Really glad your coming George!!! Bring any/all ya can!!! :)

Was truely hoping to meet up in Tucson but,,, being the Border Collie I am,,, and 7 friends stranded in town after their flight was canceled I had to kick it in and get them rooms,,, and hauled around town to motel and eat... Lost my chance of meeting up with the DesertSToc group... :(

Look forward to seeing you at the dinner George!!! :bow1:

[BigTom]

Hey, Terry.

I know you are a border collie (the border isn't far away). Why didn't you put your friends up in the Lazy 8 Motel? You coulda been doing your duties and stopped in too. I know, I had several days to think of that solution:)

On the chance that Coop can see and not post, HiYa Coop! On the chance that Pooc has come back, ignore this post:)

How far was the Lazy 8 from the airport??? And,,, did it have shuttle service to the airport at all??? I left Sunday,,, the rest left early Monday,,, and got home about 8 pm last night... A VERY,,, LONG day it sounds like...

Coop,,, can read,,, but not post??? Some say I can post,,, but don't read... ;)

And,,, it goes on,,, and on...

The only person who comes to see me here,,, is,,, well,,, me... :rolleyes:

[tkresler]

Morning everyone!!!! I'm very much planning on heading down to this. Heck, I even got the wife to agree to riding pillion. My question is, can I bring my crazy VTX buddy? I know VTX's are loud, and kind of obnoxious... like the Harley's of the Honda world. But, most of the time, he's a really good guy. I'll even keep a leash on him if you want.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to my moonburger, and meeting all of you soon!

Any/All/Small/Large/Old/New/Custom/Stock/Dirt/Paved/Quiet/Loud will be there,,, and are welcome... ;)

I hope alot of us bring our spouses & SO's... This is really a social event that I could describe as a "Happy Hour before an Awards Banquet, where you are one of many Guests of Honor, that is held outside in iffy weather, and is being attended by all of your best friends you never met."

[TOM BOGNAR]

Terry if you would show up on time and not run out of........gas, we would come to see you.... maybe :D :biker: If I'm the Tom coming to see Rebecca better that than some old hairy leg biker:)

[tkresler]

This is going to be awesome. I just hope the weather cooperates so that I can bring my wife.

If it's anything below 40 when we take off, it's going to be a hard sell. Same goes with any precipitation of any kind.

I'm really, really looking forward to meeting you all.

Ok Tim.... I'm thinkin' that most women are as frugal as they are dainty.... meaning that if you actually book that hotel, she may feel more compelled to 'not waste the money'..... also do not tell anyone that I suggested this, but since you guys live so close anyway, you could always drive down in the cage if it's a downpour, and if you wear your gear.... who would know????:eek: :D

I can see it now... Pulling up in the 4 wheeler, hollerin out the window: " Hey, move some of those bikes so I have some where to park my mega chopper".....Climbing out all geared up...." Yup, everyone will be fooled.... :crackup


Putt....

[Austin city limits]

Shhhhhh... :o: ...so OK, it won't work at Moonshine... I was thinking the Motel, and Richards.... (PS Tim... if it's 33 degrees and freezing rain... can Ahnna & I ride in the back seat????)

[Austin city limits]

4 wheel driving riders are welcome too!!! ;)

We had a few last year and sure we will have more this year... :)

I count 5 from Ohio and that isn't counting they may have 2 riders per bike...

Go to the,,,

www.moonshine-run.com

and you can see where everyone is from by clicking on the "Riders" thread...

[STill Fiddlin]

Ok, I'm a maybe on this. Plan I sprang on the wife last night after 2nd glass of wine at anniversary dinner - we're going to visit my folks in PA for Easter break, flying into Philadelphia with a visit to her cousin right outside of there. So, why don't I let her and the kids fly, I'll ride up and grab a car at my folks, and pick them up and drop them off at the airport. I get to spend a few extra days with my 85/76 year-old parents, then head over to Moonshine. It's about 2200 miles to get there that way, but I'm liking it, as far as plans go.

