October 5,6,7
Friday October 5, 2007 (10-5-07) We will leave the hotel in Lees Summit MO between 8-8:30am for a 300+- mile roundtrip ride to the Lake of the Ozarks to eat lunch. Friday night local restaurant to meet other riders coming into town or eat at hotel. Saturday at 10am (ish) we will leave to ride to the American Royal BBQ. The BBQ does not allow local parking so we will park in here. http://www.st-owners.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=20327&d=1184895713
There is no parking because the BBQ takes up every last parking lot, more than 500 teams compete. This will be an all day event as there are live bands, rodeo events, livestock competition (hands off the sheep Sink). Saturday night we are going to 4INER's house for a pig roast. I will have the rental van and haul people Saturday night if some don't feel comfortable riding at night in a foreign state. All are welcome please PM or E-mail with any questions, you can also call, my number is in the RAN list.
Also please bring a "coaster" to put under the kickstand for the Volleyball office we will be parking on the courts.

Either plan is peachy with me - go danny go danny go danny go!

I'm in!

[Papa Brad]

I kind of like Plan B, with the ride to the Ozarks on Friday and the short rides and a lot of just "hanging out" on Saturday.

Either way, though, I'm in!

[dreddd2000]

I'd love to do the Ozarks run, but I'm not certain I could do it on Friday. Just my humble opinion. And thanks for stepping up for the planning, Much. :bow1:

Barring life complications like a meteor-induced ELE, I'm in.

Oh, and everyone that shows up can have the unmitigated joy of wishing my happy birthday...or just making fun of me for getting older. Either one works.

[OlDrifter]

Uh-huh! What Sue said!! Go for it Danny!! It would be fine with me either way. Let the out-of-towners decide what works best for them.

[Sink]

oooooOOOOOOHHHHHHHhhhhhhh................. Barbie Que! :salivarunningdownmycheeks:

[STeve1300]

Hi Danny.... I think an "End of Season" food event to compliment Moonshine is an awesome idea!!! Is this BBQ an anual thing on the first weekend of October??? I hope so.

As far as Friday, I would think alot of us would be arriving late, ala Moonshine, and a Friday PM dinner close to "The Motel" would be nice. I like your idea of a meeting at a tent near the BBQ, but my suggestion would be to skip Saturday AM rides and stay still long enough for everyone else to catch up to you! A long ride on friday for people coming for a ride... a long lunch on Saturday for people coming to eat and socialize (that would be me).

Whatever you decide... I'm off that weekend, and I have KCBBQ-STOC on my calandar!

[Muchmore]

Steve outstanding you can make it so far. My thought with the dates were thursday being a ride in to town day, friday-sat ride eat, and sunday ride home day. But, its a democracy. If a majority of the riders arent coming in until friday night or saturday morning, we can do the BBQ saturday, hang out saturday afternoon and the locals can do the Lake ride on sunday.

[dreddd2000]

I just spread the word on Steinar's forum too. Maybe we'll get some more out-of-region guests. :welcome1:

The above is what I had in mind when I said I liked Plan B. Ride into Kansas City on Thursday afternoon, make the Ozarks ride on Friday, some short rides and major BBQ eating and hanging out on Saturday, and back home on Sunday.

With this much notice, my job allows me a lot of flexibility, so I can go whatever way works best for the most riders.

[4INer]

Both plans seem fantastic. Thanks for getting QStoc off the ground. Let me know what I can do to help. My place could be a stopping point for a ride to the Ozarks either day. Don't know if the hour ride into KC is to far for folks to commute but we've got a couple spare bedrooms, and 70 acres to camp on if anyone is interested.

[Muchmore]

Oh yes, I forgot there is also camping here local as well. Longview lake will be open or like 4iner mentioned at his house also.

[forgitaboutut]

count me in!

[Muchmore]

Alright keep'em commin'. I read somewhere 32 people started Moonshine, so I have to start there, we have 6 and counting with 5 months to go!:D

[Muchmore]

OK I am going to do a test run on the lake ride we have planned that weekend, anybody up for it. I would like to go on a saturday or sunday within the next month.

[dreddd2000]

I can't this weekend, but I should have a free weekend soon to do it.

[Brighteyesue]

I cant this weekend either, but let me know when. Lemme at them curvy roads!

[4INer]

My daughter is fixing to make me a grand daddy any day now, and when ever she calls all my plans will be off. But keep me in the loop, I'd love to go and I'm pretty much on the way.

