I hope to be IN, but with all the life changes a-coming over the next 8-10 months, I can't commit for a while. Gotta finish school ... Gotta finish school ...

 

Tentatively IN.

I am still trying to figure out how I will pull this one off. Call me, Want to be IN!

I did some research though and I found that there a few breweries in Bozeman MT which is a mere 150 miles from the UN site.

Here are some links.......

 

Bozeman Brewing Company

Bridger Brewing

406 Brewing Company

Montana Ale Works

 

 

Red Lodge has their own brewery.

OK. Now that I know about the Red Lodge brewery any excuse not to go is really lame. Just checked google maps and Red Lodge is only 9 hours from home. And late July is much better for me than June or missing the Calgary Stampede July 8-17.

 

So I am in!!!!

 

This will be my fIrst UN since UnX in LIttle Switzerland so I am way overdue to join you.

Looks like Sheila and I may well be in :)

Wow, better keep up on that one.

 

BTW the closest international airports are Salt Lake City and Calgary. Motorcycle and car rentals available from both. Billings, MT is serviced from Seattle, Denver, Salt Lake City and Minneapolis. Can get LHR -> SEA/MSP -> BIL with just one stop and then a 1 hr ride/drive to Red Lodge.

Thanks for the info Mike. I still need to sort out a couple of things this end to be certain, but it looks fairly likely.

Well I might as well move west to be with Whip and Louise as much as I'm going to be there in 2016! :wave:

 

In May I'm a delegate to the World Ranger Congress in Estes Park, CO, then in July it's back to CO for Butt Lite VIII at the beginning of July and then off to MT for the UN Rally later in the month.... really hoping I can get all the time off!!!

Now I just have to figure out how to get there and back in a reasonable mount of time.

 

When he's not looking, hook a tow line to the back of Keith's GS. *WARNING* HTFO. :rofl:

I was sitting drinking my coffee this morning, house is quiet, everyone else is still asleep. I went and started to play around with routes around Red Lodge. OH BOY is this going to be fun! I am sure there will be routes put up but it was fun looking around.

Is it too early for an excited chatter thread?

Awwwww, come on, it's just a hop-skip-and a jump from Joisey. You can do it!! And just think how good that scotch will taste when you get there!!

Over 2,000 miles each way, after being at the MOA rally just 2 weeks earlier. I'm thinking of time off available.....

Screw the MOA Rally and bring the entire clan to Red Lodge and Yellowstone.

 

Who loves ya baby!

First let me reintroduce myself. I have been a member since very early on have done a couple Unrally’s: Gunnison, Cody, BBQ at the Redmond BMW national rally, and several Tech Days including one I hosted in Morgan Hill Ca . Some where along the line life got in the way of these kinda of events, not a bad thing just life. The Point is I’m IN will be leaving from Lopez Island Wa. heading over Hwy 20. Plan to pick my days and book the room this weekend, but IN.

Much to the dismay of all, I can now proudly announce that I, too, am IN!! I just booked the room for myself, and will soon start a thread of flying in. Maybe we can put our heads together on that aspect of it, plus the car rental and all that other logistical stuff.

Great news!!!!!

Registered and Booked. Hopefully the Katoom and I are back together by then :thumbsup:

Very cool!

 

Wait - bike trouble?

 

ummm, yeah.......on a ride in August, Formerly Boney dodged a Prius but neglected to scare her off with that air horn on his GS so she kept going and she took me out :cry: I got a nice ambulance ride, 4 broken ribs, bruised lung blah, blah, blah. Could be worse......BUTT the poor (brand new) Katoom took a beating too. What looked like a bunch of scratches is up to $9800 in repairs so far :Cool: It should be back together in a month or so. Me.......I have a "consultation" with a Thoracic surgeon tomorrow........hmmm, not sure what to expect there.

 

 

not what you expected to hear, eh? :grin:

Not sure I had a expectation, but with a response like that, well, I'm just glad you're around to give it!

 

I hope the dr has good news tomorrow and that your ribs have mostly healed up - broken ribs are no fun at all.

 

In any case, looking forward to seeing you in Montana - even if it is a really LONG way off yet.
