I've been trying to plan for Drift-in but life seems to redirect me whenever I get close. If the rooms are all booked is there another establishment in the area that I could contact for lodging? I am planning to ride in from Louisville, KY if I can find a place to stay, would'nt mind tagging along with a group of riders if schedule allows.
Thanks,
Rizzo
You better make a few phone calls. WolfChief has set 30 June as the cut off date for rally shirts. http://drift-in.org/details.html

- June 28, 2014, 08:56:44 AMI was thinking that regional people should have each others numbers, and to a lesser degree, the whole group. I'm open to suggestions about how this should be structured. Ratman would be, for example, in the group of East Coast/New York people since he will be closer to them than to say, someone from Texas....Thee is a message board on the Drift-In site, but I think that having direct contact with each other might be a more efficient method...We still have a few days to think this over.

- June 25, 2014, 15:03:27 PMQuote from: Troll on June 13, 2014, 19:31:28 PMCan we count my side trips to NYC an DC in total mileage? That way I can beat Ratman. Also, you interested in travelling back together Ratty?Just giving this a little (maybe too much) thought..BUT, Ratman, be sure to note down the mileage on your odometer when you leave home, and when you arrive. Since yours is going to be metric, we will have to multiply it by .625 to get a real number. Last year there was a prize on Saturday night for the longest distance RIDDEN to the rally. I missed by 15 miles....
My calculations indicate your trip should be 1018 miles, mine, 1167...maybe I'll win this year. Greenbarn won't even be in the running, with less than 500...

- June 24, 2014, 21:48:15 PMI actually thought about that.... I think it's "me", though. You wouldn't say "ride down with I", you'd say "ride down with me". So, the way I learnt it, it's "ride down with johnny and me".
Course, who knows if my back-woods teachers knew what they were talking about..

So if there's any drifters out there that would like to link up for the ride down I'd be interested . If not that's fine as well , but as it stands right now looks like I'm riding down by my lonesome .

- June 20, 2014, 07:03:12 AMWe do the same thing in my truck club when we are doing a group ride. The ride leader/organizer is in charge of the list to make sure only club members have access to it.

- June 19, 2014, 12:17:24 PMI just had an epiphany. Several of us (you know who you are) are going to be riding fairly long distances to get to Drift-In, and for some (you still know who you are) this might be their first really long motorcycle adventure. I've been doing LD riding almost forever, but many have not considered it before. I exchanged address and tel# with Greenbarn, via P.M. since I'm going to his house first, and they we will be riding down, together. Maybe it might not be such a bad idea if we were to all exchange phone #s with each other, just in case something were to happen. Clearly, it would not be for immediate assistance, but a phone tree type set up might be useful...Can't hurt if we know where each of us is...

- June 18, 2014, 19:31:41 PMQuote from: greenbarn on June 18, 2014, 17:29:40 PMI would like to check on and/or verify my registration if possible - how would I do that? I remember registering, but it's been several months, and just wanted to be reminded what I specified in T shirts, etc.
Also, I don't remember seeing anywhere what the fee is for the Drift-in? I'm guessing there is a fee to cover the T-shirt, misc expenses, etc. etc.?? I couldn't find that info on the Drift-In pages?
Thanks, and looking forward to it. Not long to go... I REALLY need to get the 1500 mods started...
Here's a quote from Nick: Getting the T-shirts is a gonna cost me a huge amount of $$$ upfront. So I am going to put in an order the First part of July while I can afford it.
This means you all have til Monday June 30 to reserve yourself a Custom made Rally T-shirt.
I will try to order a few extras depending on the money, but don't count on it.
So if you haven't already registered, do so now.
If you don't want to register but have reservations to make it to Drift-In this year or have every intention on being there or if you just want a T-shirt, then please E-mail me Personally at wolfchief@charter.net
I will need your FULL NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER AND E-MAIL ADDRESS along with your SHIRT SIZE & QUANTITY.
Your Rally Host Chief

- June 17, 2014, 08:19:22 AMI'm figuring an average of 45 mpg @ 70 mph (112.7 kph) for my calculations (11-12 fuel stops). I'm going to fill up at about 180-190 miles, (300 Km) average, so the entire trip, not counting what riding we do in the mountains, will run me about $171 for fuel @ $3.70 a gallon (46 gallons). Last year's trip actually averaged a little over 48 for the 2,500 miles ( I got 52 on the Dragon trip) of Drift-In, so I'm thinking I'll be a little conservative with the estimate, and then be happily surprised, again! Just in case you're wondering, when I put the Michelin's on, I bit the bullet and bought a speedo healer so I could fine tune the accuracy of the instrument. I decided I could live with the speed being off by 2.25 mph, as long as the odometer was correct. A lot easier to ride 72 mph than give yourself a headache trying to figure out some arcane conversion formula for mileage in your head!
