Some of you might have heard about this bike rally in July us VTXOA members have put together and now you are officially invited. Check out the details in the website above. Here are a couple posts in the past on the history of how things started and the big interest in the event. It should be a BLAST! The city of La Crosse is excited to have us for the weekend. If all goes well, we can have a Midwest annual event.

I just sent out an email to all the registered riders so far. As of right now we have about 75 people registered including guests. We have room for allot more.

We need your help though. If you are a HRCA member (Honda Riders Club of America) and are coming or even kicking the idea around, could you do us a favor and send an email to: lancec@frontiernet.net with your member name and State you live in. Two Brothers Honda, one of the sponsors for the event needs this information.

If you have friends that might come, there info is appreciated too.

Thanks, and please go to the web page and register if your coming or you might come. This is really going to help the planning stages for the volunteers and sponsors to know if we have approximately 100 or 200 people coming for example.

Sounds like a blast Caps! I wish I could make it, but unfortunitally we have plans that weekend :? After looking at this huge event your throwing, it makes me hope that this SD/ND Meet & Greet doesn't come up short!

On a side note, I'm going to shoot you a PM on somthing I've been thinking about.

If you might go you should go Register.

So far we don't have anyone from the Dakotas yet.
Hope to see you there!

So Caps, you want me to register even if I am not sure if I can make it yet? Does that require any money deposit or anything?

thx sixwillwin

Yep, if theres a 50% chance you might make it please register. This will give the people preparing the BBQ a ballpark number on how many are coming.

There are no fees for registering.

[sixwillwin]

Ok thanks, I will do that then.

I just sent out an email to all the registered riders. If you signed up but did not get an email let me know.

Anyone else from SD or Sioux Falls going? I am planning on it as of now. My problem now is that my wife wants to go along, which is great, but it will make packing for a 3 day a challenge as I have NO bags or storage on my bike. I can make things work just for me on trips but will have to come up with some plan for the both of us. I guess its either ship a box ahead of us or her idea was for her to drive in the car there with her stuff! OK, thats weird I thought, especially with $4 gas right now. I'll come up with something.

If you want I can borrow you a backpack like sassage said. Its a T-Bag thats light weight.

Or I know of a couple guys in the La Crosse area that you could ship your things to. That would be way cheaper then driving a separate car. I'm sure you could ship to your hotel too.
