The GS Giant's Adventure Summit - July 15-22, 2012 in AR and MO

The BS Point race is on. Mike Jones, owner, at Engle Motors BWM signed my scorecard.



I asked him not to sign any other scorecards. He only laughed.

If you are in KC and need any type of service stop by. They are a GREAT dealer.

Tell Mike I recommended them to you. I'm sure you will get something.

My usual group is mixed men and women and we all like challenging terrain and getting through stuff, but we (women) tend to process in a different way. It's good to share that, and to have the confidence to just get out there and do it!

Dawn, as long as you and I are back by noonish, we should be good to go for the competition. I've got everything as organized as I can be and all we need to do is have a pre-meeting with the track judges and test radios. It's going to be much smoother than last year.

I'll review it all with you on Thursday.

Hey, if y'all expect to score bonus BS points for posting here, I need to know who you are. Please PM me with your user name and real name.

Don't make me guess!

I still have not recieved any confirmation on my MOA Rally tickets. I signed up online for the whole enchalada. I am planning on leaving home Friday. Is my name on a list in Sedalia or are they going to hit me for $40 more dollars at the gate?

So, Ulster left home this morning for the scenic route to Oark, leaving me and my bike behind at home to get to Sedalia next week. Then I get this Stop-In pic...

Luckily not, I'd hate to ruin those near 100 degree days :)

Packed and on the road first thing in the morning....


Should I swing up to Hyner View before, I sweep down Williams River?????


Gotta stop at Rella's for pie choices choices choices

Sounds like some great riding getting to Oark! I might try to ride around and get some BS points today between NY and CT, feels like I haven't been on the bike in ages...I can pack tomorrow.

Later on today:
A couple of really cool check in's. Anyone visiting the Hudson Valley of New York should plan a trip to Motorcyclepedia. Check out the Arlan Ness crazy bike. Then I got to Max BMW in CT, and Teach McNeil was doing shows. Incredible stuff. 800GS with hard cases kissing the ground on all sides. Then some other non-GS stuff.

our Ozark map was slightly delayed at printing, so Ian does not have any for rally prizes. i sent him an email to create 2 rain-check coupons that can go out as prizes and be ten redeemed at out booth in Sedalia, but i haven't heard back from him. if any reads this and sees him please pass this along.
thnx bill

I'm officially on my way, I left New Orleans this afternoon,


an early start was not possible as I'd been out with french friends downtown the previous evening celebrating Bastille Day, it started with fireworks over the Mississippi and ended in the early hours at a gay bar someplace near the french quarter (sorry no photos allowed of that part of the evening's proceedings!) New Orleans certainly knows how to party.
I'm sat in my "office" at Burger King in Delhi, and I'm hoping it's Delhi, Louisiana not India otherwise I may be off track a bit. And I'm belatedly reading through my scorebook stuff- I think I need to get some of it translated...

- 40 points for visiting all MO FO corners. You must visit all

four corners for any points to count

MO FO sounds like some sort of swearing competition, I don't think there's much danger of me picking up the points for that one.

the sun was shining as I left town, but not for long

as I crossed back over the Mississippi, the view of the river kind of looked like this




then it got worse, so I pulled over at a handy picnic spot

[Tiffany]

I've made it here and what a great event, GSers in all directions, though I do believe there is an orange bike in the crowd somewhere
There's a creek next to the camping area with an excellent swimming hole, lots of shady trees to camp under and plenty of cold beer on tap.
Meeting lots of new people and catching up with a few old friends as well.

lots of forest trails to ride on

[AnyDay]

Getting closer! Bike and I stopped to see the Gateway Arch this evening. I can't believe we just rode through here in Sep, it seems like years ago.