[Austin city limits]

VERY COOL STILL FIDDLIN!!!

Get signed up and that will make the wife let you do it... I mean,,, you signed up to do it,,, and she said yes and can always use the wine as clouding her memory... :)

[Austin city limits]

Can't sleep since I had a fever and slept about 24 of 36 hours so,,, I dug into some interesting facts...

Last year,,, we didn't go over the 300 people mark till March 20th...

This year we went over the 300 mark on Febuary 28th!!!

Last year we had 25 States signed up on March 20th...

We have had 26 States & Canada signed up since January 19TH!!! We have 29 States & Canada now,,, and almost assured,,, we will have,,, AT LEAST,,, 30 very soon!!!

When "The List" stopped signing up people a few days before the Moonshine Run last year we had 407 people,,, from 25 States,,, and 10 from Canada coming...

We this year have 333 people,,, from 29 States and Canada coming and STILL,,, have almost 40 days to go!!!

[George]

Terry, you ever been to the Slimey Crud run up in Wisconsin? Same kind'a thing, a couple more "big" names, lots-o-classic bikes (and riders.)

Looking forward to this event. Love a good 'burger.

You an Ahnna are absolutely welcome in the back seat. If you want to hook up with us on your way down, we can work out the details. Riding or driving, the more the merrier.:biker:

Here is my theory. If the weather cooperates, I'm bringing the wife and having a grand old time. If it's just cold, I'll be there solo. If it's cold and raining, we're taking the Jeep.

I'm trying to get my parts ordered today or tomorrow to replace the damaged tupperwear from the end of last season. Tired of waiting on the insurance settlement, I'll just foot the bill and hope I get paid back. Regardless, I'll have some fresh tupperwear and my ST11 will be back whole again.

I can't wait to meet everyone!

[SteveST1300]

Greg and Bones keep me posted on your plans.:03biker: Mine can change.

[Bones]

Kind of a function of school vacation schedules and the like. Not sure if I can make the whole event, maybe just the tail end. I frequently ride 100 miles to get bacon and eggs, what's 1000 miles for a burger?
Only motorcycle people do this sort of thing. :bow1:

[GRN]

Steve - will do man, just hangin' waitin' to get my RC schedule from the mother ship...
If I do make it, I'll be looking for some route suggestions to head south east there towards the Dragons Tail, sans slab, of course :cool:

Terry, I connected with Bob, we have/had some very good friends in common, thanx again man :) Maybe another Adirondack event in the making too :D

I can give you a # 1 ~~~ "Quick Way" or a # 2 ~~~ "Good Way" or,,, # 3 ~~~ "The Bestest Way" to the Dragon... Just get here and we will crack open a map and I am sure,,, 37 others will chip in their 2 cents too... ;)

Bob is a very cool guy... Wish he was coming back this year but the family came first,,, as it should... Makes my day to be able to help out... I mean,,, that is what Border Collies are for... :cool:

Will be looking for #3, or #4~~~"The Long Way". If I can come, the ride there will be more slab in two days than I have done in MANY years combined... feel the love man! Slab icky!

[Austin city limits]

Will be looking for #3, or #4~~~"The Long Way". If I can come, the ride there will be more slab in two days than I have done in MANY years combined... feel the love man! Slab icky!

Your my kind of rider then GRN!!! I 111% agree!!!

I would rather get up 2 hours early,,, and ride 2 hours later than to ride a 4 lane EXCEPT,,, a few pre-selected great 4 lanes,,, but they are far and few between... ;)

[Bones]

If GRN and I can make this happen (and Steve??) some slab may have to happen en route, but it's all in the name of being able to tell your grandkids someday that you rode 1000 miles for a hamburger -- honest!

And yes, GRN and Steve and I know each other. I've put them both up at my house, fed them well, rode and rode and rode. We may even share some stories but only if you promise to tell eveyone you ever meet. (You remember that time that Kempo....)

