Moonshine Lunch Run,,, RERUN 2006!!!

[Austin city limits]

Can it Be?!?!?

Has it really almost been 1 year since the Ground Breaking Moonshine Lunch Run was held?!?!?

YES!!! YES IT HAS I SAY!!!

What??? You never made it too Moonshine Lunch Run last year???

WHATS THIS?!?!?

You say,,, you,,, Have never Been to Moonshine Illinois,,, E V E R?!?!?!

SWEET MOTHER OF MOTORCYCLES!!!

How can you look yourself in the mirror and honestly say YOU,,, have never had a Moonburger!!! And you call yourself a "Meat Eater"... Shame on you... Here is a Write up by a friend who serves on a Multi-County Board with me that tells about Moonshine...

Moonshine is FAR MORE,,, than a place to eat a Hamburger!!!

http://sdappert.home.mchsi.com/Moonshine,%20Illinois.htm

OK!!! All Right!!! I am making it "Official"!!!

The Second,,, EVER,,, Moonshine Lunch Run will be on April 8th 2006...

WHAT!?!?! You say,,, you never heard of Moonshine Illinois!!! Well,,, you are in a big need to get there then!!! Best Hamburgers this side of the Milky Way... The town has a population of,,,,,,, 2... They will sell about 400 - 500 hamburgers on a really good day and 200 on a bad day... It is an old time country store that has been there for EVER!!! It has been on every local TV Station/Paper and also St Louis/Chicago/Indianapolis TV and also the Newspapers of those fine cities...

AND,,, Blue Moon who we all love and admire,,, well,,, at least admire,,, 8^) has been here HIMSELF and gave it the Blue Moon "2 Thumbs Up" award!!!

Last year over 30 Bikers from 6 States showed up for the First Ever Event!!! 1 Guy rode 610 miles,,, 1 FRIGG'N WAY to attend!!!

But wait,,, There Is More!!!

Just over a year ago it was featured on the National "CBS Sunday Morning" TOO!!! And,,, THEY had a heck of a time getting there without my help!!!

Where is Moonshine??? Well,,, being that I am a "Local" and go there about every week it is easier to show you,,, than tell you... Honestly,,, GPS can't even get you to Moonshine Illinois!!! Well,,, it might but you will end up on a gravel road and having to stop and ask someone on a tractor how to get there so,,, save face and just let me take you...

My plan is to have everyone come by my house and we will leave from here no later than 11:15 am... You can start showing up anytime after 8 am April 8th... (((Hey,,, it is a Saturday and I might sleep in)))

Show up early at my house!!! Lots of bikes to see,,, people to talk too...

Moonshines Grill is turned on till 12:30 pm,,, SHARP!!! The Doors close at 1pm,,, SHARP!!! Doesn't matter if you are Republican/Democrat/Movie Star/Pope,,, 12:31 you will be eating a cold sandwich,,, and a 1pm you will be standing outside looking in!!! 8^)

I have a BIG shop,,, lots of chairs,,, and free drinks and snacks as long as it is Cola and Coffee you are drinking...

Prizes??? Did someone say Prizes!?!?!?!?

Door prizes for the farthest 3 distances away will be given away...

But WAIT,,, There Is MORE!!!

Everyone that makes the trip I will buy their drink and dessert at Moonshine too!!!

:::::limited to the first 300 people,,, void in west virginia:::::

So,,, get yourself to Casey Illinois... There is only one traffic light in town and it is in downtown Casey... It is at the intersection of Rt 49 and OLD Rt 40/Main Street... Turn east on Old Rt 40/Main Street and go till you see 4th street and start watching... It is just 4 blocks from Downtown... Continue till you can see 5th street as we set on the North West corner of Rt 40/Main Street and 5th street and we are the BIG brick 2 story home with a shop on the extra lot... My address is REALLY 410 East Main St but on the Map below it shows us as really living at 490 East Main St... ????? 100 years ago SOMEBODY screwed up the house #'s is all I can say...

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&address=490+East+Main+St&city=Casey&state=IL&zipcode=62420

So,,, GET YOURSELF READY FOR A MOONSHINE RUN!!!

[Biddyman]

Seiseman, You and Putt will have to meet and then meet me and we all three can ride down.

[seiseman]

Seiseman, You and Putt will have to meet and then meet me and we all three can ride down.

That would be cool. I am going to try to talk my Br-inlaws to come. One from Indy & one from Mokena (Joilet area). I got one in Mokena on the ride last fall. He rides a 79 KZ1300. :eek:

Steve E :03biker:

[sttourer]

I'd like to get in on this one too. Charlie I'm only a couple of hundred miles north of you. Maybe we can ride up together.....

[Austin city limits]

We are over 10 Committed to coming...

We have 2 From Texas...

I am not even thinking about the "Locals" that I promised to invite this year but that will be at least 10 more...

We have about 4 or 5 guys that anytime they hear,,, come from Kentucky I am not counting,,, yet...

We had 30 bikes last year,,, but,,, my guess??? It could be Double that total...

This,,, is going to big... REALLY big!!! :)

This is So,,, C O O L!!! :bow1:

Good Idea Oneshot!!!

