1st Annual Hayabusa.org Meet-n-Greet!
- Thread starter ks-waterbug
- Start date
Oh Schnapple, dayuumm Rev from the details and photos you given, I would be willing to make a run out to the Rock (Colorado ). Deal Gap was cool too, but I've been there and done it twice. The Smokies Mt. (Deals Gap)was nice ,but to compare the two spots, there wasnt much to offer other than the 11 miles of some of the best twisty I've encountered on the streets. Which got played out quickly, going up and down the Dragon Tail . I hope we all can agree on the Rock for the hot spot for our Busa Round Up.

Rev, ya got me sold, bro... If it's in Colorado I hope I can make it. Got a bro that has family out there. He fuggin' LOVES to go out and visit. He's threatened several times to move out there. And that one mtn pic... Ahhhhhh... I'd HAVE to bring me camera fer sure!!!
Sounds like a great idea!
My preferences are Arkansas or Colorado (at least for this coming year).

If you haven't already voted go to the polls section and place your vote!
So far Colorado is leading as the meeting place!
its a tie for one or two meeting places (East, West...)

Cool deal we might acutally be able to pull this off only other thing next to consider is a time frame
Roughly Ten Days To Vote! Then we decide the time frame.....

As for the meet and greet....I think it's an awesome idea..but..it has to be fairly convenient for those on the East coast as well as those on the West coast. Free time is precious and tough to come by these days so the idea of two meeting places makes the most sense. We should probably start thinking along those lines a little more as so to involve a majoity of the members.
Once again just my.02...

Colorado is a long way from the East coast. I will probably be able to make it no matter where it is but I do think that some that would go as far as Arkansas wouldn't go to Colorado. Too bad the middle of KS or OK are so flat. That would be geographically a great location.

I am voting for Arkansas. Yes I live here but the reason I am voting here is because of the central location. For the guy that stated things about Branson, you're right, very family oriented, but we aren't talking about Branson. We are talking about Eureka Springs. There are some incredible rides here, that will challenge even the best of riders. Back to the Branson thing. There are ppl that will be bring Busas on trailers and they might bring the family. Could be a great opportunity to accomplish both things, Busa meet-n-greet, family vacation. Anyway, there is my $.02.
It may very well be that the central states are, well, centrally located but Rev has a good point in that it's always hot and quite often muggy there in the early through late summer. And who the hell wants to ride halfway across the country just to swelter in the heat and have everything you're wearing stick to you like spandex on a fat chick.
Those who've never ridden Colorado don't know what you're missing. Great roads, great people, great scenery, crisp clean air and even the troopers are decent folks. Any place else would be a waste of vacation time...

One thing to consider... Colorado has a lot of great rides; But, and this is a big one... sometimes you have to ride over a hundred or so miles to pick up something different. Having lived there for a couple of years I think its a great place. Just don't want to surprise anyone who's not use to the long sweepers and open roads... (not saying you can't find some back to back stuff)
Well the Voting is comeing along well if you haven't voted VOTE NOW
Seems the want for 0ne or two meets keeps at about an even pace
Location Colorado is in the lead by a way with Arkansas as the next place
The way it's looking I doubt i would be surprised if we end up with 2 meets one in Arkansas and the other in Colorado which would probly be alright i still think one is better so all that could come could meet each other not just part at one place and hopeing to meet other there and they end up going to the other place which i know not all can get the time but with this kinda notice? hmmm that or mabey just not that much time availble i can seee is understandable

49 VOTES suggesting a site to hold our meet/meets....
Are there only 49 people who are interested in this event? Come on folks, there is only one yesterday! This could be a great opportunity to meet some new friends and enjoy the trip of your life.... I've been to other ralleys and I must say you won't be dissappointed and with almost a year to plan this things look promising.

JUST IN CASE YOU WONDERED WHERE THE MIDDLE OF THE USA WAS....
The geographical center of the lower 48 states lies outside of Lebanon, Kansas, in the middle of a hog farm.
The geographical center of all 50 states is located 17 miles west of Castle Rock, South Dakota.
The geodetic center of the U.S. is found approximately 42 miles south of Lebanon, Kansas. (Note: A geodetic survey makes corrections to account for the curvature of the Earth.)
The article is quick to point out, however, that none of the designated "centers" are truly precise or objectively determined:
Many variables exist when calculating the center of a land mass as large as the United States, and selective criteria and methods can be used, from the selection of different map projections, to defining the periphery of the shape with varying degrees of accuracy.
In fact, scientists at the Geodetic Survey have stopped calculating "centers" due to the imprecise nature of the task. Oscar S. Adams, Senior Mathematician for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, even wrote, "Since there is no definite way to locate such a point, it would be best to ignore it entirely...."
