    Still have it, but likely would just run up there cage-bound. Possibly just do the motel option as Jeff has done.

    • How far is the motel from the campground? Is it in Kremmling?
      What's the name/ phone number for it?

        • Welcome dpotter58!

          Motel is maybe one mile or so west, in Kremmling. Campground is a mile east of Kremmling, on Hwy 40.

          JeffH posted up he had reserved a room in Kremmling but didn't say which place.

            Yeah, I doubt someone who flies to a bike rally from a place called Mary land is tough enough to camp with the men. Bet he shows up on a Hardley.

            • Would like to do this rally, if only for the fact to bum out Potter by showing up, but will be just getting back from vacation the weekend before that and I'll be in the middle of a big $11m project at work.

              But who knows.. I could get fired by then or hit the lottery. I prefer the latter.

                  You're getting as good with the excuses as Russ or Ben.

                  You even got a bike running yet?

                        Did you join Eagle Riders or just do daily rental ?

                        • And like I asked in the p.m. yesterday, what bike did you reserve? I would be partial to the BMW R1200RT for the kind of riding we will do. A heavier bagger on the twisty high altitude roads behind a slow vehicle or two might be more work than you want.

                            Motel where JeffH is staying is the Super 8 in Kremmling, if that is of some help.

                            • Far?..........IIRC, approx. 6mi. north of Kremmling towards Grand Lake.

                                I did join Phil. $29 to join and $29 a month. Each month you are in you earn a free days rental. By July I should have 7 days worth so the bike will be covered. I'm sure there will be an insurance charge and who knows what else but seems like a good deal. They have a lot of locations. If you do sign up, use my code FLWAK and I get another free day.

                                Didn't reserve one yet. I'll do it as we get closer to the rally. I can't use my credits until they are accumulated. My "personal" rep Glenn, assured me they have plenty of bikes and it's not a busy time for them... I'll take your advice on the BMW if it's available.

                                I'm pretty excited and am 100% in. For you guys that live out there, ever been to a bar in Fort Collins called lucky's ? It belongs to a neighbors cousin.
