Keep the figures coming... Who really is driving the farthest distance? Ks has a little something for The person who travels the farthest distance to be at the Meet-N-Greet! I promise it will be something that not just anyone can get.......
Your 1 stop post for all the info...
- Thread starter ks-waterbug
- Start date
Total Est. Time: 22 hours, 52 minutes Total Est. Distance: 1448.29 milesI dunno if the Canadians are driving the longest distance.....
A basic guestimate from Mapquest says
Total Est. Time: 28 hours, 13 minutes Total Est. Distance: 1766.71 miles. Actual route will bring the trip to 2000+/- miles and 2 days.
im not sure of the exact ending point, but that gives me an estimate of what im up against.
So yah zukracer
yah blkblu im leaving on Wednesday too, that should give me time in case i run into trouble on the way!! Looking forward to meeting u there!! i think we are the only canucks going. Maybe we are the only 2 people that arent American??I'm thinking on leaving Wednsday, getting there Friday. I figure 2-3 days. Plan on a bit of site seeing, Yogi Bear and Yellowstone park.What about you chev982?
I could be one of the farthest ones coming.
It will be a little over 2200 miles for me.
Need riding buddies( out and back),a place or two to crash along the way, and someone to split a room with me.
But even if I don't figure anything out I will just show up anyways.

ok, called and talked to a lady at RPM. She is going to give me a call when tickets are available but whom ever was working with the organizers for the booth/tent/whatever for the group (I think I recall reading that) might wanna just call and talk to them about tickets. She mentioned a group rate for groups over 10 people so thats a nice bonus
btw, the email address on the site is bad because the guy that used to work with them left the group....so they are gonna fix that soon too

checking the map here ..... if I stick to the route of heading to Conway AR to see some friends for a night on the way and then into Copper, I'll be right at 2000+- miles for the one way trip. The return trip is looking to be a little longer at ~2500miles
Roundtrip = ~4500miles
thank god I got the 72k mile warranty on the truck

Hey chev, I'm all for riding.... I just like to travel smarter
save my butt a little pain by sitting in the leather captains chair instead of the saddle. I actually am toying with renting a truck to tow my bike with instead of putting that many miles on my truck.
Anyone ever rented a vehicle and driven it xcountry? I'm not gonna do some jackass the movie crazy demo derby with it
just put a ton o miles on it
KS, The lady I talked to said that it was her and one dude working that end of it. She was really nice so if you call up there I'm sure she'll get you all the info. They definately aren't selling tickets yet so no big rush, though you might get some killer deals for us .... shoot for paddock & the "bigdog" pass and maybe a tour for one low low lwo price
Thanks again for all the work you are doing, if you need any help just let me know.

bass boss, welcome to the Meet-N-Greet posting! Hope you can make it to this event. Him, looks like things might work out for you after all..... Try checking the list for the folks camping and see whos got room. I bet just about everyone does at this point. It's my understanding that the campgrounds have shower facilities, I could be wrong....... Ks
hey HIM
thought u and i were meeting at your place and then riding down?
I'm probably sleepin in the truck thursday night, but have reservations at the resort friday night-sunday morning. All depends on when I get to Copper..... ya know the 2000mile drive, there's gonna be some variation that will no doubt impact my arrival time
