2012 West Coast Rally Discussion

[Mark Olson]

Go Pat Go 

you the man.

[Marsh White]

I am on it.

I'm asking for a price on 12 to 14 rooms, 2 queens, double occupancy, arriving on Thrurday May 31, departing on Sunday June 3rd.

I will report back to the group.

The weekend before that the other motorcycle group stays there and uses them for home base.  They are a sport touring MC group as well.  They have an outside area roped off for them where everyone parks their bikes in and they eat out there on tables etc.  Security patrols keep everything secure.  Make sure you tell them we are the same as those guys and we will want the same ammenities and service - and to stay in that same east wing of the hotel where our bike/gathering area will be.

Yep, I spoke with Mini there at the Best Western (559) 781-7411.
She said the Memorial Day Sport Touring group uses over 35 rooms and they bring in their own tent and hire their own security guard.

We are small potatoes compared to that group, but never-the-less she will get us the same parking arrangements and book us into the east wing. She has a BBQ we can use if we wish to cook out.

She is checking on the prices..... I asked her to sharpen her pencil.

You're a good man Paddy, book a room for me & my boy Fluffy please.
Twin double beds, there's a good chap.
No spooning!
Bet most of the listers don't know that you and I have slept in the same bed, eh?
We can do that as we are mature heterosexuals, comfortable with our own sexuality.

[Pat Conlon]

Hey, it was the last room in the inn and I was exhausted after driving all night in the rain to Tellico. What time did we get in, 4am or so?

All was fine you big galoot until the morning, when you put your giant squid paw on my ass. <shudder>
The only time I've gotten out of bed that fast was in jump school, at Ft.Benning, when the drill sergeant was screaming while kicking the trash can down the hall.

[Flynt]

count me in Pat!  single queen room...  buckwheat pillow...  and an extra strong coffee blend for the morning please

I am glad we came around on the hotel approach too as camping in the central valley in June may not have been the best!  I can see where the campfire has advantages but at least we will wake up rested and ready for all the twisties the day has to offer!

Please include me on the list!  I will need a double room as I will have my buddy Roger in tow on his Aprilia Futura....

Cheers-

[Mark Olson]

so we are talking about june 1st weekend correct?

[pdxfj]

Go ahead and put me down for a double room.  Brian's attendance is up in the air at the moment.  I suggested if he could make a rally this year to try for the CO rally.

[Marsh White]

so we are talking about june 1st weekend correct?

So that is where we stand.  Yes, the WCR is planned to be at the same dates as usual: the weekend after Memorial Day.  June 1st - June 3rd.  Any help finding a place where we can have a fire and hang out and NOT have to bring tents and stuff would be greatly appreciated!

June 1st - June 3rd seems to be the tentative dates though.

yep, executive decision here,Friday June 1st to Sunday the 3rd, 2012 with some rolling in on the Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm asking for a price on 12 to 14 rooms, 2 queens, double occupancy, arriving on Thrurday May 31, departing on Sunday June 3rd.

[FJmonkey]

I am in, I can single in a room or bunk up with another that can tolerate a monkey that might snore a little..... Frank and Henry had no complaints that I know of.....

[Flynt]

I'd be happy to room with Monkey again...  he's a swell guy and his boots were really toasty for heading to the pisser.

Seriously, I have no issues sharing a room if that works better Pat.  I will also go solo...  whatever fits the plan best.

[Marsh White]

Guys, I have a strong feeling that this will work just like booking a cabin at a KOA.  Meaning; Pat gets them to hold a block of rooms for us for a period of time (probably short in this case) and we call up and reserve them ourselves - give our credit card number - specify the number of beds, etc.  I have a distinct feeling all of this "1 bed or 2 bed" or "put my name down for a room" stuff that is being posted here is totally irrelevant....just sayin'...

[Mark Olson]

  thank you marsh , I guess I should have used the search feature a little more than I did.

[Marsh White]

thank you marsh , I guess I should have used the search feature a little more than I did.

No worries Mark!  I didn't mean to be a dickhead/smartass - I hope you didn't take it that way...   Anyway - we missed you last year!  Hope you are all healed up and better now!  How is that potato cannon doing?  Hotel or not - I still plan on shooting some spuds...        My theory was that there was a crack in the plastic somewhere (or a fitting was leaking) that was messing up the VERY delicate ratio of propane to air...did you suss it out?
