I'd be more interested in NoCal myself. SoCal is close enough to Me-hee-co and that meet is happening.
I wonder if I could fit 150 people in my 2 bedroom apartment?

How about a meeting at a existing rally like The Autumn Beemer Bash.
http://www.ccbr.org/bash.htm
That would be in 2007
Grant has had semimars at other rallies and they have the meeting rooms and facilities.

HI there, I'n new
I'd be delighted to attend such an event in NorCal, if one is going to be had.
I'm trying really hard to plan my first adventure trip to S America. I need to meet some like minded folks to help me figure out what I'm getting into.

I'm willing to help as much as I can. The big limiting factor is I am on 12 hour night shift at the moment. If yu must have a slide show in the campground a generator will work for running power. Also in fortuna there is the river lodge you can rent, but it is not cheap.

I'm back in with this. I was going to go to England in May to ride cross Europe and Asia, but I can't do it. It'll have to wait until next year.
I'm up for helping organize this.

If you can get a spot set I can help out. I even have the hat!
Most campgrounds are by the spot and by that its the car load. It may say 100 people but its the camping spots that mater. If they have 100 camping spots they may well let 2 bikes have one spot.
Just try to get an area away from RVs if your doing this in the summer they will run there generators all night to run there AC.
Other options may be Fairgrounds, colleges, and the like. (dont know if colleges allow camping on the campus) but it may worth a look.
Then all we need are a few people to place adds in some bike shops. Hope we can pull it off California is a grate place to ride.

October would be a wonderful month but keep in mind that HU travelers will be heading to South America and may miss the meeting being so late in the year. Also the travelers from the east will have to be careful returning over the Rockies.

October would be a bit late here. It could be raining hard. Early Sept is usually the best time of year here. I can check further next week on some places. with the new year and all it has been a bad time to check and get a hold of people.

Anybody going from my neck of the woods?
Well now I know it is on I am seriously thinking of going. I guess I will only have 2 weeks to do the trip but it looks possible. Is anybody going from Mex City (not likely) or from the Texas/Arizona area?
Is anybody going that I know or that knows me or of me?

Garry you old dog!
I just found this thread and think that California in September would be a great Idea. Be nice to hook up with you again if you can make it, I'm going to try to attend, it looks do-able for me as it stands now.

Mike it doesn't look like I can get time of work for the HU meeting but I may go to the Indianapolis MotoGP. Are you interested in that? I hope to visit the Barber museum and Deals Gap. I am at the planning stage so let's see. Ivonne has started work so won't be able to go. While this is a bummer I will be able to do more miles in a day and will be camping on the way.

I was planning on going but at this point, I might be in Korea. If not, I'll be there on my '65 Ducati 250.
Is anyone going to Tynda's rally next week? I'll be there. Here's the link for that: International Motorcycle Adventurers
