Endobob Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Signed up and reservation at hotel made - arriving Sunday night. Looking forward to the fellowship and riding associated with another UN and trip west! Link to comment
MikeRC Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Signed up. Only have the KLX in the garage right now and the way this winter is going I can't even get my trailer to the main (plowed) roads to pick up a new(ish) road bike. May have to test-ride any scoot I find at the Best Western with keys in the ignition. Please read carefully any release-of-liability document I ask you to sign Arriving early so I can spend a couple of days riding before Lester chains Linda and me to the Welcome/Registration desk.

Kathy R Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 IN Might be there on my DL650, or in a new car with a dog, or in an airport rental car. Haven't decided. Plenty of time to ponder. Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 IN Now to decide what bike to bring. Maybe I'll bring both in case there is some dual sport off roading to be found. Link to comment

Lester V Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I've gone looking for help on this one. Stand by. The lady we are dealing with has just gone home at 5 pm pst Link to comment
Lester V Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Marco, here is what the saleslady said re you're query. "The link to the hotel on the website goes to the hotel’s website. There is a reservation request form on this site (http://www.uinnmoscow.com/reservation-form2.aspx). They can simply include BMW Unrally – Canuck and we will contact them to get their reservation taken care of (and make sure they have a registration number)" Good luck and let us know if this helps.

KTM Doug Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I tried online. It told me dates were booked and would not let me register. I then called. Done in a couple minutes. I'm waiting for my email confirmation and number. Link to comment

I did that a few hours ago now. Thanks. I haven't heard back, but it's early . If I haven't heard by tomorrow morning, I'll just give them a call. I think the online "confusion" (for lack of a better word) is that there's more than one link on the hotel's website to the reservations section and only one of them (the one you linked to) allows you to use "Canuck" (great code, by the way). If you use their other reservations link, it will simply tell you that the rooms are booked for Monday through Wednesday. Link to comment

I meant to call them today with the same question, but I totally forgot; I love it when I forget to do something and then someone else does it for me. Thanks Kathy!

(Did you tell them how big your dog is? 'cause if they're ok with him, my aussie will look tiny!) josh I learned to never say that I was bringing a pony Nigel is a "Therapy" dog. That is a magical word that puts hoteliers at ease about what they can expect from his behavior. Their reply to me was typical in that they used the word "Service" in place of therapy. Most people confuse the two terms. The bottom line is he will never get on furniture, will not bark, will not make a mess and will be gentle and friendly with everyone. He's an outstanding guest. When I booked Salida that UN hotelier said no to a dog, even though I explained that he was special, having passed muster as a certified therapy dog. So, I booked nearby in another motel. During the next couple of days, as I hung out on the grounds of that UN motel, those owners fell in love with him. Nigel and I ended up moving over for our last night in Salida. Their original resistance revolved around the fact that he's over 100lbs. We had a chat about how small dogs, in general, bark and get on furniture, so they aren't the ideal guests. Large dogs, if calm and well behaved, are generally more desirable. Too many hoteliers mistake size as a useful determinant. If any of you folks need therapy he works on the barter system; you give him a pet, he gives the therapy. Your blood pressure and cares will melt away.

gottago Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 In. The only reason I'm coming is to finally meet Nigel, oh and to see everyone too. Link to comment
EffBee Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 In. The only reason I'm coming is to finally meet Nigel, oh and to see everyone too. Nigel is cool. A real love of a dog. As for the rest of us you're going to meet, there are some serious questions. Link to comment
SageRider Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm IN. Arr. Monday, Depart Friday. Reservations made. Won't be on 2 wheels. I'll need LOTS of Nigel therapy!!!! Be great to see y'all again! Link to comment

EffBee Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 "As for the rest of us you're going to meet, there are some serious questions" Speak for yourself old timer! Pretty much thought I was. And a few others. I mean, being that it's in Idaho, I figure Wurty's gonna show up. So lock down your daughters, protect your wives, hide the liquor and scatter the mutton. Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You inferred that only the infamous "Nigel" was cool. I find that offensive to the rest of us cool folks. Or did I misinterpret your statement? Besides, I need to someday get to 1000 posts before I croak. I see a few old friends signed up already. This is gonna be "Cool"! Link to comment
MikeRC Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 IN Now to decide what bike to bring. Maybe I'll bring both in case there is some dual sport off roading to be found. Doug: You may want to look at this thread on "the other forum": My Idaho I will admit to no gravel experience in Idaho but certainly there is lots of choice fairly close to Moscow with the St Joe and Nez Pearce - Clearwater National Forests so close.

Kathy R Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You inferred that only the infamous "Nigel" was cool. While I have never thought of him as such, he's more than willing to live up to that definition. Be on the look out for 106lbs coming your way. Link to comment
Bob Palin Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 will not bark, will not make a mess and will be gentle and friendly with everyone. LOL, you know my two horrors will be there right? There will be chasin ' and barkin' in the parking lot I'm sure. We are camping though so the hotel doesn't have to worry about us. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I will not soon forget Nigel and Biff turning the parking lot into a Nascar oval. Nigel is dying to meet Frika, but he has a real bro-mance going with Biff. This is what greeted folks at the And he wants to see Link to comment

Bob_Minor Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is everyone aware the BMW Riders of Oregon is holding their annual rally in John Day from June 12th-15th? Depending on your route it's about 350 miles from John Day to Moscow. Should be a nice back-to-back. Link to comment

scout6 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Oh, I want to go, but there's been too much snow. At this point in time, I'm not sure how far into June school must go! So, not in yet. Link to comment
beemerboy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Semi-in. Started a new job late last year and have much work on my hands but will definitely be in need of some road time and seeing some smiling faces (especially yours, Ron) from past UN's. Add to that the fact that FB owes me many adult beverages and it'll be hard not to figure out a way. More to follow......... Link to comment
Bob Foley Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 90% in at this moment.. What to throw a idea out. Would anyone be interested in making a Banff, Jasper loop after the UN?? Link to comment

EffBee Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 OK. Just trying to take a move out of Wurty's playbook. The guy owes me so many adult beverages if he ever cleared the books I could die of alcohol poisoning. Link to comment
szurszewski Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Registered - the Mrs. also. This will be her first any kind of rally - un or otherwise - and my second.

Al_B Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Josh, I'm glad to hear that you've convinced your "better half" to join you at the Un. We'll try to make her feel welcome. I've been to 5 previous Un's and I've felt welcome despite the fact that Deb and I are both on Hondas . This crew is pretty easy to get along with (especially if you supply them with adult beverages ). Link to comment

She will be glad she came. I'm sure she'll have a great time - and it's a good excuse for me to spend the money on a hotel room (while Laura has happily spent many nights - sometimes for weeks or months at a time - camping with me, given the choice she'll pick indoor plumbing and nice bed just about any day). ps - you have earned points with our five year old by adding his favorite emoticon to your post.

SK_in_AB Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hoping to confirm attendence in next two weeks. Lots of scheduling issues - new job, trip to see daughter in July and a planned NWT trip in late August on my new mount (F700)....I know stop whining Anyway Idaho is a short 8-10 hours from Calgary so I will try and do 1-2 days, maybe just the dinner night and not the full UN.
