The plan is to stop in and say hello, schedule as of now says we'll be in Murphy that wkd
Ok roll call, who will be at the rally in Franklin Nc?
:039:
I thought about it but due to the lack of response from everyone to include Phantom, I'm backing out. I just remember how great the past ones were and the enthusiasm just does not seem to be there this year.
That's too bad. I have been through hell dnd back, St hoping to meet up t Ruth old friends. It is has been spell since I've been here, suffice it to say I have lot to catch up on. No longer produced? Yikes
I will be in Franklin on Aug 28th through the weekend... I am staying in the Comfort Inn. Hope you guys have a great time!!!
I would love to ride up and meet some of you guys. I’d be 100% in if I didn’t have a broken leg and ankle.
Aug 28 through Sept 1 sounds great ! That would be just old times ! Just like when Rune riders then F6B riders gathered in the Smokies for good friendship and good times ! And a lot of B.S. passed around .
My issue is that Tony never did a roll call. How do we know that folks are actually going to show up. That's why I decided not to go - just hope that everyone that does has a great time!
Yea that’s why I asked. It doesn’t seem like there are many planning on attending. I really enjoyed last year but lookes like this year is a bust.Quote:

Those that want to ride, just meet a the location and go from there. Yes, this is still scheduled to take place. At this moment, it will be just a simple gathering of friends.
It will not be like years past. I am planning to be there to enjoy the rides and company.
I'm enjoying life, I have already taken 8 weeks of vacation this year (all at the last minute). My schedule is fluid and changes on the spur of the moment, I'm living for today not tomorrow, not making concrete plans anymore. This event is on my agenda however my Lady just informed me that she wants to go on a last minute cruise. She's searching for last minute deals.
I haven't been on here much because I have been riding, proud to say that my chicken strips are less than 1/4 inch :icon_lol:
Pics or it never happened!!!! Lol.Quote:

I’m in the area, will be here until at least Friday. I’ve ridden almost 3k miles this week and haven’t seen another f6. Heck, I’ve only seen maybe a dozen Honda’s total. SW Iowa to Myrtle Beach and back to Cherokee, Murphy, etc. I plan on going through franklin tomorrow and hope to see/meet some of you. Speak up here if you’re going to be in the area
Well, unfortunately, last week my Goldwing ended up in the shop.
New right handlebar cluster replaced, the Big Girl is home now, just not in time for my trip up to Franklin.
Enjoy the roads, be careful, don't try to outride your limitations .... you have nothing to prove to anyone, ride safe!
Anyone in Franklin that can post pics of what we're missing?????

Is it still a rally if only one bike shows up? :)
This whole thread is weird.Quote:

My electrical issues earlier in the year also prevented me from attending Daytona and a ride with friends down to Key West.
People throughout the year did not show interest for a gathering without a tent, food, organized rides, evening events and the works.
My bike is fine now and I am still planning on going up and will ride with my bride.
However I will coordinate a Full MONTY Rally for 2020, its going to take the help of 3-4 volunteers.
In the past it was the vendors that paid for all of the expenses, are people willing to contribute/donate towards a Full size tent with sides in case it rains, tables, chairs, beverages and snacks for the whole 3 days?
We can implement a "Cash Kitty" where everyone that attends puts $100 into it to cover all expenses. I'm willing to put $500 into it as seed money, what say you?
I can reproduce shirts based on pre-orders with the Simple and very popular design, the one with the F6B in wispy lines.
Asheville North Carolina is the Home Base, Exit 40 off I-26 --->Airport Road
September 3, 4 and 5th 2020
Hotel to be determined, plenty to chose from. The Clarion is my first choice. It has a large grass area for a tent on the West side and plenty of parking for pick-up trucks with trailers.

ALL of the major Restaurants are right around us.
Sooooooooooo, was I the only person that showed up? Or was anyone else there?
seven twenty, please accept my apologies.
The lack of interest from members and my mistake of assuming that people would still show up without any expectations of previous Rallies on a non-holiday weekend was a mistake on my part. The issues with my Goldwing were a last minute surprise. I take full responsibility and will re-focus my efforts to LEAD and coordinate another great F6B rally. Daytona Beach FL, October 17th through the 20th is another possible meeting place later this year. I noticed on the last Daytona Gathering posted by others only one or two showed up for that. Yes, the F6B crowd is shrinking and since the F6B is no longer produced, sadly these gatherings will become smaller even with someone leading the way.
No apologies needed, things happen. I was just curious if I missed anyone. There were a few that posted earlier they were going then in the last couple of weeks the thread went dead. I still had a great time and leaving early saved riding in some weather it looks like. :cheers:
I'll look fwd to next yr
