    All I ask...

    Hi,

    I piped in earlier and it sounds like things have gotten somewhat defensive.

    All I am asking is that once every few years the rally be in a location that considers that fact that there are B's on the west coast. Didn't mean to ruin anyones party. Don't want 2 events. Time to be fair and share your toys with all the kids.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    Eff that. Rains too much up there.

    I will come to Colorado... from the east coast. I think Colorado is very centric and a good spot. Hope that those out west will show up for it; once they tentatively commit.

    If there's not a big gathering from our western half of the US indigenous F6B'ers... then the past discussion of keeping it east/southeast seems warranted.

    Light 'em if you got 'em

    Uh Oh... that almost sounds like you're throwing down the glove to the West Side Boyz...

    I did. And we expect attendance if the gathering is ultimately deemed in that neck of the woods.

    I'll most certainly be there. Will the rest of you?

    Boys, I'm going to give one last pitch for Cody, Wy and the Beartooth Mountains. You have to check it out on YouTube and the web. It is touted as the most beautiful road in America. We did it 5 years ago and we can't wait to do it again. I bet we saw a thousand bikes that day. If we don't have the rally here you have to check this area out sometime. Definitely a bucket list item for a motorcyclist!

    i did the bear tooth last year - i actually had tears in my eyes - i could not believe the beauty there. i was so humbled and overwhellmed - climbed approx 12,000 feet - was 95 at the bottom and when we got to the top it was 52 degrees . . . . beautiful area to ride. so much to see and close to many other places if you wanted to continue your vacation after the rally if it is there. my 2 cents worth!!

    No offence to our right coast brethren, however we in the PNW prefer to spread out our rain vs having it delivered all at once...

    I would seriously consider Kentucky for the same reasons others have stated. Colorado works better for me though, either way the goal is to get together and actually meet the people here and enjoy some good rides and good company.

    I could prepare some great rides and locations to eat. If the Rally were to come here. But alas, we'll have to see where it goes.
