Freebird Posted May 15, 2011 #1 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Are you you too far away to make it to my Maintenance Day? Well let's see...I've had members attend from as far as Texas, Louisiana, Florida...heck....even from as far away as Iceland and Australia so how can you POSSIBLY be too far away. It's really easy...just straddle that scoot and point it towards Ohio. Nothing to it. COWBOY UP and come on over. Edited May 16, 2011 by Eck Speling error in Thread title: (Was: To for), (IS: To far)

Freebird Posted May 15, 2011 Author #3 Posted May 15, 2011 That's funny. In 1998 I was camping at Glencoe at Sturgis. There was a guy camping next to me that was on the phone with his wife in Texas. He walked over and said "WOW...she is MAD". He just couldn't understand why she was upset. Apparently she was at work and his friend stopped by and asked him if he wanted to go to Sturgis...he said "sure" and took off. he said "I left her a note on the kitchen table so it's not like I didn't tell her".
mini-muffin Posted May 15, 2011 #4 Posted May 15, 2011 Just think of all the wonderful folks you'd get to meet. We have our amazing and beautiful hostess Eileen (oh yeah and her hubby Freebird) Plus all the folks you get to see post on the site.And this year you'd get to meet Annie and Allen from Oz. Margaret
E-Fishin-C Posted May 15, 2011 #5 Posted May 15, 2011 Gas Prices is Frightening everyone even folks with scoots,.....Well not everyone
Kirby Posted May 15, 2011 #6 Posted May 15, 2011 Rode 917 miles last year in about 15 hours . Had a ball. Plan to do it again this year, but will probably break it down to a 2 day ride. This year I'll have my photographer(wife) on the back seat with me. She bought a new camera and wants lots of pics!!!!!
mini-muffin Posted May 15, 2011 #7 Posted May 15, 2011 Well for your wife's first time we'll try :whistling:to keep Big Tom decent, but it'll be hard. Margaret
mini-muffin Posted May 15, 2011 #9 Posted May 15, 2011 Probably not, but we can say we'll try. We don't want to scare her off. Of course she can always think of it as abstract art. Margaret
Phoneman1981 Posted May 15, 2011 #10 Posted May 15, 2011 Hello Don: Thanks for the invite sure wish I had the vacation time to make the 1200 mile trip. I bet it is a hoot!!!!!
buddy Posted May 15, 2011 #11 Posted May 15, 2011 The distance is not the problem its the $$ and vacation time needed to get there and back home. and with so many places to go vacation time would be the problem for me..
XV1100SE Posted May 15, 2011 #12 Posted May 15, 2011 The distance is not the problem its the $$ and vacation time needed to get there and back home. Getting home wouldn't be the problem. Just stay at Don's ! Sounds like he'd put you up for a few months ! Haven't met him yet... but I'm sure he wouldn't mind ! He'd just be happy you made it there

BIG TOM Posted May 15, 2011 #14 Posted May 15, 2011 Well for your wife's first time we'll try :whistling:to keep Big Tom decent, but it'll be hard. Margaret FAT CHANCE OF THAT !!!!!!! :moon:
Freebird Posted May 15, 2011 Author #15 Posted May 15, 2011 Looks like I need to REALLY stock up on the ice cream. I wonder how long the banks will let you finance that stuff.
Guest Posted May 15, 2011 #16 Posted May 15, 2011 If I was coming id bring Tom some Working Cow ice cream. He'd love it so much he would be forced to move to Florida and sit on the beach eating it. One stand in Flagler Beach is just steps away from the ocean. I sure do wish that I could have made it this year. We have the week off and had planned to attend but I just cant hold up the bike right now and any long distance driving in the cage is out of the question. I cant sit still for too long. There's always next year....

FuzzyRSTD Posted May 15, 2011 #18 Posted May 15, 2011 Florida is not an ice cream state....Its a gator meat state.............yummmmmm fresh gator Ya Big Tom, like you said yummmmm. I would like to try some gator too. Maybe some of these good folks could bring some frozen gator and we could try it on the grill. They say it taste like fried chicken, and I love fried chicken...... Fuzzy ; (my nickname since I was a young feller,derived from my last name, Fultz - it was first Fultzy then turned into Fuzzy.)
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted May 16, 2011 #19 Posted May 16, 2011 mmmmm only 2500 miles each way. Think the wife will fall for the going for ice cream dear ? I understand Big Tom has some good ice cream showing up.... but not sure it will fly at this end.

Hummingbird Posted May 16, 2011 #21 Posted May 16, 2011 No not me , I 'm just a participant...Hummingbird is the ice cream supplier..... yep - home-made ice cream in Vanilla, Chocolate, Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and Black Cherry. That's the 4 flavors for MD I have a friend that has been making it for years. He uses a one lung John Deere hit/miss mounted on a stainless trailer. For the last 12 years we've have participated in a fall festival locally and have been forced to camp right beside him while he makes and sells ice cream. Being the nice neighbor and friend, I force myself to sample all the 'new' flavors he invents as well as any batches that get done when I 'might' be nearby and not busy. It's really a difficult task but what are friends for ??

Margaret I don't know how much longer I can continue - I'm running out of belt to hold my jeans up. good thing I don't wear a thong

Hmmmm?? 2400 miles = 4X600 mile days to get there, plus another 4X600 mile days to get back, plus $500 bucks in fuel. For 3 days to BS and eat free ice cream?? If I were closer I'd be there, however I think I'll really 'Cowboy Up' and go to the CODY Dairy Queen.....
