Thanks Shane! Wish I could've been there...
Here's a video from the 1st "Roundup In The Rockies". Forgive me, but I can't remember if I ever posted this link before:

Nice video. Makes the knic-knacs on the computer desk rattle.
I've now booked a shipper for the bike. Airfare next. (Non-refundable!)

It would be cool to make some plates that are generic? Identifying us as part of the S2 gathering group? or whatever we come up with? Just a thought. S2 collector? Ideas? Maybe even number us? and we can start keeping track of our buells and their vins. I know we have a list started. REX

Tim: According to Google maps, Birmingham to Rogers is only about 550 miles. You could just ride over for lunch, then ride back to the races!

Frank: That's what I was thinking. 2010, Lafayette, LA to Leakey, TX in time for cocktail hour, then up first thing in the AM and head back to Lafayette. In the rain. What an iron man!

Steve: Come anyway. It ain't all about the S2's.

I see my name popped up in the conversation. As not to take housing away from the S2 guys I am working on a group to stay at the Edelweiss Inn in Eureka Springs. It is pretty close and has food and drink within walking distance.

My son just bought an S1000RR that he will be itching to try out on the curves. I'll be on my 'cough, cough' VFR. Not sure who else from my group has committed (or should we all be committed?) at this time.

Mike, If I can still get a room you we can split it.
I had some personal stuff come up that may have prevented me going. We had very good news today and I'm green lighted.
Making the call to reserve a room this afternoon.
If I can't get a room, I'll be very interested in your arrangements.

I already have a reservation, but can't remember the accomodations, but I think I have a spare bunk in my room.
If so, someone is welcome to share a room with me.

Bart- I could use a spare bunk if no one else has spoken for it.

Shane, sounds like you are posturing to go!!!! That is great news.

Mike, I hope you make it as well. I look forward to seeing you again.... Is the VFR new? I thought you were on a ST1300 when we met at Homecoming?

I think Brad got rooms for us in the lodge (waiting to hear back from him). I still have the ST but bought the VFR when I was saving up to buy an 1125. Ran across a really good deal on a slightly used one and couldn't pass it up. Then just a couple months later they had the fire-sales on the 1125s.

That's right Frank. I have my '99 S3 back together and plan to sell it, then I will have the funds for the trip. Market here is super low for old Buells so I will be lucky to get a couple of grand for it. Thought about just keeping it for a parts bike but I hate to do that to a good runner. I was looking at a route that will be 5-6 thousand miles round trip so I will need plenty of gas money.
All I need is a spot on a floor, but a spare bunk would be a plus.

Yup, be very afraid. The IA/MN contingent is locked and loaded!

Hey is Spidey on board for this trip?

Excellent! Do you snore?

Where does your S2 stand--did you get your DMV issue sorted out? Mine is awaiting a couple more coats of clear, then I'm ready to rock.

Got my reservation card too. If my family is not coming, I'll probably have some extra room. I'll keep y'all posted. Also, if Kosmic Carl can't come (work, maybe), should I bring some of his deadly margaritas?
