[Austin city limits]

Well,,, I am going this year so I know there will be 2 of us there Putt... ;)

[Papa]

I think one more qualifies it for a STOC event. (BG)

[STindy05]

I will be there! Any code words for reserving a room to get a good price?

[Toaksy]

I am planning on it as long a guard doesn't get in the way.

[Mellow]

I'll be there...I can't let another one go by.

[sherob]

Pssst... when is it :cool:

[Austin city limits]

April 12th... But,,, it really starts on the 10th with a free food cook-out at my house... ;)

No secret decoder ring discount yet... They have not set prices for room next year yet... (((crazy))):(

[Coop]

It seems like I made my reservation a long time ago. Oh yeah, I did!!

[TOM BOGNAR]

MOONSHINE ! I looked outside and saw how sh#@* the weather was and thought it was here already :D

MOONSHINE ! I looked outside and saw how sh#@* the weather was and thought it was here already :D

Same here Tom... every time we get a little more ice on the road I keep wondering if I should be packing.

I'll re-confirm my room after the new year.

Can't wait!!! This time I'm coming down the night before and staying the night after.

Tim

[sirepair]

I REALLY want to go to this! Just gotta work on the logistics.....

What lodging is available in the area??

[dr1954]

Ricky will be better prepared next time!

Have new waterproof winter gloves and boots are next. Don't let anyone tell you that mink oil will waterproof leather.

I agree with TOM. Raining and 30 something degrees. I almost jumped on the ST saturday and headed east.

:::::if ACL replys to this thread,,, ACL will once again start up the 852 pound hairy arse monster called "The List" and the moonshine lunch run will be breaking out like a 16 year olds face working at Taco Bell::::

Motel,,, 1,,, Motel is in Casey... 1 in Greenup... 2 or 3 in Marshall,,, 10 or so in Effingham,,, 25 in Terre Haute...

I am going to start working on getting ready for "The List" and all of the insanity next week,,, and we will be starting up the 852 pound monster right after the first of the year... That's my plan at least... ;)

Terry,
Thanks for all you do! I know that working on something like this can be consuming (BTDT!) If there's anything I can do, let me know. I've always felt better being involved, however possible, than just "showing up"!

[Putt]

I volunteer a smoked Pork loin or two for the 10th....

I'm gonna camp this year, but I'll be there. From early April to Mid-May, I'll be traveling the hills 'n hollers all over the place. See y'all here 'n there.

Mmmmmm, Moon burgers and tenderloin sammiches. :D

[Putt]

Hey Terry,

You gonna limit the number of people that are gonna be there from Texas??
Those people eat like they never have been fed before...


Putt...

[Coop]

er, er, er......Watch it Putter!! We could start a competing RTE called Sunshine or sumpin lik that!! LOL!

[STill Fiddlin]

*I* only had 2. Can't speak for the rest of the state.

I only had one. But wanted another one.

Voluteers are needed,,, and always welcome!!! :D Just 1 rule... "Only Do,,, what makes you happy"... Simple,,, to the point... ;)

Putt,,, Curt,,, Toypro and so many others come every year,,, and help out... They don't do it to get publicity,,, they do it cause they love coming... How can I not Love Hosting with that going on??? :bow1:

The Moonshine run is 97.4% what others do,,, not me... We need an Idiot to host it,,, and,,, just call me "Mr Idiot" as I have that all covered... :crackup

Really,,, almost all great ideas come from others... I will always hope we never charge to attend a Moonshine Run... Sure,,, charging would make it way cooler as we could have like a Laser light show,,, and get Neil Young to attend and play "Rockin The Free World"... Man,,, would that be Cool!!! :D

But,,, well,,, since Money screws up everything,,, it has been,,, is,,, and will be free and you get what you pay for... ;) So,,, to see my dream of Neil Young playing??? Imagine me as the person introducing Neil in this Video... :rolleyes:

SHAZZAM!!!

[STindy05]

So,,, to see my dream of Neil Young playing???

WE DON'T NEED NEIL YOUNG!!! WE HAVE DAN AND HIS FAMILY! I listened to them last year and they were great!

