And thanks for the offers guys, but nothing bugs me more then being a leach.  Lets just hope I have a job by then.

Not to concerned about that.  And where I'm from friends help each other out.  The offer stands, let me know what I can do.

Same here.

Besides the pimping me out in Waynoka part... The locals are kinda creepy lookin' sometimes

Remember E. This trip is pretty much free besides the gas to get there, which we can all try to split.

camping: $8 (if you pay at all)
Riding $7 a day, no parking vouchers, no stickers no registration...nada. If you ride on weekdays, it's 50/50 you pay at all.

Last time, I went on a $300 budget. Spent it all....but....that includes the new sprocket, chain, carrier bearings. AND paying a mechanic to drill out my old bolts!

Let's go now.

I'm waiting. 2 more weeks and larm turns into marm (mushy arm)

did you get surgery?

[Gunz]

did you get surgery?

Nope, I need it though. I got new cast today and it wasn't pretty. Right arm has a bow and outer bone is sticking out about a half inch past my hand. Doc says I'm gonna lose some radius, but I should be able to pick a guitar. I'll have surgery, just not sure when. The one I needed had a window and that has come and gone already. So it'll be one that will fix any problems I have after the healing process.

Either way I'll be riding in Oct, maybe not the usually 110%, but I'll be shooting for air.

86 more days gangstas!!!!!

here is my plan
of course, I can alter my route..

I grab X-rider load his and my quads on the hauler
Phucker possibly too
shoot down to pick up Erich's Quad in Chicago

then over to Omaha to grab Preddy's quad
I figure Krandall can meet us at Preddy's (what .. like 6 hours?)
with his mom's van
we throw his on the truck
then someone gets a vehicle to haul the people
2 of us ride in the truck, the rest drive something that gets good mileage
maybe a rental or some shit
below is a map of my route
I can vary the route to accommodate picking up anyone's quad
I should be able to haul 8-12 quads without much problem
we just need to organize this so we are not all driving trucks that get 12-15 mpg EACH!
if we had one big truck getting like 10 MPG and one big van getting 10-15 MPG
split that with 8 or more guys.. that will be mucho cheaper!

for me to "alter my route" to get Preddy's ride is only like 60 miles outta the way

I can do this for anyone, as long as it doesn't add TOO much to the trip
but I would gladly drive a couple hours to have another attendee'

or, if you can make it so your quad is at Eric's house or Preddy's
or anywhere along the way (friend or family)
I will gladly stop and pick it up

as  it stands right now, I estimate $600 - $800 in Fuel for the truck (round trip)
if I said screw everyone, and just take a decent Pick up, then it would cost around $400-$600
that is calculating Fuel at 2.50 a gallon and around 1200 miles each way
figuring the big truck at 10 mpg, and the "normal one" at 15mpg

Gunny, what did it cost (in fuel) for you to come to SL?
 
any Input guys?

[Krandall]

Hmmmm, I'll have to beg and plead w/ the wife to make this happen.

[Peelz]

hefe, come down to highway 34, pick me up, then west to 35 south.

I am not far out of your way.
