mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa 🤦‍♀️.  

It changed after you guys registered, but not because 😃

[Burt]

Well, I'm going to try again.  In Wed-Sun, reservation made.  I broke my ankle two days before I was going to leave for START.  I'll try to not do that again.

actually, this will be a makeup trip, the last Natural Bridge event Uncle Tom's motorcycle had a 125.00 part fail, and I had to trailer him back to Morristown and he missed the event.  Hoping he has no issues and gets to enjoy Natural Bridge this time.

I’ve enticed my 2 Canadian BMW converts, Lance and John , to make the trip.  They are booked probably arriving Wednesday on their RS’s.

Sent an email to see if there is still a room available for a solo rider.  Will be my first event outside of Torrey and looking forward to it.

This group looked like a pleasant bunch (at least "on paper") so I made the hotel reservation a week or 2 ago & promptly went on vacation.

So here's my late notice of attendance Wed. to Sun. I'm meeting a friend of mine at this event who's from upstate NY and I'm coming from SW Wisconsin; unless life intercedes.

Looking forward to creating some new friendships and favoring some new roads.   (hmm ... Should I also submit a "New Member" entry? ... or ... will this suffice?)

Welcome welcome welcome! The riding is great  and the folks here aren't too bad .

 

There are a couple of first timer threads with general info that's intended to be helpful(?) .

 

Please feel free to post any questions here or pm me.

 

Looking forward to meeting you both!

[Motorhead1977]

So #JDH1952, where in upstate NY is your friend Peter W coming from.  We (plus our friend Matt V) are heading down (truck and trailer) from the Albany area.  It's an easy going group......, they let me show up 

[wbw6cos]

.......something, something, bourbon and cigars,  something like that.  Or so I have heard.

Hoping for the "easy going group" ...

 

PeterW is from Greenwich, NY riding a KTM12xx ???  I'll try to get him to follow this link/group.

 

I used to live near Averill Park, NY. Moved to Wisconsin, near Dubuque 7-8 years ago. I've been following the DART events in hopes of attending but it seems my wife always plans our vacation elsewhere on those days so I haven't been able to make it to DART yet.

 

Thank you all for the greetings.

Ha ... had to look up Greenwich NY but it is in a nice part of the state for sure!    Will be a nice ride down to VA !   

[RTinNC]

Well .... looks like we have another member attending from the "Charlotte Crew" 

 

My buddy Dennis Lohouse from Rochester NY has booked !!   Dennis was with me on my recent trip to Redmond and rode with me to Great Falls in 2021. 

 

It appears the "Charlotte Crew" is now about TEN .... no not close to the Indy massive gang but we're trying 

 

I will suggest Dennis gets a login and posts his own "I'm in" post

That's quite a geographical stretch.

 

Now you've gone and done it, Indy Dave wil lay claim to the Gawja and Florida boys.

If we started a Carolina crew, I think we'd give em a run for their money

Hey Charlotte is unfortunately one of the largest growing cities…. Apparently now border to border.

 

But I think “Indy”  @Indy Dave covers most of the Midwest 🙄

 

@taylor1 I do like the name change to “Carolinas” 😂😂

I am sure NE-FL is a Indy suburb and I know it is the southern portion of Canada.

I would feel a little embarrassed. Everyone knows that a true southerner would never associate the name of a place north of the Mason Dixon Line as their own.
But then again when Indy Dave is involved

I always found it interesting that the Mason - Dixon line is the Western border of Delaware and the Southern border of Pennsylvania, some folks do seem to ignore the Western border of Delaware part even though that's how it was surveyed by Mason and Dixon

Well, there are no true southerners in Florida anymore.