True Dat!!! :bow1:

But,,, "IF",,, I ever make the connection ((( I honestly have a connection which I can not speak of))) and get Neil to Moonshine,,, Dan would be the opening act... :D That is till they sign the big $$$$$$ contract from the exposure of playing at Moonshine that is... Then Neil,,, could open for them...

;)

[TOM BOGNAR]

I've got a Kazoo. Hey Terry how about 500 or 600 kazoo's playing. I can see it now.... 600 bikers driving down Terry's street playing our kazoo's & ACL being rode out of town on a rail....:p:

me thinks the monster was just nudged out of his slumber - not out of the cage yet - but definitely starting to wake up.

Alot of people in town already deny knowing him. Don't offend the three or four who will admit it.

Have I told you about my ex wife at the motel?

[STindy05]

The one you sang to last year? I heard about it...but I must have been in my room for the night already....Lucky Me!!!

http://moonshine-run.com

I wouldn't say up, just started. :p: I'm working on it. :rolleyes: I see next year everybody will have to get on Terry and I to get started around August. I actually got the bug to start yesterday. My daughters stomach will tell you all about it. I kept making little adjustments and adding things. Don't forget corrections after publishing it. She just wanted me to cook dinner.

I'll work on it a little each day. I know the biggest day will be when I post the registration page. I'll have to sneak that one in when nobody is watching. :D Of course, I'll just let you know.... I haven't even built the database yet. (Terry said people are asking for it already) We need to make some changes to it. You know the usual more stats for Terry and a few request pleasers. Nothing too serious. I just have to remember all the formulas for the Terry stat sheet. :)

[Austin city limits]

All I know is Jody you saved me about 4,917 hours compiling my "Stats' last year,,, and 12,926 hours and my marriage on up dating the list on all the threads!!! :bow1: :bow1: :bow1: :bow1: :bow1: :bow1: :bow1: :bow1:

I hope everyone realizes that Jody volunteered to do this,,, isn't paid,,, has to put up with my wacky posting,,, my 22,472 wacky questions,,, my complete stupidity on so many things... He works FAR,,, F A R,,, harder on this than I do!!! Shoot,,, I was so stupid last year on the web site he had to DRIVE,,, the 3 hours down to fix my computer!!! :crackup :rolleyes: :o:

As 1 of my friends who knows me said last year... "Its a good thing people must like you because you could screw up a train wreck while trying to pick up a spare in Bowling!!! :crackup

To Jody and all who help,,, you all make the Moonshine Run what it is,,, and make my day,,, EVERYDAY... :bow1:

[Austin city limits]

Jody has the History page up on the www.moonshine-run.com site!!! :bow1:

Maybe before we launch "The List" we might even see if I can badger Jody into getting some pictures up too... I can't push to much since I am worthless on doing anything,,, and Jody is working for free... :duck:

PS. Has Barb gone to weather forecasting school yet?

[Biddyman]

You know Coop, I always tell myself two cheese burgers when I go to Moonshine, but then I get there and think I don't need the extra bun. I end up getting the double and regret it. Its not two flat patties that we are normally used to getting at the local fast food. Its kinda hard keeping two baseball shaped patties on top of each other. :D

Speaking of shaping hamburger patties, will you be helping Helen out this year? Or will it be more empty promises? :p:

Terry, I was just thinking. If I get a forum up and running, no promises, but we would have to start an elephant ear sandwich thread. Not for pre orders, but for people to find others to share it with! hahahah! I was so full I barely ate at Richards that night. Of course, that is if we go there again. The airpport that is.

[bobsblu]

if wanted, I will do the name tags again here in Va. I have "talked" to ACL and it seems to be OK if it is ok with everyone else. Same format...if you want.
There are times I really miss the ST..like passing! It was just going to kill me because, like an addiction, I just couldn't hold the speed down to where I was in control!!! so I hope you will allow me to attend on my shhhhhh!!!

Forgive my ignorance but what is a moonburger?

A Moonburger cannot be explained in text. It must be experienced. It's not just a slab of ground beef, it's nostalgia, ambiance, and friends. Come visit us at Moonshine, we'll help you find it!

I just went for my teeth cleaning on Monday. Had lunch right before, forgot my toothbrush, felt really bad for the hygenist. She gets 97.2% done with the cleaning and says "hmm, how was the beef for lunch?". I almost died in the chair. It doesn't help that she's pretty cute and funny.

