We have finalized the scheduling of the following events for the Curve Cowboy Reunion. It looks like we are going to have a stimulating and successful event once again.

There are many activities planned so be sure to keep an eye on the website at: this page for all of the great plans we have made. We have receptions at the hotel and at BMW of Santa Fe as well as a great Banquet at the Finale. There will be fun and entertainment. There will be tours of historic Santa Fe offered by local tour companies* (see brochure), local festivities, and plenty of time to meet and visit with fellow LT riders. Also be sure to make plans to “ride baby ride!” through all of the great scenery that New Mexico has to offer. 

*Note:  Tours are offered by local third-party tour companies and are not affiliated with the Curve Cowboy Reunion.

• These sessions will be hosted by Mark Neblett and Don Arthur in the Cabaret. The presenters and volunteers will perform a complete disassembly and the major 24,000 mile service on two bikes simultaneously. The venue we are presenting this in is a cabaret and should lead to some excellent accessibility and view by all attendees. The process will be narrated by the presenters and there will be plenty of time for questions and answers. As we accomplished in Hot Springs last year this will greatly demystify all of the goings on under the sleek skin of the K1200LT. BMW of Santa Fe has graciously committed to providing all of the materials necessary to perform these services. If you missed it last year be sure and attend this year, this education can save you money by letting you see how much of the scheduled maintenance you can do yourself. It will also make you a little more understanding of what the dealer is charging you for. 
  
• One of our guests from BMWNA will introduce himself and speak briefly. 

• This presentation will be made by Jim Lippert in the Meeting Room and will cover the various lighting options available for the LT. He will cover all of the various lighting options available to make the road more visible as well as making you more visible from all directions. 

• Line up in the upper parking lot.  Be ready to depart the Radisson for BMW of Santa Fe by 5:30pm.  The Santa Fe Police Department will be providing an escort from the Radisson to BMW of Santa Fe.

• This reception will take place at BMW of Santa Fe, and is hosted by Ed Lind and Mike Houx of BMW Santa Fe and BMW North America, represented by Rick Doyle and Tom Lawrence. Not only will we enjoy the hospitality of one of the friendliest dealers in the nation, but the BMW Road Show will be available for those coveted demo rides as well.

• This will be a meet and greet and an opportunity to look at and talk about any accessories or modifications that have been done by various LT owners. It will be held in the Lower Parking Lot and will be hosted by Randy Prade, Mark Neblett and others TBA. We will make an area in the lower parking lot where anyone who wishes to may bring their LT and show off the changes they have made to individualize their machine. I will have my LT with the Bushtec trailer as will Mark and Don will show off his LD rider equipped LT. Each of  you is invited to bring your bike down and show off your “pride and joy”. 

• Bruce Yates will again hold his seminar to help sort out the confusion and options in these erratic financial times. Bruce’s seminar last year was the surprise hit of the event. He (and the planners) received a great deal of flack for putting a financial seminar on at a “biker” event. When the session was over, all of the attendees left with some new understandings of financial planning in these confusing times. To all of them it was a hit. This once again proves that LT riders are not your average “biker”. Bruce is a savvy investment counselor and puts on an excellent presentation. We already have huge interest in this session so make your plans to attend.  This will be held in the Meeting Room

• Though the entertainment and the food service starts at 3:20 PM, the Burning takes place at dusk. More than 30,000 people attended the Burning of Zozobra last year. Parking at this event is nonexistent after 2:00 PM. All we have to do is to walk to the De Vargas Mall just below the Radisson and follow the crowds to the park. Tickets will be available at the CCRIII registration location at the Radisson.

• Join us in the Main Banquet Hall for the climax to the Curve Cowboy Reunion.  Words will no doubt, fall short of describing the antics of which you will bear witness by attending the CCR III banquet. You have strong hints in the photo archives from CCR II and the strings of posts dedicated to the topic thus far. "Rowdy", "touching", "tears", and "cheers" come to mind when reminiscing about last year's banquet.  Sandy and Denise have shared much personal effort and time to the success of the banquet. The banquet is also the vehicle used to host the Silent Auction. The list of donated items is staggering to say the least! Applause goes to Grif on this one. Don't miss it for your sake!