[Austin city limits]

I tell everything I ever remember... ;)

[GRN]

So,,, you know these 2 and your not coming now?!?!?!

;)

Yeah Terry, Steve's one of the northeast regulars, plan a cool ride and the dude will be there. He's coming, just looking to be flexible to try and share some miles on the way, and likely his roof if we make it. I heard Bones snores something scary though, hope he doesn't blow it for us :rolleyes:

[Austin city limits]

Here is a little secret I use when traveling with friends...

First night out on the road,,, 3 people,,, 1 room,,, 2 beds... Announce,,, in an almost proud voice that you have a very strong urge to spoon just after you fall asleep...

97.4% chance,,, you are getting a bed to yourself... The other 2.6% of the time,,, you might need to rethink this 3 people,,, 1 room,,, 2 bed deal... :eek:

[GRN]

Uh... I didn't know that Il was that far west :rolleyes:

It's like getting on a plane with one empty seat... and it's not next to you... till ya pull out the little bag dealie, announcing that you sure hope they have a bunch more, and proceed to fake holding back the hurle... hey look, the seat next to me is empty now, fixes me right up :D I'll have an orange juice, thanks!

[Bones]

I heard Bones snores something scary though...

Oh, what's that? Do I hear the pot calling the kettle black?

[GRN]

Oh, what's that? Do I hear the pot calling the kettle black?

Oh come on man, can't ye flinger of pen and prose come up with something a bit more original than that? Besides, you're too damned skinny to be a kettle ;)

[Bones]

Besides, you're too damned skinny to be a kettle ;)

I'll grant you that. Nonetheless, you, my friend, saw wood by the cord in your tent. Why isn't it neatly piled in the morning, all ready for the evening's caveman TV?
:cf1:

[clmixon]

You mean it might not rain? I can leave my raingear at home then! Wow!!


Uhhh,,,,,Coop?


I AM GOING!

I suggest rain gear and possiby a personal flota,,,never mind. :rolleyes:


Chris :06biker:

[George]

Terry, just a heads-up. Adam C. is trying to fit MoonSTOC into his LEO schedule. I hope we _both_ see you there. ;^)

[Coop]

Uhhh,,,,,Coop?


I AM GOING!

I suggest rain gear and possiby a personal flota,,,never mind. :rolleyes:


Chris :06biker:

Holey Cow! This is getting scary!! Does FEMA have a response team ready and will the pads in my Motoport's act as a USCG approved type II pfd?

[Austin city limits]

You hve a Motoport Coop??? I really want to check yours out...

I have decided to wait a year for a Motoport... By then,,, I hope I have lost the 20 extra I gained setting around eating little Debbies for 7 Months... ;)

And anyway,,, I seem to be fine for 12 Months... It seems to be months 21 and on I have a problem with,,, and Motoport might be in order/on order...:o:

[STill Fiddlin]

Can't seem to load the MoonSTOC website right now.

Booked plane tickets for the rest of the family to PA, without me, today, so the plan is in place. Now, so long as Chris keeps the tornadic winds and storms to the west of my route, at least until I arrive, I'm good to go.

Decisions - Decisions..............

I keep looking at the Moonshine website and this thread and thinking "I really ought to go to this"!!!! It's supposed to be in the 60's and 70's all week here so how cold can it be a month from now? :eek:

So, assuming I sign up (and BTW, we will then have Colorado represented) and before I try for a room reservation, do we have a list or thread going of fellow STOC folks that are looking to split a room?

:cool:

[Putt]

Rod,

Wait till you see the hills in E. Central Illinois... You're gonna think
you're back in Colorado..... :crackup

Putt...

[STeve1300]

Just thinkin that those of you w/ City Navigator may like a data file with these waypoints for your GPS.... Comfort Inn, Terry's House, Richards Farm Restaurant, and the not-so-easy-to-find Moonshine Restaurant. File attached.