I'd like to see New England Win. Its been since 1972 since Miami has done it. Did they have preseason games back then? Cause NE has lost two of those.

I read that offer for ACL and just started laughing knowing how often he goes up there. Isn't that how Moonshine 2006 got started?

I can't believe ACL whips out 3 links to Moonshine and not one of them is his own events webpage. I'm slaving here. Hahahaha!:D Not really, it is still fun! So fun, I decided to start taking classes at night.

I "ONLY" drive the 427 miles 1 way to Green Bay maybe 3 times... ;) I "RIDE" up 1 time a year... :D On the 2006 Moonshine thingy??? I don't know about that???

I can't believe ACL whips out 3 links to Moonshine and not one of them is his own events webpage. I'm slaving here. Hahahaha!:D Not really, it is still fun! So fun, I decided to start taking classes at night

The www.moonshine-run.com link has already been posted on here hasn't it??? Dang,,, well,,, at least I THOUGHT,,, it was!!! :o:

Well,,, it has now!!! :D

http://moonshine-run.com/Moonshine/Default.htm

Jody is/has and I am sure will be doing an AMAZING THING with the Web Site!!! Things are going WAY smoother this year for a couple reasons... We have had a year to get things right,,, and he is doing about 91.9% on his own... After long studying last year we all decided I was the cause for most/all screw ups... :rolleyes: :crackup

I kid you not,,, Jody is an answer to my prayers running this site and cares as much as I do about making sure we keep it free,,, fun,,, and something EVERYONE would want to come again and again... :bow1: :bow1: :bow1:

The Long Distant Riders who now have made a Moonshine Lunch Run shirt a "Must Have"??? I hold no bigger honor than that in my book... :bow1: :bow1: :bow1:

I am getting off here before I start crying,,, again... :o:

[Austin city limits]

ACL, your just a Cheese Head.......:duck:


Yes,,, YES I AM!!! But,,, with my huge arse head,,, I keep the Cheese Head down in the basement in the "Packer Bunker" along with all my Packer stuff on display... :D

[BadgerFan]

I thought there were rules about people from Illinois owning Packer tickets or stock. ;) I guessing you'll be at Kroll's West before the Lions game?

We don't have season tickets but we get to 3 or 4 games a year. My wait for Badger season tickets was a lot shorter than it is for Packer tickets. We put both of our kids on when they were born and they are both in the 70,000's on the list.

Moonshine is marked on the calendar so I'm planning on coming down.

Kroll's West it is!!! I also eat on the South Side along the Fence along the parking lot with a bunch of friends before the game too... So many meals,,, so little time... :D

I am still on the 4 Seat Season Ticket waiting list... I think I am somewhere around 28,000 on the list... Course you know,,, but others might not that each name on the list gets 4 tickets so in reality,,, I am more like # 112,000 on the list... :hyp1: :nuke1: :bigpop:

I do have 2 tickets in the North Endzone 1 row below the aisle... For me??? Almost perfect seats... :bow1:

Glad you are planning on making it to Moonshine!!! It will be great to meet ya in the real world!!! Maybe when I get up there for the playoffs,,, I can meet up with ya then who knows?!?!?! :D

GO PACK GO!!!

[BadgerFan]

I don't have playoff tickets lined up yet but I'm still working on it. As you can guess they are a little harder find than regular season games. Hopefully they have two home playoff games!!!! It would be great to meet up.

In case you didn't know you can sign on up on the Packer website http://www.packers.com/ for a chance to win playoff tickets.

I've never done any type of RTE or bike get together so I'm looking forward to Moonshine.

I just realized, this year without Brighteyesue inf ront of me the trip will be a lot longer.:D

[Coop]

Does that mean you need Al Landry to show you the way? Mixon couldn't find the dinner table if Al didn't give him directions.

[Austin city limits]

Jody/Biddyman has been simply,,, AMAZING!!!

He now just uncorked the Forum thread over on the www.moonshine-run.com site!!! We can now see who needs a room,,, has an extra bed,,, floor space to share... Who is coming up from Dallas and where to hook up with a group riding through!!!

"Better to have and not need than to need and not have"

I learned my lesson last year. A "good" friend told me to use mink oil on my gloves and they would be waterproof.

