Yes, Most probably. How large of an organization would you consider viable? How frequent would you have meetings? Where (fixed/ roving location) and when ( at $4+/gal I can ride, but can't drive, except in snow).
Just a few quick questions for us/you to think about. I know where you live (bought that '96 from you last year), and always wanted a "local" chapter to keep me active.

With the larger area we will have to work these things out, but actual meetings will probably be 1 or 2 times a year possibly 1 at the rally and the other in different locations, most contact will be by email or user group.
Nothing is set in stone at this time and I am open for ideas

Hey Kevin , been wondering what was going on...Beginning of April would be better for us. Got the bike down for rubber/rotors/ u-joint and service right now. Been bartering machining jobs and making trinkets to fund the cost's. What do you need.. OH never mind your a machinist,mechanic, and a painter.... :oh: dag nabbit. Ah but we got the water jet. No passivation required on my stainless jobs. :gig: I know you want some vent covers.....
Marie is not working at this point in time so we are free and would like to meet up with you and Holly before the Rally. Let us know , Gene and Marie Kap.

Kevin,
I just checked with the wife and every one of those dates is good with us. Obviously since I live about 2.5 hours I can do any one of them. I do think that Sat/Sun dates may work best for most. John (Lockwood John) had stated at one time Sundays worked best for him but I don't know if that still holds true or has changed.
I'll start checking into Hotel/Motels and if I find any decent bargains I'll post a note!
Anyway, all dates listed are good for us.

Thanks

I mapquested that ride and it would be 5-6 hour ride,something I would rather do sometime later in the year,when I can find one of our slow weeks.That way I could put in for vacation time and see some of the sights over your way.I am prioritizing the rally in Ashville,but would like to head your way some other time.In most years of harvest, we get a slow week in late May ,and two slow weeks each in June and July.
