Yup Steve, I Done, Did it! However, the Insurance Company was kind enough to pay for just about all of it! (Of course, I'll be paying them back, in higher premiums the next 10+ years, if I live that long .)

Also, thanks for your Help w/ Uncle O in the Previous post, while I was away getting Fox IV!

Question re: 2nd ANNUAL Fall 2008 "Tail of the Dragon" MEET!

Last Comment by UK ken - Posted Date: Sun April 20, 2008 12:21am
(On the Spring '08 Dragon Meet Thread)

"Hi I'm ken hallett from the UK. Would you be so kind and tell me your start date..location of route ..and finish of the tail of the dragon. Although I am unable to travel it in my 06 Crossfire,I would love the experience. You guys had a real treat. We my wife and I retired a few years back, and are having a great time traveling. Next trip is spending two months viewing the US from the roads and would love to include the Dragon run..it will only be a hire car, but I will get the feel of what you guys did.
..............
Regards
Ken Hallett "

"Hi Ken,
Great News! Would love to have you & your wife at our Next ToD Meet this Oct/Nov. I would even help you find/reserve a Crossfire for Hire, in this Area, if any remain available. I live one hour from the Dragon's Den, in far Western North Carolina. Bill (SF) "

Hey Guys/Gals,

Can't find any Crossfires for Rent anymore, also couldn't probably lock one up this far in Advance, it could be sold by then!

Anyone got any Good Ideas on this Problem that needs solving to get UK ken to our Fall Dragon Meet?

Please PM me or post here, I know We can find a Solution! I'll keep at it until we do.

My Best,
Bill (The former Dragon slayer)

Found out yesterday, we will be heading towards Rapid City, SD the end of June. That's about 35 miles from Sturgis, SD . The big bike rally is in Aug. We will be in Rapid City till the 1st of Nov. So if any of you guys get that way, let me know. I can get you set up for a place to stay. Would have loved to run the Tail of the Dragon one more time this fall, but maybe some other day.

Hey Don,
Thanks for the update. We will miss ya at the fall dragon meet but understand it is to far to hook up from South Dakota.
Travel safely and I guess your name "Dakota-boy1" will fit you well once you arrive.
Enjoy your travels and keep us posted on life up north. Gary

Thanks guys, was nice meeting everyone. Crossfire owners are a unique bunch of people and I mean that in a good way. Couldn't meet a nicer bunch of people. All of those that have not taken in the Tail Of the Dragon, set your plans to do so!!!!!!

Don,

Sorry to be Missing you (& one of my Twins) this Fall, but with your moves every 3 mos or so, maybe you'll be back, sooner than you think, unless you planning on heading Further West, of course!

We'll see you again in the Future, this Dragon Event is Not going to Die Soon (Even if I Beat it ).

My Best to your Future Travels & It has been My Pleasure,
Bill (SF)

Being on the run will be reward enough and a few beers with you guys will not go amiss. Our third UK Xfire meet in July has had a good responce with half a dozen or so xfire owners staying locally, which is always nice, as we all meet in the bar in the evening and put the world to rights!

Ken.

Thanks for getting together these events, and following through with all of the photo's.

Lots of us really appreciate what you've invested in making these GTG's happen (& the daily featured driver thread has been enjoyed by many, too).

I met Scott today at our local Chicagoland meet. A nice guy indeed. Scott, consider joining the others from up this way for the cruise to the Dragon. Probably leaving very early Friday morning Oct.31. We can meet at the Hinsdale Oasis off I-294.
