Indy Dave Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Ok, we're iN! Thursday afternoonishingly arrival. 1st roundel is on me... EXCELLENT!!! We ALL value our avuncular relationship with you and look forward to the time together as much as we do the riding. Link to comment
Bud Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Tim - I too want you to know just how much you and Beth have been a consistently positive part of the past almost 15+ year experience I have had with BMWST.com and it's board members. Your positive attitude, willingness to share your knowledge, and experiences, not only with motorcycling, but on a wide range of issues, has always brought a smile on my face and a feeling of gratitude for having been able to benefit from your life's experiences. I will be thinking only positive thoughts and hope to share some good times with you and Beth in the future! Well said Bob. Tim has been so generous to all of us. I called him "The voice of reason" once at a meal. Don't know why but Beth seemed to raise her eyebrows. Looking forward to seeing everyone at FART. Link to comment
Endobob Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Ok, we're iN! Thursday afternoonishingly arrival. 1st roundel is on me... Fantastic! Okay any of you BMWST members out there that are on the fence as to attending FART '18, this is another and important reason to attend this one! Tell your significant other, employer, or whoever you need to, that this is a rare and most important event to attend! Just make any excuse you need to but be there! If you are truly a motorcycling enthusiast and have not had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Tim and Beth, you absolutely need to attend. Link to comment

Lone_RT_rider Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Well, again..... the best laid plans. Grrrrrrr! I've had something come up at work that requires I stay in Wisconsin for this FART. This is absolutely killing me. Mitch and I will take a consolation prize by riding some of the "Dances with Cows" roads from that Un-rally on the weekend that y'all are in Dillard. I'll be canceling my reservation at the hotel today. As for the Whiskey bootleggers that were going to help me out, I will just catch it next time. No need to divert for me. Y'all have fun.

Indy Dave Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Shawn - Bummer Dude! Given your Super Human effort to make it through Snow, Sleet, Ice and who knows what else to get to START last Spring, I half expected that you'd arranged to move you entire facility to Dillard for a week. And then move them all back again! Enjoy your ride with Mitch, and we'll raise a glass of swill and utter some flowery sounding words too! Edited August 15, 2018 by Indy Dave Link to comment
MikeB60 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 DyAnne and I have reservations from Wednesday through Sunday. Hopefully we can make it without work getting in the way. Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Administrivia! Just a friendly Twist of the Wrist Reminder, our room block hold gets released on Aug 26th - 8 days from today! Clear your calendar and come join us for a great weekend of riding! Come Winter, you'll be glad you did! Edited August 18, 2018 by Indy Dave Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Teaser and Reminder: Our room block hold expires on the 26th! If you're on the fence, I encourage you to reserve your room now, you still can cancel with no penalty within 2 weeks of your arrival. If your plans change after the 2 week cancellation deadline, you can still transfer your room to someone else, and your reservation becomes theirs and there's no penalty for anyone! How cool is that? Kinsley is putting the final touches on routes Can I just state the obvious here - one of the great things about START & FART is all of the behind the scenes routing work that goes on so you and I can just show up and ride . We'll also be announcing our Friday night meal location and a Thursday night activity and we have added to the prize list this year. So, clear you calendar and come join us! No one wants to go all Winter without FARTing Edited August 23, 2018 by Indy Dave Link to comment

John Ranalletta Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Dave, are reservations or prepay needed for dinner? TIA Edited August 29, 2018 by John Ranalletta Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Dave, are reservations or prepay needed for dinner? TIA Great question John! There IS NO prepay!! We're fortunate that we have a location that doesn't require a deposit for our group, despite the fact that they are reserving a room for us and preparing a lot of food. In order for our group to come and go quickly and not have a large disparity between the first table served and the last table served (like we had in Maggie last time), we've selected a standard meal - with a couple of options. We feel this is the best of both worlds, and keeps Kinsley and me out of the middleman business. Simple is better! Perhaps naively, we expect EVERYONE to come to the meal, and that's what we share with the restaurant - to expect our entire group to be at the meal. So that's how the food prep and prices are set. If for some reason there is a low dinner turn out, the restaurant is going to get burned and I doubt we would be welcomed back in the future. Wanting to avoid those situations . . . PLEASE RESERVE YOU DINNER SPOT(S) BY RESPONDING TO THIS THREAD! ADDED: Everyone will be responsible for paying for their own check(s) at the restaurant. Indy Dave 6th gear two IN for dinner!
