This is only 50mi from Springgreen and nice roads in between...my question is will anybody still be hangin around sunday. We just might concider getting a room there for sunday and taking off work monday. That's my plan anyway. Charley
Well, now that the WCR and Colorado Rallies have passed, it is time to get serious about the head count heading Marty's way since it is now only two months away.
Marty asked me to create an updated post with the head count. I am also asking for those who want a rally shirt so I can start planning on getting those ready as well. I will be sending the shirts to Marty for distribution at the event.
I went through and added all the names I found, but in the event I missed someone, please add your name to the list.
Here is the information about the rally: 2017 Central Rally - 8/11-13/2017 (http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=16222.0)
So, Please update your shirt request if you are attending or add your name to the correct section below.

Received an email from the Rally HQ's lodge, stating that only myself and another (Leon) person had secured a room for the Rally there. Email stated that unless they were contacted, that the block of rooms were going to be opened for the outside public.
I called the Round Barn Lodge about this. They will keep the block of rooms for Rally reservations until sometime this coming (07/17/17) Monday.
Call them 608.588.2568, if you're wanting a room.
Just finished confirming the reservation. They may have not had us listed with the group but, Fred and I good to go.
Kurt
That's odd. I've got a confirmation number, and when I made the reservation, the woman I talked to said, "There's a block of rooms reserved that weekend for a motorcycle group...FJowners..." I told her that I was with the group; I'll double-check the reservation.
We are getting down to it. The shirt will be shipped out next week. If you want a shirt, please add your request to the list below.
I will be sending them to Marty for distribution at the rally.

:yahoo: One week to go and we will be riding in Wisconsin. This will be a new adventure for me. There is a chance that I will fly to Salt Lake City, then ride the new to me 1995 FJ1200 to the rally directly from Salt Lake City.

Yep, just one week away. I'll also be riding my "new to me bike" to and at the Rally. See you, and everyone else there soon. Wahoo!

Marty,
Nice bike! Is that an '04?
Just bought my son an '03 Bumble Bee edition

Marty,

Thanks. It's an '02. The '03 through '05, have a blacked-out engine and frame. The '01 and '02 models, do not.
Your son will love his '03, and it's paint scheme is eye-catching.
The FZ1 bikes of their Generation ('01 - '05), are pretty nice. Sure they have their shortcomings, like many bikes, but they offer a lot too. Best of all, you can find low mileage (I did) examples, for really great prices.
Back to our regular programming...FJ Central Rally...
I'm going to have to ride in from Fond du Lac. Friday and Saturday mornings. About 2 1/2 hours non slab. What time do you think I should be there for the rides. I kinda remember kickstands up at 10:00 am. At most of the Rally's. (But I have dain brammage) If someone can let me know the plans. Would appreciate it.
With trying to build the house right now can't spend any pennies, for a room.

Dan:
I haven't set a time for departure yet. I am not sure if anyone has any interest in riding with me. Is there any, please pipe up. Goes for anyone.
A 10:00 a.m. kickstands up departure is a little later, than I'd like. I was planning on a long ride for Saturday, and looking at a 9:00 a.m. start.
If other people want to commit to riding as a group, I can accommodate a 10 start time.
Didn't you post recently that you made 70 large from your house sale? What's $120 for one night at the lodge for attending the Rally?
Dan, when you get there we will figure something out. I will volunteer 1/2 of Fred's bunk. It just makes sense, he spent time on a a ship during his enlistment. Fred is used to close courtiers.
FJ1100mjk, I will ride with you. I was thinking about figuring out the routes after we got there.
Kurt
Yah but finally got bids back for the geothermal. and both came back@$45,000. That going to put me $10,000 over my already stretched budget. Signed up for OT every single day for the last 2 years and worked every one they called me in for. 3146 hours last year. Of course I've never worked less than 2800 hours.for the 29 year's I've worked for them.

yah I should but that's why I'm building the new house 2300sq ft.shop/storage. And 973 sqft of living space.
I'll be riding in on Wednesday...who else is getting in that early for some Wed night socializing?

If our riding plans go as scheduled. Kurt and should be arriving around midnight, Wednesday.
Fred
Arrived a couple of hours ago...set up at the campground a few miles down the road. Liking this area quite a lot! :good2:
Hey Fred I will bring the extensions. To the rally.
Departing in about an hour. Forecast calls for rain this afternoon; with a little luck I'll have it timed about right. OTOH, I've missed the last two Boone Rallies, and what's a Rally without a little rain? It wouldn't be a Rally if I didn't get a little wet at some point.
See y'all this afternoon! :good2:
rossi
Kurt and I are a little east of Omaha, we will be there in a few hours.
Fred
I'll be heading out from Minneapolis around 3:30 today. Going to try and stay off the interstate as much as possible, not sure when I'll get in tonight- probably closer to 9pm. Looking forward to a lot of riding tomorrow! See you guys soon!
Well I made it home safe from the rally. Wow it was a deer gauntlet on the way home. It was like they knew it killed they're cousin and they were out to get me.
Was great to see all of the old friends.and meet some new ones. Some great roads and some great rides.
Here's some pics of the natural bridge I visited on my Solo ride Friday.
I made it home safe from the rally. A great time was had catching up with old friends and meeting a few new friends and even a "Not a member yet" FJ owner. As usual, the Rally did not disappoint. Great people, awesome roads to ride, Cap'n Ron navigated two days of twisty roads that were superb.
Fred
Myself and Alan made it back to my place in Iowa in the wee morning hours 3-6:30 am without issue, other than a heavy fog leaving Spring Green to Prairie du shein. Then late last night, Alan let me know he was home and safe.
Thanks to Marty for the great location and planning, also to Ron for being our guide and my personal "rabbit"!
It was a whorl wind rally, but it was so cool being in easy riding distance for me, that's right folks, no trailer this time for me!
Until next time!
Leon
Got home Sunday around 2 PM. Great Rally, great roads, new friends. I was very impressed with the roads - good pavement, good curves - getting back to northern Illinois was a disappointment. As soon as you get south of Mt. Carroll it becomes an endless drone.
Although there's no surcharge to pee at a state park in Illinois. :dash2:
Kudos to Marty for the planning. The accommodations were great and the food was good, everywhere we went. I came home with good memories, new friends, a time-travel token, and 5 pounds of artisanal cheese.
Ready to roll:

No restrooms, but they said we could pee outside. For free.

Solo ride on Saturday, to check out Dr. Evermore's Forevertron. This is what the time-travel token is for. It's a junk-sculpture garden behind a surplus shop. Steampunk before the term was invented, and very cool.

Gratiot, Wisconsin. Stopped for a smoke and picked up some pointy trash that fell off a pickup truck, right in the middle of an intersection. They were so impressed with my act of good citizenship that they named a bar after me.
