JJ,

I sure wish I could be there!!!

But, I will be on the road. My wife and I will drive :( to Innsbruck that weekend.

Innsbruck is almost as nice as Salzburg, and I think Salzburg is about the most beautiful city I have seen in Europe!

Have fun, ride safe, play hard.

Tom

Hi Tom -

Yes, you are indeed living the good life over there in Europe! ;-T Enjoy yourself and be very grateful! :) 8)

Well, I won't get there until Fri. Work interrupts life again :( Good news is it will be a bike trip too :) Just down to White Sands and back. Then to Cottonwood on Fri.

which route are you taking?

nighthawk · « **Reply #35 on:** April 26, 2015, 05:59:08 PM »

Looking at US 30 to 81 or 281 south to Pratt, KS day 1. Then 54/I 40 to Gallup day 2. Undecided on 89A or another more easterly route to Cottonwood. I've always been a bit destination focused and use the interstates mostly, but I'm trying to change after viewing Daniel's trips. Always open to suggestions....Stev e

Hey guys...I'm headed out from Houston to Phoenix but arriving late Sunday night and will be in the Phoenix / Flagstaff area for about 2 weeks including the weekend up at Overland Expo. Do you guys have a Phoenix Guzzi meeting / beer fest anytime in the 1st half of May? If so, would love to drop in, as I'll be trailering the Norge with me and we plan to ride over a couple of leisurely days from Scottsdale via Cottonwood and Jerome onto Sedona then Flagstaff and Grand Canyon maybe up to Antelope Canyon and Vermilion Cliffs, and then down thru some of the back roads via Mormon Lake, Payson, Globe areas. Hoping to see some other Geese on the road in town during our vacation there.

Cheers,
Paul

First Sunday of the month, we meet at the Denny's on I-17 and Bell Road (southwest corner of the intersection). 8am. Not sure if we'll move it 9 for rally guys to make it or not or if we'll try to zoom back early like last year.

PJPR01 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 26, 2015, 10:13:01 PM »

Thank you! Know the area well...I lived in Glendale from 1993 to 1995...so that is just in the old stomping grounds.

Well, looks like I'll be at the NAR after all. Good news since I haven't been to the AZ rally since 2005. I got the last small single at the View Motel. A smoking room, I suppose it'll be better than my tent. Will be arriving on Thursday coming from Colorado. Will stay in Cortez Weds night and riding in Thursday. If anyone is riding in from that area give me a shout.

We got a "Non-smoking" room at the Howard Johnsons in Flagstaff once (long story). It was not. Changed rooms, not much better. Place was a dive; we left in the morning without even using the shower. Tent would have been better. My nose can not handle smoke residue.

You may want a plan B. :)

Archangel · « **Reply #42 on:** April 27, 2015, 02:14:42 PM »

Plan B will be my tent just in case

From the friday geezer fest ... the two best stories i heard were
1. A guy rides an italian purse.
2. Another guy had "cat" hair stuck in his bumper.

These NARs are some awesome entertainment!

charlie b · « **Reply #52 on:** May 03, 2015, 07:24:01 PM »

Thanks for a good time. Looking forward to another one, especially if you guys can snag that hotel in the old part of town.

Glad I attended and hope to do it again. Thanks, Steve

Forgot to add that the Cal III was rode hard and put away wet (really, w/water). I just feel that way....still forming my tales to tell.
