Author Message   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 - 09:32 pm:        Dana / Steve / Rocco, Is there a suitable camp ground and motel that are close to each other? for those who may want to rent a room and not have a long late ride, to a motel after festivities,   Cyclonedon Posted on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 - 09:39 pm:        I really enjoyed the quality of the Sheraton Brookfield at the 25th; however, my wallet really enjoys the Knight's Inn in Racine. OK Crust, Who's making the decisions here? You or your wallet? lol   Steve_mackay Posted on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 - 10:19 pm:        Here's a few of the area hotels under $75 a night(2 adults) Hotel Name Per Day Price Address Phone Number Super 8 Waukesha $55 2510 Plaza Court Waukesha, WI 53186 (262) 786-6015 La Quinta Inn Milwaukee West/Brookfield $75 20391 W Bluemound Rd Brookfield, WI 53045-5961 (262) 782-9100 Motel 6 Brookfield $45 20300 W Bluemound Rd, Brookfield 53045 (262) 786-7337 Super 8 Delavan $63 518 Borg Rd Delavan, WI 53115 (262) 728-1700 Sky Lodge Inn And Suites $72 5560 Highway 50 Delavan, WI 53115-4209 (262) 728-9399 Microtel Inn & Suites $48 5419 Durand Ave, Racine (800) 771-7171 Racine knights inn $43 1149 Oakes Rd Racine, WI 53406-3870 (262) 886-6667   Steve_mackay Posted on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 - 10:20 pm:        Oldog, not REALLY.

I was looking into the Geneva Grand Resort in Lake Geneva, (formally the Playboy club) and the nightly rate is $229.00. It does have three championship golf courses on it but it's kinda hard to carry your golf clubs when traveling on a motorcycle!   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 05:41 pm:        For those of you looking into camping. This is a link to several in the neck of the woods. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&rlz=1T4TSHB_enUS 271US272&resnum=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=waterford+wiscon sin+campgrounds&fb=1&gl=us&hq=campgrounds&hnear=wa terford+wisconsin&view=text&ei=SQLySvaQL4bnlAeR4OS 9Aw&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=more-results&resnum=1&v ed=0CCAQtQMwAA   Rocketsprink Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 06:12 pm:        I think we should try really hard to get a deal worked out with a Hotel IN East Troy. I'm sure they could use the money the town will be losing in taxes with the Factory closing down. Alpine Valley IS located in East Troy. I'll look into whether or not they're willing to deal   Bud Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 06:34 pm:        we stayed with the 25e ani at the country in, booked because it was at walking distance from the factory. but little that i know, America is not made for walking people, and to get a beer we needed to go to East troy and that was a very long walk. for sleeping it is ok, but expensive   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 06:53 pm:        Thats just it Rocco. I don't think East Troy can handle as a whole everyone.... or can they??? We also have to take account on the rates. Can they meet most of are out of towners needs.... meaning semi cheap??? Lots of time to work with. Hammering out a date is probably the first thing to do. Giving these guys options next after we do are own homework.   Rocketsprink Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 07:01 pm:        their rates are not too bad to start with compared to some hotels in the area. I just think keeping it IN East Troy would be cool. Sorry, but I don't want to be riding to Milwaukee or the surrounding areas. But then again, it depends on the rates.   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 07:08 pm:        We'll get figured out. It all come together... it always does. Best thing is for us to get in the same room with our own ideas. Then figure out whats best. Thats why I figured you and I would head up to Steves meeting and get some things pounded out. Then we can come back here and lay it out.   Larryjohn Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 08:00 pm:        I kind of like the camping idea, but that Alpine Valley does not look too bad either. Not sure what there summer rates are, but their current rates are not too bad. http://www.alpinevalleyresort.com/room_rates.php   Lemonchili_x1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 08:18 pm:        Haven't done the survey yet, but will do soon... Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but what is the Kettle Moraine Adventure Ride?   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 08:21 pm:        but what is the Kettle Moraine Adventure Ride? The Kettle is one of our state forests. It has to offer some of the best riding in the State. Also pretty scenic.   Loose1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 08:21 pm:        I will be camping as I have done the last three home comings. I have stayed at the country view campground the last two years and will stay there again. There was about eight of us that stayed there this year. Matt http://www.countryviewcamp.com/   The_hammer Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 08:36 pm:        There is also camping available in the "Kettle Moraine State Forest". Along with the good riding. Just North of Eagle off of Hwy 67. About 20 minutes from the factory. I didn't know there was an "Adventure Ride". I have lived in the area for years. But the long way home on my 12SS is good fun. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific /kms/camping.html   Lemonchili_x1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 09:57 pm:        Thanks. Survey done   Steve_mackay Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 10:06 pm:        Here's a couple of rides we can do during Homecoming. http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.com/rideplanner /share/101406 http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.com/rideplanner /share/101760   Xl1200r Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 10:26 pm:        Roads all look so straight, lol.   Steve_mackay Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 10:34 pm:        Trust me, they aren't.   M2statz Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 10:47 pm:        I have stated more than once that I would follow Mr. Mackay anytime anywhere. That dude knows the twisties!!   M2me Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 10:58 pm:        I have stayed at the country view campground the last two years and will stay there again. There was about eight of us that stayed there this year. That looks like a nice place. Do you tent or RV? I've got a tent and would be interested in camping at country view.   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 11:04 pm:        Hey John long time. This event should be right up there with the 20th. Can we get you to do some posters again???   M2me Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - 11:23 pm:        Dana, Yeah, it's shaping up to be just like the 20th! Grassroots all the way! I'd be willing to do posters again but I thought somebody else already offered to do posters, etc. It doesn't matter to me either way. If somebody else wants to step up and do posters, that's fine. We don't want to just copy the 20th. The 20th was a classic that can't be copied. 2010 could be another classic though!   Daves Posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 08:58 am:        Posters would be cool again. I have mine from the 20th framed.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 09:10 am:        M2me wouldn't be stepping on my toes if he'd like to do it. Besides that, he's already got 1 classice poster by the sounds of it. I'd like to see him do another.   Steve_mackay Posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 09:39 am:        Got any pics of the 20th poster?   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009 - 12:44 pm:        Here ya go Steve. John did this one for us during the 20th. He did a awesome job. Mine is framed and stored for good keeping.
