Scooting The Ozarks Rally 2010 Eureka Springs AR.

[Silver-Bullet]

Hey Lou, I was wondering...

When someone does win that nice scooter, will they have to take it with them?

Or how will they get it home. Do they make a towbar for a scooter to tow a scooter?

The scooter is being supplied by Lanny from http://www.lannyscycleworld.com/ he will bring it to the rally. Who ever wins it is their responsiblity to get it to their destination. Wether it be by trailer, shipping it, whatever means you come up with. I'm sure Lanny will work something out with the winner. I know if I or Diane win it I will FIND a way to get it here!
As far as a tow bar, I don't know if there is such a thing.

I mentioned in one of my prior post's that I had another Iron in the Fire for STO 2010 I also mentioned that this was going to be a Rally/Celebration.
We are going to have a DJ Dance / Karoke night, Friday night. We will dance awhile, Sing awhile & just have fun! Our own EuGene Smith has volenteered to host this night. There will be NO extra charge for this event.
We have started "Roll Call" thread here

You can make reservations on-line using the form on their website http://www.travelersinn.com/reservations.htm Be sure to include a phone number where you can be reached during the day so that they can call you (within 48 hours) to confirm the reservation. And mention STO in the “comments” box.

I have also made arrangements with Pizza Hut for catering out Pizza Night.
Both events will be served from the back hall building on the Travelers Grounds

I spoke with Jerry of the Travelers this morning & he informed me that their is only 14 rooms left @ the Travelers. So again I Highly suggest that if you know your going to come to STO 2010 & want to stay where the action is, Book your rooms NOW. Once the Travelers Is booked full. I will post other Lodging infromation. Jerry owns two other motels in Eureka & has offered the same $50.00 per night plus tax with no weekend rate hikes to ALL STO Rally attendee's at ALL of his motels.

Folks
We have set a record here in Wausau Wi. We have just went the entire month of March with NO Snow! A first for the record books. Late winter & Spring has been GREAT weather wise here.

Not really much to report this month as alot of the rally ia already in place.
I have invited the local Chapter of the CMA (Christian motorcycle Assn) to our rally.
They are going to set up a Hospitality Tent. If you want your Scoot Blessed for a safe rally. They have also offered to lead rides if needed.

I called the Travelers Inn. They have only 14 rooms left.
When Ttavelers is full, you can book a room at tht Red Carpet Inn (Formerly Wagoneer Inn) and get the same rally rate as the Travelers. Jerry also owns this motel. Tressa & I have personally inspected this motel last year when we were in Eureka & found it to be a VERY nice place. Clean comfortable rooms!

Start watching the rally ride Board as Tim will start posteing rides soon.

Don't forget to put your name on the Roll call thread in the Rally Updates!

Terrible day outside here today so its a good oportunity to get some updates out.
Rally Registration.
Registration will be as it has been in the past. I have made arrangements with the management of Travelers to register you for the rally as you check in to your room. Even if you are not staying there you will register @ the front desk of the Hotel. You will pick up your nametags & your door prize tickets.
You will be required to show your nametag for Pizza Night & the BBQ. No nametag no eats.
I will have better nametags this year. So they won't be so easy to lose.
With 3 months to go to the rally, I can say this is going to be well attended this year. We have already surpassed the total number I had Pre registered from last year.
Tell a friend, This is going to be FUN! And someone is going home with a NEW 2009 Kymco Agility 125!
Thank You to all that have Pre registered & supported STO. Without you this couldn't happen.

Jean Bartlow will be giving his Safe Ride Seminar and his Maintenance Seminar at STO 2010. Jean rode his Helix from his home in California to Eureka Springs every year for the retired Scootercade Rally and gave his seminars.

Jean has added to his Safe Ride Seminar since I last attended, so I’ll be there to learn more this year. Jean gives a lot of information about choices you make before and during a ride that determine whether or not you will have a Safe Ride. With over 1 million documented miles of scooter riding, he speaks from experience, not a textbook.

In his maintenance seminar, Jean demonstrates removing, servicing and reinstalling the front pulley and the clutch of a scooter. I don’t know which scooter he will demonstrate with, but the V-matic clutch parts in the Helix, Reflex, Majesty, Burgman 400, and the Chinese scooters are all similar.

STO has also signed up Gary Sharp of Hwy 62 RV in Farmington, AR as a new vendor. He will be bringing some AutoMoto scooters www.theautomoto.com I look forward to seeing these 3-wheeled scooters “in person.”
