Added more info and a few links to the Yosemite ride to the web site. Came to my attention today the Crane Flats Gas station was going to be closed for retankingso I had to make some adjustments.

 

Can we go this weekend...I'm soooooooo ready for a vacation....sigh

 

Hey Bev, I'm chompin on the bit myself, only 15 more days.

 

I know what you mean...the Mammoth ride in Sept., then a group of us are spending 4 days in October doing the Sequoia's and the coast. Next year we're doing two weeks on the East Coast and then 2 weeks in Europe on a fly-n-ride with friends who live in Budapest.

 

Sounds like a great bunch of bookings....If I have time (my vacation might be cut short) we are hoping to go a bit north then over to the coast after Mammoth. We went throught the Sequoia's and Kings Canyon last year. If you haven't found a place to stay I highly recommend the Grants Grove Cabins....I would definately stay there again.

I'd almost rather do a fall east coast ride then Sturgis (which I was planning for next year). I have loads of relatives back there and a ton of HDF members I wouldn't mind meeting.

Can't figure out how to get the bikes out there on the cheap. Riding isn't really an option just due to time constraints. I'd like to ship them to the north (like Connecticut)and ride south then ship them back about NC. That would be some great riding in the fall. I'm selfish and would want 2 bikes so it can be cost prohibitive to rent for 14 days one way. Been trying to figure out the best way to do it.

Europe sounds great too...But that is several years off for me.

 

So bummed i can't make the trip.

 

Want me to call your boss and plead my case?

 

What we're going to do for the East Coast and Europe is the H-D fly-n-ride program. Just set up reservations through the HOG website/or phonecall and book for the nearest dealer. Check with them to see if the bike can go one way on your East coast plans. I think my friend paid around $700 for a 7-day rental out here when he came to visit last year, picked up an Electraglide Classic from a local dealer here in town.
If they won't do it, check out Eaglerider. I know they rent bikes one-way because several times a year I get emails from them offering specials to move their bikes back to their original locations. There was one I almost jumped on but it was the wrong time of the year and short notice....for $100 I could have picked up an Ultra in Las Angeles and rode it to somewhere in Georgia (my gas money, of course) and they would have given me 7 days to do it.

 

Woo Hoo we have another rider!Welcome marcss!!

 

Sunday Breakfest...

I've chosen the stove which is supposed to be pretty good. I figure before folks pull out we might have a last meal...so if you have time....

Should I call and tell them 7:30, 8:00, or 8:30am?
