I'm requesting that week off next year! I am finally going to try and and make it. Hmm, I think I'll take two weeks off and make it a family vacation for Disneyland and say "Hey honey, you know there's a really good get together just up the road from us"...haha. I'm there
Thinking this would be a good time to pick up a ring mount? More green radios and all the gear I can shove in my.....hmm, need to plan this portion out more.

I've never been to this event. I'm planning on going but I'm not sure if I'm going to camp out or hotel it. My hope is to be up there Friday and Saturday and head home on Sunday. Any veterans of this event have some suggestions on making the most of the trip? Where to park my MV for display etc.?

I've got one of those small cabins reserved. I'll be there Thursday night leaving Sunday morning.

I plan on bringing down some stuff to sell/trade including 10 new 11.00X20 NDTs, a robo impact, a NOS green canvas cargo cover and end curtains for an M35, several antennas and bases...and the list goes on and on.

Hey Jason,
Well, If I remember correctly, it was about 10 hours +/- in the Deuce. Maybe a little less. That is with about two stops.

Convoy!!!??? Take the Deuce !!!???

(p.s.) I still have your Chino Airshow DVD.

 

[Gottlos]

My anniversary is on the 18th. So the earliest I can head out would be on the 19th. If I bring
"Tag Along" I'm going to load up some Hardigg cases to try and sell off.

Hey Jim, What day do you and John head home?

bigmike are you bringing your 741? We could park it and my 640 next to each other by the Pavilion for a while. A little Military Indian Recognition Display. Would be nice to find an 841 too.

We are going for our third year, no MV's this time.

I will as long as I can secure it VERY WELL. I would freak out if anything happened to the bike. I will certainly bring it as long as I can secure it properly.
