt I would like to go but it is just too early for me to commit for so long of time. I am self employed and with this economy I don't know how things will look until we get closer to the date.
Even if I can't go the whole trip I wouldn't mind meeting up and riding with the group for as long as possible, even if it is only 2-3 days. I think we have a good group of guys in the NW. Haven't seen any posts from RKsaw for awhile?

I would prefer to ride three 400's on the way out for two reasons. You could take a more scenic route for one, and two, the end of the second day (@ 800 miles) would put us in Billings, MT. I have a good friend who lives there and I could hang with him for a night (and save a couple $$ staying at his place... ). The rally is Tues-Wed-Thurs., so if we left on Saturday, we would arrive Monday afternoon. Like I said...I'm not sure either...not sure if the wife wants to go or not and less sure if I can go without her... ;). I'd like to make up my mind soon however, so I can make the reservations. RKsaw has been kind of quiet lately...maybe he's mulling over his voter pamphlet...!

Because I will be transitioning from my present position to a new church, I will need to see what they expect of me before I commit to anything, but if I can't go all the way to Custer, I'd at least like to find a way to swing the ride to Missoula. Rich |

hay gang! Yep, I'm seriously considering the ride. Just dont' know how to handle the Misses. But, at present I'm leaning towards making the run. I've done Red Lodge for three years and I've never had a chance to explore S. Dakota. It would be awsome.
Rich - God speed on the new church.

the best way to handle the misses is to bring her along,that's
why they put two seats on the nomad.

It is too early for me to project my work commitments but I intend to participate for at least 2-3 days and more if it works for biz.

I plan to go. Will probably leave here and plan to make it in one day. Only around 600 miles so that will be an easy day.

On a side note, I talked to my buddy in Billings today and he says he has room for lots of us to stay there the second night of our trip (which he does) if anyone likes. It's just him and his wife and they have two extra bedrooms, a huge couch plus a large downstairs area people can spread out a sleeping bag or whatever. We could lounge on his back porch, enjoy some beer or cocktails and have a big crab feed or something (we can get fresh dungeness crab at the local Costco store in Billings). I was just back there in Sept. grouse hunting and he was just out here fishing. In fact, they will be out here next week too, she on business and he fishing with me again...go figure! They are good people (great friends) and are more than willing to open their place up to us on our ride to Custer next June.... :). Cheers...Kris

I don't know ??? if I'm going to ride out to Calgary Alta. and pick up a friend and then travel south through Montana to meet you guys or if my friend is going to ride out west and we'll leave from Mt. Baker and ride down to maybe Everett WA.
