Without having to read a bunch of posts in reverse, Dusty, have you published an address where rally payment can be sent?  I'm assuming you have by now, but I've probably missed it.

There was a guy last year at the Datil, New Mexico Guzzi Rally that had a drone and took a video of the campsite / rally.  It was pretty cool! :cool: :thumb:

Cedar Vale, Kansas:


 As is obvious from this picture , the village of Cedar Vale will benefit from our presence :laugh: Luap and I were discussing the bike show , what we would really like to see is both sides of the street lined with Italian thoroughbreds . Come on folks , we can make this a great event , one for the ages . Years from now there will be sonnets written about the 2017 Knotanational  :thumb: :grin:

 I have been asked recently about on site camping , trust me , the park will hold all of us and more .

Dusty--Urgent Development!

I was on the verge of posting the design for the Cedar Vale T-shirts when I got an alarming phone call from an unnamed source on my red phone.

Per my reliable but unnamed source, your rally site at Cedar Vale was . . . and maybe still is . . . the home of the Progressive Communist Community, a utopian society of, well, communists!!!  This group included the Russian Revolutionary Nikolai Tchaikovsky, well known to history for his role in the 1917 Russian Revolution.    This Cedar Vale communist community apparently practiced nudism and even vegetarianism, the details of which I shall spare the reader.

Frankly, I am concerned that my T-shirt design may be "hacked" by the Russkies.   Perhaps even the rally itself will be hacked.

Is my information about Cedar Vale correct?

Can you provide assurance as to rally security?

OK guys this is the way wild rumors get started.  Now the forum will be monitored by MGNOC, the AMA and GRIT, not to mention MI5 and 6,  the KGB, FBI and the OSS.  This rumor mill must stop!

In my early years of teaching, my students knew I rode, and had a dog named Bandito.  Neighbor kids knew I was President of the neighborhood association.  Next thing I know I'm in the Principal's office because some parent was concerned that I was President of the Banditos MC Club.

Loose lips sink ships!

The Communist Party is illegal in Kansas. You can rest assured that any nefarious activity on the part of Russian interlopers will be dealt with swiftly and decisively by local law enforcement.

Kansas Statues Annotated

Article 1. - GENERAL PROVISIONS

25-117. Same; affidavit of newly organized party; filing. No newly organized political party shall be recognized or qualified to participate or permitted to have the names of its candidates printed on the ballot in any election in this state until it has filed an affidavit, by the officers of the party in the state, under oath that:

(a) It is not directly or indirectly affiliated by any means whatsoever with the Communist party of the United States, the Communist international,
or any other foreign agency, political party, organization or government; or

(b) that it does not either directly or indirectly advocate, teach, justify, aid or abet the overthrow by force or violence, or by any unlawful means, of the government of the United States or this state; or

(c) it does not directly or indirectly carry on, advocate, teach, justify, aid or abet a program of sabotage, force and violence, sedition or treason against the government of the United States or this state.

The affidavit herein provided for shall be filed with the secretary of state and he shall make such investigation as he may deem necessary to determine the character and nature of the political doctrines of such proposed new party, and if he finds that such proposed new party advocates doctrines or has affiliations which are in violation of the provisions of this act, he shall not permit such party to participate in the election.
 
Then again, when I was watching Predator I didn't think two members of its cast would become governors, either. So you never know.

To the best of my knowledge the Pastafarians aren't particularly seditious, or allied with a foreign government, so as long as you can convince the election officials that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a non-violent supernatural entity, you should be good to go.

 OK , back to the serious part of this . Has everyone read and understood the contact info thread in the stickies ? We really need a good count based on deposits so we know how many are coming . The city, Luap , Mrs. Luap , and several others have gone all in , don't believe it unfair that we should reciprocate .
