I was contemplating making it a 2-day travel each way, stopping at the Joplin KOA. I can't afford a hotel, so whatever I'm doing, I'll be camping it. It's a 12-hour trip in a car, and that's with minimal stops. I'll need to add at least an hour or three with the bike for gas/rest stops. That makes a one-day run rather difficult.
If I started out on the 15th, that would put me in Tulsa by mid-morning on the 16th, with 6 more hours to go after that. I would make it to Hurst by dinner time!
Of course, this is all up in the air at this point, and I am only in the contemplation stages. I normally don't travel light, so this will be an adventure in planning and packing for me.

IF you have violated 'nuff HOA rules, and it becomes just a bit more of a hassle than your willing to deal with again, I offer my humble, carpeted, air conditioned, cable equiped, man cave as an alternate location. Maybe 2011? Might be nice to just "ride away" from the carnage this event can create and let someone else work it. Or, spread it around to different locations close. John, you hafta bring your nifty scooter lift.

Not much chance of me getting tired of having it here (John might be another story) but no reason you can't plan one later in the year when it's actually hot and that air conditioning would be MUCH appreciated...

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.
Gonna try and leave later and give John a little more coffee time(My Bad John).
Austin or anyone else in Houston, if your gonna ride maybe we can hook up on 290 somewhere.
I need to call Texas Rookie to se if he's going or not... He's been a little busy riding the Venture he picked up.
Hopefully I'll have the 81XS11 back together this week and finished by then for the ride up.

Ya Know, April 20th is my birthday. . . I may just have to come to this one instead of just threatening like last year. It'll be a nice present to self.
