CatatonicBug, you thinking of the Motoman pre-rally rally, or coming for the rally rally too?

Sounds good, reservation will remain as-is for a July 15 arrival!
Bob, I am really considering riding the ZRX. It is a fun bike and with the larger Rifle Superbike fairing on it, breaks a fair amount of air out in front and should do ok for rain protection, but not as good as the Plexi-III on the SG. It is a more comfortable riding position too. If I had a trailer I would haul them both the 60-70 miles from home to the campground.
Relative to the SG, with the 50-60 mph roads we ride for the rally, the ZRX is just sleep walking, a lot like your C14.Last edited by Bonz; 06-02-2016, 10:05 AM.

I was planning on stopping at Brant's (motorman) place on the 14th and arriving mid day on the 15th to the campsite.

Planning to arrive mid-day on the 15th
I plan to arrive mid-day on the 15th, so no need to reserve the campground early. Thanks for the offer though.

Jeff,
That would be great. Bohn and I will plan on it.
(And, anyone else that wants to join us, too.)
We'll be staying in town at the Colorado Inn, again.
We stayed there the last time, and it's a great place. Good folks that own that place, walking distance to restraunts, and they have a perfect place to park his truck/trailer for unloading the bikes.
I'll be riding north from Skiatook, Ok to Salina, Ks. to meet Bohn. (5 hrs.)
There, we'll load my C14 in his enclosed trailer along with his bike, and we'll drive in the west of the way. Greg may take 400 west out of Witchita. Several small towns with frequent gas stations along that route for his Special.
We like the idea of having a truck/trailer nearby in case of emergency or break down.
When I left Skiatook to make this rally the last time, it was 36 degrees and pouring rain! It rained all the way to Salina. I was more than ready to get in the cab of Bohn's truck after 5 hrs. It rained all the way to Colorado Springs on us!
On the way back, it was over 100 degrees for the 5hr. ride home from Salina.
Last time we were at the rally, there was a place across from the campground that gave helicopter rides out over the gorge. Bohn and I did that, just before leaving town. That was cool. If they're still there, we may do it again.

Originally posted by Bonz View PostWould anyone like to arrive a day earlier, especially the ones riding on their bikes, and have the group site available starting July 14th (Thurs)? That gives a full day to unwind and relax before we ride on Saturday and Sunday. Could be used take a short ride over to the Royal Gorge, or an easy ride to Salida and and back to enjoy US Hwy 50's curves and sights along the Arkansas river.
Right now, the site is available for us to do that.
I want to get a show of hands as to how many would take advantage of that.
Let me know and let's go from there.

Hey all... with the longer distances a number of you are travelling to attend the rally (not just the Cali crew but new blood from Chicago, Utah and Georgia being long haulers who are riding their bikes).

XJOK2PLAY, what hotel are you and Bohn staying at, do you mind sharing and other guys might check there to get their rooms?
Bohn and I are booked at The Colorado Inn in Canon City for July 14/15/16/17.
The rooms are small. Not sure if they have anymore available...
Contact Christine @ 719-275-9601 @ the Colorado Inn.
