Hoping I can make it but a bit hesitant due to Florida trip we're taking next month. Don't really want to dip into savings if possible. My lady keeps telling me to register and if it turns out I/we can't make it then bow out. I did get some wide-eyed looks when I asked if she's up to riding nearly 1,000 miles one-way. "You mean on the trike?" "Yes dear...the trike!" "Oh!"

I didn't tell her at first that if she goes with me I'll trailer the trike. She gave a sigh of relief, then said she didn't think she had enough padding to handle that distance on the trike. I said nothing... :-X

I know you want to leave at least $6 figures to each of your children, but surely they won't miss a trip to Roanoke! I may have to get a job as a door greeter to pay for my trip plans this year, I hear they are pretty flexible with scheduling!

I inquired earlier as to charity chosen for this IZ and did not get suitable answer.  Can that info be released or are you keeping it secret for the big reveal in Roanoke?

It must be some setting on your computer.  We haven't had anyone else report that issue.

OK, I'm assuming I screwed up. My receipt printed but there's no hotel info at the top. The receipt has an order number so I'm guessing the registration portion is complete.

We received your registration.  You should have received an email receipt.

Ok...my mistake. I printed out the receipt from the registration site, not the email. I see the email receipt does have the hotel info. Thanks for your patience.  ;)

PS: This morning I tried calling for room reservations and got someone apparently from India that I couldn't understand and didn't shut up long enough for me to speak. After trying to interrupt a few times to give such things as the rally info, discount code, etc., I gave up and just hung up. Guess I'll wait until evening and try again.

PPS: Got it done. Considered separate rooms but we agreed things will likely be different by then.  ;)

Don't really want to wait that long. I'll mention it but have my doubts, she'd probably want it during the  pie auction and I'd be outbid.  ;D

I tried offering rally shirts last year or the year before.  It was a giant bust.  But, I have had a number of requests for this one.  Send me a PM, I'll see what I can do.

Curious about the "Schedule of Events" and if Daniel will be conducting his classes?

Thought I'd ask if Daniel would consider having a class on rebuilding the turn signal switch and starter switch on our fat girls.    With the age of our ladies, those switches are in need of some attention on most of our bikes or should I say, most of my bikes.   :coolsmiley:

I'd also like to request a repeat of the class on changing over to LEDs and other lighting options that have been offered in the past.   Hey, similar to Christmas, if you don't tell Santa what you'd like, you might end up with more underwear (again).  ;)
