the issue at Barber's is its grown to such size of attendance and scale of the grounds 500 Nortons would be lost diluted in the crowd and goings on, so would have to miss a lot of Barbers events to have any club group activities till well after dark. Barber
is its own mutlti storm weather system worth it all on it very own even w/o a bike tagging along. Dave's home sure sound like a winner so far.

Why not make it coincide with the Norton rally in Vermont next summer

PS Texas is only central to people suffering from bellybuttonitis which just happens to be a desease common to ALL residents of Texas (sorry GP )

Though I'm actually a native Miami Fla cracker I did 25 yr in Texas to know you should not ask someone where they come from If they are from Texas you'll soon know it and if they ain't - you shouldn't embarrass them. Austin or San Antonio stand out for city of interest but there's the Lake of The Pines event that too far away from a real city to count or accommodate much motel people. Now if at Big Bend area you can hold WOT for hours on end to get from one site to the next.

Lake of the Pines would be a great place to meet.

Agree on San Antonio, great place.

Just updating this posting after replying to SwooshDave's post with Barber video.

The reality is that when it's all said and done, you don't get a whole lot of time together no matter what the venue, so making the most of a long weekend at Barber's is perhaps a really great idea. Some come early, some stay late, the majority are there around the peak of the weekend.

The evenings and mornings are the best time for group activities, and there could be several.

I'd really like to meet y'all face to face, so I hope this meet-up actually happens.

With the number of posts on this Forum....better start building those trailers guys & gals!!

I built mine to fit in the truck, under the cap We all know how much people love truck caps

I vote that we should meet in that hotbed of Commando activity, Hong Kong. there is a guy here called Norton Wong and we have the best fish-lip sandwiches in the world.