Had to stop at the rest area and stand in the restroom with gloves on the hand drying thingy.

Well... there is "mostly waterproof" and "Moonshine waterproof". For this run, you need the Moonshine version.

I'm seriously considering shrink wrapping my entire body before I leave.

It was a little cold last year. look at these.

[Muchmore]

this is the second one I put together.

Ok guys let me see if I understand correctly, Moonshine is a 1000 mile ride (for me) in the rain, or better yet freezing rain. The idea is to ride to a town with a population of 2, with no twisties to get a burger. Get back on the bike and ride home 1000 miles in the freezing rain or snow. Does that sound about right? Can I at least get a cheese burger??Fries??

Snow... don't forget maybe snow...
Or thunderstorms, or tornados...
There is one turn on the way to Moonshine... Two if you take the scenic route...
You could do that. "Officially", the Moonshine run is Saturday,
but it is really a 3 day event....


Cheeseburger single, double, triple, yes... Fries no...
This is a healthy meal...
Ya know you want to find out what it is all about..
C'mon over...

Where else can you get a Moonburger that day and see 457 of your closest friends on 317 bikes that some you have never met before???;)

[Austin city limits]

I can't lie... I feel like I am cheating somehow having this ride... It would be worth it to me if I had the money,,, I would PAY,,, everyone to come here!!! :bow1:

Yes,,, I am honest,,, I love this that much... The friendships I have made alone from this will last me a life time... Then,,, I see everyone else from this group meeting,,, and then laughing with the riders from the COG and MTF??? It is the reason I have tears in my eyes almost everyday when this thing starts,,, to 2 months after it is over...

Never been a Wackier idea,,, held in a Wackier spot,,, at a Wackier time,,, with Wackier Weather...

500 Wacko's,,, can not be wrong to endure the Moonshine Run,,, and love it this much... :D

Speaking of moonshine, was at the local library and came across a book by Bill Geist titled "Way OFF the Road" copyright 2007 so it's fairly recent. He devotes 9 or 10 pages to to all that is moonshine and moonburgers. I was pleasantly surprised to see something that seemed so familiar in print. Hope to make it this april.

[NoBull]

How many days till we ride?

[ajaugust]

OK... I am all set....!!!
Got my Moonshine reservations (two rooms).
Got my new tires for the ST.
Got my new PIAA bulbs for the ST headlights.
Got my new battery for the ST.
And, hold on to everything, I got my new Gerbing electric gloves. That means I am now totally electrified from neck to toes, including the palms of my hands, thanks to heated grips.
If I have to, I will consider studded tires... maybe.
Go ahead, mother frickin' nature... bring it on..., I say, BRING....IT....ON....!!

Keep it up, AJAugust... a little more gear like that practically guarantees a nice day in the 60s. I appreciate all the help!

Terry and All,
I've "tweaked" the "for dummies" cover a bit, now seems more fitting....

And YES, I can have some made up. As I said, I have a buddy with a screen printing operation.

I was thinking yellow shirt with this screened on, sound OK? If I can get 25+ orders I can get something going.

[tkresler]

I'd be in, but a yellow shirt isn't my thing... change it to white, black, or gray and put the silkscreen on the back and I'm in.

Tim

[George]

Black shirt, logo on the front. I want people to be able to see it when I'm walking around with my jacket open.

My opinion,

[tkresler]

Black shirt, logo on the front. I want people to be able to see it when I'm walking around with my jacket open.

My opinion,

Fair enough. I just prefer stuff on my back because it seems that a logo on the front emphasizes that things are a little bigger around the mid-section.

Either way I'm in, as long as the shirt isn't yellow. It clashes with my Red bike!

[Putt]

Putt, I was looking at the map and dont see that turn you talked about...

One turn on the exit off the interstate...
one turn off of rt 49, one turn by the crick,
one turn at Hogue Town...

Dang, I erred, 4 turns!!!! Almost enough to make you
dizzy!!!

I LIKE IT!!!

Yes we want some but,,, this will not be,,, "THE" Moonshine shirt unless I have a boat load say so... How many shirts??? Maybe we put this up on the site and let people order it to know how many???

I will e-mail ya and we will yack about it...

