Calling all OC/LA/IE M5 Owners - Caravan to MFEST V thread

MFest V is just over a month away. I thought I'd start out the caravan thread now. Anyone sign up for it yet? We can all meet up at Bass Pro Shops right off the 15 fwy, they have a nice big parking lot. Its also a good meeting point for all 3 counties since more than likely you'll have to pass through there as you head to Vegas.

If you haven't registered, the cutoff is March 22. That is in 10 days!!!
Registration fee is $150 and takes 5 seconds to do it. Don't even have to bust out your credit card. The system will take you to paypal and suck the money right out of your checking account. Make sure you choose the size for the $150 tshirt.

Here's the link to register:
Registration: Official Mfest V "The Ultimatum" April 22-24, 2011 - MFest Forums

Sup brah! Honestly I haven't checked for caravan threads at the MFest board. I will check it later and give an update.

We have a good group in the IE going, just wondering where the heck they are all at, must be busy. But thanks for signing up, now I don't feel so alone!!!

Havasusteve, Eddie, YK, Javier, pharmdogg, Revo, where are you guys??? You guys going? Winter is over, brush the cobwebs of your beasts. (like we really had a winter, lol).

What's up fellas? Im in da house. As you can from my signature, I've been busy with upgrades... My Beast has also been in the shop for over a week with a ECU that needs to be replaced (should be in tomorrow) and I had a leak in my oil cooler and was also leaking coolant. All covered under my extended warranty though and hopefully I'll be back and running Mon or Tue. Of course you know I'm going to MFest. Where are you all meeting at? I'll check the MFest site for the IE meet up location. It's gonna be sick and it's of course sold out!

YK! Wassup man! You've been busy with your car, lots of new mods, can't wait to see it.

Thanks for signing up for the list. Talk about thread fail, hahahahaha!

Still haven't checked Mfest for the caravan site, but for sure I will meet up with all of you before heading up to LV. Just been busy, got back from a week in mormon country and heading out now to mammoth for another week of epic riding. Major dumpage going on right now.

What's up fellas. Is the plan for us to form our own caravan? If so, we should leave early to avoid the long caravans and more importantly, the long wait at the hotel. Thoughts?? I went to the LTBMW meet today and met up with some other members who are willing to go early to MFest to avoid the crowds.

1. M5 Jed
2. Khyber

4. Tiger

Hey Gents! I strongly feel we should ride along with the IE caravan as that's one of the fun parts of it (I'm told and read) to ride up to Barstow with all the other M's then everyone caravan together from all over the stage country to Vegas. I've read that they are very well organized and do a good job of getting everyone taken care of once up there. 26 days and countin'!

You're probable right YK. I met some folks yesterday who've done the caravan but are leaving early this year. I'd rather ride with our group/people I know whether early or caravan.
