Well, we are all cool....but, if you are thinking about attending a WCR then next year is the one to make.  Just wait until I officially announce where the next WCR is going to be - it will be the BEST WCR ever!!! It is so freaking cool I cannot believe I even pulled it off!!  I'm just finalizing the details now...

You've peaked my interest.
I already have my wife understanding that I'm going to Colorado, but now I ask myself, why not try to make a run to Cali?
I eagerly await further details!

As far as which is best, I'll hold my opinion until I have attended each one of them.
I just can't see any of them being a "bad" thing!

The George was consulted.

Question to The George:
>Are you going to make it to another FJ rally?  I'm currently planning
>the next one a bit farther north so we can ride the Hwy 36.

Response from The George:
No, probably not. As I've said, I just can't stand long drives. For me a long drive is anything over about 90 minutes. Petaluma was just borderline for me. I miss going to the rallies because I have a pretty boring life and getting away from the house and actually doing something was a nice change. But I've missed out on many other things over the years because of my long distance phobia. I've backed out on rides to Yosemite and trips to Glamis sand dunes (both are places that I really wanted to go) just because they are too far away. I don't know why I have no tolerance for long trips, but I don't. Maybe it was the long non-stop drives to visit family in Iowa that I was forced to endure as a kid?

I'd like to attend again if it ever makes it way back to Petaluma (or closer), but don't move it on my account. What ever the majority of attendees want is what counts.

Marsh, There is a KOA in west sac that might be close enough (but not sure) for George :rofl2: :wacko1:  :dash1:

Quite possibly the greatest shirt on the plannet.  Made me laugh, hard.

I totally agree!!!!!
This year was my 1st, and I am dreaming of next year hoping that I'll be able to make it to the WCR......
Plans are in the works for a move to Colorado, and it's looking like we might be moving around the time that it would be planned.
We'll see how it shakes out  :hi:

If one was going to attend a rally which group of guys are cooler? the east coast guys or west coast guys?

OK is this going to be a EAST coast... West coast  Beef!!!!  Are we going have "RIDE by's" :biggrin:

I have been to both an East coast & West coast rally and I have to say the People and the roads are the same ..."ALL GOOD".  Get yourself to one or both you will not be disappointed.

I do have to say I probably would have been back to an East coast one sooner if was not for this guys who wears hat with a stupid bird on it... I think it might be raven :sarcastic:

Go Bengals!


* Marsh come spill the beans about 2011WCR, is going to be June 2-5th, I may need change other plans if its on a different date.

If I can, my plan is to do some Rallys in 2011!

WCR: June 2nd - June 5th, 2010.  Around Hayfork.  I'm still finializing the rest of the details with the owner and should have the contract (yes, a contract) and everything else firmed up early next week.  But the dates are solid.

I hope you meant 2011, Marsh.
