Well Darby would make #8. Nikdog, Walt, Lou - do we have a solid plan? I'd bet there will be 1 or 2 more that will come to their senses before then and want to come along.
WooHoo - I can't wait.
Darby - this is something you will NOT regret :yeehaw: I'm sure I could make a riding trip to LBL and bring Darby's bike back to my place also.

Yep
A solid plan has been confirmed. The arrangement is this:
6 bikes or less, Walt and Big Lou drive Walts pickup (F150 2 wheel drive). :ride:
7 -10 bikes, Walt and Big Lou drive Nik & Reds truck (F350 Diesel 4X4) :aj:
Prices
4-6 bikes 250 each
7 bikes aprox 230 each
8 bikes aprox 190 each
9 bikes aprox 160 each
10 bikes aprox 140 each
Disclaimer and other useless babblings:
on 4-6 bikes, price is firm unless gas goes over 2.30 a gal
on 7-10 bikes, deisel prices will affect final cost
Towing vehicle owner (s) will not pay fee and will recieve a "rental fee". trailer owner will also be given a small/fair rental fee.
A few things to keep in mind, Lou and I will be missing work and driving your bikes from KC to Reno. around 3300 miles round trip, through Colorado, in February, (snow). This trip will be at least 24 hours driving time each way with clear roads. The plan is to leave KC at noon on Wednesday. We will do our best to get there Thursday afternoon. If time permits, we would go strait to Moonrocks for your riding pleasure. Weather and road trip issues will dictate our arrival time. As long as roads are clear, we will drive strait thru.
Anouther topic that comes up is we all owe Nik and Red a GREAT BIG thank you. It should not be taken lightly that they are letting us use their monster truck to pull this off. :worship:

Walt:
You will enjoy the ride out. It isn't really that bad unless it gets to 24 below like last year.
If you use Red's truck be sure you have the bra if it needs one for cold weather.
It is going to be an epic adventure! :yeehaw:
Is it February yet?

I might be able to squeeze the big bikes a bit closer together, giving us another 6" or so at the back.
Another thing we need to discuss-gearbags. If everyone could bring the smallest gearbag possible that would be great. :cool:

We had some gear with us. Don't recall who checked and who had it transported. Just with 11 riders, the more compact the better for sure. Passenger seat must recline for naps!

I'll plan on taking my gear on the plane, don't really want it sitting out on an open trailer. Hopefully everyone will do the same, 11 gearbags takes up a huge amount of room and weight.
If I was you I'd limit the trailer to bikes, gas cans and a couple toolboxes.

Eddie,
Plan 1
I need to talk to Nik and see if Im getting the truck on Tuesday, 6pm ish. If I do this might work out.
I was considering going thru St Louis on Tuesday night and perhaps sleeping there at your place from midnight till 6am wed. Then hitting the road to KC. I need to be at Lous between 10 and noon. How long does it take to get there from your place? As you can see Im still in the planning stages here. If this is the case I could haul a trailer also.
Plan 2
I get the truck the Sunday before and then its quicker for me to go 80 - Iowa - KC. If this is the case, Ill leave at 4 from my house and drive strait thru to Lous, getting there just after midnight.
Im needing to talk to Nik & Red first.
