Sedalia Mo - it's only 4 months away!

[nhmaf]

So, I figured I'd put this out there to see who is thinking of going to the BMWMOA rally in MO this summer?

I'm pretty sure that Neal "R65Guy" will be there as it is only a couple hours from his place.  I'm not 100% certain that I am going, but am strongly considering it - though it may be far enough that I leave the R65 at home and take my Kawasaki sport tourer.  I enjoyed taking (2) days to ride out / ride back to Tennessee on the R65LS on mostly all back roads (2200 mile round trip) but my legs wouldn't straighten out for two days afterwards, even using the pillion pegs as "rearsets" for cruising on the open spaces.

Who is thinking/dreaming/planning on going?

[R65Guy]

As they say on The Price is Right - "Come on Down!"  I hope to see Mike and Sue and many other R65 friends there.   Looking forward to a good time.

Almost unbelievable, had a note from Monte this morning that he is considering the rally.  (No doubt he is researching the various funeral homes between Denton and Sedalia to see about the free coffee stops available.)   8-)  If we can get a commitment out of Mr. Every Day Is a Saturday Now That I Am Retired I might just join him on the sojourn on my R90.  Any other commitments?  Anyone heard from Ada lately?

I have heard from Graham and Aïda from NC. They haven't formed the summer's plans yet but they are doing more small dirt bike riding these days they say, than the road bikes. They are going up to W. Va to ride trails...Hatfield and McCoy land early April.
I'll put a bee in the bonnet to visit the forum!

A mere 380 miles from me...I might consider this one ass well......

I am also think about going. I used to live 20 mile west of there from 1963 to 1969.  I have pass through a couple of times. Would like to spend a few days going around the stomping grounds.

Sue's right.  We haven't made our summer plans, but Sedalia probably won't be.  We were planning on the Hatfield McCoy Trails next week, but we're a bit under the weather (probably all that pollen about), so we're putting that off for a bit.

Planning on attending from northern Michigan.  Working up the courage to mount the R65LS......Trying to get some local seat time to toughen up the backside.  The LS is getting close to being ready.  Anyone from this area making the trip?  Maybe we can hook up.

Be safe

Not this year for me -- I'll be in China then.

I'm planning on attending!  If my wife comes, we're taking the trailer and R65 in back of truck (she's not big on tent camping anymore).

If my wifes stays home, I'll ride my K75s - more comfortable and better equipped for longer road trips.

I hate to say this, but I'll be watching the weather and making a last minute decision..

A couple months ago I bought a couple Superstakes tickets without even knowing that they were also admission to the rally.. I just felt it was a good cause and pretty good odds on winning something (and hopefully it won't be a lifetime MOA membership, since I've been a Life Member for 20+ years)

And while at the Madison, WI GRRR rally a couple weeks ago, I WON another Superstakes ticket as a door prize..

So, I've got 3 admissions to the rally, but I'm only going to go if it's not going to be miserable.. It's a 7ish hour ride to the rally, and I'll gladly go, but not if it's going to be hot and humid..

If the weather's going to be miserable, I'll ride 5 hours north and dip my feet in Lake Superior instead..

PAper -

With your luck, you just might win 3 bikes!

It's that time to start exchanging cell phone numbers to those who are intending to be at the MOA National in Sedalia, MO. I have Nhmaf's but no one elses. I will be camping. Do ya think Mike that we can find another air conditioned van like we found too late last summer???

[nhmaf]

I don't know, Sue!

I'm currently having some problems with my back/sciatica which is both very annoying and difficult to deal with.  I am hoping it is gone -or at least managed- by time to head to the rally.

I DID pre-register - actually bought one of those $100 sweepstakes tickets that also gets you admission to the rally.   I am hoping  to win a more comfortable motorcycle seat - maybe with a new motorcycle attached-LOL!!!
