I've been watching the Cannonball official site since Jan,.....
but a few weeks ago, Dennis Bennet (south dakota) contacted me that the "rest day" for the cannonball will indeed be Dodge City Kansas... Dennis is an active member of the AMAA, who is volunteering some time at the cannonball.
We have some rooms reserved in 2 different Motels down there. It sounds like at this time for those of you with interest there are around 10 extra beds not spoken for....
At this point, these X owners have shown interest, and are doing to try and make the trip... Tim Dworak and his brother out of Seward Nebraska (R/O), Dennis Bennet outta south dakota (DWS), Jeff Brown outta Lincoln NebraXi (tribute X), Devin Nielsen outta Lincoln NebraXi (on our old Blu), Roger Hodge outta Broken Bow NebraXi (G/O), Darin Owens Omaha NebraXi (DWS), Ed Hatter Omaha NebraXi (G/O), Chad Arndt St. Jo Missiouri (Jennie), and others locally. PLUS interested again...  Ken Bretz minnesota and Hotlanta, and Mike Locklear outta Cleveland....

If you are interested in attending with us silly flatlanders.... take note, you want to make a decision soon, as rooms are filling up. Besides the cannonball rolling thru, there is some sort of dog show in town at the same time...
Contact me here if you wish..... or meet us there....   As all of us flatlanders are pretty near sited, we won't notice if you are not from our part of the country...      we had a pretty good time in 2014...

I was contacted by my motel this week, asking about the cannonball and details. She stated they were just about full. YOU think you are going to attend, you may wish to decide now.... 

if you have never attended, its something to really see. Its fun going with a bunch of X owners besides.

So, what are the hotels?  Looks like travel out on Sept 17/18 for rest day in Dodge?  Are the hotels the ones listed on the cannonball link?  I'd sure like to go.

Mr. Black heart....
Some of us have rooms reserved at the Comfort Suite in Dodge city. We all have extra beds, if you are interested in purchasing one. At the comfort Suite, we have 6 Extra beds... I do not believe Comfort Suites has any more rooms availible. Contact me if you want one of these beds...
Roger Hodge who is staying on the west end of Town I believe also has 3 or 4 extra beds. Contact Roger Hodge if you want one of his extras.

As for the cannonballers, they are in assorted motels across town.
Comfort Suites is within a couple of blocks of a majority of motels. When we attended 2014, a lot of teams worked on their bikes in the hotel parking lots. Plus the mobil machine shop was at Walmart. The local Harley shop also opened up to the cannonballers.

I hope this answered your questions... if not.... ask away.  ....

Well.... us flatlanders are getting close.... and Xcited.
appears to be about 400 Xs are going to show.... mostly NebraXi owners...   

oh no wait....   make that 8..... that silly riff raff Jumper... LOLOL.. ... plus a possible 3 other breeds.
hmm.... Jumper, does 8 X's make it a National Regional meet? .... LOL
We'll be starting out (saturday)  with 2 of us from my place, and as we head south we'll be picking up more on the way. With it looks like 3 meeting us in the big town of Dodge City.

And as usual a great time is expected. For some of us, it will be the first time they have done any X event, let alone seen more than 2 in the same place.
I can remember my first (un)official X event in Sturgis years ago.... still makes me smile.