[Muchmore]

OK the time is right.
Saturday June 16, 2007 PRE-KCBBQRUN

We will leave Lee's Summit Perkins at the corner of 291hwy n & 50Hwy between 8-8:30am and head Southeast. We will have 2 routes to choose. 1ST RouteSouth down thru Clinton, Windsor, Lincoln and East to Cole Camp, Stover, Laurie, Camdenton and to Osage Beach for lunch.
2ND Route Osage Beach, W hwy thru Rocky Mount, Versailles, Stover to Sedalia and some twisty way home from there.

Oh man! I'm gone that weekend- Portland, OR

But whatever you guys come up with will be fine I'm sure!

[4INer]

Count me in for either ride. I may meet up with you along the route, but count me in.

[Saber05]

Thanks for including me. I am returning from two weeks away National Guard duty...read...my wife has been pulling her hair out so not a good day. Keep me on the list for local events.

[Muchmore]

no problem, welcome back in town.

[forgitaboutut]

Any plan on what day the ride is?...
I need to know if I have to take thur,(4th) off or not...

[Muchmore]

Yes I am sorry I do believe I have received enough feedback to make an executive decision.
PLAN B HAS BEEN CHOSEN !
Friday October 5, 2007 (10-5-07) We will leave a destination in Lees Summit MO between 8-8:30am for a 300+- mile ride to the Lake of the Ozarks to eat lunch, we will travel one route on the way down and another on the way back. Friday night local restaurant to meet other riders coming into town or eat at hotel. Saturday at 10am (ish) we will leave to ride to the American Royal BBQ. The BBQ does not allow local parking so we will find a designated area for us and park -n- ride free shuttle into the BBQ. There is no parking because the BBQ takes up every last parking lot, more than 500 teams compete. this will be an all day event as there are live bands, rodeo events, livestock competition (hands off the sheep Sink). Saturday afternoon/evening meeting back at the hotel to try and sleep it off, if anyone is up for Saturday night dinner we can do that but you had better see how big the BBQ lunch gets first.
VARIABLES
Hotel, I want to use one in Lees Summit but am trying to get rooms for less than $93/night.
Parking arrangements at the BBQ. There are free shuttles everywhere all with good parking lots but the bikes will be unattended. I personally am not worried about that but I know some do. So I am also researching getting a private Taxi/shuttle to drop us off & pick us up as a group from the hotel or a local bike shop instead of public parking.
BBQ TICKETS I have contacted the American royal hospitality coordinator and she is getting me group prices for tickets and info about local lodging. I wanted to have our own BBQ team but you have to compete for 2 days and the smallest space was $375. So I will find a local team to share and we will just donate $5/person to a local cause.
RECAP
10-5-07 8-8:30am departure for Osage Beach MO for lunch

Sounds great. And again if anyone commiong in for the ride wants to commute from Leeton I've got a couple extra bedrooms and plenty of camping space.

[dreddd2000]

All birthday gifts for myself will be collectable that weekend. Thank you for your attention in this matter. :crackup

Totally kidding! But I do get to go on a ride for my birthday, so that's all good. :-D

I may actually have to wait for your birthday to meet up with you and the rest of the KC area riders. Thought I would be participating in the test ride on the 16th. But work just informed me that I am to head to Indiana on the 16th and return on the 20th. (I will be getting there on the ST however) So I guess work once again gets in the way. The stuff we have to do to pay for farkles.
But today would be my birthday and I'm taking the day off. I just have to hurry and get out for a birthday ride before the weather rolls in this afternoon.

[dreddd2000]

Well, technically my bday is the 2nd, but close enough for me. ;)

umm yep...I meant OCT!:crackup
the ONLY 2 reasons for wanting to move are
1. less snow= more ride!
2. better roads than Wi! (But Wi can be fun if you know where to look!)

[mstgsaly269]

I got a list of hotels, but can anyone give me an idea on which might be better, they all seem to have the same amenities but vary in price by around 10 bucks.

If everyone that is going to attend please RSVP, go into the calendar, change it to October in the lower right corner and click on this event the option to RSVP will pop up.
I just need to work out some short transportation issues around the BBQ.
If you cant figure this out please come anyway.

[Muchmore]

OK I ran the route one more time looking for some more good roads and I found a few things out. 1- I still didn't see sink;s or my right foot peg from a 35mph corner that really was 35mph and 2, a 14 mile stretch of road has 24 marked corners with yellow slow signs. H hwy is a sparsely populated road full of corners with cresting apex's.
2-25mph
9-35mph
8-45mph
5-50mph
now there is of course there is no straight part of this road so only some corners were marked.
Here is a partial plan of the route.
Lincoln, MO S on 65hwy to H east on H to B and north on B to 52 east to 135 and south on it until 5 hwy in Laurie, mo.
From Lees Summit to Lincoln, there is just no better way than hit the Highway and get it over with, 1 1/2 hours. How far we go down into the Ozarks I am still debating on. But this ride will have multiple rest stops for SO's and myself. Its hard to determine where the eating point should be because there so many beautiful roads to travel but I don't want to tire anyone.