If we get him here and he see's all the ST's that look like they will show up we can twist his arm about getting those "Murphlers" made soon for the ST!!!:D

I will e-mail him and maybe you could too??? More strength in #'s you know... :cool:

I live so far out in the sticks I can only hear Dogs bark,,, not Rumors... ;)

well, if he lives 200 miles n. of charlie, it's gotta be about the same from my house. maybe we could get a small group together for the trip.....but a shower?:eek:

[BluesCityST1300a]

I'll plan on the trip. My daugther goes to Eastern Illinois U.in Charleston and I would have the chance to spend some time with her.

[STeve1300]

I'm in! Thank you Terry... It sure looks like you know how to host a party!

[CrashTestDanny]

[SIZE="4"]The Second,,, EVER,,, Moonshine Lunch Run will be on April 8th 2006...

Terry,

I hope you will count me in after reading this.

I've wanted to visit you and go to moonshine for a burger for a heck of a long time.

However, I currently find myself without a rideable ST-1300 or any rideable motorcycle for that matter. My Lincoln is just too big to be disguised as a Gold Wing... maybe the minivan... Anyhow, even if I manage to get a second bike by then (thinking of a dual sport - v-strom or the like while I'm rebuilding te ST), I am not entirely optimistic about my ability to handle the distance by early April due to ongoing back pains.

So, I'm requesting a ruling from the judges on this: May I please come along on this ride in something that has four wheels? I promise to pretend that it's a motorcycle - complete with vroom-vroom sound effects and I also promise to bring the most beautiful wife I have and the two most charming kids y'all could ever hope to meet! :) If y'all want, I could even press them into musical service and have them bring their banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and my guitar and we could have us a mini-concert! (Or we could skip that - I know there's probably more than one here that think bluegrass would be cruel and unusual punishment).

Anyhow, regardless of how y'all decide, for anyone riding a long distance and travelling through the St. Louis area, I'd be happy to offer at least a place to drop a sleeping bag on your way through.

Thanks,

[Austin city limits]

BluesCity~~~

[Austin city limits]

danf~~~

Your family has been added to,,, "The List"... I will wait to see if the others you mentioned are able to make it too... Thanks!!!

[oneshot]

mongos going? cool.

[Austin city limits]

Oneshot~~~

[dbst1300]

Sounds like a good deal to me.........count me in. It is only a 175 mile one way ride for me and my ST.

Dennis

[Austin city limits]

Your "On The List" Dennis!!! And am glad you are able to plan on making it!!! This will be HUGE!!! It will be a great way to yack at fellow riders and see some really cool bikes too!!! Oh,,, and the Hamburgers are worth the trip just as seeing,,, Moonshine is!!!:)

Where are you from Dennis??? Just my curiosity on where all these people are from!!! :cool:

[CrashTestDanny]

We'll bring our instruments and be ready to play a few! The wife only plays the stereo so far - been trying to convince her to take up an instrument for about 17 years now, so she should be playing any day :D

[Austin city limits]

Rocket~~~

On my next entry into "The List" I will change yours to say ST-Owners/MTF,,, Ok???

If you need anything Rocket helping you out that weekend just let me know and I will do what ever I can... Glad you are coming... Man,,, this is going to be WILD!!! I am guessing 10 - 20 "Locals" will be added to the list... We could start a pool on who comes the closest to the "#" of people here in 3 months!!!

[Austin city limits]

danf~~~

This will be great!!! This is very kind of you to offer!!! I mean,,, to be able to go around telling people that you,,,

Were the first group to ever play at Moonshine at the 2nd annual Lunch Run

Someday will be like saying,,,

We Played at Woodstock

:cool:

Thanks again and remember to come early and make yourself at home!!!:)

[Austin city limits]

And you're buying everyone's lunch again, right?

Let me think about it for a minute...:rolleyes:

No...:p:

I mean,,, I am already into 3 door prizes and last year I gave away 3 Gas Cards worth $20,,, $10,,, & $5...

I,,,TRIED to buy everyones Drink and desert but failed on more than a few...

But this year,,, take every name,,, on the list,,, and each will cost me $2.25 as I am buying their Cola and Desert... I might have to hide this fact/$$$ from "The Lovely Cindy" or get real creative on my "Discretionary Fund" :rolleyes:

But,,, this is a BLAST for me!!!

[Austin city limits]

I knew you were joking!!! :)

When I win the lottery I will have a blow out bash and buy Lunch for everyone!!!

Then,,, we will leave Moonshine on a Chartered Jet Fly straight Non-Stop to Tokyo,,, Visit the Zoo,,, and back for a Baseball Game!!!

:::::rimshot::::

Can you tell I need sleep??? :D

[Biddyman]

Even though its one day, does this quailfy as MoonSToc? Tshirts.... "I was at MoonSToc in 2006".

[DennisH]

Danf~~~

Whats more,,, bring along some friends!!! Just give me a word up so as I can keep track of how many will be there to warn Helen on the incoming crowd!!! :eek:

I'll take you up on that. 175 miles east to Moonshine!

Dennis

[oneshot]

no prob charlie. i did a bb1500 a couple months ago, and am in no hurry to do another one soon...i just can't make myself stay on the slab and bypass all those twisties on the way.