[SteveST1300]

Thanks Steve I am looking forward to meeting you. will you be at Terry's Thursday night?

[STeve1300]

Thanks Steve I am looking forward to meeting you. will you be at Terry's Thursday night?

Friday for sure!!! So many names & faces to put together from this site.... I love it. Terry has created an event like no other. For anyone still on the fence... you gotta make it. I don't think I attended a single RTE or STOC event last year where someone wasn't wearing a Moonshine T-Shirt!!

[st_rider]

Rod,

Wait till you see the hills in E. Central Illinois... You're gonna think
you're back in Colorado..... :crackup

Putt...

Yes - VERY pretty!!! I have been through there several times enroute to NeSTOC, EaSTOC and FallSTOC.

Thanks!

[Putt]

Yes - VERY pretty!!! I have been through there several times enroute to NeSTOC, EaSTOC and FallSTOC.

Er, Rod,

That part of Illinois was used as the template for the very first

Get signed up Rod!!! Yes,,, ok,,, YES I ADMIT,,, it WOULD be cool to add Colorado to "The List" but,,, meeting you would be better... :cool:

And,,, don't let Putt fool you... I have been shown a route that makes you think you are in West Virginia I can lead a bunch off on... Toypro/Dan showed me it over the weekend!!! You are never more than 40 miles from Casey,,, and twisty too!!! It was so twisty in spots,,, Dan had to take me back through again just so I wouldn't get lost!!! :D

Just thinkin that those of you w/ City Navigator may like a data file with these waypoints for your GPS.... Comfort Inn, Terry's House, Richards Farm Restaurant, and the not-so-easy-to-find Moonshine Restaurant. File attached.


Very Cool Steve!!! But,,, Me thinks that map to Moonshine needs to turn at Hogue Town... :rolleyes:

[Putt]

Get signed up Rod!!! Yes,,, ok,,, YES I ADMIT,,, it WOULD be cool to add Colorado to "The List" but,,, meeting you would be better... :cool:

And,,, don't let Putt fool you... I have been shown a route that makes you think you are in West Virginia I can lead a bunch off on... Toypro/Dan showed me it over the weekend!!! You are never more than 40 miles from Casey,,, and twisty too!!! It was so twisty in spots,,, Dan had to take me back through again just so I wouldn't get lost!!! :D

Terry... are you saying I put the waypoints in the wrong spots??? I'll correct it if so. I realize you can reach Moonshine Restaurant from the North or West.... but I thought this was my actual "track" last year. Your neighbor lead the way, arriving from the West on CR-16.

Okay - signed up and got a room over in Greenup (none left at the host motel). Looks like Whit is riding with me on his scoot, so we will have TWO from Colorado!!!

How do we get signed up for the cook out Thursday night?

Sorry Steve,,, I was kidding,,, your map is "Technically" right...

What gets people in trouble is,,, they see the town of Hogue Town,,, see the store even,,, and think they need to go on farther south and turn... When you come to Hogue Town store,,, you turn just like your map shows... GPS,,, once again,,, has a town in the wrong spot in that area... :D

Are there enough fuel stops on this route for you? I've heard rumors about last year and some sort of fuel problem. LOL!!

[Del]

Terry, lest you be confused SteveST1300 and myself are signed up to arrive on Friday. Then we smelled free food, accordingly we will be arriving on Thursday. Please plan your viddles with a collective of 1300 additional hard miles of slab added to the head count.

Friday for sure!!! So many names & faces to put together from this site.... I love it. Terry has created an event like no other. For anyone still on the fence... you gotta make it. I don't think I attended a single RTE or STOC event last year where someone wasn't wearing a Moonshine T-Shirt!!


Geesh, I should make meet and greet sheets and see who has the most at the end. Ha! :D I didn't say that out loud..... I don't need anymore to do. Hahahah!

Well, guys, I got a family meet on 4-13-07, so ya prolly won't see me (and, hopefully, STraycatt) until 4-14.

