How about a picnic / cookout at the park? I can bring my world famous (well, locally famous) meatballs and some rolls. If we all bring something, it can be one mighty fine picnic. Anyone else think this would be a good idea?
2009 East Coast Rally
- Thread starter KilroyCD
- Start date
Bonnie wants to know if the picnic is lunch or supper? She said she would bring her macaroni salad. Also I checked & they still had my reservations. Quenton said they lost his and they had to rebook. I was a little concerned when it took the guy a while to find ours. Thought for a minute we'd be camping out at the park. Everyone that booked at the Red Mill Inn might want to call & see if they still have a room.

Sounds great. We can bring some stromboli. What time are we all planning to meet at Cape Henlopen State Park on Saturday?
The rally starts at 9am (give or take). Jay, the picnic will be at lunchtime. I checked my reservations at the Red Mill Inn, and we're still in.
SIGNAGE: Once you enter the park, look for signs to direct you to the site. They will just say "MB Rally" and have an arrow telling you which direction to turn. I'd post a photo, but I haven't made them yet.
By the way, Cape Henlopen State Park is not a free park, there is a charge to enter. It's not quite off-season yet. That's when the park is free to enter. I tried to find the fee information online, but they only list rental fees for pavilions, etc.

I just got confirmation from park officials that we will be able to set up at the same spot as last year, but to keep in mind that the area is first come, first served. Those of us who were there last year know which area it is, so the earlier someone can get there on Saturday morning, the better. Also, it was confirmed that we will be storing the bikes overnight in Battery 519 - the same underground WWII Coastal Artillery Battery we stored the bikes in last year.

I'm almost ready. I took off work tomorrow. Will load 3 bikes in my mini van. Quenton did it last year & I'm going to get them in. Bonnie's afraid there won't be room for the suitcase. I told her bikes are more important than clothes (I'm not sure if that sounds right). Don't worry, we'll be wearing something when we get there.
Hey, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the Rally I'll be bringing two of my greenline stretch cruisers which have china-gurl 2-strokes on them presently, haven't as of this time installed my ezmotorbike kit on the Worksman newspaper boy cruiser.
Peace Crazy Horse, aka Joe.

!HOW! Crazy Horse here,
I'm bringing a Black Stretch Cruiser & a Chrome Bling Stretch Cruiser they both have 2-stroke chingurl's, also bringing a rat rod bobber which has the lifan 4-stroke 49cc motor.
It's a 2-hour drive from Rockville, Maryland to Cape Henolopen State Park in Lewes / Rehobeth Beach Delaware. I know it's an easy drive for us compared to the distance some have to travel.
See you there!

2009 East Coast Rally Report
Hello everyone.
The rally was a great success. The weather gods smiled upon us and even though it rained last night, the skies cleared on Sunday. What a wonderful place to hold a gathering. We had the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Delaware Bay on the other. The park has a rich history of coastal defense during WWII with many gun emplacements and other building to explore. We got to test out the new Q-Matic drive from EZM on a Harbor Freight 79cc 2.5HP engine. We have one mounted in the frame of a Schwinn Corvette and although it was a tight fit, it worked very well. Ray also successfully mounted one in frame too and they said to couldn't be done. There were many Whizzers, EZM's, China Girls, and a few other 4 stroke engine kits represented at the event. Here are some pictures. I'm sure others will post some too.

P.S. I am only able to upload 5 pictures... bummer

Here are 5 more pictures. In picture # 2 check out the smile on her face. This was her first time on a motored bike. I don't think it will be her last! I can't wait for next year already.
