Rally Shirts

Ralph, I'll be getting in touch with you over the shirts. Gotta figure out how many, what sizes and which colors! I'll try to have you something in the line of an order by this week-end at the latest.
Thanks, and Ride Safe,
Greg

Marty, I'm originally from the Elmira NY area (Horseheads) and did some riding in N Central Pa last summer (Wellsboro, Grand Canyon etc). Love northern PA. You are over by Allegheny reservoir? Wish I was closer, but now I'm up on Lake Ontario.

Hi Dean,
Welcome to XS heaven. Wow I have stayed in Horseheads for a visit to the Glen and we visited Wellsboro a couple of years ago for XS East. Like you I too passed through WV, on the Interstate going South in the cage, and vowed to return on the bike some day. Made it last year and once again looking forward to exploring the roads of WV with some like minded people. I am part of the HamJam group out of Toronto.
You will want to order a T shirt, always good quality and great reminder of a fun week end.

Bruce, 81 would be pretty far east for me. Probably going down through western PA (Pittsburg) and there is the crew from Toronto to maybe coordinate with. But all options are open!

[gerkenbruce]

I got around 28 people, one or two of them are 'maybe'. A couple are actually XS11's!!

How about everyone send me an email, keep it simple:

Name | Bike | Rider Name | which shed you are sleeping in.

If there are 2 or more of you driving bikes list on a seperate line.

If you have not finalized your plans thats fine, email me when you do.

me:
lastlaff at verizon dot net.

Put "XS WV" in the subject line.

I'm hoping SWMBO and I can finalize our plans here in the very near future. We're going to look into reserving a room (which we can cancel if we wind up not being able to attend) ... What I'd like to know is, what's the process for ordering a shirt. I know we'd both like one, so I'll order/pay for them what evers needed, but if we're not able to attend, what would become of our shirts?

[madbiker]

Email me at ratrhemiw@msn.com will share the details with you.

Just heard from Bohn F, he is coming to the WV rally! His bikes are a sight, if you have an opportunity to see his bikes they are completely out-of-the-box-new looking. Even if you don't ride in rallys you should come to WV just to see his bikes. They are that nice.

Bohn rides shiny bike - 'most anywhere.

Yes, Bohns bike in north GA last october was SO shiney that dust would not stick to it....Even after 14 miles of loose gravel road!!

I still say that GPS takes some of the challenge and adventure out of riding. Still... sometimes, it is nice to know where you are. Some times it is not.

"Oh yeah. I know where we are now. Just ahead is where I saw a Big dump truck that had tumbled down the side of this mountain after the road gave way...No it is a LONG way untill pavement again, not quite as far as we have come so far, but a long way"
Quote - Jetmech Marty to Bohn somewhere high in the Cohutta Wilderness.

There is a attendance database set up by cool Lois Hicks for us

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xseast06/

On the main Yahoo page, on the left is a link "Database" click on that and you can enter your new record or edit the one that is there.

You can add your own record, and if you have supplied me with your info please look at it and correct my fat fingered typos.

Forget the text file stuff, that is so 20th century.... Like me...

[DeanR]

You have to register to access this?

[MartyA]

I think so. I am already registered on the other XS Yahoo site so all I did was sign up for this one. Madbiker created it just for files uploads, and maybe some communication. I had asked for some space on a website to post maps and lists and stuff, and Ralph created this Yahoo group.

IF you do sign up it will ask how you want to be notified of postings. FYI I get the digest email. That is a good place to start. Arrives each evening. You can make your own choice.

Hey TC, offer any advice about Yahoo?

[TopCatGr58]

Yahoo groups!

Hey Marty,

I can't add much, Xcept that in DIGEST mode, the emails are stripped of any attachments, so IF folks include photos and such in messages, you won't see them!! And they are not stored with the messages ON Yahoo's server, so unless the poster ALSO adds the photos/files to the actual web site in the folders section, you can't get to see or use any that are posted with the messages!!

This is why I selected Individual emails, and then set up a message rule in my Outlook Express to shuffle all messages with XS11 into a special folder, keeps them separate from my other regular messages!
