The 18th Gathering of the Clans - 2010
« on: March 25, 2010, 12:05:11 AM »
Steve mentioned this to me on Facebook, so I looked at my calendar.
I've already got the "pre"-weekend scheduled off at work, for that weekend.
And it is one-day's ride for me. Two, if I want to take the [really] scenic route.


18th Gathering of the Clans, June 11-13

So . . . does this mean you're planning on going?  Inquiring minds want to know.  (And I can't quite tell from your post.  :P )
I might have to consider that one again if you are.

Yeah - I am announcing my intent!  (but I won't be using my [brand new] saddlebags for beer coolers, this time!)

I'll be there, barring something catastrophic (like rain  ;D)

You guys need to start working on SC John as well.
Seems like this should be a mandatory run for highly placed R65.org officials.  ;)


...and Rob, those brand new saddlebags, with no cracks and modern 21st century construction, should make perfect beer coolers...

Monte - check with Melena first.  I think she has something coming up before this one.  IF she has a bike to ride, that is...  :-[

Oh yeah - SCJohn... you ARE coming, right?   [smiley=beehive.gif]

Rob. You got me all excited. I got the kilt out and had it pressed and ready to go. The Highland Gathering of the Clans is the following month right around the corner at Grandfather Mountain. Don't know if I would chance riding across the rural south of a German motorcycle wearing a kilt. I may never be seen again.  ;D
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

The Veg (of Boxerworks forum fame (and a MOA something-or-other) lives in Atlanta, sadly no longer rides an airhead :( , but likes to sport a Utilikilt!)  He hopes to make it, to help lessen his sadness of missing the MOA National.

Aïda, the first rally coming up for me is over Memorial Day weekend.  You guys should take the flag to this one and get plenty of pictures!  

Hopefully my bike will be ready to ride before the end of May.   :-/

That one comes first...the Gathering isn't until June.  If you get your bike together and make that rally, I think you should have first dibs on the flag.   IMHO...

Okay.  I'll get in touch with Monte and have him send it to me.  This flag will be getting lots of traveling this year.   8-)
