David Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Quite some time ago we printed up some color business cards with bmwsporttouring.com on them. There's also a blank spot where you can write your real name and/or username. We've been giving them out at events and with purchased t-shirts. There's no charge for them, so feel free to grab a few while you are there. I use them all the time at stops when striking up a conversation with people. It's a convenient way to let people know about the web site. On a related note, I'll miss seeing you all. Have fun and ride safe. I'm hoping it's a very memorable and relaxing time for each of you!

PhillyFlash Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Going to miss riding with you next week, David. Sorry that you can't make it. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I'm all over free stuff and these are actually a handy item to have in the glove box etc. Thanks! Aren't you flying in and renting a vespa or something? Link to comment
David Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 Aren't you flying in and renting a vespa or something? Thought about it! (The flying in--not the vespa.) I'm going to be kicking myself. I hope nobody puts up any nice Ride Tales or pictures! I can't be gone 9 days in a row right now, which is the minimum it would take. Having soaked up Gunnison and Eureka Springs, I know what I'll be missing. Link to comment
Laney Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I can't be gone 9 days in a row right now, which is the minimum it would take. Are you sure??? Packing -- 15 mins. Flight from Nashville to nearest big city to rent a Vespa, or even a real bike -- 1 day, with time leftover to pick up bike. Big city to Cody -- 2 hours, if you get a real bike. Multiply by 2, then add whatever time you spend in Cody... Hey... That's only 5 days! Can you be gone 5 days? Huh? Link to comment
Kathy R Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Can you be gone 5 days? Huh? Yeah, Can you be gone 5 days? Huh? Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 David, I do believe the ladies have spoken! 'case you didn't hear them, "Can you be gone 5 days? Huh?" Ed Link to comment
David Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? I wish. I thought about flying in, but decided that if I did it, I'd want to be on my own bike. You all have fun. I'm going to log in as each of you and post really nasty stuff. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 You all have fun. I'm going to log in as each of you and post really nasty stuff. Since when did you forget we could make your life a living hell? Hmmm? Come on David...get in yer leetle plane. I know someone who'd lend you a bike. Come on...git going... Link to comment
PhillyFlash Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 If he'd buy a bigger plane, he could load his bike on it and fly to all the UnRallies and rides. Sure beats pulling a trailer. Link to comment
Laney Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Come on David...get in yer leetle plane. I know someone who'd lend you a bike. Come on...git going... Yeah, come on, git going. Maybe I'd let you borrow mine -- just think, it's much prettier and faster than that GS. Link to comment

SageRider Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 ...I thought about flying in, but decided that if I did it, I'd want to be on my own bike.... David, What would the overweight luggage fee be if you just rolled your bike on the plane and strapped it in a seat??? Link to comment
Laney Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hey, that's cool! When did you get a new bike? I thought you still had the RS! Why David, when I referred to "faster and prettier than your GS" I was thinking of little Jake. Comparing my RS to your GS... For both the visual and performance, words are simply inadequate Link to comment

I thought you meant he should buy a bigger plane so that he could pull a trailer with it. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 What did I miss? What did you do now, Phaedrus? Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I still think we might not only see David but Jake as well. This is something I posted in ride planning....enjoy! "This is my conspiracy theory for Cody. Jake and David Baker fly into Salt Lake City and rent bikes as David did a little over a year ago at Torrey. The rental people refuse to give David a gold wing again due to the fact he brought the last one back with little or no tread on the tires and mysterious scrapes on the hard parts down low. Instead they force him to take a F650GS. He is known to state just before leaving the dealership "Hey! It's a GS so it's all goooood!". Jake on the other hand somehow draws the short straw and gets an 883 Harley Sportster. The whole way to Cody Jake is seen drafting David just to be able to make the speed limit. David and Jake arive in Cody much to the suprise of the Sport Touring crowd and a good time is had by all. Well, thats my theory. See you guys at Cody! Shawn" Link to comment
David Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 You have an active imagination! If we come to Cody, it'll be in the plane, but we won't rent bikes. We'll just buzz you all repeatedly and then compare GPS top speeds at dinner! Link to comment