[Austin city limits]

Biddyman~~~

Shirts would be GREAT!!! But,,, getting the sizes of all these people?!?!?! :eek:

I can't even get the States some people are from,,, how can I order shirts?!?!?! :D

DennisH~~~

You are on the list,,, or,,, will be after making the rounds of sites,,, and checking me e-mail!!!

Thanks for planning on coming!!!

:bow1:

[oneshot]

But this year,,, take every name,,, on the list,,, and each will cost me $2.25 as I am buying their Cola and Desert... :rolleyes:



good news acl, i have diabetes. that should save you about a buck and a half:D

[STeve1300]

Even though its one day, does this quailfy as MoonSToc? Tshirts.... "I was at MoonSToc in 2006".

Incredible idea... I'll pay $15.00 for one (or more if necessary) and Terry, if you can get a pre-order large enough, I'd bet you could get your cost in at $2.50 per item less... which would cover your expense.....or if you are determined to treat us all to dessert by yourself... more door prizes!!! Is there a Moonshine Chamber of Commerce to help sponsor?

PS... Just have a disclaimer that all t-shirts come in XL.

[Austin city limits]

Dang,,, sorry to hear that Oneshot... Anything on the Menu I can make sure is there for you???

[oneshot]

Dang,,, sorry to hear that Oneshot... Anything on the Menu I can make sure is there for you???

lol...no, you can go ahead and buy me a desert....i'll just let you eat it:D

[Austin city limits]

Steve1300~~~

The Shirt Idea Thingy is,,, worth looking into... I will kick a few rocks over and see what I can come up with... I don't want to make a dime though!!! This is my little,,, well,,, it seems it USE,,, to be little,,, :eek: get together and I LOVE doing it!!! My only problem is,,, like you say,,, Sizes and # of Shirts... Also,,, we have a TON of "Other" bikes showing up rather than ST's... Yes yes,,, I KNOW they are delusional for not riding the ST but,,, we do have to humor them... :shirt1:

I will,,, look into it though... :cool:

Is there a Moonshine Chamber of Commerce to help sponsor?

?????

# 1 ~~~ There is BARELY a town called Moonshine even... The town has,,, 1,,, repeat,,, 1 building... :D

# 2 ~~~ Helen Tuttle owns the 1 building and she makes up the closest thing to the "Chamber of Commerce" Moonshine has!!!

# 3 ~~~ Helen Tuttle who owns this 1 building,,, the ONLY building,,, is the Cook,,, at Moonshine... Her and her Husband with a little help,,, cook,,, EVERY hamburger that goes out the door...

# 4 ~~~ Helen Tuttle makes up exactly,,, 50% of the Chamber of Commence vote as her and her husband are the only 2 residents,,, of Moonshine!!!

# 5 ~~~ Helen Tuttle's part of the Sponsorship for this Moonshine Run will consist of her cooking your hamburger,,, saying the grill is shut off at 12:30pm,,, and telling you to get out at 1pm... :D

