    BRPR 2020 May 28-31

    Kind of gave away the meat of the story in the title but this year we're trying a different weekend, May 28-31. Apologies to those who wanted the traditional, but this date was selected by climatological science, scouring local college graduation dates, avoiding Memorial Day, and getting it in before schools in Virginia get out. Tried to find a Chinese guy that could do those fortune telling sticks like Hop Sing on Bonanza but evidently that's a lost art. So here are the details:

    It's at the Wattstull Inn in beautiful Buchanan, VA at the Arcadia exit off I-81. They treat us right at the Wattstull. Ann gave us a discounted room rate of $75 a night plus tax, which works out to $84.26. With a roommate that costs you a whopping $42.13 a night. If you don't have $42 worth of fun Joe will refund the registration fee for TRP. Normal rate would be $94.46. She's blocked off the whole place, 26 rooms and will hold until April 1. Number for the Wattstull is (540) 254-1551, tell them you're with the BMW group. I forgot to ask about the online thing, I can call her back this afternoon. She said that one night would be placed on your card as a hold. Informally she sounded pretty flexible on cancellations, but remember this is a family business that treats us well so do your best not to jerk them around. Not only do they put up with our shit, they welcome it. They've even gone so far as to shoot fireworks in our honor....at 1 AM. No one bothers you about having a beer and there's good riding close by in every direction. So in summation:

    BRPR 2020
    May 28-31
    Wattstull Inn, Buchanan, VA
    540-254-1551


    Hope to see you there!

        OK, just made my reservation and Ann said for now call in to make your reservation to get the discounted rate. Sounds like they were doing some maintenance or upgrades to their online reservation system. If that changes I'll let you know. She said it was $10 less than last year but I don't remember.

                  He's putting a KTM bag on it. And I guarantee that thing will see a dirt road or three in its life.

                  Even with BMJ "tendencies"...for what that thing costs and how purty it is...I bet not. If he does, I'll disown him. LOL!

                  I have also snagged a room. Two double beds. If anyone wants to share the cost of the room give me a PM shout.

                    Jump on in. It's fun taking inappropriate bikes into all the most fun places:

                      Not to me. Right tool for the job floats my boat...?

                      Just like when you've been hanging out in the wrong part of town, the stink washes off, and it's good as, well, it ever was. But in fairness, I think the same thing about guys that go spend a buttload on a shiny red Multistrada and then take it off in the woods. Not nearly as many of those as us GS enduro riders.

                    By the way, I may be selling my KTM 1290R this spring so I'll likely be at the BRPR on my GS. BillGSA showed me that it's a faster bike in the twisties

                    I'm taking the GS in next week to get a set of the new Dunlop Mission Trailmax shoes on it to set it up for road trips this year.

                        I've been waiting on the Dunlops for a month already. If they don't come in by the end of the month I'll be shoeing it with the Stinkos.