OTOH, I _will_ be there for the burger on 4-15.

So...

MOONSTOC RULES!

[tkresler]

Morning all..

So, the plan for me and my group leaving from West Chicago is to leave at 6:30 Saturday morning and head to the Comfort Inn. If anyone is heading down from western Wisconsin and wants to hook up with us, email tkresler@gmail.com or hit this thread and we'll work out a plan.

If things go well, we'll be at the hotel by 10:30 and we can catch an escorted ride to the restaraunt. My question is, if things don't go well, where should I point my GPS at to find the restaraunt by myself? I guess with 400 odd people going, I can just listen for some stealth ST's and follow, but I'd feel better with an address or an intersection.

Any help is appreciated.

Tim

Your 1 map to Moonshine is PERFECT!!!

The other map at least for me,,, isn't showing the Cole's County Airport...

A far nontechnical way to find it is,,, Get on RT 16 and go 1/2 way between Mattoon and Charleston Illinois,,, which is also just off of I-57 and head east on the south side of RT 16 is the airport... Pull in and eat... :)

[STeve1300]

oops... Terry I didn't know the 'elephant ears' were at the airport. I thought I posted 2 magnification levels of Moonshine only. See ya in a couple weeks!!

[STill Fiddlin]

Booked at Casey KOA. I'll be coming over from a week at my folks in Pennsylvania, so plan to be there for Friday dinner and a famous Moonburger on Saturday, but will probably head back to TX after that. I know I'm going to miss carving up the canyons around there, but maybe next year I'll have more time.

The canyons are nice, but you have to ride to the top of that mountain just south of Casey. I can't remember the name, but it's famous. Let me think.....anyone smell smoke? It think it's Kiltamyjaro......where people chug quart jars of homemake whiskey or maybe I'm wrong.

If you are going to the "Moonstoc" and wish to have a laminated name tag, the only way to do that is to sign up. That's how they are being made via the sign up list. If the group as STOC or ST-owners is not filled out, a tag can't be made. Only this site is having those made soooooo "membership has it advantage.

Bob MIGHT get mad at me but,,, I HAVE to tell you all what he has been/is doing/will do for everyone!!!

Bob contacted me,,, and said he was wanting to help and has done all this on his own... He has kept "The List" shipped off stuff to me to look at... Countless E-Mails about what to make,,, and spent some HUGE money in getting stuff printed/shipped/laminated!!!

Bob is a perfect example of how the Moonshine Run is such a great thing to be working on... You find out very often how GREAT people like Bob/Jody/Putt/Curt/Rebecca/Pons/Oneshot/Toypro/Murph/Trashman/Coop/Tom Bognar/Brad Esler to name just a few are... Some like Bob,,, have never met me,,, but are willing to offer to help,,, and go FAR above what is expected...

I told Bob in an e-mail I wrote just minutes before I saw his post... Bob will join a long list of people I will have a silent and thoughtful prayer and a tip of my Diet Dr Pepper for when the Moonshine Lunch Run is over...

Very cool people... Very Cool Indeed... :bow1:

You keeping Helen in the loop??? De LIST keeps getting bigger :)


Putt..

[bobsblu]

Terry, Putt

You might give Helen one of the "OFFISHUL" tags or I can come up with something. Perhaps a sash with"ms moonshine 2007?" Don't know what type of humor she has. PM me with ideas. I have you, jody putt, etc. I don't remember pons, oneshot, murph and trashman. I may have done them, but you have the cards. I do have all these lined up by "earth names." you might shoot me an email on the earth names so I can confirm or make some up. I will laminate other than STOC if they play a part in the organization of the event

All you others that are coming to moonstoc:
Make sure I have gotten all you for the lamination, but remember, the only way I really know is from the list on the moonshine site. I went back and back-checked some, but the list is too long now. If you registered and didn't indicate STOC some how, some where, I don't know. I will be stopping this on the 4th of April. There will be other nametags but not personalized.

