Alright ladies and gentlemen - It's officially official.

The 2014 Meetup is happening May 16-19 in Clarksville, Arkansas.

The plan: arrive Friday, ride all day Saturday and Sunday, then head home Monday. We are returning to our usual haunt: The Day's Inn in Clarksville, home of the Ramen Noodle Pool.

Days Inn Clarksville
2600 West Main Street, Clarksville, AR
(479) 754-8555

OK - here's the Days Inn room rate info:

Rate for Double-occupancy (2 full-size beds) was quoted to me @ $60.75 per night. When calling to make your reservation, if you are given a different rate, please ask for "BD". Tell him that you are with the MotoVlog group. He is pretty hard to understand on the phone, so don't be in a hurry or in a noisy place when you call. If you can get them to confirm your reservation via email - I would do that. ;)

For those that are new or don't know what to expect, you will find that you'll have a hell of a time. We will ride. We will eat. We will tell tall tales. We will drink. Then we will ride again.

Check THIS THREAD and THIS THREAD for past year's shenanigans.

If you are not an experienced rider, do NOT be intimidated or discouraged. We will split groups according to comfort/skill level - Fast people can ride fast and those of us who are more sedate will take it more scenic-like. We have had a great safety record over the past several years and intend to keep it that way. We will also have dedicated sweep riders to make sure no one gets lost or left behind.

While this thread will serve as the official depository of information on the meetup I also suggest you JOIN THIS FACEBOOK GROUP to keep abreast of any miscellaneous information.

Trinith will head up route selection and will post details as they are available.

Someone needs to call the hotel and broker a rate for the group - any volunteers?



Ok, new(ish) maps for this year:
Sat - http://bit.ly/1fEtxF2 Lunch at Penguin Eds (maybe this time they don't forget my damn food!) Slight modification thanks to XXX526, says it's a blast. Group photo at point F.

Sunday - http://bit.ly/1h1qrLM Lunch at the Ozarks Cafe. We're running this one backwards compared to last year, so the weak who want to go back to misery can do so after lunch at the Ozarks Cafe.

Got it on my work calendar to put in for my time off in March. They have this silly policy that you can only put in for stuff up to 60 days out. Oh well. Ready for May to get here. Anybody looking for a roomate?
 
I'll do this, Matt.
Call the Best Western too, see what they say about group rates. We tried a few years ago with the Days Inn and they couldn't pull it off. He said no discount, and then when I asked him to group us all together they said they would and didn't. I wouldn't hold my breath on getting anywhere to be honest.
 
Whenever I get the chance to do everything I need to do I'm going to edit the top post with the relevant info. Should have a video or two coming about this, but I'm fighting with an SD card that has decided to be flaky. :(

I'm having trouble getting a hold of "someone in charge", lol. They are no longer a Days Inn. There's always the Super 8. :D

Sent both you and Matt a new "conversation" regarding this.
 
The owner confirmed they are no longer a Days Inn, but I have the feeling they are not changing their sign out front, lol.
 
I thought it was closed for good as well. Looking forward to this year! Is it May yet?
Someone said he'd mentioned it was closed permanently. It seems like they may be hurting for money a bit, with the general condition of the place and losing the Days Inn ride. Pools require LOTS of money for insurance and upkeep. I doubt they'll reopen it.

The owner last year told be the pool was permanently closed. Too bad too.
 
You're all welcome to sneak in to Dodge's chicken and sleep on the floor with me. Just don't tell the manager... I think it would be best if they didn't know what we were up to!
 
I'm in. I'll be looking for a room mate also. Gender not an issue. I'm making a reservation this time, so if you're a cash only type, I'm your guy.
