Trikefest 2007 Date

[Kintore]

Hey guys,

Just wanting to know when TF is this year? If possible, could it be moved back a few weeks to like the 3rd week in June? or 4th?

I know alot more people could come cause school would be out. But then again people may have already booked off for this time.

If not, whats the dates then?


Thanks Admins, mods or whoever.

[Billy Golightly]

I believe we agreed on the same, second weekend in June again. Howdy and others have prior obligations during the other weekends.

[250r'en +TCB]

Perhaps I'll be able to make it in 08....... But I'm on the same page as Kintore, I could come if it was later in June......

[Yamahondaman]

HUMMMMMM ??? how many "other's" ??
if we can do this like Kintore Suggested....there would be MORE People ??
the MORE .... the Better ?
isn't there MORE People in Congress than in the White House ?? :wondering
HOW BOUT IT RAG'S???? 4th. WEEK !!! :beer

[MIK6]

TF06 was the exception for temperature. I remember TF05 was so hot I didn't want to ride. I think the later the hotter, thats from a norther guy LOL.

Im happy when it is!!

MIK6 / Mike

[Yamahondaman]

seem's like the first week is the RAIN Season for the ............ "North" States
( HOT ) is Nothing to the "South" People... it's the Humidity !! :lol:
HUMMM ??? Maybe a Poll will be Taken for the next 9 Month's ??? :wondering
See What You Started KINTORE !!!! :beer

[Louis Mielke]

I kinda agree afew weeks later would make this easier.

[Bryan Raffa]

yes i agree too! take a poll time!

[ClayW]

I really liked it in early june. Temp was just right. Not too hot, not too cold. I think it should stay there. It rained a bit, but it just made it a little funner. LOL. If I wanted to sweat my rear off, I would have stayed home and rode in GA

[nouseforaname90]

Move it back a little bit.. I want to come and I wouldn't be able to because of school. Please please please! Haha..

[Kintore]

Well whatever you guys decide, ill see ya anyways!

[slothminx]

If you move it to the end of July, that would help alot, Exams next year aswell at the same time will probably stop me coming if it stays where it is.

[Tri-ZNate]

keep it the same. i just took my finals early for last year. Where there is a will, there is a way. Luckily this year I'm a Senior so I CANT be in school unless I'm taking my finals :w00t:

[Kintore]

Prom or TF?


Hmmm I hope they dont fall on the same date!


(cough-TF-cough)

[250r'en +TCB]

Prom or TF?


Hmmm I hope they dont fall on the same date!


(cough-TF-cough)
Well if I actually could go and it came down to chosing between the two, it would be TF, in all honesty :lol: :beer :w00t: :crazy:

[Kintore]

If I can make it from Canada, and Corb can make it from texas, Billy from florida, Hagen from Germany, and Tony from austrailia. Im sure you could make it :)

[250r'en +TCB]

If I can make it from Canada, and Corb can make it from texas, Billy from florida, Hagen from Germany, and Tony from austrailia. Im sure you could make it :)
I already know how would get there, hook a ride with Mike (DeePa). But my final exams are during TF, so I can't miss any days. I could proubly convince my parents to miss one regualr day of school, but not a day of finals....:rolleyes:

Seniors get off early, so maybe TF 08...........

[Kintore]

Ask the school the write them early! I know will aka slothminx is doing so!

[Louis Mielke]

i was gonna say, I'm all about changing my schedule but unfortunatly schools aren't. I think that school ending the last week or two of june is was the real conflcit is. MY girlfriend is a teacher so she basically will never get to come ot trikefest with me....:-(

[Yamahondaman]

If I can make it from Canada, and Corb can make it from texas, Billy from florida, Hagen from Germany, and Tony from austrailia. Im sure you could make it :)
AHHH----HUMMMMM ronnie from Florida also !!! :lol:

[Dammit!]

AHHH----HUMMMMM ronnie from Florida also !!! :lol:

It wasn't exactly across the street for me and 3razors either. :lol:

I like the idea of a little later into the summer just because there's a good chance of less rain. There's trade offs though (hotter, more bugs).

