Patrolman46 Posted August 10, 2011 #1 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) After a long discussion with Black Owl about what "Poke in the Pines" really is & where it is & that we are invited to attend even if we pronounce it "Pork in the Pines" , I have decided that I'm going to try & get back there for Labor Day weekend. I will be leaving the Scottsbluff, NE area Thursday morning the 1st of Sept. I will most likely pick up Babe at the Minneapolis airport the 2nd & drive on to the rally. Anybody from this general area or west of Cheyenne, WY/Scottsbluff, NE headed to the "Pork in the Pines" I would sure like to hook up with you & ride to the rally together. That's about half the fun is getting to the rally with an old friend or a new one. Can't get Phoneman1981 to shake loose to go, so far. Let's get a group from here in the Rocky Mtn area to go to Black Owls party..!!!! C Ya, Parolman46 CELL = NINE SEVEN 0- THREE NINE SIX - SIXTEEN 0 SEVEN Edited August 24, 2011 by Black Owl
Trader Posted August 10, 2011 #2 Posted August 10, 2011 Hmmm Nothing in the Calendar....did a search and couldn't find any CURRENT info. Is the POKE a secret? Is it by "private invitation" only? It's less than a month away isn't it? WHATS GOING ON?????
CaptainJoe Posted August 10, 2011 #3 Posted August 10, 2011 Humm, I must be getting old, but "poke" in the pines means something specific to my generation... As does "Hooking up"... Learned this from my 26 yr old daughter.... Be very careful the words you use today...
Bubber Posted August 11, 2011 #4 Posted August 11, 2011 It is Pork in the Pines. Oh you already knew that didn't you. LOL Labor Day week end. Starts Friday when I get there and ends when Gary throws ya out. I have never seen that yet. But there could be a first. Great times, we drink beer, tell lies, BS about bikes, sit around by the camp fire and act smart. OH ya chili night. whole roasted pig. good friend you haven't met yet and old friend to get reacquainted with. Did I mention beer and Lies. And smoking a stoggie or two. Rides and just good friends..... I did mention the beer didn't I. I am sure Gary or Black Owl will jump in here soon with and additional info. PS don't even think about sending Mr. Rooster to his maker via the stew pot. :eek:There is a young lady that has a real desire to keep that old critter around, and she owns a shot gun..:rotf:... don't even ask me how I know.

Bubber Posted August 11, 2011 #6 Posted August 11, 2011 Gary! Rocket said I could have his spot closest to the coup and the out house for very specific reasons. :ignore: Especially after last years fiasco. LOL :rotf:

Rocket said I could have his spot closest to the coup and the out house for very specific reasons. :ignore: Especially after last years fiasco. LOL :rotf: I won't be there. Both outhouses should be by the garage, just in case, Steve keeps it occupied again....
Bubber Posted August 11, 2011 #8 Posted August 11, 2011 I won't be there. Both outhouses should be by the garage, just in case, Steve keeps it occupied again.... I should just have my own dedicated outhouse this year....just in case. Boy I hope not.
lshafer Posted August 11, 2011 #9 Posted August 11, 2011 So, I'm new to some of these rallies and I'm just wondering where Pork (or Poke depending on what's on your mind) in the Pines is at. The way people are talking it's not far from where I am and I'd like to attend if I don't have to drive accross country (not that I'd be opposed to that - although the wife might be...). Any information would be great.
Bubber Posted August 11, 2011 #10 Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) It is Laporte Minnesota at Gary's place out in the country. Maybe we can resurect last years poster and get more details for ya. goggle Laporte MN.

Any information would be great. If you didn't goole map it yet, it's about 20 miles south of Bemidji, camping available Friday through Sunday, at least. Elk Mound, Karen and I were in your look out tower the last Friday of July! See Bubber's previous posts in this thread about the evening activities. Karen and I will be staying closer to Fargo, near Rollag, on Friday night, and attending the Steam and Gas engine show at Rollag on Saturday. We will be at the PIP at Gary's on Saturday night.
Bubber Posted August 11, 2011 #12 Posted August 11, 2011 Bob, just drop Karen off at Gary's she is more fun than you any way LOL See you at PIP :rotf::rotf:

You could have thrown a rock and hit my house from there. Glad you didn't though... just got new windows!!! I'm going to check on dates and see if I can swing it. The wife and I want to go for a nice ride prior to the end of the season so maybe this will work out. Northern MN and WI are our favorite places to ride so this would be perfect. Whether I make it to this one or not, I'm going to keep trying to make some event. Can't miss 'em all!!!
Bubber Posted August 12, 2011 #16 Posted August 12, 2011 dibbs on the handy cape camping spot We are saving the Ambassador Suite just for you, Lowel!
Grandpagak Posted August 14, 2011 #17 Posted August 14, 2011 glad that you are all plannin on comin .. it will be grate.. lookin forward to seein you all!!!!!!:rotfl::clap2::Laugh:
Bubber Posted August 23, 2011 #19 Posted August 23, 2011 10 days and counting, I am getting excited now. Man I got lots of stuff to do to get ready. Any body thinking about going to the Davis Rally too?:banana: Does anyone know if Annie and Quickstep are headed to PIP ?????? Black Owl you know everything whats up? PS I met up with Eagleeye and Yopper in Saulk City WI when I went to Madison last weekend. Had a great time and sat around and BS'ed. Wife went down there the monday before and wasn't to happy I didn't give her a shout that I was stopping to BS with Eagleeye and Yopper. She'll get over it....... or not! See ya at PIP.
XV1100SE Posted August 23, 2011 #20 Posted August 23, 2011 Probably a good idea if someone organizing this puts it in the calendar. :-)
sarges46 Posted August 23, 2011 #22 Posted August 23, 2011 I finally decided to register us! I was taking it for granted that it was known that we are coming. We won't be getting in until 9 or so Friday as I have to work until noon. Going to be great to see everyone again! EH!

sarges46 Posted August 23, 2011 #24 Posted August 23, 2011 I hope they get you your own potty after last years carrying on you did!
eagleeye Posted August 23, 2011 #25 Posted August 23, 2011 Yup, it was good seeing you Bubber. Notice how I stuck up for you? Did you notice any difference with air in your rear shock? I keep looking for the registration page???????? I think that I registered, but not sure. Who's coming? List? See you all in a week or so. I'll be making the baked beans again. I'll leave here on fri. early and then decide which city I am riding through, twin cities or Duluth, hate going through both. but I'll pick one. Steve
