Ige, I didn't even include the 5-day April road trip BACK TO COLORADO, where I ended up scrounging parts in your basement!

I try to do at least 1 TLCA sanctioned event each year. I had a great time at the Lone Star RoundUp and Rubithon this year.

Great Year....Jamboree, Roundup,GSMTR, Ramble, Family Reunion, FlatNasty, Cruiser Crawl, Surf-N-Turf.

Will see how next year pans out

Hey kids;
Jack (Medusa, who started this) has asked me to delete this thread so's he could start over later. He's made some errors he doesn't like in building the poll. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up before I proceed...

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

[Texican]

I voted but since then I have attended one other as has Ige.....wait, SNT is not a sanctioned event is it?

[Cruiser Jimmy]

1 GSMTR

We hope to have a TLCA event in the Midwest. An annual Hoosier Hoedown is in the planning.

Lonestar is too early in the year for me, so it's gonna be either CM '07 or BHCC '07 for my out west trip this year. Then GSMTR, & prolly Cruiser Crawl. Hope to see some familiar faces out there!

Whoops edited for the NEW YEAR.......

Howdy Jack;
Sorry I'm so late to the party: I just don't have much surf time anymore. The problem with this poll, as I see it from a marketing guys perspective...is that "yer preachin' to the choir here."
Us "sick bastids" that got nothing better to do than surf mud and pirate, and everything else cruiser related til the enxt event are in a distinct minority.
Only about 25-30% of TLCa mebers are chapter affiliated. I'm sure all you muthas who frequent the event circuit have noticed that you see maaaaany of the same folks at maaaaany of the same events.
I personally like see all youse mugs out there But be aware: most TLCA members join for the pretty magazine.
Here in TornadoAlley, we've made a concerted effort to have non-wheeling chapter events, and to try to promote them outside our circle of the usual suspects...by putting up fliers at NAPA, at the Toyota delaership parts, service, and sales counters, putting flyers on pakred toyota windshields...you catch my drift?

I looove Kowboy. I love the Par-tic-i-pation Mantra. But, it's my considered opinion upon considerable reflection, observation of the cruiser community, events circuit, serving on the TLCA board for approaching 10 years...that Joe member sin't going to participate at the level, or at the events that "we" typically go to.

Have a picnic. Have a show-n-shine. Have a swap meet. Have a float trip. Have the crew over to watch gollf on the shop while you build a bumper. Get the kids together while the dad's gawk at a new lift kit....Rinse and repeat. From what I've seen, the "community and camraderie" built this way is *the only thing* that will draw non-wheelers anywhere near a trail. "Oh, you and Jimmy are wheeling this weekend? Huh, maybe I'll give that a shot."

Misery loves company right? Drive up and visit your relatives in Scum Valley and I'll take you wheeling. I don't foresee anything in my future. First year of TLCA drought since 1999 for me.

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Why don't you guys have your own TLCA knockoff event?

You could make some TLCO (<- organization) shirts... Hehehe
