My bad, Mrs Lonesome is planning on her "Boiler maker tailgate chili" and Mrs Wacked was going to do the fixings for the chili.  We were planning on Friday night.

AND, Mrs Lonesome wants to say if you all would rather NOT have chili, her feelings will not be hurt in anyway. 

N Dave, PM me your phone number, Robmicgrn and I are going to be in Bismarck tomorrow night.  We were thinking about supper?

[Lonesome Dave]

If I'm bringing food, I'd better sign up!
I checked w/F&F about firewood.  They said it would be okay for me to bring a pile of wood for the camp fire.

Thats the first time I've been called BS'er. Oh no.... not the first.....

I guess I'll address the corporate sponsor/involvement thing as there was much discussion about such things earlier this year.

We are such a loose affiliation of riders, that no one person is the organizer. We have no officers, or board, we are all members of a group of like minded (for the most part) people who get together to some riding. Because of this loose affiliation, no one has any expectation of what the event is or should be. It is, what it is. If we start to bring "sponsors" in then there is an expectation of what the event is or should be. We have never told another organization that they can't come and give stuff, or show their stuff off, as Doug from Farklebar does, but no one is really invited to do so for those reasons stated.

I will second that opinion.   If Rice / Whoever wants to show up and show off their stuff, and/or feed us hotdogs, that's just fine, but we don't want any kind of official sponsorship.       We're just some friends that get together, shoot the shit, ride motorsickles, and drink some suds around the campfire.

Bingo!
That is what I think is so great and unique about the ddsr rallies!

I'm awfully bummed that I won't be able to make it this year. 
I had to go back and count. 
It will be the first time I'll miss the June Rally in 5 years.  
The first time was when a trip to Yellowstone, Teton, and Colorado turned for the worse.  On the way back from Wyoming I called a buddy in the cities to look it up online to find the details, as I had seen a post about it on ADV.  He pointed me in the right direction but I had to search "the Hills" for the Fish and Fry.  After some time, I found it, set up camp, and waited for folks to come back from, what I think, was their Friday ride.  I remember being coaxed into the really nasty parts of Pilot Knob on my KLR.  I don't think anyone rode a bike smaller than 650cc's in DDSR at the time.
I've been coming back every year since.
All first timers are guaranteed a good time and every veteran does their best to make sure they do.
Have fun all!!!
I need to stop watching the sign up thread so I don't know what I'm missing.

[greatbuffalo]

Sorry to hear you won't make it Os. I think you were the first guy I met on my first rally. I got talked into some gnarly stuff that first day on my Tiger.

[ryani]

Finally got it confirmed.  I will be able to make it.  Should show up late Thursday afternoon.  Fingers crossed that the weather is favorable.

Can't wait to get some trail miles in.

I made a RV reservation, so I think I will be riding. Doesn't sound  like son David is coming.
I need to fix the fall rally's damaged tail light or buy a new roll of duck tape. Hope the bike still runs?  I'm looking forward to riding again. Hope to see ya all soon...

What the heck happened? 60 riders last June and only 20 this year??

Did someone post the info on ADVRider? Did you do it last year Hank? Were you guys too rough on the boys last year?? 

[Hank]

I did post it on ADV but I haven't babysat it much.   Maybe someone should go bump it?