[dreddd2000]

Sounds like fun to me. Anyone got a time machine. The next couple of months are garbage anyway. I'll just jump ahead. :P

[Sink]

CRAP! I thought maybe you'd find my boot too! Left about 1/4 of it on the pavement.........

Too bad about the travel to the good roads but trust me folks, it's worth it!

[Muchmore]

Ok Glen you are pushing your luck. I know as long as there is Monster drinks and smokes you are good to go, I know. Lol

[Muchmore]

OK this is coming together. I have now officially secured indoor/locked storage for the bikes while at the BBQ.
Special thanks to United States Volleyball Association for use of their building while no tournaments are going on.
It is a 4-5 drive from the USVBA building to the BBQ, but, I have reserved a 15 passenger van and a designated driver to shuttle us to and from the BBQ.
So, that means, we will ride the bikes to Kansas City Ks park indoors on the volleyball courts and take the 4-5 minute drive to the BBQ.
So please bring a "foot" for under the kickstand. Here is a picture of ourpersonal parking garage.

From Lees Summit to Lincoln, there is just no better way than hit the Highway and get it over with, 1 1/2 hours. How about taking a cut off of 50 somewhere between Lone Jack and Warrensburg. Get down to Hwy 2 and head east. If you come through Leeton, you'll be riding past my place. I'd be happy to sponsor a pit stop and provide cold drinks (gatorade, water, pop, etc.), and head out after the last bike through. Then if you continue east on 2 to Windsor, then South (South East) on E out of Windsor to C. The east on C to Lincoln. All decent roads with E bieing the roughest, but no recent chip and seal jobs on any of them at this point.

We did close to that route on the practice run, we went 58hwy to 131, A hwy, 2hwy, 13hwy, 7hwy, 65hwy back to 7hwy. All good roads but I think we might just hit 7hwy since its 65ish mph and head to Windsor over to 65 that way.

[dreddd2000]

It all sounds great so far. You might check some of the non-local places for door prizes as well. I hear Tucmoto just donated some iridium spark plugs for raffle prizes at TexSTOC...

BTW, TEXSTOC is the same weekend. I'll still be attending BBQSTOQ. Arkansas is tempting, but I have to support the home team. :)

Had some BBQ down there last week..... Can't wait! I am missing those roads too. I was only there one night. Had Shrine competition on Friday morning. I did ride SR5 on the way down. Too much traffic and way too short. Had a great time on it though.

[4INer]

Got some more wood cut the past couple of days, so the bon-fire is on. I've got the cooker reserved so we can make sure we have hot meat. And I've been working pretty hard trying to get my basement finished before the event, and may make it. But you may have to avoid the mess in my garage... :~) So the Friday night Q and hang out at my place is pretty much set. We just need you all to show up, and hope that the weather cooperates. I won't be able to make the Tuesday night ride again next week. Work keeps getting in the way....

Hey man we will be at youo place Saturday night. That will give you an extra day. Don't know where "Friday" came from. Like I said I've been working way to much. I'll see you all on Friday for the Lake ride, and then on Saturday for the Q...........

[Muchmore]

OK, I think I have all the arrangements made. The van rental to get to and from the American Royal BBQ is going to be an all weekend rental so if anybody wants to go out to 4INERS Saturday night for the pig roast but doesn't want to ride in the dark for some reason I will just haul a load from the hotel and back with the van.
The lunch for Friday is the only thing I am working on. I am going to find a good fish joint around the Lake of the Ozarks so we can just knock out the rest of the meat groups.
More to come. Get ready to ride. 17 :03biker: days and counting!

[Sink]

Just heard from STumpy. He's a no go for the event. He has chemo on Friday. Too bad. I'll bring him with me one of these times!

I gotta give Props to my buddy Muchmore. WHAT A GUY!!

Privately, I told him that some folks were concerned about riding after dark because they have heard of our legendary elk sized deer in Missouri. I mentioned no names, cause the darn things scare me too :eek: .

So, what does he do????????????????

Gets us chauffeured!!

[motomac]

OK, so I guess by the lack of response to my question, noone is going to go to BamaSToc from KCBBQSToc

[Muchmore]

No, i'm not going to make it. Maybe you could convince Rich to turn around and head back.

[mstgsaly269]

No, i'm not going to make it. Maybe you could convince Rich to turn around and head back.