[STeve1300]

~~~ Helen Tuttle's part of the Sponsorship for this Moonshine Run will consist of her cooking your hamburger,,, saying the grill is shut off at 12:30pm,,, and telling you to get out at 1pm... :D

That's where DennisH is really from - he just signed up on here to let y'all know when I was down. For that matter, he hangs on Hayabusa.org a bit too, maybe he could get some more 'busa riders to show up so all the ST riders can teach them how to do twisties... :)

I will try but,,, even I,,, have to work sometime...

HEY,,, Don't Laugh!!! I REALLY DO!!! :rolleyes:

[Putt]

Is there gonna be an obligatory shot of all the folks at the local
Dairy Queen for the benefit of some of the Wing riders that
will not be there???

Dang Terry,

You have created a monster....



Putt...

[Austin city limits]

Putt~~~

My Guess??? I said last year when we had right at 30 we would have 60 this year...

Then when I last week got a phone call and 3 e-mails asking me If/When I was going have a Moonshine Run I thought,,, "Wow,,, I might have 80 show up...

Now??? FRIGG'N NOW??? :eek:

My best guess would be about 150... This is from my past experience that you take the total you have after 7 days,,, and double it... We are now on 56 with 5 from Texas,,, 2 from Florida,,, 4 from Tennessee,,, 2 from Alabama,,, 1 from Oklahoma,,, and,,, ::::gulp:::: 2 from Canada!!!

Last years high mileage Door Prize winner Critter with 610 miles 1 way trip here from Minnesota would be about 17th place this year!!!

It might be a monster,,, but I am having a blast so far!!!:bow1:

[Biddyman]

I was giving that some serious thought Jody.. Last year
I stayed at the Comfort Inn, (Just off of I-70+ Mil discount) :)
the night before and the night after, will probably do the same this
year... Will have two whole days to antagonize Terry...


Putt...

[Austin city limits]

Rocket ~~~ Did not say if Wings was bringing the Husband too... If you could can you find out sometime??? Just trying to keep a close idea on the # of people for info for Helen later...

Putt and I might have to come down a day early to help organize. You could turn your shop into a barracks.

Biddyman ~~~ What do I have to pay you guys to help me do that?!?!?!:D

You guys are more than welcome the night before!!! I think of Putt as family and you guys can use my house/shop all you want... I plan on taking who ever to Richards Farm Restaurant Friday night and eat... Hope there is a good turn out for that too... I will assemble as many "1/2 price" coupons as I can by then... :rolleyes:

This is so cool!!! Yes,,, it is a 400 pound Gorilla already,,, and gaining weight everyday... Yes I am spend WAY,,, WAY to much time answering questions and updating list on 4 sites but,,, I am so far,,, having a BALL!!!

I think of this site as my "Home" so,,, if you guys can think of anything we should do/have/not have/attempt I am open to it...

I am going to look into Shirts as has been requested... The idea of having all of them as an XL sounds good... "IF" I have 100 people on my list in March I might get say,,, 50 shirts and have 30 XL,,, and 20 XXL or so... My opinion??? You never throw out a shirt to big,,, you throw out ones that are to small... :rolleyes:

I am going to have MEGA AMOUNTS of Coffee this year!!! I ran out of Coffee about 10 am last year... :(

I will REQUIRE EVERYONE to sign in with,,,

Name - Internet Handle - Motorcycle ~ State/Town - Mileage

Anyone has any ideas that will make this better,,, just Ping me!!!

LOL!!! Hey,,, and all 4 will be there April 8th too!!! That ought to "Thin the List down" shouldn't it Putt!!!

Critter,,, the guy who won the "Long Distance Moonshine Lunch Run" door prize last year at 610 miles 1 way says he is,,, Coming Again!!!

But,,, this year unless he goes the long,,, REALLY long route he will be about 17th place!!! AMAZING!!!

:D

List update coming soon!!!

It takes about 45 minutes going to all 4 sites,,, seeing who is coming,,, scribbling it down,,, checking e-mail,,, scribbling it down,,, answering questions,,, and then going back to all 4 sites to post an update!!!

But,,, I am having a blast!!!

[Austin city limits]

To better understand just how BIG,,, this Moonshine Lunch Run is,,, so far,,, still almost 3 months from when it happens,,, take a look at the States that are already coming!!!

AND,,, don't forget Canada!!! We have 4 from Ontario!!!

New Update!!! We just got a Rider From Michigan!!!

:eek:

[Austin city limits]

We gained Kansas on the Map posted above!!!

Well,,, I wish she would have been able to come Rocket... Don't Give Up On Her!!!

[Austin city limits]

We just topped 90,,, from 18 States,,, and 3 from Canada all,,, in just 7 days with,,, almost 3 months to go!!! THIS,,, IS,,, TOO,,, COOL!!!:bow1:

Last year which,,, I was amazed at how well we had people come had 26 Bikes,,, 30 people,,, from 5,,, States...

My Guess for this year??? 200 people will be at Moonshine and I already told Helen my guess and might be even more and she said,,,

You bring em,,, we will feed em"

Helen is just to cool... :)

[Austin city limits]

We just picked up another Canadian rider for a total of 4 coming to Moonshine from Canada!!! And,,, we picked up another State as we have the first rider from Michigan coming making 19 States are going to be represented so far!!!

Here is another web site that has a write up on Moonshine... I serve on a 7 county board with the person who wrote this about Moonshine and it gives another view of just what we are riding too... 8^)

You would think someone from Iowa would sign up just to fill in that hole in the map!!! Then we'll work on Louisianna ....As for Arkansas.... do they even have internet yet? ;)


(OK, I did my part :p: )

[Austin city limits]

