Maybe bumper carrier on car, or just leave the car at home. But if Barb can bring a whole circus, monkey and all, I know if there is a will there is a way. If we can get enough bikers to come we can start our own gang. Mutant Angles or Mutants from Hell might be a good name.

I'd be happy to give you some pointers on how to haul everything you own on your RV and toad. When I first started traveling I carried a scooter on one of these -

I had an Aunt who played the Accordion, she learned it from my first Boyfriends Mom, never was too fond of those. But that Aunt was my favorite Aunt anyway.

Gene and Judy Lee from Michigan have signed up for the FEUMGC (did I get that right?). We met them last winter in Tucson and have been trying to get them involved. I idn't tell them about the initiation ceremony, didn't want to scare them off...
Now if I could just get them to start posting on here...

RVM 172 reporting in.....uh...initiation ceremony? What the devil am I in for? [emoji1] [emoji1]

About the accordion, Myron-a-Clorine did OK, and so did Steve Urkel! Hahahaha! A wonnerful, a wonnerful!

I have a one speed Walmart special. It was pretty banged up from hanging around awhile, but the right. I never had or learned how to use more than one speed. I was lucky to have something with brakes.

I have a beautiful red accordion in the basement in KS. Started taking lessons when the darn thing was bigger than I was. It’s for sale—any takers?

Besides my own band I taught the accordion to basic beginners.

There is still hope for you Tim, just buy and accordion. I'm sure I could teach you how to "squeeze."

HI Colleen! [emoji112] I used to buy instruments because I liked their sound. Finally beat the habit, so I'm not taking your offer. Sorry.

Problem is I don't practice. Also have no sustained focus. One item is a small Italian concertina, because that (& accordion) was part of the music my English clogging side (team, group) danced to. Love that sound.

It seems we could manage a polka band if we started early enough. Now that would be a hoot! MI too soon?

Thanks Barb
I knew you would have some great pointers after seeing everything you bring on some trips. Something like that may be the cats meow for my needs. My little bike only weighs 320 pounds, so not very heavy in the motorcycle world. Our new cycle gang is in the planning stage, but we will have the inaugural ride in Michigan in September. If it has wheels on it you are welcome to join in the fun. Bike, trike, Honda or Harley, one speed or twenty. We may just cruise around the campground on this first run. Our theme song will be “Leader of the Pack” by the Shangri-Las. Colleen likes the Mutants from Hell name, as she says that’s who we are! And our gang slogan will be “The Bar is the Destination”

Well, you could always stop at Frankenmuth and get "polka charged", then on to the symposium and play Leader Of The Pack on the accordion? [emoji41] [emoji1] [emoji106]

Reminds me of the song
Mamas got a squeezebox daddy never sleeps at night

You are guaranteed to be the leader! You will be the only one with a motor!
I too got banned from Motorcycles years back. I'm still alive!

Wayne... put the 2 old accordions in the front seat of the car. Go to all night Dennys about 2 am. Go in and eat, and when you come out... you'll find your car broken into and 3 accordions.

I used to play the accordion years ago, but I played it by ear. You can sure get a crick in your neck after a good song!