I am working on a New and Improved Moonshine shirt as I type...

[sirepair]

Black shirt, logo on the front. I want people to be able to see it when I'm walking around with my jacket open.

My opinion,

Black shirt can be done, but since the "posers" have all that black and leather, I wanted something different. I must have a jillion t-shirts, I don't think one of them is yellow...

To simplify the logistics, it will be best to keep the shirts all the same color (also keeps the price lower)

[tkresler]

cool... pick gray or grey then... either way I'm good. I have to say, I wear the burgundy one from last year, but it's the only color t-shirt I have. When I do laundry I have two piles... white and black/grey. If it's not in one of those piles I use it for waxing the bike or polishing the furniture.

Tim

[Papa]

I rather it be gray than grey,,, just my opinion

I thought I registered... does your name show up immediately or is there a verification process?

[George]

I just signed up, too. Not on the list yet but gotta around 40. Prolly right behind Joe. See a bunch of ya in Casey/Moonshine in about 4 months. :D

[Biddyman]

Joe and George, did you get emails? And did it go to a thank you page?

Maybe the list crashed. I better check. I don't see anything wrong.

My name showed up when I double checked right after I registered. I went back and clicked on the "riders" section.. WOO HOO! I'm in! :burger :burger :hamburger

Just found out that I can't make it this year.:mad: @#%&*#@&%. Good thing I had the parental control on my keyboard turned on. That would have been ugly.

Okay, Joe's name is there now, mine still not. Maybe it's just slow? Joe, did you reapply?

Okay, I did it again and all worked fine. I didn't get the "confirm and continue" page on the first attempt. This time I did, and my name showed up immediately as #44.

Thanks, Jody.

Im registered as well, now I can tell the "BOSS" I have to go no choice...I received an email so I think I did it right..Im thinking of doing this as a SS1000, I might need a witness when I get there. The counter on the home page seems to be going really slow, still a loooong time to go...

[George]

1650 miles for me, maps.google called it 23+ hours from Kingman. I could do saddle sore 1500!

Nah, more fun to run the two-lanes for 3 days instead'a four-lanes for one. :D And prolly add more miles as well.

[acara1796]

The hubby and I are registered and have hotel reservations now. We are only 277 miles away. Silly for us not come. :)

Ok George, rub it in. Yes some of us have to work Thursday and again Monday. Its a bummer how that works..Boss gave me a look when I asked for Friday off to get a burger, three months in advance. He would have me tested if I asked for a full week..:mcrider:

Ya just gotta make judicious vacation sources. When I was full time, I had 5 weeks plus 10 more days "personal" time, plus 7 Holidays. Plenty of time in there to go get a burger.

But yur right, I have a lot of free time.

To fill everybody in, an email goes to Terry everytime someone registers. He had close to a hundred emails when he got home. I didn't get called, so it must not be a bad thing. :D

And ya know,,, for more than 1 reason,,, I needed that laugh more than ever... :(

[Biddyman]

I'm glad you laughed. :D

For everybody else, the subject says 'Hey Terry, I just registered for the Moonshine Lunch Run.'

I figure if he had 723 of those like the number that registered last year. He'd have a good time. :)

Read this post from a fellow Moonie and thought it could not be better said so I post it here... :bow1:

I have been to the last two Moonshine Lunch Runs.

I can honestly say that the ride out there that morning with mxvet57 and the MACK guys in 2006, and my ride home with Seeker last year where two of my most grueling rides in my short time on a motorcycle.

More than survive, I learned a lot myself by going through the cold. On the ride home last year it was slushy wet and even with my gear I was soaked to the bone.

I say all of that because while this trip will not take you to see glorious sites on twisty roads. The people you will meet is the reason for this trip. Riders with accomplishment's like riding coast to coast in 50 hours. Riders who log 100k plus per year. Riders that stop by as they crossing the country in April. The inspiration go places and see new things that you will take from this event is the real reason to go.

It's the Yin and Yang of it....

77 Days to go?

It was -8 degrees here this morning. Can't we make things move along a little faster? How about we skip February completely and move directly to March? (Do not pass go, but do collect your tax rebate.)

