Talimena Rally 2008!!!

[Ivan]

Last year the second weekend in October was snowing and slush here. If the weekend is nice, I will ride down and attend, baring some unforeseen circumstance. Hope I don't have to sleep under the stars. I hesitate to get a reservation, since I have no idea about weather after September in Kansas.

Iowa is even further north. I’m hoping for an Indian summer, but in case I don’t get my wish I’m planning on riding straight south through Missouri to spend as little time in the cold weather as possible.

How close are the fuel stops down there? Will have the 750 final drive on, but I haven't yet tested with it to see what my range will be. Usually I have range of 90-100. Haven't decided to come or not come, but right now leaning towards riding down. Of course, I say that, and the last two rides I have counted on going to, the bike decides it doesn't want to go. So I'll probably make the decision the day I need to leave and trick her.

I believe that I have a double room reserved (it was all they had left). I am sure that we can make room if someone is in need.

If you KC guys are going to go through Wichita, I could possibly meet up with you some how and ride the rest of the way. Not sure. It might be a hiway 77 trip for you guys though. <shrug>

Yamaniac,

There's always lots of Special people there and we try to never go over 80 miles... but I'm thinking we never went over 60 before topping off? It's always better safe than sorry. It's hard to enjoy the scenery and the ride when you're sweating about your fuel level.

Hello from Mississippi

Tod,

I made my Hotel reservations this week so I plan to come and see you guys again. Sounds like a great time and I do not want to miss it, looking forward to it. So you can add 1 more to your count.

Count me out.

I was hoping to make it, but I will not, I have got a schedule conflict with a father daughter activity. I Really enjoyed the last couple of trips on the Talimena trail. Tracking Big foot, hoping to get a sashquatch photo, seeing a great bunch of XSives...

Y'all have fun& Happy motoring,

I will be cancelling my reservations for the Kiamichi Inn today around 5pm. My presence has been requested at another function. I hope that anyone else who needs a room can grab it. Sorry I can't make it.

[Bigfoot]

Sorry you guys won't be able to make it.

Looks like everyone is bailing out! Just booked a double at the Kiamichi Inn. A friend is coming along, on a Honda 919, if that's ok with all the Yamahas! Now all that is left is for my boss to sign my vacation request for the 10th, so I can follow John up there.

[trbig]

Naw.. Just Eaglechaser. Brent never said he was going.. so can't call him a bailout... THIS time. Pfffftt.. Like family and daughters are more important than riding with us.. .the nerve!

Hope to see you next time Brent.

I am still looking forward to it. Even if I end up being the only one I will be there. Lol. Guess I could try and find some bigfoot (or is that bigfeet) to hang with.

[shutchis]

I'm still coming; inspite of my Hurricane Ike recovery actions; it's a matter of priorities...the Biker Rally won out.

My Brother and I were really blessed, no damage to our homes, only some down tree limbs. No electricity for 10 days was really hard...no TV or Internet services. However, the emergency relief workers provide ice for our beer, so everything worked out okay. See ya guys and gals soon. Stan

[Wildkat]

Glad to hear it, Stan

We were wondering how everything was going down that way... thanks for reporting in...


and glad to know you have your priorities straight...

See you in a couple of weeks...
