    The Room Rate is much higher this time around, this for some might be more then they want to spend and it's understandable. I read several complaints of recent gatherings regarding accommodations not meeting everyones standards so I selected a better facility (I hope) this time around. It is a repeat location so that may not interest others. I like all of the roads in the Franklin area and never get tired of them. Let's face it, the F6B is no longer being produced and like other motorcycle specific rallies, these gatherings become smaller every year. 30-50 is a nice size group. This will be another nice event.

    I was one of those, but may have tempered my complaints if you had gone to Cortez!

    If that spot to stay is not acceptable plenty of motels are in the area. My preference that I have stayed in many times and will this time also is the Colonial Inn South of town and not that far from the host site. All single floor rooms so your bike is right at the room door and about half the cost. Still clean but not fancy at all.

    Hey Anthony,

    It's not too expensive, especially if you share the room with someone. Makes it affordable to most everyone. Looking forward to it. I will be there. Count me in. Plus folks need to ride that new section of the foothills parkway. Fantastic ride.
    I am up that way all summer. If you need me to do anything up that way let me know.

    Thank You Russel, we will be in touch.



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    Is there any confusion (other than my own) about the state in which this event is being held?

    Thanks. I was afraid of that. Unfortunately, I have to fly to Telluride the previous week and won't have time to ride all the way to California.

    Not wanting to tell you what to do, but it might help to put up the phone number address and such for the Hampton Inn
    for everybody. That includes me to make it a little easier for the elderly.