LOL after KCBBQ trust me the only place Rich is going is home, My butt can't take no more.....:crackup I haven't had a day off the bike since we left, this is my first long ride and even the rides we do here just for fun have been 300 or plus, I think he is trying to kill me during these 10 days. I give you guys credit that have iron butts to do these things.:bow1: At this rate I may have to bail on the lake ride friday and let Rich go it alone, I just need 1 day to remold my butt before the long ride home sunday.( I am having a good time tho, Being along with Rich, with no kids is kinda nice ( but don't tell him that tho) and he does try to make me happy, which I'll admit is kinda hard at times LOL well we will see you all in 2 days we're hoping to arrive afternoon sometime thursday.

[Muchmore]

More good news I just talked to a friend of mine who works for Miller Distributing and he is going to spot us 10 tickets to the American Royal BBQ. So we can put these in a hat or divide them up amongst all of us.

[dreddd2000]

Maybe I missed it, but what is the cost for the tickets for Saturday?

[spotz]

My folks live south of poplar bluff, near 160&67 and I have made the trip more times than I care to mention, 160 from Doniphan to Alton is one fine motorcycle road, two weeks ago other than the shoulders being grown up a bit was in fine shape, no new chip & sealing or construction paving that I noticed, the rest of it to to Forsythe isn't to shabby either come to think of

[Brighteyesue]

Anyone in town tonight is welcome to come to my house for dinner AFTER 6:30 pm please. Nothing fancy, but it is free food and a chance to hang out and visit.

Tonight I will lead people from the hotel to Sues house, we will leave at 6:30pm.

Ok we have talked about it and I think we are going to eat at Perkins across the street from the Hotel. So I am going to be at the hotel at 7:am.

[Brighteyesue]

I am home from work and wondering...

Are you guys STILL riding?? I am so extremely jealous!!

[Brighteyesue]

And you might get some Blue Bunny ice cream!!!!!!! DAMHIKT

Nah, I am saving it for your return :D , after I sneak a little

[dreddd2000]

I didn't get to my house until just after 1900. We started the ride at about 0900. We've been riding ALL day. A first for me. And I have pictures!

We had 11 bikes go!

Oh, sorry, I'm not slick enough to get action shots while riding. All of mine are shots taken when we took a break.

First shot is the bikes lined up at Perkins this morning, preparing to roll out.

Next is a flock of STs at our first break of the day. The Goldwing managed to avoid getting into the picture, somehow.

Third, say high to the guys as we stop to recharge before tackling the first batch of real twisties for the day.

Fourth is lunch on the lake. Good food, great people, gorgeous views and Joe the Vegetarian Piranha. My shot of Joe didn't come out well. Maybe Muchmore will post up his shot.

Last is a line of gorgeous rides on the last break before the REAL twisties. Hey, I'm pleased that I managed to at least keep site of the front of the line. I only lost my nerve once in a left-hand sweeper at 80mph with an oncoming dumptruck. :eek:

[86Magna]

Got back to Lee's Summit about 6:45. Sorry you couldn't make it, it was a good one.
Thanks Danny for a great ride, I had alot of fun.

Oh, what a great time. A great group of riders and people. I am so glad all of you decided to show up and share the weekend with me. This just might have to become a ritual as I had such a good time. I will post pictures shortly after some minor censoring.

[mstgsaly269]

Danny,
myself and Josh:crackup had a great time, it was great meeting you all. I didn't want the weekend to end. You really went all out, and want to thank you.:bow1: on the way home we stopped at a gas station in Iowa called KUM & GO( first thought in my head was... where is danny,sink and Carl when ya need them.) LOL I could just hear the comments. I'm looking forward to seeing you all again and I hope you all can make it to WI-stoc next year.
you guys are awsome and I miss ya'll(LOL) already.

P.S.
MY BUTT HURTS..................
This was a great ending to our 10 day trip.

[Papa Brad]

I had a great time Thursday evening and Friday! Other commitments kept me from the happening stuff on Saturday.

To my new friends . . . (I hope I don't miss anybody)

Danny, you did a tremendous job. Thanks especially for all your help.

Tom, it was good to meet you. I hope you made it back to Springfield in fine shape.

Rich and Sally, you too. You're great people.

Rick, man, I love your 1100!

Sue, thanks ever so much for the food and get-together Thursday evening. You have a beautiful home. I'm sorry you couldn't make the ride Friday.

Carl, my neighbor, take care of things over in Valley Falls. Being as close as we are, we need to hook up more often.

Sink, it was good to finally put a name to a person. You're something else!

Joe, you're one hell of a rider. Thanks especially to you too for helping me Friday afternoon.

