The WCR has a potato cannon (just for fun) and then to instantly start our bonfires we have Thermite, maybe the central rally can have one of these...

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Too much fun.. we would get shutdown just like the time me and steve were firing m-80's out of the potato cannon.  :shok:

It was cool though.  :wacko3:

Looks like I'm going to have to cancel out on the Colorado rally again.  :dash2: 
Looking like I'm going to be building my dream. Shop/house. If it goes through. It's going to consume not only all my spare cash. But also all of me time. This year.

So long story short. I've cancelled my reservation for the Imogene cabin. Did it this evening. So it's up for grabs.

You'll be missed........
You'll just have to hold next year's Rally at your new place. Make sure you build in enough accommodations, a smoke-house, and a fully stocked wet-bar  :good2:

My attendance in now doubtful too, since my FJ and I were hitching a ride with Dan.  :cray:

Dan, no problem with your decision. I totally understand.

For now, I will keep my camper cabin reservation active at the resort, while I weigh other options. As I recall, I have up to 72 hours in advance of my first day, and cancel it without penalty.

Always thought that I could make an epic ride (with some unremarkable stretches of highways) of going to and from the Rally. However, to do so would require much more time than I can allocate, when considering another planned summer vacation in the Northwest.

If I can't make it, I am glad that I went the 2015 Black Hills Rally, where I met and rode with some of the members/enthusiasts.

Time will tell.

Bummer giantkiller!  Was looking forward to meeting you out there! Congrats on the new homestead!

I might have room for another bike on the way home if I trailer out there or I can put my bike in another truck/trailer with someone if the concern was splitting gas.  I have an outback that puts out 30hp more than the FJ... let's just say it would not be a quick drive either direction pulling a trailer.

I'll be heading out West May 25th and coming back on June 12th.

Dan,

Sorry to hear about you not making the Rally.  :dash1: Congratulations on your new Home/Shop. :drinks: Like Alan mentioned......Give us the scoop on the local curvy roads....Possible Central Rally in Wisconsin for 2017.


I can make an offer for a ride and trailer event. Someone can ride to Kansas City on June 7th. I can meet you there, load the bike on my trailer and head west, bright and early on the 8th. Travel is by Land Yacht (Yukon XL) plenty of room. You can be returned to Kansas City in the late evening of the 12th.

If anyone is interested, PM me and we can work out the finer details.

There you go Marty. Fred you are awesome. If it works out. I'll have plenty of room. But riding isn't that great around hear.  West side of the state is good.  And there is a road on a reservation that is awesome. Has designated turn offs for slower traffic. Never seen a cop. I think they built it so people will come visit their casino.

I know I stuck my hand up a couple of months ago as a possible attendee of the Central Rally, but I'm not going to be able to make it. There are just too many life issues going on right now to commit to making it to Colorado. My only consolation is that the same week of the Central Rally, there will be some guys coming to Arkansas to ride the Ozarks that I can fall in with for a few days of twisty riding. I guess in the big scheme of things, that's not a terrible option.
