northeast rally

[Dragonpaco]

since the twfix rally south is happening soon, i was thinking about the northeast one that cf used to have at gettysburg. would anyone be interested in it?

[Gas Man]

I got some time off the last week of sep. I'm looking to ride somewhere.

[Particle Man]

maybe this one I could actually attend....

[marko138]

I can be in Gettysburg in 45 minutes. And if Gas Man is there you know I'm coming.

[Angee]

We have a rally in Towanda, PA (normally, but the gas people took all the hotels through next year) the weekend after Labor Day. I'm not sure if we're going or not, as we haven't settled on a new location. That could be a possibility...

[Dragonpaco]

i like this whole last week in september thing. lets settle on a date and then figure out the location

[marko138]

I like it too.

[Gas Man]

I can be in Gettysburg in 45 minutes. And if Gas Man is there you know I'm coming.


:rockout:

i like this whole last week in september thing. lets settle on a date and then figure out the location

I think it would be cool. Not hot, decent weather, and a good bang before the end of the season.

[Gas Man]

My place to Gettysburg... 7.5hrs/440miles

[Bluestreak]

I'm in for Gettysburg. Always had fun at those rallys.

One of the guys on CF has family that owns the hotel we always stay at. Nice big parking lot that is easily taken over and nice cheap room rates.

It's possible the Cycleforums folks may actually do this rally again on Labor Day weekend.

[Cutty72]

I'll be in either IN or Germany on my way to Kosovo. Sorry kiddies, not this year.

[Gas Man]

Marko... is there anything going on that last week of Sep??? Also cheap first floor parking lot level motels?

[JoJoYZF]

Id be in too. Actually I could probably just meet up with gas man as hes comin through ohio and ride out with him and whoever else.

Decent!!

:rockwoot:

[marko138]

That week doesn't strike me with anything going on. I'm not terribly familiar with the hotels in Gburg...but we can certainly figure that out easy enough.

[Gas Man]

Any roads in the area?

[Sixxxxer]

Fuck it Id try and make two rallys...I could meet the whole board almost that way!!

[Dragonpaco]

Fuck it Id try and make two rallys...I could meet the whole board almost that way!!

if you want you can meet up with me and head over there

[Cutty72]

Fuck it Id try and make two rallys...I could meet the whole board almost that way!!

Na, you'd still be missing the central and west coast guys.

[Mr Lefty]

I can be in Gettysburg in 45 minutes. And if Gas Man is there you know I'm coming.

that sounds like marko for "I''m not gonna be there"

[Gas Man]

that sounds like marko for "I''m not gonna be there"
SCHNAP!!

:lol

[itgirl]

Marko... is there anything going on that last week of Sep??? Also cheap first floor parking lot level motels?

dude, you could totally crash on my couch. i live maybe 20 mins. from gbg. max. any chance uma would travel with ya? :rockout:

[NONE_too_SOFT]

is this thread a joke? With marko actually agreeing to ride somewhere AND meet people it just seems a bit sureal.

[askmrjesus]

Any roads in the area?

No, you need a parachute to get there.

JC

[Gas Man]

dude, you could totally crash on my couch. i live maybe 20 mins. from gbg. max. any chance uma would travel with ya? :rockout:

That would be cool Kim, thanks! I would need to keep the money tight being I have a mexico trip at the end of oct that I need to spend money on.

I highly doubt Uma would come, and even if she did I can tell you she wouldnt ride out on her bike.

is this thread a joke? With marko actually agreeing to ride somewhere AND meet people it just seems a bit sureal.

Shit if you're are cool enough like me.

No, you need a parachute to get there.

:?:

[Dragonpaco]

No, you need a parachute to get there.

JC

could we be expecting the return of the messiah at this rally?

[Particle Man]

could we be expecting the return of the messiah at this rally?

Only if there's no cake...

[VatorMan]

I'd be in if you don't discriminate against slow bikes. :rockwoot: I'm about an hour from GB.

[marko138]

that sounds like marko for "I''m not gonna be there"

You're wrong. I only say that when you are gonna be around.

[Mr Lefty]

what are you gonna do when I go to PA... you're gonna have to ride more than 15min from you're house then... :lol:


Ya'll missed a good rally... fuck'n weather held off enough for us to get at least a half a day of riding in every day. OUT FUCKING STANDING.

if ya'll put it near Indy time frame... I may be able to take extra time off and hit up both... (barring any Hurricaines as I'll be called back to work)

[Rider]

PA would still be a long ride. How about something just a little more south and a little more west? Gas loan me the nightster.. :lol

[NONE_too_SOFT]

PA would still be a long ride. How about something just a little more south and a little more west? Gas loan me the nightster.. :lol

we could always do it on OH-IO... although there is exactly SHIT to do here.

[Rider]

we could always do it on OH-IO... although there is exactly SHIT to do here.

I thought SE OH had good roads.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

actually, they really do. 555 is pretty intense.

[Mr Lefty]

What about WV? think it'd be close enough for the NY and MI folks to join in... the PA folks would have 0 excuses... and as long as we plan for like late June... we should have good weather. :idk:

eta... I was talking about 2010...

[Dragonpaco]

i'm down for WV but late june is no good. i got a senior exam at the station and 2 weeks of consistent drunkeness during my b-day

[Mr Lefty]

i'm down for WV but late june is no good. i got a senior exam at the station and 2 weeks of consistent drunkeness during my b-day

like I said... 2010... no way I could do anything this year... Indy in Aug is iffy...

[marko138]

I can't do anything in June. September is perfect.

[Dragonpaco]

then i'm setting the date for Sept 20th. who wants to choose the location?

[Gas Man]

I'd be in if you don't discriminate against slow bikes. :rockwoot: I'm about an hour from GB.

I'm going... we'll be fine and more comforatable

PA would still be a long ride. How about something just a little more south and a little more west? Gas loan me the nightster.. :lol

Shit... you wouldn't want that ride on the sporty.

then i'm setting the date for Sept 20th. who wants to choose the location?

Then i'm out. Can't do it till the week after towards Oct 1st. Hell couldn't even leave till any earlier than Sep 22nd but then would have to be back on Sep 25th. I am out for Sep26/27th cause I'll be out of town with the wife.

damnit, fine you set the date then

[Gas Man]

I would say Oct 2-4 for a weekend time
or anytime the week before that w/e

Lets see what other say.

[JoJoYZF]

Im game for any weekend around that time.

[marko138]

Im game for any weekend around that time.
Me too.

[Amorok]

Bear in mind that me and Ebbs probably won't be there. That's the whole reason this one got started on CF, because I got turned back from their Laber Day weekend ride. But I'll try, anyway. Hell, I have family close, maybe I could dump the kid and bring my wife!

[KSGregman]

...That's the whole reason this one got started on CF, because I got turned back from their Labor Day weekend ride.

Why did you get turned back?

[Trip]

Why did you get turned back?

hurricane duty

[KSGregman]

Feck....that sounds like the kind of fun that isn't.

[Dragonpaco]

so how about we make the rally oct 2-7 so we at least have a date.

[Dragonpaco]

and i found where i am staying http://gettysburgcampground.com/

[marko138]

Zeos said he wanted to a while back, just that it woul dbe planned on a different or a dummy site for all the regulars. karens best freind is getting married that weekend and I told her too bad we cant go to the wedding. that didnt go over too well. Even still I would still make it there in some shape or form to hang out.

If they do the other one in october I would be down to go as well. its only 2 and a half hrs from my house.

[Tsunami]

i maquested it and it was like 4 hours from nyc. I need to make it back there to visit since i haven't been in a couple of years, maybe i can time it to coincide depending on my schedule. I won't have a bike though, so i may have to beg to ride bitch if you guys go on any rides :lol:

What kind of ninja? I can't touch the ground on most bikes so unless you plan on standing there when i take off and catching me when i stop, that may not be a good idea!

[Dragonpaco]

you'll have to fight rogue to see who gets to use the ninja and who has to ride the marauder but both are pretty low to the ground. and i can always lower them beforehand

[Tsunami]

you'll have to fight rogue to see who gets to use the ninja and who has to ride the marauder but both are pretty low to the ground. and i can always lower them beforehand

i'll just ride in back of rogue then, i'm sure she won't say no to me!

I didnt think Id see the day that you started arranging to meet with a group of people to ride with.


I just mapquested it and got about 5 hours and just under 300 miles. Thats reasonable especially if I meet up with Gas or nts or can convince race doll and her husband to come out for the ride.

[Trip]

If I have a GS, I am going to make this, at least for one or two nights.

Cant recall the name of the park, it was a little further south into maryland and I think was near rt 72 if i am not mistaken. I know one of the roads entering the park goes over a set of railroad tracks if that helps.

Might be worth it for you to take the saturday off for the whole day to come and hang out.....

Oh, and I'm definately looking at making this too, its right in my backyard... Although I do question the choice in dates, it could be pretty cold the begining of october

[Dragonpaco]

i questioned the dates too but it's what everyone else wants to do

[OTB]

Although I do question the choice in dates, it could be pretty cold the begining of october

..and this is a problem, how?

I LOOOVVE riding early mornings in crisp mountain air.....

makes that first stop's cup of coffee that much better.....................

[derf]

Never said it was a problem, just means that you gotta dress warmer, or do it the begining of september and you will be happy in a tshirt instead of a sweater

[marko138]

October is perfect. You can wear your leathers and be comfortable.

[Gas Man]

Yeah plus how much awesome can you get to put the season out with a great ride!!

[tommymac]

Would you guys want me to talk to george grecco gixxer about staying at the cross keys hotel? We can take over th eparlking lot so we have a place to hang out and drink and its near soem stores and stuff and theres a restaurant connected to the hotel.

that and i actualy know how to get there:rockwoot:

I prefer the cooler weather - I'll still probably be wearing a T-shirt under my gear. I tend to run on the warm side.

Same here, I cant see it being THAT cold in late sept/early oct.

Tom

Thats what Im thinking. At most some under armour if its real cold.

[CrazyKell]

I can't read through this whole thread. What are the dates? I'm *considering* this. :whistle:

[Tsunami]

Any reason why we are not doing this on Labor day weekend to coincide with the few people that may be going from CF?

[rogue]

Tom

I was cold at the last rally. Can you imagine how cold I'd be at this one??? :lol:

[Dragonpaco]

Any reason why we are not doing this on Labor day weekend to coincide with the few people that may be going from CF?

A) because they are bastard covered bastards with bastard sauce.
B) because a few people from here can only make it during those dates

Early October...And Its not that far from you...You should come out ;)

I plan on being there for at least a day or two.

[marko138]

Have you people ever been to PA during the first week of October? This isn't Canada. It'll be gorgeous outside.

[Bluestreak]

Alright well nail down some dates and I will try my ever loving best to make it. I'll be riding though and Google Maps says it's an 8 hour ride. :panic:

because it's damn near impossible for many people to get away for it and because drivers in the NE are homicidal during holiday weekends.

[tommymac]

only a little over 2 hrs for me:rockwoot:

Tom

[Tsunami]

Heated gear Rogue! Hey if you want to ride anywhere come ride to Vegas.

Ill rub your butt when you get there :)

And I think we have dates locked in dont we??

Its about 3 hours for me

[Amorok]

Eight hours? Is that all? Pffft....that's nothing ;)

Just because you did a day of riding with me don't get all cocky. Follow me for a couple of days in the rain, then you can talk.

And as for the cold remember, underarmor, then polypro, then draggin jeans, then leather. No need for heated gear killing my stator.

Damn, we're talking October, not January! Most you'll need is a jacket liner and some under armour. I've ridden in plenty of cold weather (like 20F cold, not 50 and damp). Best thing you can do to stay warm is block the wind. Leather overpants over jeans and underarmour are perfect. A neck gaiter is irreplaceable. Heated grips and insulated gloves do alright for a while.

Rain pssh. Wet is no problem. Lightning is the issue, and sight distance.

[marko138]

Damn, we're talking October, not January!

Seriously, and it's the beginning of October...it'll still be damn near 70*.

[rogue]

Has anything for this rally been set yet? :scratch:

[Dragonpaco]

i ordered 50 cabins on my amex card and reserved all 2009 dates... but no nothing has been set up

[rogue]

That tells me alot, dork redflip

[Dragonpaco]

Eff?


Must have been drunk posting again. :rofl:

Seriously, what's already been decided for this rally? I can help you guys get it set up if I need to. :)

[Sixxxxer]

Nothing that I know of???

:)

[rogue]

Is this rally going to happen or what? I'm offering my help to get it planned! :D

[Amorok]

You guys should take her up on it. She planned the last one.

[CrazyKell]

I'm in for this rally BUT I need to know dates so that I can request vacation. It's not a problem to get the time off I just need to know when. :idk:

[marko138]

The dates have been posted in this thread. First weekend in october.

[Phenix_Rider]

Has anyone (hopefully local) thought to reserve anything? I'm ready to reserve a cottage after I get paid. I think they have beds for 5-6, plus a full bathroom and kitchen and wifi. Need a head count.

[marko138]

I've reserved something...my bed at my house

[JoJoYZF]

Im in for at least a few days of it. When are the exact dates that were decided on?

[Phenix_Rider]

Im in for at least a few days of it. When are the exact dates that were decided on?

No "decision" as yet, but the first weekend in October seems to be the general consensus. I would say something like Thursday Oct. 1 through Sunday Oct. 4.


The cottages here sound good. Looks like $145 a night divided by however many people- they have beds for 6, but we can fit more. Anyone that wants to use a tent, can.
http://gettysburgcampground.com/

[CrazyKell]

NO way in hell am I using a tent. October isn't warm where I am so riding will be tenuous up here. I need a bed!

[derf]

Go for it, I can strap my cot to the back of the bike and drag it along, so Thats one bed free plus take a 10% discount off cuz I got my military ID

[JoJoYZF]

Im willing to share and keep you warm...

I vote go for it too. I just need exact dates to take off of work and Ill be all set.

[Gas Man]

I too have already made sleeping arrangements...

[CrazyKell]

Once it's booked I can send a deposit to someone. Definitely want to go!

[Phenix_Rider]

I have AAA, so I got that covered- fon't think they stack discounts :lol
TWFix could go for free with all the Military/EMT/AAA we have.

[Phenix_Rider]

Once it's booked I can send a deposit to someone. Definitely want to go!

Just plan to pay (me I guess) at checkout. They don't require the whole amount up front. We'll get the individual amount settled at the final headcount/end of the rally.

[CrazyKell]

So are we hard and fast on these dates (October 2-4th)?

I can't make it that weekend. :cry:

[Dave]

ill prob come over with sixxer and derf assuming the army doesnt get in the way. You guys should bring earplugs

[derf]

Tell then that you're busy that weekend

[Phenix_Rider]

After much back and forth (Phone Tag) I finally got somebody that could reserve us a block of rooms. Got their last 5 doubles- all queen beds. :rockwoot:

Just need to give them names to go with rooms- why, I don't know. I'm thinking give them all screennames :lol

[derf]

My brother is gonna make the trek out there too so thats one extra person to the list

[KwayZeeyT]

I'm in, cause I'd like to meet some of you. Though I may not have a bike then. I'm only an hour away.

[Phenix_Rider]

I'm in, cause I'd like to meet some of you. Though I may not have a bike then. I'm only an hour away.

You're welcome to come of course. Might be a bit boring during the day if you're not riding with everyone else.

[derf]

Or you can just party at night with the rest of us

[tommymac]

I'm in, cause I'd like to meet some of you. Though I may not have a bike then. I'm only an hour away.

But I already know you :lol:

Just don't hold that against me. :lol:

[caveman]

:cheers:I too have already made sleeping arrangements...

Gas,

Why didn't you let me know? You know I don't check this thing as often as I should:sorry:

What are your sleeping arrangements? :werd:

[marko138]

Whats the tally as of now? We are a month out.

[derf]

Me and my brother, prolly gonna show up on friday night

[tommymac]

Me and my better half.

Tom

[Gas Man]

:cheers:

Gas,

Why didn't you let me know? You know I don't check this thing as often as I should:sorry:

Cause I plan on going out early... plus I'm unaware if my sleeping arrangement can accomidate another body.

Whats the tally as of now? We are a month out.

Good question!

Me and my better half.

Tom

Speaking of.... I may have an open back seat for anybody's wife. Probably the most comfortable seat at the rally. But I think there is a reservation already in.

[derf]

Cause I plan on going out early... plus I'm unaware if my sleeping arrangement can accomidate another body.

Why cant someone just bring a sleeping bag or a cot or something along those lines?

Yeah, pretty sure that spot will be reserved for atleast one day.

[Phenix_Rider]

I made a preliminary reservation at the Cross Keys. Plan to call tomorrow to finalize the details.

[Gas Man]

Yeah right! FO SURE! Hottie on the back!!! WHOOP WHOOP

Derf... not that easy but may be required either way.

[derf]

I made a preliminary reservation at the Cross Keys. Plan to call tomorrow to finalize the details.

I thought we were getting a cabin?

[tommymac]

When is everyone planning on arriving and leaving? I can head out friday morning or possibly thursday if people are heading out early. I am goin gto leave sun afternoon because I am going to schedule a track day at njmp on monday.

For the rooms if you call the cross keys we should tell them we are part of the TWF crew that way they put us all near one another. I will call tomorrow or fri to book my room, they have my info on file from all the CF rallies I had been to so I can just put my room on my cc that way its one less hassle for everyone.

Now whats the beer situation, I can get kegs of prety much whatever beer at a very good price but would need to know in a week or so so I can order them. Also how many people and whos drinking so I have an idea of how much to get. I can also bring an ez up and a few chairs so we can set up out back.

Could also be a good idea to put all the most uptodate details on the first post so everyone can easily see whats going on instead of sifting through all the pages here.

[derf]

Tommy, I might be riding next to you at NJMP that monday

[tommymac]

Cool, my friend dave is going so I need to sign up. I have ot get my track bike from my dads this weekend and get it prepped.

Tom

[Phenix_Rider]

Haven't got through on the phone yet. Writing an email now. I got them to hold five rooms for us, so I'll post up the details in here and a new thread when I get it. Everyone should be able to pay separately when they check out.

Regarding the cabins- too many people complained :lol:

[derf]

I gotta take a look at my budget after I go to court later this month, we shall see how much that cost first

[Gas Man]

I'll be in town early... mid week but I got plans for Thursday out there... either way... I'll stay tuned.

[tommymac]

I'll be in town early... mid week but I got plans for Thursday out there... either way... I'll stay tuned.

As of now I am looking at leaving NY early friday. Not sure if the my better half can get thurs off so I may just work a day shift anyway. I am just about 3 hrs away so i can get there prety quickly.

Tom

[Phenix_Rider]

Looks like the group rate per room, per night is $74.12. Includes a full breakfast (not just continental bagels and OJ) So that's $37 per person per night. Anybody care to say what you paid before?

I think for the rally it was somewhere around there, maybe a few dollars more if I remember correctly, but the breakfast vouchers are nice and they have good food in the restaurant there.

So who is going to escort us to some nice roads and good places to eat???

Anybody got all the ideas written down?

Heres what i can offer so far, the restaurant is connected to the hotel and theres a wendys and convienence store across the street. You can go 2 ways out of the hotel into towns that have places to eat and things to do.

Few years back we went to a brewpub down in gettysburg but werent too impressed with it, theres also an italian place that had good food but last time we went the servie was lousy. But rob and nancy said it was great the other times they went.

Theres a go kart place up the street and also a dirt/oval track they race at on saturday nights.

theres a 50-75 mile loop we would go on thats close to the hotel that I kinda remember, and for a longer run theres a park over the MD border that has some nice roads too. Hopefully if grecco gixxer comes by he can lead us on some of the roads.
Tom

[marko138]

We could head toward WV too.

I know a bunch of good roads heading North, but no down that way.

I don't want to hear about wendys... They can :gofurslf:

Karts sound like fun, but I don't think many will want to go to the dirt track unless it's well after dark. Depends when the races start.
Unfortunately, Gettysburg is a bit out of my neighborhood- I haven't made it past carlisle going east.

We never went to the dirt track but I rode past it on a litylte ride its like 2 minutes from the hotel and you can hear them racing from the hotel parking lot. For now I am just trying to throw out as much infor so we can make some tenative plans once were there.

Tom

[tommymac]

Anyone bringing their GF's or others who wont be riding, I was going to bring karen but with my bikes suspension well beyond shot I cant do any 2 up riding and she didnt want to bum around th ehotel by herself all day while we were out riding. At the previous CF rallies there were a bunch of people who wouldnt be riding for various reasons so they always went out and did stuff.

Tom

[derf]

Sure, why not? See how many evil glares we can get :lol:

[Dave]

i was thinking about this after derf was asking me if i was gonna go. i cant afford a hotel room right now but im wondering if i can drop the 954 enough to fit in the back of my van, and then maybe stuff a futon mattress on the side. gonn have to talk to TL and maybe do some mocking up. no promises. not even sure i'll be able to afford gas for that :lol:

I would LOVE to! My bike was built there!!

If you do, do it now. Probly won't be there much longer. They are planning on packing up and moving soon.

Yeah i heard they are trying to move it. I heard Kansas is a big hitter for it. Something about moving it next to another factory. One big complex of all hd building.

Yeah, from what I've heard there are about 6 sites they are considering and none of them are the current spot. It's all but guaranteed that they are leaving.

[Gas Man]

Yeah but I hear they are leaning hard towards kansas where they already have the room right next to the other factory.

How cool would it be to ride my Ultra to where it was born. How freakin cool!