[2dogs]

reservations confirmed and I'm counting the days.... I've got so much work to do (farkles) on the ST before I go.



hoping for a snow free trip this year...:cool:

OK, I'm signed in and looking forward to one of those soy burgers that Terry grows on his burger farm. ;)

Casey Comfort Inn has allocated all it's comfort available for Friday, April 11th, but I had no problem securing a room at the Relax Inn in Marshall - although Bob hadn't heard of the "Moonshine Run" and thought it was probably illegal. "AAA" rate prevailed.

See ya'll Thursday evening, weather permitting!

[crazykz]

I'm ready. Of course the weather isn't but I am.

I'm looking forward to it as always.

Ok,,, me thinks we are going to have to have a "New and Improved" plan for Sunday morning Breakfast!!!

2 years ago we had maybe,,, 10 come for breakfast on Sunday morning...

Last year my guess is,,, 20 came... Eating downtown with 20 is no problemo...;)

This year??? So far,,, already,,, with still over 70 days to go,,, we have 63 saying they are staying for Breakfast!!! :crackup

This is GREAT!!! But,,, we will blow up any place within 20 miles if 63 people roll in on a Sunday morning to eat!!! :nuke1:

So,,, My Plan you ask??? :rolleyes: I am thinking of having another "Cook-out" but this time have it at the Comfort Inn... That way we can still eat their Cereal,,, Bagels,,, Apple juice,,, Milk,,, what ever else the Comfort Inn has anyway and use their plates and bowls ya see... ;) How does this sound for a menu???

Sausage Patties cooked on a grill along with Bacon...

Scrambled Eggs...

Sausage Gravy...

Biscuits which you can have a Sausage patty biscuit,,, Biscuits and Gravy,,, or just a Biscuit...

Any Left Over Sweet Rolls from Saturday we can heat and eat... :eat1:

Start serving at 7am,,, and quit around 9am or when the food runs out...

Cost??? Free... Ok,,, we might have a hat to toss a $ or 3 in but way cheaper than a restaurant,,, and we get to all be together,,, and have plenty of room...:D

So,,, Opinions??? Lets hear what ya think!!! ;)

[Shuey]

Sounds like a great way to prepare for head'in back home! I'm for it!! :toot1:

[wcm842]

That's creative, and sounds like great fun.

[TOM BOGNAR]

Maybe we can get the ST-OWNERS banner to Moonshine & we owners can cook up breakfast for all the others that are left on Sunday. I'll volunteer to help cook up some of the grub. I have a 12'x16' traders tent we can set up and cook under if we can get grills.:biker:

Tom has a traders tent. I can verify that it also works. :) I can probably stay to cook also. Waffles anyone? Someone was going to say it anyway so I'll just put it out there myself.

Curt

[TOM BOGNAR]

Curt you saw my small 10'x10' tent. This one is half again bigger. I can also bring the small one too. ACL can sell all his jackets and helmets out of it:p:

BaddBob and another retired Short Order Cook have already volunteered to cook but,,, the more cooks,,, the better!!!:D

The Tent??? COOL!!! But,,, how are you bringing it,,, and ride the bike Tom??? Worst Case??? We set up under the covered part in front of the Motel... We don't need to worry this year... I made an "Arrangement" with Mother Nature,,, we will be fine... :rolleyes:

Looks like someone is usurping my LD award from last year. I'm only 1651 miles from Moonshine, actually pretty easy to beat. :D

Don't know how many miles I'll actually ride to get there, but I'll be there!

[Austin city limits]

You have proven that you will ride the Long Ride,,, in the Moonshine Weather George... I would still not bet against you winning the Long Distant award... Though,,, the trend is,,, the winner from the year before,,, is mostly here again the next year,,, but someone rode farther...

I am sworn to secrecy but,,, I know of at least 1 more from even farther away,,, thinking about coming too... :rolleyes:

No,,, but I hope he does stop by!!! :D

I can say this,,, the rider is from another country,,, but is riding here from his home...

We also have a Mild commitment from a COG'r I became friends with that lives in Burmuda... But Airline miles don't count I don't think... But we might have to have a Ruling on this someday... :duck:

Ok so is the distance to Moonshine only calculated from your origin to Moonshine or can you take a trip to a point and then ride from there to Moonshine?

Looks like someone is coming from British Columbia.