Yeah,,, we had Iowa here last year even!!! We had 5 States here,,, and Iowa was 1 of them!!! Nyener was here from Iowa and,,, shoot,,, He Was The First Person To Sign In Last Year!!! :cool: I thought he would win the Grand Door Prize at 296 miles but,,, Critter BLEW that away with a 610 mile 1 way ride... :eek: :1st:

This year??? This just a guess but,,, Critter IS,,, Planning on coming but he will be about 17th place... :hyp1:

Arkansas is mailing their names in on the list by "Snail Mail" I guess... ;)

::::austin has done his part too::::

Terry,

I just invited another 25 or so bikers from a friend's personal "bikers list". Better gear up for 300 or more, 'cause I'm gonna invite every biker I know! :D

[Austin city limits]

I have at LEAST,,, 20 or so "Locals" that I am sure will be there too!!!

When I first posted this I told a friend that if everything would go right I would have,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 80!!! I am going to double,,, if not triple that,,, at LEAST it seems!!! :eek:

Bring them on danf!!! :cool: Next Moonburger I have I will ask Helen what the "Upper Limit" would be but the other day she said,,, and quote,,,

You bring em,,, I will feed em

:D

[oneshot]

hey terry, it will be interesting to see if there are more STs, connies, or something else there.

maybe i'll donate an st1300 forkbrace as a door prize.....? just a thought....

[Austin city limits]

?????

?!?!?!

!!!!!

That would be cool!!!

We could give it to the ST that came the fathest,,, or,,, put them all in a hat and pull a name!!! You think about it... I mean,,, you might be drinking right now and won't remember this idea later... :D

Then,,,, if we could get Murph up here maybe he would give away something for a Connie!!!:cool:

I would guess,,, Goldwings would be the most... I have no idea... But,,, we are going to pull a bunch of ST's that is for sure!!! With the friends I have over at COG they will be in # too!!! It will be a very interesting day!!!

Thanks for the offer on the brace and you think about it!!! ;) :bow1:

Terry, do you think Helen can actually accommodate 200 people? Your posts lead one to believe this is a "two table" restaurant. Are there restrooms? Trash cans? Drinking water for those in the long line? Tables? I'm sure you and her will go over all the details, but the 20 years of restaurant experience I have (previous career) taught me the importance of planning & checklists. I would be happy to volunteer in any way you need...I still can cook a mean burger...:cool:

Based on the expected turnout, I'll be bringing a sack lunch just in case. With 100-200 more mouths :eek: to feed than usual, poor Helen may be in over her head!

not drinking yet. i'm still workin:rolleyes:

how bout i donate a forkbrace and you figure out how to give it away? wouldn't wanna be unfair to the non-st riders though. let everyone in on it, and if someone gets it that don't ride an st, they can ebay it, make somebody a deal at the ride, or trade it back to me for something else.....? whaddaya think?

[Biddyman]

You have to remember this place serves 400-500 burgers daily. A bad day is 200.

[STeve1300]

Wow...Nevermind......I had no idea. I was picturing some 50ish lady with a spatula in one hand and a tongs in the other, serving maybe a dozen burgers on a good day....Go Helen!

As Biddyman said (((Thanks for filling in Biddyman,,, 3 months out and you are already helping out!!! :) ))) Helen has served 529 hamburgers before,,, and 125 Bikers all in 1 group and had 3 more smaller groups that day too!!! That was the day of the 529 served...

I once asked the Pepsi guy as he was bringing in bottles if he just hit Moonshine every other time... He looked puzzled and said no... I said,,, "Well,,, being it is Moonshine and all,,, I thought maybe you didn't stop as often"... The Pepsi guy laughed and said he sold more bottles at Moonshine than any other place he Stopped!!! :eek: I started watching and counting and,,, EVERYBODY,,, gets a bottle of pop... Some don't eat,,, but all seem to drink... On the day they sold the 529 hamburgers??? They sold over 1,200 bottles of pop!!!

Lots of Picnic Tables out in a yard right beside the Store... Inside the store is some old church pews facing each other... You walk in,,, and get your bottle of pop as you enter,,, work your way back to the back and order,,, find a seat,,, or head outside... Helens helpers will call your name and you can load up your hamburger as you want it and you get served on a tin can lid about the size to cover a 2 gallon bucket... Napkins are manditory... :D

The way you guys have offered to help,,, really does get to me... I can't thank you enough!!! If I have some projects I will sure tell you... But,,, man,,, you guys are just to nice to a guy like me... :o:

I went to Moonshine for my Weekly Moonburger and saddled up to Helen and told her that I might be having 200 bikers come down to Moonshine with me... She smiled and softly said,,, "Well,,, isn't that great... That would just work out fine" I then said now,,, are you sure I shouldn't set a limit on how many??? She said "You Bring Em,,, I Will Feed Em" Said she would just get enough volunteers from the local people to help out and any # I bring as long as I can tell her real close the # a few days ahead so she can have Meat/Buns/Ketchup/Pickles/Onions/Cola/Chips/Ice Cream in stock she will feed us...

I will give her a # every time I am down... But that is why I am spending LOTS,,, of time making sure I am keeping track as best I can...

Helen is a great lady... She LOVES that we are coming,,, and honestly,,, truly,,, wants to share the experience with everone...

Man,,, you guys are just too great... Putt and Biddyman are coming down a day early to help out... I never asked them,,, they just said they are coming... STeve1300 offers to help cook or anything else we need!!! And now,,, your offering a item to be given away worth $$$!!! This is just amazing... :bow1: :bow1: :bow1:

I would be honored and indebted to you for such a kind offer Oneshot... We will offer it to everyone unless I get some other stuff to give away too for the "Non Believing Non ST Riders"... :rolleyes:

:::::austin starts to rub his chin in deep thought about Murph taking care of the COG side and others... Could even get him as the "Corporate Sponsor" :rolleyes::::::

I am giving away 3 Door Prizes but,,, with this crowd it almost seems like a joke giving away what I was thinking about doing... I was thinking about giving away 3 "Speedway" Gas cards like last year of $20 - $10 - $5 to the 3 farthest riders... Small potato's for such a big bang blowout like this... I mean,,, We have 4 so far from Canada,,, 5 or 6 from Texas as the farthest of those is a woman from Lubbock!!! Wouldn't it suck if you rode 1,128 miles and DIDN'T WIN,,, a Door Prize?!?!?! :coolit:

But,,, I already know,,, I am going to have to rent a $50 Port-a-potty as "The Lovely Cindy" will have my head if 300 people line up to use our Bathroom in the house!!! :nuke1: :Chair1: :shtf1: :box1: :evil: :cop2: :spank1:

Again,,, Thank You,,, Thank You,,, THANK YOU ONESHOT and Others!!! I am over whelmed... :o:

[Putt]

I can see it now... This little bag hanging over the door, with a sign that says:

"These used to belong to the LAST guy that brought 200 bikers down here to eat...."
Good luck Terry... :crackup

If the weather cooperates I would be willing to ride down the day before but I'll probably be there late on Friday because I will probably have to work a full day, then get through Chicago on a 5 hour trip to get down there.

Any place I can pitch a tent once I'm down there?

Curt

[Tiny]

Guess I'll have to come, seeing as I have the new bike and really need to see other's seat choices before I make a decision. Guess I'll make FriendSTock, too since I already had 2 weeks off in that time-frame to attend SEVROC (Vulcan owners rally in Maggie Valley, NC). Damn.

Kurt ~~~ You can pitch it in my Back/Side yard... OR,,, you can just sleep in the Shop... I am reserving the "Presidental Suite" on the fold-out sofa in the basement for any Foriegn leaders/President... If not taken by one of them,,, I will have it open up too... ;)

If its cheaper to Chicago, you could put her in a trunk and Curt could use that shelf and tie it down and bring her when he comes down. :crackup

I would be willing to pick up/take back to OHare so if that ends up being the choice just let me know. I'll have to change my packing situation if I know I'll have a pillion on the down and back.

Sorry,,, in the mad update mode last night I both forgot to respond to that question and responded to Curt as if I had no Idea who he was in an e-mail... (((Hey!!! I know him as CrazyKZ not just Curt!!!)))

The LDriders are more that welcome to come!!! Could you,,, by chance being that you ARE,,, a member in high standing over there,,, well,,, at least they know you... :D Could YOU update me,,, or,,, get them to e-mail me they are coming??? AND,,, if you can make sure they tell me the State they are from,,, and that they are from the LDriders??? Or,,, whatever you think is better is fine too...

I do need to hire someone to add up the miles each is riding to Moonshine,,, from what State,,, and which group/group's and crunch those #'s into a formula on who would be

"Mr/Mrs/Ms Moonshine Lunch Run 2006 Rider"!!!...

This sounds like a job for an engineer,,, but then,,, we wouldn't be able to understand it... :rolleyes:

Use MS S&T or another mapping program... Plot the route(s), it comes up
with the miles.... Or, use S&T to draw a radius from Casey/Moonshine
that would show farthest distance, but not actual farthest driven miles..
Decisions, decisions...

Putt..

[Trashman]

My father-in-law and myself will be making the moonshine run. He'll be on a Royal Star and I'll be on the faster :biker: ST.

[oneshot]

trashman, do you know the route you're planning to take?

[Trashman]

Not yet just got the commitment that he would make the trip, any sugestions on routes would be welcome.

[oneshot]

i've not figured out the way we're going either. maybe up i-30 to hwy 7 in arkansas, then 2 laners from there....?

[Putt]

There really is a Moonshine...

Putt..

[Austin city limits]

Well,,, unless we get some "Corporate Sponsors" I am afraid the door Prizes I am giving away will be Speedway Gas Cards to the tune of $20 - $10 - $5...

BUT,,, you WILL win the Congratulations of others,,, admiration from those in attendance,,, a hearty hand shake,,, and a robust pat on the back!!!

Me,,, I think I would go for it... :cool:

[number9]

I am always down for a great burger from a mom-n-pops type place. Count me IN and I *may* bring the wife (weather dependant of course - don't like to ride in snow).

[Austin city limits]

Your on "The List" Number9!!!

And,,, this is the Ultimate,,, "Mom & Pop" place... Mom and Pop will both be cooking the Moonburgers... Helen Tuttle Owns Moonshine and Roy also runs a Bulldozer as his second job but,,, Roy is getting old enough he might have "Retired" from Bulldozing... And,,, they both sleep upstairs above the store too!!! Is that a Mom & Pop or what!!! :)

Here is a Write up by a friend who serves on a Multi-County Board with me that tells about Moonshine... Not sure if I posted it here or not... With all the List Updates,,, I will have to make another list,,, of all the list,,, I have not made a list of yet... :rolleyes:

Cool Read!!! Moonshine is far MORE,,, than a Hamburger... :)

http://sdappert.home.mchsi.com/Moonshine,%20Illinois.htm

[Putt]

It's getting closer......


Putt...

[CrashTestDanny]

UPDATE!!! UPDATE I SAY!!!

"The List" just went to # 117!!!

Make that now,,, 117 people,,, from 19,,, repeat,,, 19 frigg'n States!!! And now,,, we have 5,,, repeat,,, 5 Canadian Riders Coming!!!


