Yes, I am.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

there is plenty in Durango, CO.  tons of rooms and bars to boot.  From there we could ride the million dollar highway loop and many others like Mesa Verde and so on.  I vote for Colorado or the Central Appalachians near Chattanoga, TN.


Both are great ideas.  Durango and the surrounding area is beautiful.  Chattanooga TN would allow me to play, as it's close.  There's also a good bit to do in that area as well as fantastic rides

Chattanooga would be sweet and not to far from the Barber museum.

What town is at the other end of Million Dollar Highway?

See you there Aug 7-11.

From most of the posts on this thread it seems as if So Co is getting most of the love. Tn. is coming on. Left coast is there if people want to shell out the bucks. So far those are the only viable locales. Anymore?

I have one sure fire interest in backing this event already from Angel Fire, New Mexico. I have been informed that the town would like to host this event. That said I'm sure that none of the aforementioned amenities would be met ie..racing, track day, dealer involvement etc.

We need some major participants here folks or this is just going to be another ride-to event. I'm fine with that but the main thrust of this thread was to get some input on all the how's, when's, where questions worked out. More than that I was mainly interested in seeing if anyone or any group would be interested in doing such an event. In order to organize a national event there needs to be some major footwork and connections made with resources organizations that can actually put such an event on the map and in the eye of the public.  From what I have gathered here is that we have about 30 people who think this would be a good idea. If anyone would like to see this come to fruition please spread the word around this possibility and see if we can get some interest in finalizing this. If not then the idea will pass on and we will not have a signature event that we can all call our own. If this is not an interest we as an owners group do not have then I thank each of  you for your input and I would hope to ride with you at some time in the future.

Post up people! Let's see what more people think. Get this link out to each of your local forums and get some action going. Time is short to organize this. Thanks again, RED.

Once a majority of people have spoken I'd like to get some responsible people together via a web meeting or  some phone calls. Let me know.

Bwuahahaha.  Responsible? New Mexico? In the same idea? I thought that's why people lived out there.  Responsibility isn't necessarily a requirement

Ok, I can see that met with some over the top enthusiasm.  [laugh]

I think at this point trying to do something other than what is already established and given that at least now what is known as the center of the National Ducatisti Universe (U. S. A. version) Ouray has it. Shall we see now how much national attention we could generate as far as getting this to a national event status or is everyone (responsible ones only  ;D) satisfied to just leave things the way they are and for me to shut my mouth and ride?  [moto]