Chris and Steve, I didn't get to talk with you guys much, but I'm sure we'll meet up again soon.

Chuck and Rose, you're great people too. Enjoy that grandchild. Thanks also, Chuck, for your words of advice.

And to my best old friend, my 1300, I rode you harder than ever, and you never let me down once!

I learned a lot from you guys and all that happened Friday only made me a better rider. When we got to the restaurant, I know a lot of you thought I looked like a 10-year-old who just smoked his first cigarette. I kind of felt that way too!

As most of you know, I didn't ride back with you guys, but I had a great ride back to my son's place in Gladstone, nonetheless, well over 400 miles (via Springfield and then via Buffalo) roundtrip for me. (Man, I gotta get me a Zumo!) I had a tail wind quite a bit of the way. Riding in the late afternoon and into the evening in the beautiful early fall Midwest was just awesome.

Take care, everybody, and God Bless.

910 miles--- 13 counties

Good memories----Priceless

Made it back into Springfield Sunday afternoon via another scenic route and as this was my first STOC event I feel pretty sure it won't be my last. A pretty good time was had be myself. Muchmore thanks for the effort and time I am sure this took. 4iner I truly appreciate your gracious hospitiality and making me feel welcome.

Let me say it one more time...... GRRRRRREEEEAT WEEKEND!! Way to go Danny. The Friday ride was awesome, and I'm sure the memories of the ride will be with me long after the spouse induced bruises on my sides have healed, and probably longer than it will take the Muchmore house to finish eating all the Q that Danny bought. Rose and I thoroughly enjoyed having you all over Saturday evening. You're all welcome back anytime. And that invitation would include anybody I met during any part of KC-BBQ-STOCK. Or anybody on an ST for that matter... (OK Goldwings are welcome too....) You ever find yourself in Leeton Missouri, stop by and say hi. I hope we can do it again next year.

Thanks to all for a great time.

[STrana]

Hey guys, I just wanted to put in my thanks to Muchmore for the great organization and to let everyone know how much I enjoyed hanging out on the Friday ride. The route was a blast and seemed to get better as the day went along. I'm ready for another one.

[dreddd2000]

How much do you think it would cost to have them move highway H, just as it is now, closer to Kansas City? :P

[Muchmore]

Hey, chuck somehow we made it home with a couple of spoons. I was wonder if we can come back next year so I can complete the set ?:)

Sink, Brighteyesue, Forgitaboutut, Kts1911, 86-magna, Bradley, Strana, Spotz, Dredd2000, Rollon and Especially 4INER for having to his house on Saturday night. Also honerable mentions, Sinks wife, Forgitaboutut's wife (mstgsaly269) and 4INERS wife for putting up with us all. I had such a great time with everyone and could not have done any of this by myself.
Thank you Freedom Cycles for donating shirts. Thank you Miller Distributing for donating Tickets and thank you United States Volleyball Association for donating a safe indoor place to park. :)
From this pint forward every cow looks like a sandwich wrapped in leather and pigs look like BBQ inside a football. Thank you everone for participating and I hope I didnt forget anyone.

WOW! What a BLAST!

Danny,
What a great job you did. I had such a fantastic time. Your efforts were well worth it! Oh, and thanks for helping me pick up my bike:wink: The ride was fantastic! The American Royal was a very cool thing to see... (although I slowed you guys down...) The BBQ was a great time. You outdid yourself! Hope you do it again next year! It was nice to meet your wife and kids too. My daughter was happy to have a buddy to do stuff with.

Chuck and Rose,
Thanks so much for letting us invade your home for the Q! A great time was had by all!!!!! It was great meeting you guys. My son really enjoyed the paddle boat!

Sue,
Thanks again for letting me stay with you Thursday night! AND for letting me return on Sunday night. That rain with the traffic in KC was un-nerving. Your home cooked meals were FABULOUS!!!!!

Karl,
You just ain't right......:wink:

Chris, Steve, Tom, Brad, Joe, Rich (Josh), Sally, Rick..... Who did I miss??? What a great time!!! Those roads were FANTASTIC!!!!! And the company was unbelievable!

This was such a great time! I really hated to have it end. Don't tell anybody about my tipover award! (glad I got THAT over with.....) The American Royal was a hoot. You can't believe the experience of seeing 500 BBQ teams cooking at the same time! And the smell...... Incredible!!! Karl, next time, at least kiss the Maytag repairman before you grab his...... NEVERMIND!

My wife and kids had a great time as well! It was nice to have them feel welcome!

I can't wait for next year!

[Muchmore]

I did want to add that there were about 19 participants including families so thank you everybody for a great first year event.:bow1:
