OrlinEngh Posted July 28, 2012 Share #51 Posted July 28, 2012 It is looking like there needs to be a date picked to get this started. For me the last 2 weeks in June and the last 2 weeks in July are allready taken. Other than that the spring, summer is open. I can do some leg work this and see what there is for lodging and what kind of rates they would offer. If decided to have it in this area.

Freebird Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share #52 Posted July 28, 2012 Folks, I'm thinking that we have a pretty good general location in mind. Sounds like a decent sized group of folks willing to do the work also. We'll let the discussion continue a bit longer but I think we are close now. You guys might want to start talking among yourselves a bit and determine who is going to be the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted July 28, 2012 Share #54 Posted July 28, 2012 Marcarl's VentureIn will be the 25th of May. My thoughts on location is to find a Motel that can also accommodate camping, that way we all stay together. Yes, I realize that riding is important, but what I find more important is that we get to meet each other and spend time together. During the daytime we mostly ride, but during the evening we get to get in each others way and stir the pot. It would be real good to do this altogether in one place, that way nobody can blame me for ALL the ruckus. I don't think that having meals together as a whole group is paramount, except for the main meal of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted July 28, 2012 Share #55 Posted July 28, 2012 and a place where camping is an option. For many of us the motel charges would be a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted July 28, 2012 Share #56 Posted July 28, 2012 But I have to ask (for the fun of it)...whatever happened to my great idea of having the International Rally in...International Falls, MN. ????????? I've been to International Falls. Only curve up there is the curvature of the earth. Nice International Paper plant up there though (and the associated odor). 250 miles to the nearest civilization. Mosquitoes the size of sea gulls. Other than that, it is a vacation mecca. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingy Posted July 28, 2012 Share #63 Posted July 28, 2012 I would volunteer to handle the annual trailer raffle event if needed. I don't think it's critical to be located at event location to do this. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted July 28, 2012 Share #64 Posted July 28, 2012 I like the idea of NW Illinois/ Se corner of Iowa/ SW corner of Wisconsin. Close enuff we can be there in one day from Indianapolis area, plenty of time available in the middle of July (wife starts back to work 1st week of Aug.) and it makes for a nice summer...... Let's get it going and putting it together!! That way I know what my schedule is for next year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted July 29, 2012 Share #68 Posted July 29, 2012 I like the idea of Wisconsin. For dates... has anyone considered timing it for AirVenture that takes place in Oshkosh towards the end of July? http://www.airventure.org/index.html Think the name fits... plus the air show is supposed to be one of the best and runs for several days... just like the International. Anyone that wanted to attend could be part of a daily group ride there, possibly with group discount on tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First_N_Last Posted July 29, 2012 Share #71 Posted July 29, 2012 Darn! What happened to St. George, Utah? Just imagine... rides to Brice, Zion, Arches, etc. It would be neat to see if any of our members could make it up to "Angel's Landing". By the way - I've made it, but thought I was going to die a couple times. Oh well... JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 3 times I went to EAA show I had my checkbook out of my pocket and in my hand and an airplane ALMOST came home with me. I can not afford to attend that show anymore..... It is about 180 miles from Galena to EAA. There is nothing for hotel or camping space available within 50 miles of EAA. EAA attendees stay as far as 100 miles away.

jimmyenglish Posted July 29, 2012 Share #74 Posted July 29, 2012 The wife and I will be in Germany for the next 3 years starting in Jan so my vote is with Trader. Make it an "International" and have it in Heidelberg! I know that would be an incredible stretch but imagine how awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
