Barrycuda Posted April 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2017 It's been a very long time since we had a real group of Florida riders get together and share lunch and stories. Been emailing Dion and have been thinking about he and I getting together and we will too since we have always been friendly/friends. That said, how many newer,older Florida riders would be interested in having a meet and eat? the bike you ride means nothing. We used to do this every so often and with decent turn outs. Last few just fizzled. Life happens and people get caught up, myself included. So.... How many of y'all would be interested in attending. No pressure and we try to meet at a more centralized spot, although that is always a challenge. Either way, Dhj3/Dion and myself will be making a trip which the date depends on the reply here. Any interested parties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget the fellows name rite this minute. But I will tell him about our happy little group. lol I too am going to ride up to Leesburg next weekend.

Barrycuda Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share #16 Posted April 28, 2017 What's everyone's availability Saturday ,May 6???? Due to the incredibly warm weather already, I am thinking how about a breakfast meet? There is a fantastic Amish place called Der Dutchman in Sarasota. Excellent food with a great buffet. Good atmosphere and perhaps a ride for almost all of us. Thinking 9:30? I am up for other suggestions, dats, times and places, but let's try to figure this out so we can start a new run of VR meet and eats. What do y'all think???

BlueBeard Posted April 28, 2017 Share #17 Posted April 28, 2017 Der Dutchman has a good breakfast buffet and lots of room. If you get a count I would be happy to go there ahead of the ride and see if we can set an area aside for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted April 29, 2017 Share #18 Posted April 29, 2017 Should be OK by us. Might go by my sisters in Nokomis after being we will be over there. Leaving about 8 am tomorrow to go to Leesburg.

M61A1MECH Posted April 29, 2017 Share #20 Posted April 29, 2017 Barry As long as nothing major changes between now and next weekend we, yes I said we, will be there. Deciding now if we want to leave early on Saturday and maybe do some sight seeing and spend the night and come back on Sunday. Or brave the evening traffic in Orlando then Tampa area and spend the night Friday and come back Saturday. Either way we are planning to be there.

I am seriously considering it but I am down to my 750 Vulcan and that is a 3 hr ride each way depending on how many stops I have to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great idea Yamaha had, actually caring at one point about the model. As for the riding, definitely get in touch with me when you get settled. There are a lot of back roads I travel solo through here and would love to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom, thanks a "tuff" call on your end. Either way I understand. Hey, take the car if you want. Steve, sounds good. I always love seeing you and M ( you know that already ) Dion, and Blue Beard, so it looks like confirmation for next Saturday. VR riders first M and E of 2017.....woo hoo Saturday May 6 Can we do about 9:00? ( was there last time before 8:30 and it was getting packed). Disclosure: I prefer earlier but will take group overall census Der Dutchman restaurant ( and killer bakery) 3713 Bahia Vista St. Sarasota, Florida, 34232 (941)955-8007 bring anyone you wish, if anyone is in favor for earlier or a ride afterwards through and near Sarasota that's an option. keep an open mind.
