Re: [smbc] Solvang Ride and Motorcycle Museum

Hello Riders,

If you are planning on taking the ride to the Solvang Motorcycle Museum on 
November 11, be aware that the Best Western in Buellton is sold out.

There are still rooms at the near by Days Inn (805) 688-8448:
http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=11567&brandInfo=DI

or the near by Quality Inn (800) 616-0246
http://www.qualityinnbuellton.com/

Please send me an email if you are attending and I will call the museum in 
advance to advise them of our arrival.

Dan