And don't forget! I'm bringing a bluegrass band with me!

[Austin city limits]

True Dat!!! I will have "Another" thread to have strictly "Updates" on as the date gets closer... The Bluegrass Band will be one of the updates!!! :)

Thanks again!!! This is just too Cool!!!

[number9]

They are liable to lock the doors when they see 122 motorcycles pull up outside. They may not have enough food to feed that many.

[Austin city limits]

They have cooked 529 Hamburgers in 1 day,,, and that is not all the cook,,, but,,, it is about 85% I would say...

My Guess now???

I have just signed on,,, have not read my e-mail,,, have not checked any place but here... But,,, I KNOW,,, I have at least 3 more today singed up... How??? I ALWAYS,,, DO!!! ;)

There are about 70 days to go till April 8th...

"IF" we average just 3 a day for 70 days,,, + what we have on the list??? We are looking at 350 people,,, to eat a hamburger,,, in a town,,, with a population of 2... :eek:

I have decided not to advertise this local... I think it is more important to let the guys riding in from Texas/Canada/Florida/Wisconsin/Missouri to have the fun... Sure,,, I can assure you the news is OUT about this here... I am hoping to hold the local crowd down to maybe,,, 30 - 50...

If I put this in the paper,,, and called the surrounding newspapers???

SWEET MOTHER OF MOTORCYCLES!!! It really would be the Woodstock of the Motorcycle riding,,, hamburger eating experience...:cool:

UPDATE!!! UPDATE I SAY!!!

Did I say 3???

Well,,, it was 9 more people joining the list!!!

So,,, lets just say we average 5 per day... 70 days,,, = 350 more!!! WE WILL HAVE 500 PEOPLE,,, riding from EVERYFRIGG'N WHERE,,, to eat a hamburger,,, in a town with 1 Store,,, with a population of 2,,, that is called Moonshine?!?!?!

TOO COOL!!! TOO COOL!!!

[Austin city limits]

Ok,,, tell me what you think... I think about 200 bikes at my house would be,,, manageable,,, but over 200??? :rolleyes:

I am trying to come up with a plan to keep everyone from getting to Moonshine at 11:32 pm,,, and have 1 hour to Park/Work your way inside/Work your way to the back to order/Get your Pop...

My plan,,, as it is forming in my head at least... 8^)

# 1 ~~~ People start showing up at my house... Register them on what they are riding,,, where they are from,,, yack at them and enjoy the company...

# 2 ~~~ Big crowd appears and about 9 or 10 am I will ask if some are ready to head to Moonshine... If 40 are,,, they can head down and about every 15 - 30 minutes or so send another group down to Moonshine with either riders who KNOW,,, FOR SURE,,, how to get there or Locals leading the way that do...

# 3 ~~~ This will spread out the massive line trying to get ordered,,, and wouldn't you rather spend more time in Moonshine than parked up at my house???

Repeat,,, I want everyone/anyone to come to my house and sign in,,, get some coffee and snacks,,, kick the tires and yack here... Then,,, when/if you are ready,,, head to Moonshine in smaller motorcycle "Convoys" the 12 miles to Moonshine...

What does that sound like to everybody???

Ideas are welcome if anyone is good with "Flow Charts"!!!

[oneshot]

how bout you take a ride with a few of the folks that get there early, and show them the way to moonshine? then we can all ride back and each one lead a group back at the 15-30 min intervals.....just a thought

[Austin city limits]

Good Idea!!! I can also use some locals to take them down...

My thought was,,,

40 or so are hanging out,,, drinking Coffee,,, eating donuts at my Garage about 9:30 am... Some have rode 900 miles or more and I think I can speak for everyone here when I say,,, are getting tired of Austin's endless ramblings :o: :rolleyes: and want to head to Moonshine...

Austin stops yacking,,,

:::: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!?!?!

Just long enough to ask who wants to head South the 12 miles to Moonshine... 22 say yes...

:::::Rocket Man decides that just 3 more cups of Coffee,,, and 2 more Apple Fritters and he will have stored enough energy to ride non-stop to dallas,,, that day,,, and wants to stay and power eat at the shop another 45 minutes:::::

Austin then ask if any of the 22 can,,, FOR SURE,,, without a doubt,,, find Moonshine??? If,,, he has someone,,, for sure,,, I put that person on lead and send them out... If not??? A local or as you said,,, a "Pre-Moonshine Ride Qualified/Checked out" leader will be assigned...

[STeve1300]

Terry, just some fun with numbers.....

215 single file riders spaced 25' apart, would form a line over a mile long.

IF you had 425 riders, and we left single file, spaced 150 feet apart (3 city lot lengths) the line would streatch the 12 miles to Moonshine.

425 x 150' = 63750'. Divide that by 5280' in a mile = your 12.07 miles!!! WOW

[Austin city limits]

I measured the places to park in front of my house on this block... About 900 ft total... Grade School is also there on our block at the end and has a fairly large driveway...

Terry - you should create a Moonshine Lunch Run website. That way you can update the list and important information in only one place. Just post the link on the different boards.

Good idea,,, but I am not even talented enough to pick my nose left handed... :rolleyes: And my left hand has more talent than all my Web talent combined!!! ;)

I hang on the COG,,, MTF,,, and here anyways... and,,, that is about 90% of where the people are signing up on... I swear,,, when I posted this,,, 3 minutes after I did a friend called me and I told him I was hosting another Moonshine Lunch Run... He asked,,,

How Many You Expect???

My guess,,, and I thought I might get laughed at for this big # was,,, 80 people... :o:

This might be an idea to head towards next year though... Yeah,,, there will be,,, a Moonshine Lunch Run # 3!!! :cool:

