Endobob Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Plans are shaping up for a trip to the PNW and, since it's along the way, I guess I'm in. Yea! Let's hope this really happens this year!👠Link to comment
Bud Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks Bob. Looking pretty sure (always subject to change), OTOH, I won't have to worry about prostate cancer treatments this year. Edited January 13, 2018 by Bud Link to comment
RocketJohn Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am in. Easy ride from Denver. Link to comment
Id's_OK Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hmmm, let's see... My new-ish bike hasn't been on a true long-distant trip yet, had to cancel trip to START, single, so no permission or coordination needed, and it's the start of slow season at work. Guess that means I'm IN! Christopher Patterson, just me, Id's_OK Link to comment
Bud Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 OUT. Hip replacement surgery scheduled for July 13th. No UN. No big trip out west after. But pain free hip is worth something, isn't it????? :clap: Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 No. Poor scheduling. If it can wait til the 13th, it can wait another 10 days. Take 2 bottles of scotch and call me in the morning. Good Luck. Link to comment
Bud Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This surgeon is fully booked. For instance, if I didn't take the appointment that I had today, the next available opening was April18th. 8 weeks post op I will be good to go. Have a cold one for me at the UN! Link to comment
mrzoom Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ask the DR. about a waiting list to move you up. Maybe someone will cancel or move or whatever.... Link to comment

Fubar Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I know I've been away for a while - I won't bore you with details - but isn't 2018 supposed to be an East Coast year? Or am I just seriously confused (i.e., normal)? Link to comment

Or am I just seriously confused (i.e., normal)? Since I have been a member even years have been West of the Mississippi. Link to comment
EffBee Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I know I've been away for a while - I won't bore you with details - but isn't 2018 supposed to be an East Coast year? Or am I just seriously confused (i.e., normal)? It goes like this. The first UnRally (Un #1) was in 2002 in Gunnison, CO (western half of the U.S.) Thus, you can see that the number of the UnRally and the year, are off by one and have continued to be off by that much every year. This year is 2018, an even year. And the UnRally is UnRally17, an odd number. So the Uns are in the West on even years, but it is the odd # Uns that are in the West. The Uns are in the East on odd years, but it is the even # Uns that are in the East. Confused yet? Link to comment
szurszewski Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Confused yet? Not until now. Thanks! Link to comment
BrianT Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I know I've been away for a while - I won't bore you with details - but isn't 2018 supposed to be an East Coast year? Or am I just seriously confused (i.e., normal)? 2016 was Montana, 2017 North Carolina. So nope, it'd be west half again. Although its about midway going east to west so not really either coast. Can we call it a North Coast year? Link to comment

** Chris ** Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 This event is quickly creeping up on us. Maybe I should look at my tires! Link to comment
randy Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 T-7 for me, I leave next Friday around 8pm. Arrive Palmer Gulch Saturday around 8pm. Just took the bike into BMW dealer and had it checked over, all good, no issues. Very excited to have a week off and site see the area. Link to comment
MikeB60 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 T-7 for us as well. We are trailering the Spyder and GS. I've been on the road for the past three months with work and looking forward to some time off. We spent a few days in Rapid City on the way to the UN at Red Lodge and had a blast. Link to comment
92Merc Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I've had a change of plans. My wife is attending a ladies motorcycle rally in ND on Saturday. But I really want to do the Devils Tower run on Sunday. So I'm leaving her behind and traveling to SD on Saturday. She has a GPS and can find her own way. :-) Anyway, my Palmer Gulch reservation only started on Sunday. But I have a sister in Rapid I'd like to see anyway. So I'll be in Rapid on Saturday. What's going to be the best way/time to meet up with everyone for me to go to the Devils Tower ride on Sunday? I'm guessing I just need a good time to arrive at PG Sunday morning. Link to comment
Twisties Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 T+1. Sharon's mom broke her leg yesterday, and we are all up in the air. Today's planned departure did not occur. Link to comment
Twisties Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ride to Devil's Tower Sunday??? First I'm seeing this. Are there some planned rides? Linky? Link to comment
92Merc Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Twisties, the latest ride list is here: http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1014431#Post1014431 Link to comment
Twisties Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks, I had seen that but I just thought it was Randy planning his rides... Link to comment
randy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) ok YES that was my daily ride list. But anyone is welcome to join us. assuming no vehicle trouble on the drive out on Saturday, our Sunday AM departure is 8:30am local time. Bike fueled and ready to ride. Andy Raye has a Sena 20s so if you have one you will be able to sync with Andy. AND just a NOTE: Andy and I are SLOW riders and we do stop to take pictures and enjoy ourselves. that is one of the reason I posted the list. One to get feedback and two if other riders wanted to do the same ride, but did not want to go at our pace, they could. If you want to join Andy and I we would enjoy the company. If anyone wants to join us on other days, current plan is 8:30am leave time each day. Andy and I are pretty responsible (well some might disagree) but we can run late up to 15 minutes. But for the most part we plan on leaving Palmer Gulch each day at 8:30am. Also each day is planned on a 5pm return time. Edited July 16, 2018 by randy Link to comment
