Slingshots Booze & Blues (Thu, Sep 22nd 2016, 8:00am - Sun, Sep 25th 2016, 8:00pm)

Quote from MACAWS

Well sir it is on your way beck from the Adirondacks to Florida and I for one would be honored if you attend. I am sure somehow we could figure out a way for you to do some fund raising for your cause. If you are coming let me know what I can do to help and I will flex my muscle with the sponsors. Our local dealer and big contributor does tons of fun raising for Duke Children's hospital and my daughter will be a Doctor on staff there are a staring in a few weeks...

Wish I was that group but I have had to become a solo act and go it alone. However I hope to head back east from my tour and meeting with St. Jude in Memphis to see you all at this event God willing and the weather permitting!
Think Happy thoughts and remember the children!!!

OK Folks here are our latest updates.

First we have another option for anyone who may not be a fan of the Blues and may prefer a more spirited adventure.
The second annual Shine and Wine in Chase city has come on board with our event.

@ethermion and I are headed to the Tidewater area this Saturday to prostitute oops I mean to solicit.... Dang that didn't sound right.

We are driving down to Polaris dealers to tell them what's going on in September and to post the posters that @MACAWS mailed me.

There, that sounded better.

If anyone needs the description of true fiends - these two set the example. Thank you!

Lol@pimp!. Now that you mention it....

Prostitutes, pimps, pink fedoras, true fiends? No problem. But frankly I was just hoping for good weather and a nice ride.

Oh we're "fiends" alright. Lol

It is because your looking at the discussion of the event..... Click on the "show event" at the bottom of article... Then that will carry you to the calendar event... that will let you click the manage participation button and add yourself....

I also corrected the mop position and the length of the event on the calendar....

For any of you who just want to make it a leisurely weekend and venture out on your own, here is a list of links to attractions in the area. If you have any questions feel free to contact me thru PM or email at SBB16@hughes.net

UPDATES: Friday Night at The Movie

I met yesterday with the owners of the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theater to try and nail down a few details.
First was the movie - Looks like the first movie of the double feature will be of our choosing so trying to stay with a theme fitting a road rally, we have the following choices "Smokey & the Bandit" "Cannonball Run" "Gumball Rally" "Fast & Furious" - If someone has another request let me know. I would love to get some input from those who will be attending as I can watch any of these movies more than once. PLEASE VOTE as soon as you can.

We will be starting out from Clarksville Friday late morning and riding down to Brewer Cycles. Our beautiful hostess Kristie is still finalizing the days itinerary and will be posting it shortly. But there will be a Lunch at the dealership with a representative from Polaris then a ride around the lake ending at the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theater.
We will most likely be arriving at the theater around 6pm and the movie starts at dark 7:45 to 8:00. W will have our own area for parking and this will give us all a chance to unwind from the days events and grab some food. Here is a link to what is available at the concession
http://www.raleighroaddrivein.…ful-info/concession-menu/

The management will be offering us 2 options either a pay one price movie ticket and meal or movie ticket only. You will have a choice and I will post details once available.

The sound for the movie is transmitted thru FM radios, this is normally not an issue if you are in a car but since the Slingshot is a motorcycle your lights would be on at the same time and that is not good for your battery or the movie. So if you have any type of portable radio please bring it with you. There will be some available at the theater but numbers are limited.

If you want to know a little more about the theater here is their website http://www.raleighroaddrivein.com/
We had several Drive In theaters when I was growing up and it was always family night out - ok sometimes you just took your favorite girl in the van but those nights you never watched the movie. If you have never been to a drive in you will have a great time. There are only a few hundred Outdoor Theaters left in the country but back in the 50's and 60's they were one of the most popular places to go. Some of us are old enough to remember and some of us have never had the experience. Either way I know you will enjoy it.

Thanks to all for your support
Mitch

Ok Just for giggles here is something from Cheech & Chong about going to the drive inn - for those of us who can remember one of the fun things to do was see how many people you can sneak in

Enjoy

Where do we vote?. Here?. If so then cannonball run is my vote.

Having seen none of those movies. I vote for whatever the doc votes for.

OK so far we have 3 for Cannonball Run
