Ninjette.org Rally South Central, May 23rd
Hey guys. So I think the general consensus is that we should def. have a ninjette.org rally and that the easiest way to accomplish this is to split us all up into regions since we're all kinda spread out. I thought I would start a South Central thead and see how many people are interested and what ideas you might have. I figure South Central would include: Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Arakansas & Louisiana. Now I think that no one should be limited to which ride they want to attend. The more the merryer I always say...so if someone is close enough to make the ride then come on along.
I figure we can choose the meeting place based on your ideas and / or where the majority of the people are located. So help me out. I want to meet some Ninjette people. VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Place: Fulshear Date: May 23rd Time: 10 A.M. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...39999999999987 We will meet behind the gas pumps. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...59.929619&z=14 Last futzed with by Snake; May 6th, 2009 at 12:01 PM.

The more people we get involved the closer we will be to a venue. Lets see how many more people are interested and what ideas they have but at least we've got a start.

I'm pretty far north (almost Oklahoma) and am absurdly busy, but I'm interested if we pick something reasonably close.

Where's all the south central peeps?!
I'm trying to wait until I get beyond my "break in" time before I really start to rack up the mileage, but other than that I'd be totally down for a ninjette rally! I'm not too familiar with other places around, so we need to first of all identify a specific location (city), then try and find ammeneties around (camp sites, hotels, stores, stuff to do, etc.). What do you guys think? Any specific ideas?

That sounds like fun! I'm from Houston, but Texas is a big country, ahem I mean state. Hey Rick, I'm only 4 hrs away from you (~250 miles).

I was thinking a good meeting place could be Dallas or Houston. All depends on where the majority of the people want to meet.

Sounds good. So, thus far we've got you (Rick) in LA (the state, not the city ), one in way north Texas, one west of Dallas (in Abilene), one in Houston, and myself in Georgetown, almost dead center between Waco and Austin.
We're a pretty spread out group. My vote is that we get a little more people enthused about the rally before we pick a spot. It's going to be tough trying to accomodate all, but I think the more people that are confirmed and going, the more someone will be willing to make a longer trip (if necessary). Just my

I'm still not sure of the location yet. We may see which location is in the middle of everyone interested or put it up for a vote as to where people would like to go.
For the date, how does Saturday April 25th sound to everyone? |

I was thinking some time next month ... or even June! I think trying to coordinate as many things we have to do in just over a week isn't really enough time. Only reason why I say this is b/c it'd be cool (if lodging is required), for all of us to stay in the same hotel ... not the same room, just the same building. Or if it's outdoors to get several campsites close to each other, you know, stuff like that. Coordinating things like this (with a larger amount of people) takes a little time.
Not only that, but the farther out you put it (with an official date), the more people you can get interested to come. That way, also, we can get friends of ours interested to come so that we can introduce them to the Ninjette community as well. Sry for the long post Just thought I'd share my opinion ...

Depending on the date, I'd be up for a road trip. I got my name in the hat for the south east ride too, but there is no firm date for that ride either. Dallas is about 11 hours from me and Houston is about 9 hours.

im no longer a ninjette rider but it would also be helpful if people looked for bike/car shows in their area at the time of the meet.

Hey everyone,
I think Michael had a good point about meeting at an already exising event so all of us can then hang out there, then go for our own ride later. This way (also), we can plan ahead a date and meet at a specific place. Here's what I've found so far. List of Bike Events in TX This is a quick list of events all over the state of TX. Nothing really caught my eye, but let me know what you guys think. Just doing quick searches, it looks like there a quite a few different sportbike rallies in Iraan, TX but I think we've already missed out on that one this summer ... possibly. (I'll double check). Or even something like Central Texas Heatwave if you guys are interested. Only issue with that is that I won't be able to make it to the time in Austin, but the time in Houston is right in the middle of June. Just some suggestions though I think all of us are open to additional ones. Post em up! Oh yeah, welcome to the board Jessica!!

Me and long rides don't get along. My hind-quarters does not appreciate the stock seat much, but I don't want to pay for the upgrade.
Local Houston area stuff, that is fine with me.

the bike is not sold yet but it is in the hands of a kawi dealership that is very confident in selling it for more than i asked sooner than i asked..
things have taken a dramatic turn for the better...apparently she wanted me to sell it to get me a different bike...

From reading the posts it looks like most people agree on May the 23rd. Only problem we may have now is where to meet? Can someone help out here as I do not know Texas very well ? I am open to just about any meeting place and even a different date if it makes things easier for all.

Does anybody have a desired location to meet? Let's get some recomendations and do a poll on that too.

Uhm...... Don't mean to be a party crasher or anything, but I'm a southern NM kid that gets out of school the 20th! So far as I know, there is no southwest rally (which is wierd, 'cause there's a crapload of socal peeps on this forum!!) so this one's my best bet. But I can't make east Texas, especially not 3 days after school gets out.
