It's been pretty quiet over here in the South East section,
with only six days until our RTE at River Ranch
I'd surely like to hear from a few more riders that want to attend,
We've got the weather, you've got the bikes,
:) let's hear from ya. :)

Hans, Cathy & I are confirming Saturday January 13th at the Westgate River Ranch Resort around noon this weekend. Please pm me your cell phone #.
We can not make the Jan. 27 ride.

Hey Hans, you know that's not true. ;) This thread (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17814) in the SouthEast forum has recieved lots of traffic. You mean, your thread just hasn't had much traffic. :D

[SilverBuffalo]

You just have to "rub it in" don't ya :rolleyes:
Maybe you could give me some pointers in the fine art of organizing RTE's :)
you seem to be a lot better at it than I am. :confused:
Or maybe it's got something to do with it being the weekend of the winter rally

Hey Hans,
I'm still planning on getting there. Maybe the wife too, depending on the weather. Hope it cools off a little by then.

[alindsay]

Hans,

Has anyone called to make reservations for our group? Saturday the 13th is the Space Coast BMW Riders mid month ride and I suspect that they will also come down to River Ranch. Curt and I have signed up in a previous post and I suspect we will have 4 to 6 more that may come. Anyway, Curt and I will definitely be there.

I took a ride over a couple of weeks ago and met with Dawn
and I'll follow up with a confirmation call later this week

I have sent an E-mail to Debbie Jorgensen to see if we can co-ordinate this

That's good news, sounds like we'll have at least a dozen attending
Thanks Alex, you just made my day :)

[Kodi]

Hey, I`m new at this. Did anyone get my reply.

[SilverBuffalo]

Hey, I`m new at this. Did anyone get my reply.
Glad to see you found your way over "here"
Now if you can find your way to the River Ranch,
we'll all get to meet you on Saturday.
Meanwhile maybe you could fill in a couple of blanks in your profile,
just to let us know who you are. :)

[SmokinJoe]

Hey, I`m new at this. Did anyone get my reply.

Hey Marc, (or David :confused: ) we got something in common, I used to race em' when I was a teen and even won a 50 mile event, while placing in others!
be looking for you this weekend!

[Kodi]

You were right with both names,but generally people call me by my middle name,(Marc). I`m looking forward to this Sat. also. It will be nice to meet some new like minded people,and to see how you`ve got your bikes set up.
About all my friends ride Harley`s, and now they`re giving me the impression that I`ve committed some mortal sin. Also like I said, it`s my wife`s birthday, It`ll be nice to take her to lunch.

Hans--

Looks like I'm in for Saturday...90% sure I can make it, will firm up the schedule today. Sam Nasca was also thinking about it, but he'll have to firm that up for himself.

[DaveDragon]

Hi Hans, I plan on being there but need a waypoint if possible.

My Brother James will be down here on his GoldWing Friday, so I'll drag him along as well.

Sorry, I found the Lat/Lon 27 48 299 - 081 13 183

[alindsay]

Hans,

The 4 - 6 additional riders I mentioned will be from the Space Coast club as are Curt and I. We sent out an email notice to the club last week about the ride but we generally don't know how many will be on a ride till they show up at the meeting place.

I will talk with Debbie at our meeting this Wednesday about any arrangements for the lunch.

See you there.

[neodoc]

Looks like I'll be there as well, and I might bring a couple of friends. One is a GW rider, but be nice to her...she didn't know what she was doing :). The other is the owner of BMW Motorcycles of Miami. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

[Zeke]

When you get to the main gate you'll probably be asked to sign in
(it's just a formality) they're pretty laid back
then it's probably another 2 miles to the restaurant,

If you want to make any kind of preperations, just work on your "stories" :)
I know mine get "better" everytime I tell them :D
