FJ rallies in the north east?

[carsick]

 
"dont forget the firewood.....we'll need a souce for lots of it!"

It's OK, ME/NH has plenty o' firewood. Went for a ride today and somehow the wind just blew me toward NH, crossed the river just to say I was there. Incredible views of the White Mountains with afternoon sun on the snow. Kind of chilly 110 miles with no grip warmers, but I must start the training regimen now if I expect to be ready for the NEFJR'10. It is a transitional time here, met plenty of snowmachines at crossings, both of us saying what the hell are YOU doing? Thankful for air cooled engines, warm the left hand on uphills, right hand on downhills with the clutch pulled in. Sorry to hear about the no assholes rule, I was so looking forward to being myself.

... but what if you are not on an FJ but act like an asshole?

       you get a funny name and all farts aimed in your general direction?


only reason i said anything about assholes is the guy that Danny brought to the spring rally..... he was a decent fella until he started tossing back a few then he did a jeykl and hyde

definitely was over the top and almost got his ass beat....  ask Eric Gellin Mcclellan.... he had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more self control than i ever would have given the same situation..... shit i almost popped the guy in the mouth just from overhearing his BS.

some people just should not drink alcohol period.

i dont think "drinkytime" will be back.... so there is a bright spot in all the madness 

ok back to rally talk and kookaloo!

[racerman_27410]

as far as i am concerned and as per standard rally practice ... all riders/bikes are welcome at any FJ rally.

just no assholes please 


KOokaloo!

Well, *that's* gonna put a damper on attendance...

Be aware that national or state park roads can be VERY crowded even on weekdays. 

I found that out the hard way on a Tuesday ride through the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. 
Holy Crap!  That wound up being a 50 mile crawl through a slow-rolling parking lot. 
Never again!

Others more familiar with this areas should chime in, but my experience with VT, NH, ME Parks driving has not been bad -at least mid-week.  Plenty of opportunities to get in trouble -and few rangers -unless that's changed in the past few years.  I was last up that way in a cage maybe 6 years back, and made several mental notes along the way that 2 wheels would be preferable on this road and that one etc.

I know that Smokey Mountain National Park crawl, and you're right David, it's frequently bad, and it always leaves wondering where the hell all of these campers come from...

I have some interest in this North East Rally concept.  It's slightly closer to PA than either of the southern spring/ fall rallies. -Which always helps.  I see food and roads and assholes discussions but nothing on dates.  As always, time (when and how long with +/- 27 years notice) is the critical bit for attendance for me. Anyone give any thought to when?

Just asking...

there is more moose up here than people, most of the tourists are on the coast. nothing is set in stone, i am trying to get a feel for what everyone wants before i finalize something. i was thinking 3 nights and a 2 day ride. unless everyone wants more.

and yes other bikes are welcome just break it to them easily that their bike won't be one of the cool looking ones.

That works for me.

Any ideas what there are for accommodations in the Sunday River area? I checked and there are no KOA facilities in Maine. Is there a campground? And are there cabins, or are tents the order of the day. I am with Frank we will need a bonfire and lots of firewood.

Cheers,

I am trying to get a hold of the maine campground ass. sold them a trailer couple years back. As soon as I here I will let you know.
He will be able to let me know which campground we can have a bonfire? (depends on conditions) drink and be loud.  any other must haves

[Travis398]

those sunday river condo's are off season rates and if everyone wants to cram in the same room (cabin) the condos would be as cheap as 50 bucks a night.

there are several houses on near by ponds and even sebago lake, but it is something like a couple grand to sleep 22. if i had all the money i would just rent one for a week and say everyone is invited. maybe someone reading this wants to kick in all the money for that 5 million dollar beach home for the week, cool i'm there.

till then the two bedroom two bath room fully furnished condo for 169 a night sounds pretty hard to beat. no tent no cabin just fully finished living quarters ready to go.

another thing how many people are bringing motor homes? do we need hook up for them also?  this is still 4 or 5 months away so don't get all pressured to make plans tonight. and yes if someone finds a place near the route speak up we can stay there i'm open to what the riders want.

i'll make a phone call or two but i thinking i will be able to guarantee the bone fire but probably not the lobster 

[Travis398]

i was wrong with some of the numbers in that post, i am seeing a luxuries condo mid week prices as low as 12.50 per person a night. thats probably cheaper then the tent lot you have to rent from the campground

[racerman_27410]

can i camp in the yard?

i will have hammock and tent (cause i like being prepared )

Kookaloo!
