2024 Brown County, Indiana Rally - June 20 - 23, 2024

[gtem]

Looking forward to seeing you there Rich!

Wife approved. I’m in!
I’ll put in for Vacation this week. Won’t be a problem. Will take off Thursday thru Monday (likely will need a rest day).
Will be riding to Norm’s and spending the night Wednesday. Meeting Justin there as well. I have to work out those details with them.
So need room tor Thurs, Fri, Sat nights. Don’t care who I bunk with.
As much as I’d love to be on the GS, I’ll be on the Tiger, it’s built for long hauls. This will be by far the farthest I’ve ever ridden.

Brian, this will be my first rally, so I’m not clear on how you or Jay handle room payment, etc. please let me know what you need from me.
Can provide email and cell # as needed.

Really looking forward to this, and meeting and riding with you all.

Glad to hear it Rich....Can't wait to meet you in person..

I'm playing with the idea of getting the Bonnie to 200K miles so I would obviously take the T120. It is the most fun in the twisty stuff.

The Wing obviously is the easiest bike to take!

[Wingsconsin]

! Maybe I should just take the Wing to be safe!

The MOST reliable ride ever - and 1000+ miles is just a good warm up ride - 3-1/2 gas stops and you are done

IF I can find the electrical gremlin in the 850 I will ride her to the fun - or else I can bring the BIG GURL and ride easy on the comfort of a Barcalounger.

If you can manage it at all, make sure you leave some time to soak in a few of the EPIC roads in eastern KY. For example, 22 on either side of Falmouth is most famous.

Also, perhaps consider crossing the Ohio River into Indiana using the ferry at Rising Sun.

It's operated by the casino to increase their supply of Kentucky grannies to pluck, but there's no requirement at all to be a patron of the casino or a granny. It was still free last fall.

Excellent!
Thank you for this, I could make a day trip on Thursday on my way over from Florence KY.

I'll add to the plan.

Thank you!

So got off the Horn with my good friend in Florence KY and he's offering me a place to crash....

Haven't signed in here for some time... Thanks for kicking this off once again Brian !

I'm in for the rally of course, and hope to get some scouting rides in beforehand.

I've almost track of how many bikes I've attended on...8 different bikes I believe. In some kind of order, 1000L, 1100G, Connie, 1000E, SV1000 , KLR, 850G and FJ-09. Surprisingly and couple GS have gone thru the stable and not made it to BC, the 1100E and 750E, a few others now forgotten.

Happy Trails !

So got off the Horn with my good friend in Florence KY and he's offering me a place to crash. I haven't seen him in years and will likely crash with him.
Still trying to sell the idea to the wife though...
Plan would be to depart VT around 5AMish Wednesday and get to KY by 6PMish, hang out and crash. Hang with my buddy Thursday morning and take the quick 2.5 hour ride to Bedford.
Sunday I will bid all ya'll cats an adieu with a super early departure and watch the sunrise as I slog the 1000 miles back home to Vermont.
6 Years since I last came to this one, looking forward to making it out and seeing everyone!.. Just have to convince Momma bear.
Also hoping for no chain snapping this year!!! Maybe I should just take the Wing to be safe!

Thanks Norm!

[storm 64]

No problem staying at my house guys. I have a spare bedroom and a comfy couch. I'm single and live by myself so nothing to feel awkward about. You guys are more than welcome.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I've been thinking about trying to make this rally as well, now that I have a bike that will handle the 10+hour one-way trip. Guess I really need to sit down and plan it out. Norm may have a full house. Don't mind sleeping on the floor.

[Jedz123]

WHAT!?!?! I always just click past this post sad as it's always landed early June in the middle of my commencement and reunion heck hole, I mean work.

HOWEVER I think I can make these dates work!

storm 64 I may need to crash again in Ohio.

The question is, what bike to bring?

Cheers,

[Wingsconsin]
