    After receiving the long distance award I seriously thought having Tony giving it to an F6B rider that had rode the longest ride.

    If you attend our next years West Coast Rune Rally I will give it to you.

    Are you attending Street Vibrations ? Maybe we can hook up somewhere in Reno, Meeting in Virginia City would be impossible.

    Just of giggles.... in the past, this award was given to the person who rode the farthest to the rally...that is to say the farthest from one point, ( home ) to the rally, not the person taking a tour of the USA and then coming to the rally....just saying

    example...you fly in from the UK and rent a bike to come to the rally... YOU WIN!!!

    I think either Wifey and I or maybe Hoglaw + Ms. Hoglaw trailered the farthest,,,

    Didn't get an award,,,

    No doubt in my mind Wifey was the undisputed 'Snail of the Dragon',,,

    Didn't get an award,,,

    I guess some of us TEXANS must have a more 'laid back' approach!

    I won a prize for being the oldest. You earned the trailer distance award.

    Using Google maps it is 2524 miles from San Jose to Franklin and 2411 miles from Sparks NV where exbmwrider lives. Those are direct routs.

    So that is why I think he should have the award. And me not owning a F6B.

    I was not stirring the pot here... In the rush of the evening the "miles" where all that were heard!!! I went to Mapquest and put in each of your home towns to Franklin,NC. 1CoolMC, 2528...exbmwrider= 2455.......1Cool MC wins by 73 miles.....
    We had the same issue at the Rune Rally as well.... serpentine routes don't count! PS- trailering does not count!

    For some that are not aware this is a Twinn Rally, for two boards that we have...One for the Runes, there were 4 and Rune prizes and one for the F6B which were 38 and far more prizes. What we are striving for is one BIG happy family. It is our desire that EVERYONE get along and enjoy themselves showing RESPECT for each other and WHATEVER type of bike they ride. We DO NOT segregate by ANY means!!! There were 5-6 Harley's as well...

    Huh??? I didn't see or hear him there,,,, Is there more than one now??? DAYUM!!!

    Twinn rally?!?!

    I didn't see 'Rune' on the banner we all signed!

    Nah,,, Seriously,,, the Runes are sweet machines and 'the more the merrier!!'

    Curious,,, if this is a 'twinn' rally,,, should/could we advertise it as such?? Or, at the very least, greet our Rune riders who are 'in the know' with a special handshake or something?
