Wow, intresting how an old post gets twisted, but with the Mesh, I have learned to expect a twist. Anyway great job on the patches. I agree with Dale, two rides with the Crew or Ocala Rally, you got a patch. Looking forward to seeing all the new members in Ocala. But please remember that Dale is out of pocket on the patches and you need to contribute to the Ocala fund for the BBQ and all the extras.
I'll be sending my Ocala contribution come Sept, I just need someone to let me know how to get it to the right place.

Contributing to the Ocala fund is guaranteed, consider it my way of saying thanks to everyone for being such a great group of people and a show of my support. Plus, I wouldn't feel right accepting a patch without tossing Dale some cash for that too because as you stated, it's out of his pocket and he deserves to be compensated.

It's the least I can do since I'm planning on making it to the rally!On a side note... what's the environment there at Ocala? Would it be appropriate to bring my son? Or is it aimed more towards the adults?

Understandable and I can completely respect that too. And thinking about it, probably for the best if I go solo for Ocala anyways (I mean he's 17, 18 in Dec, but this way I won't have to worry about keeping an eye on him, which I would end up doing since it would be his 1st rally).
Are there any of the rides (ie: non-rally events) that occur throughout the year appropriate to bring him along on? Or should I just plan on hitting most of those solo? I appreciate the input, since where I'm originally from, there wasn't really any sort of rides or anything aside from 1 or 2 HOG runs.

Some alcohol was observed last year (and the year before). Some male nudeness (if bulldog moe shows up).
We stuffed about 30 people into a bathroom last year (didn't
set a record that I know of). Some banjo playing (not scary-movie type)...Planning rides, RIDING, eating oysters, Bar-b-que...and then more of the same above.
(Ocala Rally changes from year to year...but mostly it is the Florida Crew getting together and bonding....and alcohol, banjos....RIDING....eating...)
a 17 year old might get bored. LOL

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....there ain't no comparing anything HOG related to anything Crew related...if you thought the HOG runs sucked (which generally they do...i.e. too many rules...you gotta wear a helmet...you can't get out of the line....WE make the line...No smiling while riding...etc etc) your gonna love Crew rides..i.e. NO Rules Just Ride....and yeah your gonna smile ALOT!!
Smiling while riding...or NOT....should not be a rule. A smirk is acceptable on
most Crew rides. (Grins/smirks/snickers/shuckles and guffaws are equally accepted...chortles, although less popular.....are OK).
Sour-****** are still welcome, but do not stand too close to the banjo player.

Dale, are you going to be the set-up/money taker again this year?
If you are not...and you need seperate monies for hats/patches...who is collecting for the bar-b-ques and whatever may be extra? I may be OK financially, but others may need a heads up. I know, donations are gratefully accepted, otherwise this would not be pulled off, what with the 'no rules' clause.
Just wondering.