I want to hear no more of this adulation from you ACL!!!!!! (thanks) :D

[bobsblu]

this is a sample of the tags. No cost to you this year. All STOC members that have registered will get one upon arrival thru ACL or one of the other leaders. the other tags, generally, won't be laminated. Exceptions would be those involved in the "Run" specifically. I have about 70 tags made up so far for the STOC/VIP that are laminated and about 400 tags that are generic both STOC and "generic"

Just got an Email from a member whose wife was coming with him. He wondered about getting a tag for her.....it has been done. If you want one sent on to Casey for an SO or wife let me know. The templates are easy to add on to. Also if you have a riding buddy you want to have a laminated one, I can do that via the request of an ST member

Curt do you know anything about plumbing in ACL's new Turbo Paperless Crapper/Waffle Maker with the High Fidelity Option?

Boy, I hope that's not on the menu for Thursday night?!?!?!:eek:

You know anything about hooking up a 4 gallon tank on a BMW??? I am getting Earache

((GREAT GUY I now know you know as he told me you already know him and know he makes tanks,,, you know???)))

to make up a cool attachment on my BMW... Just need help on where in the name of Ralph Nader can I hook into the flow lines correctly... Did you let Eric fix that up for you or did you do it Curt???

[crazykz]

Did you let Eric fix that up for you or did you do it Curt???

On the ST it's easy and I did it myself. There's a torque bolt you can pull out that is an inspection bolt and then you just make a fitting to do in there. Some people just "T" into the return fuel line. I'm not sure if you can do that or not. I'm sure there are plenty of RT owners out there that know how to do that though. You might want to check with Charlie.

Well,,, first,,, the bad news...

We lost a fellow ST rider from the list California # 276 Sailormilan2 as he has stuff came up and can't get gone... :( Was REALLY looking forward to meeting someone nutty enough to ride that far... :bow1:

I told him,,, I felt sorry for him as it was like setting 1 lap from the end of the Indy 500,,, being in a very VERY close 2nd place and having to quit...

Also,,, # 283 Skywriter from Georgia is having to pull out too... :( Military duty calls for him...

Does anyone have the exact gps coordinates for the Burgers? If I can make this it will be a last minute thing and I'll probably be riding all night to get there just in time for lunch.. maybe..

Terry, wonder what the stolen signs will go for on ebay... :nuts1:

There's a whole website for Moonshine yet there's one thing missing. It's where it is and how to get there. Are you trying to keep the location secret?

Curt

[STill Fiddlin]

I've got Moonshine and the KOA loaded in the GPS. Think I'm ready. Looking forward to warmer weather next week. Forecast for my route to PA has possibility of snow showers as far south as Bristol VA/TN. I believe the new Gerbings (and old 28amp alt.) will get tested more than I planned. Should've sprung for the pants and socks, too, it looks like!

[sherob]

Hey Keith... did you plan your route for dualsport :eek:

If everyone knows how to get there,,, they might not let me come!!! :)

I have given GPS location,,, maps,,, drawing,,, and people STILL,,, get lost getting there!!!

Simplest,,, bestest way is,,, come to the Comfort Inn,,, get signed in,,, your name tag,,, a Sweet Roll to die for,,, free Cola/Coffee,,, maybe pick up a T-Shirt or 3,,, look at all the frigg'n bikes,,, and get a local to show you the way...:biker:

Just a reminder on the laminated name tags. If you have a friend and want one personalized let me know at bsdds@comcast.net. I have gotten mrs diggers and diggers as well as timmybob4 as my last one. I have made up some "laminated" tags (moonstoc and moonshine) that are not personalized but a sharpie can do it.

I have a reservation for an extra room @ Marshall. this is a room not a share. My riding buddy is not coming as it turns out. It is for Friday and Sat. I will hold it for someone if they want it. I can turn it back to the Super 8 but they will not nec give it to a Moonshine STOC rider. PM me if interested. I will cancel the room Monday if no one takes it.
