So that is 6 from our website!  Sounds great!

I just pulled the back off of my Kermit Chair as I am going to take it to a embroidery shop to have my name and one of our R65.org patches sewn onto it.

At least you will know I am there if I am not sitting down!  ;)

OK, I've got the plans for a small (t-shirt size?) flag with a look similar to:
 


Hopefully there will be a place to hang it - or I'll drape it over my windshield.

And I count 7 - now 8 ! Including Gus...
Rob, NCSteve, John, Sue, Bill, Ed and myself.  Haven't heard from SCJohn in this thread, but I thought he was planning on this one. Not sure how many R65s will be there, but I'll be on mine!

Aida, it's sounding like J Hirst, my new friend that bought Blue, is heading down too, although I'm not sure now about SC John. He's trying to claim some sort of "I got to work" BS, but I'm chipping away at  him...

Hopefully a few of Jonathan's buds from http://twinvalleyriders.com/ will make it down too; I've met several, and they're a great bunch of guys, with a nice variety of bikes.  I'm hearing a few of the ADVriders are planning to come also (hopefully the quiet ones, no offense intended). If you have any inside knowledge of good camping areas within the grounds, please keep us all updated, okay, so's we can all hook up?

Looks like it's shaping up to be quite the shindig... 8-)

Woo Hoo!  Sounds like a fun weekend coming up.........at least for you East Coast riders.

Aida, that looks like a great flag!    8-)   I've got the original logos, so I'm sure I can put them together for a flag for us West Coast riders!  
When you get done make sure to post a picture or send me a picture and I'll make one like it.  Hmmm, might take me awhile though as my upstairs work area is now more out of sorts than usual from the water leak.  

Anyhoo, have a great time and I will continue healing..........1 week and 4 days to go for the cast to come off - actually it will come off the Friday you guys are going to the Gathering!  Raise a glass of beer for me!  I'll riase one to you guys there in celebration!   [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Tires and brake pads on order.  This weekend is reserved for canoeing, so if everything comes in I'll drop Blue off for a bit of a spa treatment.

Hope to have her back in time to make the trip.  Looking forward to seeing a sea of airheads.

Yeah, I know it sounds like "BS", but I'm afraid it's true.  I misread the schedule when I commented earlier about wanting to ride up the Clans rally, and do have to work that Fri-Sun.  These people who run the place where I work don't care about anything except how many kayaks and canoes are built that day, and fire employees who lay out of work.  I asked my supervisor about being off for the weekend, and he looked at me and said, "You're kidding, right?"  Then he said no, that he's had to turn down requests from employees who had been there a lot longer than me who wanted to take vacation days during June.  It seems that June is the peak month of production for the company, and they don't allow vacation days to be taken during than month (except those who work in the office or have non-production jobs).  I was told if you are scheduled to work, you have to work whether you like it or not.  I've never worked a job before where I had to give up every other weekend to work.  
I hate my job.  >:(

Sorry bro, I didn't mean that "BS" comment as a bad thing, only that the event and experience would be much enhanced by your presence... ::)    ;)

Besides, pretty much everybody hates their jobs: I think you're supposed to, it's like the American way or something.
I have to remind folks at mine sometimes that they're being paid to do W.O.R.K, and that the other, fun thing is called P.L.A.Y.
They tend to get the two confused occasionally... ::)

I know, I'm just PO'd at the way things have worked out so far for me.  I'd just about give up my first born to be able to be there and see everyone!  :-[

But, you never know.... I may have another job by then or win the lottery!   (Oh yeah, it seems you have to actually play the lottery in order to win it.)   ::)

I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to make it, John.

I'm sorrier to hear you are working a job with such rigid guidelines.  I take it this is an interim job until you find something in your newly completed educated field?

Are there any days after this rally that you actually legally get off John? Just wondering. I think 2 of us are heading for Kickstand Lodge near Robbinsville after the Gathering.

Dittos on that one, John!  Sure will miss having you there!!  We were looking forward to hearing that wonderful laugh of yours again...Bummer about the time off.   >:(

Melena,  I've sent you a PM about the original files you have.  I'll be glad to send you what I've done once I get it done.  What I have right now is somewhat different....



And we should definitely raise a glass in your honor, it's worth celebrating your 'freedom'!  [smiley=beer.gif]

Wowzers !  That DOES look great !

I was thinking of putting in an order for a long sleeve T-shirt, but if someone was motivated and able to get a bunch of these
done up on some plain heavy cloth I'd like to buy one of these flags instead to "REPRESENT" at our new england rallies.

Good job !  I am sure with a flag like that you'll be easy to spot at the Clans', and the other riders at the rally will
think that we are a heck of alot more organized than we really are !!!!
