So no one else is going?

Knot Eye, said the Cigar Store wooden Indian 

I attended this very good gathering of sidecars in 2022, and can highly recommend it, as it is a quaint, and comfortable rally for sidecars. Well organized, great attitudes, every member of the USCA should be required to attend this event, at least once in their lifetime.

I am still planning on attending. I know of three others from this neck of the woods that are also planning to come but that is up to them to confirm. I may, or may not prepay, due to my chronic procrastination, but I would vote for meatloaf for dinner if I did.

I'm planning on going back this year, I'm one of Dana's 3

Ill be sending a check today. Julie and I are both looking forward to it.

BTW, because I know that no one else on planet earth has come up with this idea yet....if a hackster was true to form, they could make a really nice trip/excursion/vacation/holiday out of attending both....the Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills, in Kansas, and then attend the PenNY Hackers Campout in Clarington, Pennsylvania.

The distance between the two events is roughly 1,100 miles. I say...roughly...only if you are on a Ural or BMW powered rig. But if you are on a Yamaha, or Honda, or Suzuki...or even a H-D powered rig, then it wouldn't be "roughly"...would it ? It would be smoothly. 

sometimes I qwack myself up

 

The Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills, in Kansas is listed above, and the PenNY Hackers Campout in Clarington, PA is listed as:

 

PenNy Hackers Campout, In the heart of Cook Forest, northwestern PA,       September  19-22, 2024

 

Therefore, attend the Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills, in Kansas on September 5 - 8...then scoot your sidecar rig up to the PenNY Hackers Campout in Clarington, PA on September 19 - 22.

 

That gives even the slowest sidecar pilot 11 days to go 1,100 miles. Think of it...even all the Ural sidecars in the World could make that 1,100 miles in 11 days.

That's all I have to say on that  

In order to accomplish this little jaunt there is one quality you will need above all else....you must bee Stark Raving Bonkers!!! Yes Miles we know you are highly qualified in this regard!

All being well Sam and i are going to amble up there next Tuesday 25th June for a couple of nights. Then i get to try out my IPad as a GPS along with a bluetooth headset.

Well its bloody hot out took care of that thought so i will wait till after the 4th before i take a ride.

I'm in.  No Karen or Maddie, though.

We will still expect respectable behavior. 😉  

🤣 

Define "respectable".

Respectable means not getting drunk on whiskey.  Getting drunk on beer or wine is what respectable folks do.

I'm going to try and make it if I get my rig put back together in time.

Is anyone going to be going close to the St. Louis area? Maybe ride in together?