[Austin city limits]

Not even 1!!! :o: But,,, Putt has at least a few!!! He has posted like 2 on this thread...

But,,, as I type this I had a great guy send me pictures of the Moonshine run last year on CD... I will break those out later tonight... You want me to post them on here???

From last year.. Moonshine #1

Just figured with a couple of pics from last year, surely someone could help get an event website published.

Yeah,,, I might be able to get that,,, if I had friends... :rolleyes:

Good friends I might add... ;) :)

:::::everything,,, reminds austin of a story,,, you starting to get the picture now:::::

In this age of "Health Departments",,, even Clark County has strict rules about sanitation,,, and attached bathrooms... But,,, Moonshine,,, gets,,, "Over Looked" every year... The Inspector,,, and the Department knows they would be shot,,, dead/office burned/funding cut/lose their job/get speeding tickets setting still if they closed Moonshine...

Once a lady came in from Chicago/Springfield and told Helen that if she did not have a bathroom this lady was shutting down this Store this instant... Helen asked,,,

"Now how and why are you going to do that??? I have a bunch of people driving a long distance coming in and they are wanting fed"

The Springfield/Chicago lady said all she had to do was make a call and it would be done...

A friend eating there said,,,

"You have about as good of a chance doing that here,,, as you have as getting a phone signal from here"

The Lady checked her phone,,, no signal... My friend then went on to say,,,

Do me,,, You,,, and the Police a favor,,, and eat a hamburger,,, set here for about 1 hour,,, and then you tell me what you are going to do...

The lady ordered... Sat over by the cash register,,, and watched,,, all the people,,, and more people,,, come in,,, from EVERYWHERE... After about 1 hour,,, she got up,,, paid her bill,,, thanked the lady who took her money,,, and left smiling... Never heard from her,,, Chicago,,, Springfield again...

Oh,,, and good news!!! The phone signal has improved a little and the Health department employees eat at Moonshine about 2 times a week... So,,, you have nothing to fear... They LOVE,,, Moonshine!!! 8^)

Terry, do you know what Hotels are in your area? Not sure your wife signed up for 170+ house guests. Also you can add my father-in-law and myself to the Friday pre-moonshine dinner if that is open to all.

[sttourer]

There are several riders (including myself) that will be staying here:

Comfort Inn (http://www.choicehotels.com/ires/en-US/html/HotelInfo?hotel=IL417&sid=) (IL417)
933 SR 49 SR 49 & I-70 , Casey, IL, US, 62420
Phone: (217) 932-2212

It's a stone's throw from the Friday night dinner.

[Trashman]

Thanks Pat, I will go ahead and book a room.

[STeve1300]

Thanks Pat, I will go ahead and book a room.

I hope I'm not too late, but Comfort Inn has a wierd internet discount option that even though you're booking on the internet, only gives the 10% off when you select "Internet Discount" from a drop down menu on the left side of the web site.

Steve its almost upto 200. Ha

[Austin city limits]

Yup,,, it is over 200 but,,, I am beat and can not handle the update tonight... I will update tomorrow I hope... We went to bed at 2 am Friday night... Spent 7 hours at the car show,,, met up with some more friends Saturday night,,, got to sleep at 2 am... Then shopped today,,, and drove home while my 2 friends took turns sleeping... Me,,, V E R Y,,, tired... :hyp1:

Greenup about 9 miles West from Casey has 2 Mom & Pop Hotels too that the one that sets just south of Route 40 is called the "5 Star"...

It is just $25 a night and might be in the long run as cheap and warmer option than even camping out!!! I have been told the rooms are ok,,, but I have not myself seen them so,,, I will try to get them checked out...

I did it over the internet. First I checked what the usual rates were, then clicked "enter your special rate ID" hyperlink, typed in the HSTA code, and it went thru a couple of screen changes. Then you have to click on "SOS" (?) discount type. (I think it stands for significant organization savings) You're new lower rates will appear.

Just book another room with the HSTA discount, then cancel your original.

Between the 20% off I got from Heat-Troller http://www.heat-troller.com
on my wifes new heated jacket liner and the motel discount, I've saved more money than my annual HSTA membership cost!

The local Casey City Park has Camping available!!!

I talked to "The Man" and he said he would have the Showers and the Restrooms opened which are located right where you camp...

It is a very pretty Camp sight and is well lite,,,

Fire rings for the Camp Sites,,,

Secure,,,

Water and electric is available,,,

Only about 6 blocks from "Moonshine Ride Central" (((My House which you can all hang out at all Weekend)))

I THINK,,, it is $6 or so a night too...

I will have to start "ANOTHER",,, thread and see how many are wanting to Camp at Casey that Weekend... :rolleyes:

Also,,, if not your cup of tea,,, there is a KOA out at the Interstate too...

Nothing planned as of this date but,,, I am open!!! I was thinking about setting up something but unsure where yet...

Everyone can hang out all day at my shop and we can just see how many we have and ride to eat Saturday night... Some will be riding in the area but,,, we do need to have something in the planning stage at least now... That way,,, they can plan to meet up back here or at the place we decide...

We have a good place with a great view to eat at about 16 miles away to the East... It is inside a State Park with a very cool 5 mile road arond the park... Good food,,, cheap too... We have a local place to eat good food 5 blocks away too... We could always go back to Richards too... I will ask some people a place to plan on...