[Kintore]

It was off the top of my head! lol

and.....
dammit and 3razrs from AZ, and ronnie from florida lol

better? haha

[Tri-ZNate]

I already know how would get there, hook a ride with Mike (DeePa). But my final exams are during TF, so I can't miss any days.


Take them early, only way i could do it. then just write an excuse that says your going on vacation

[OldSchoolin86]

Without a doubt it should be the 3rd or 4th weekend if we really want more people involved. Having it the 2nd stops a lot of people from coming for school reasons. Also weather shouldn't be a factor concidering we can't predict when it's going to rain and this year was almost too chilly.

[Yamahondaman]

Maybe i Drag along one of these Huricanes up there to calm the dust abit !! :naughty:

Agreed. Im DYING to make it out to 07 but im in school till the middle of june... :cry:

[Yamahondaman]

HUMMMMM ???
L@@k's like the "People" are going to WIN This ????
WHERE'S THE BEEF ???? i mean ..........
WHERE'S THE POLL ????? :wondering

[TimSr]

The past Trikefests have always been at the beginning of June, usually the 2nd weekend, because this was the time that those who do all the work to make this event happen had available. We are sensitive to teh fact that it does cuase issues with shool in a lot of cases. The past two yeasr i dreov to Trikefest right after TimJrs last day of school or the day after. This has never been about not "letting the people win". We do our best to please the most, but I dont imagine anyone else would be able to put 100% effort into planning and organizing something that they who are organizing it would not be able to attend. Im sure you can understand that. No matter what date we choose, there will be someone who is not pleased with it.
Having said this, the staff members who had schedule conflicts have had changes that will allow for a 2nd date choice.
June 2007 has 5 weekends. The first choise is the traditional 2nd weekend, June 7-10. The other possibility is June 21-24 which is the 4th weekend. These are the only two possibilities at this time.

[TimSr]

By the way, Howdy dug up this weather info which pretty much just shows that weather is a coin toss, and your likelihood of 5 straight days in the midwest without rain during the summer is not very high no matter what month.

[250r'en +TCB]

Well the 21st-24th is good for me!!! I'm coming if I have to ride there on the R!!! hahaha

[Billy Golightly]

I voted later also. I dont know if I can stand another weekend of peunomnia weather like this year.

[max]

I voted later also. I dont know if I can stand another weekend of peunomnia weather like this year.

In the pole you should have a choice for either or. I doesnt matter to me which date is choosen. Im sure either date would work for alot of us.

[Kintore]

Seems I spoke to soon, I got my school calendar today and the 21-24 days fall right on my exams.

I voted for the 2nd week, I guess I totally take back what I said!

[Russell 350X]

I'll talk to the guys that I am going to collage with that are comign with me to Trikefest (IrvSledMan, yourlossismygain) then I'll vote, but as of now I'm thiniking the first week.

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

doesnt matter which date, i go in three feet of snow just to ride with all the members on this site if i have too, i hate all that rain, nothing to do then but shoot fireworks and yell at all the people falling in the haspin mud:lol:

[Yamahondaman]

i dunno bout the SNOW but ......... the MUD LAUGHING ????
oh no.... oh no .... OH NOOOOO !!!!!
Emagine taking a shower and walking 1/16 of a mile to your camp site and there's these IDIOT'S there just WAITING for you to fall and .......................
Next Year we got's to get THAT 30's Mess ON TAPE !!!! :lol:

[SYKO]

well when ever it is I will be comming, and if its later then I 'm taking a three week vacation, ( I love my job, lol), and if any one in the north florida south ga area need a lift I'm bringing my car hauler (fits 12 trikes, 10 quads, not to mention the bed of the truck)

[Yamahondaman]

Seems I spoke to soon, I got my school calendar today and the 21-24 days fall right on my exams.

I voted for the 2nd week, I guess I totally take back what I said!
YA......just go ahead and stir up more trouble !!!! :lol:

[Louis Mielke]

[Billy Golightly]

[maggiesboy]

[Kintore]

2,388 miles from home to Laurel In. That'll be a good pull :D

BUT so worth it!

[bassman]

Nah, I like 2nd weekend in june. 4th weekend is getting closer to a holiday, so it would be kinda packed...and I really don't like big crowds.

[200xcellent]

I voted for 2nd weekend because that should be right between spring and summer quarter which i might start taking

[TimSr]

Okay, this poll has been out long enough, and we need to set a date. If you havent voted, and it matters to you, do it now. This poll will close the end of this month, and we will have our date.

[Bryan Raffa]

can we make it from the 7th through the 24th that will take care of everyone!!!

[OldSchoolin86]

2,388 miles from home to Laurel In. That'll be a good pull :D
Just fly out. Someone will pick you up and show you a good TF time!

[maggiesboy]

[Kintore]

[Billy Golightly]

Thats what it is, majority ruled and the poll closed. I'll be completing the new brochure sometime soon as quick as we work out the exact time on the events.

[Kintore]

Time to talk to the school and get to write my exams the week before!

[200xcellent]

the worst part about majority rulings is not being in the majority haha, oh well it might just be a weekend trip next year.

[Russell 350X]

That date works fine for me. Just got to get the time off of work.

[aquapunk]

I should have a few extra rides w/ me so you have an ATV to ride.

[Meat-BoX]

If you show up you will need to hang with us up on Alcholic hill. That was the place to be last year. I may need to borrow your trailer again Mik6:w00t:

And as far as "bottle rockets" I have the biggest baddest "rockets" that should be there this year :w00t: cant wait.

[mywifeknowseverything]

West side of Indy is only a hour drive by a fast driver ,,,, hour and a half by my speed from laural, Ind.
No problem getting you back there when ever Sunday.

john

Thanks John,,,,,

Just Curious what you use to cook on....I hear your Good at it:w00t:

[Kintore]

Well im all good to go, Talked to the principal he said no worries on writing my exams a week early. And now I get to hit prom!

I was going to blow it off lol


See you guys there! :w00t:

[Yamahondaman]

I just went from camp to camp foraging ,,,

john
i went camp to camp >>>:beer <<< !! TF07 OR BUST !!!! :w00t:

[Lomax]

Everything is still looking good down here for us. Hopefully everything will stay the same and nothing bad will happen. me or my Co-pilot have never been so we dont have any idea where to camp. Thinking of getting there on Wednesday? maybe, I thought mid week would be a good time.

[Billy Golightly]

The earlier the better. If it doesn't rain, anywheres to camps is pretty much the rule of thumb. If it rains, or looks like its going to rain, park on a high spot near the gate out of the camp area.

[Yamahondaman]

"our" spot will be the Same .... there you can see-um coming and going !!

[Billy Golightly]

I'm gonna camp up there by the house this year too I think, to much mud down there in the pavilion.

[Yamahondaman]

IF YOU "GIT" there Early................................ SAVE MY SPOT ........ :beer

[dizasterzrfun69]

i might be able to reserve from ronnie all the way up to the road in front of the house. thats where i plan on camping again. I remember that when i got there last year pete had the gate shut so nobody would go down there except for TF06 attendees. :w00t: what days does the 21 thrue 24th fall on? does anyone know?

[Bryan Raffa]

Ill be gettin there tuesday this year and plan on settin up buy the house,,and settin up my tent up on the concrete out of the rain!

[Lomax]

Well DAMN! Last night i had an unexpected water leak in the house coming from the water heater room. when i located the leak i discovered that the roof has been leaking for quite some time and a large protion of the floor (and roof) is rotton. Its an old trailer house so i am not going to waste money fixing it. This means that my plans for building a shop with an apartment in it that was planned for a few years off must be started imediatly. This sucks, thats going to be a heavy drain on the finances. I am not going to say that I am out yet but I am going to have to do some serious figuring money wise to be able to afford the trip. We will just have to see how everything unfolds in the next few months

[Yamahondaman]

Well DAMN! I am not going to say that I am out yet but I am going to have to do some serious figuring money wise to be able to afford the trip. We will just have to see how everything unfolds in the next few months
I HEARD THAT !!! Gas Prices and ALL !!!
