I am wondering how many members we have in Vegas or Daytona. I am a regular visitor in Vegas, and I am starting planning on a Daytona bike week visit. I would love to get the chance to meet some more members. If any of you would like to meet up, or would be willing to give me some local info, that would be great. I will be in Las Vegas November 6 - 13. Without bike however. I always have planned to ride in Vegas, but alas it has not happened as of yet. Hope to hear from someone! Sonny

since the st. charles meet and eat was so much fun and successful the last three years. i have decided to make it a regular 3 day meet. there is something which we have missed in the last meets that people will enjoy. thursday the first day of the meet we will visit some of the neat stuff in historic downtown st. charles and those wanting to hit the casinos can do that. all this stuff is about 5 minutes from the motels. friday we will do our hannibal ride with a different scenic route, and dinner at a great pizza house. saturday will be the scenic ride to herman, mo. to visit the wineries and back to my house for the barbeque. as usual wed. night at my house for pie and coffee for early arrivals. the dates are 7th, 8th, and 9th, of may, 2009. i will post motels and more details when i get it all together. this overides my earlier post. hope to see a bunch there. bill

This saturday we went to Fayetteville NC to visit Jeff's Aunt and Grandmother. They were staying down there with his cousin Dean. He's in the army. We had a great time and got to meet Dean's new girlfriend, and his new dog. We also got to see his new toy. After his last return from Iraq he went out and got himself a bike. He bought a Harley. We told him we loved him anyway. Anyway I took a couple of pics of his new toy. So if your down in the area and you see a guy on this bike you'll know who he is. He has to go back to Iraq in June. I'm hoping to get him and his girlfriend to come to our annual year end/beginning meet on Jan 3rd. Here's the pics of his bike. Plus I threw in a pic of Jeff, Trisha, Dean and the dog (Shannon) and a pic of Jeff with his grandmother.

We've decided where to go on our annual anniversary trip. We're heading to Mackinaw City, MI. We should be there from Monday Sept 29th to Friday October 3rd. So far we've planned to go and not much else. We're going to stay in Mackinaw City and take day trips to various places and sights in Northern MI. I know we plan to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. I haven't been there since I was a kid and my wife has never been there. I know we'll also be stopping in Petoskey, MI. My mother used to spend summers up there as a kid and I kinda want to see the place. Other than that we have no plans. October 2nd is our anniversary so that day I suppose I should find something special to do. We are both water rats. We love being on the water so if there are tour boats in the area, I'm sure we'll be on one. I kinda want to run down the Lake Huron lake front a bit. Huron is the only lake of the Great Lakes that I have not been on and I've only see it once back in 1998. Also, if anyone is in the area then we'd like to meet ya one afternoon. A meet and eat for sure. So, what's in the Northern Michigan area that is a must see or must do? Cheers and Michigan here we come!

What can I say. Linda and I road down on Saturday (great day to be out) and had aterrific time at the museum. They have done a fantastic job of restoring the old bikes. Are the ever cool. If you like motorcycles, and who here doesn't, you owe it to yourself to go. Would make for a great meet and eat. You can trace the eveolution of mc's back to the begining, and work you way up. HD made some very interesting stuff that you would not think would be made by them. I will try to post some pictures.

Well the first Pa meet n eat was a hit. I think we had 18 bikes total, got to meet alot of new folks and spend some time with old friends. It was perfect from start to finish lots of time to BS at the meeting place, the weather was amazing, nice ride to the diner, good food served up quick. Went for a nice 2 hr ride on some of the smoothest roads in Pa:rasberry: Stopped at a great little farm for homemade Ice cream, and witnesssed a beautiful outdoor wedding overlooking the Susq. river. Special thanks to Randy for all his work in putting this together, and thanks to all who came and supported this event. We will definetly do it again. Craig:clap2:

Cecdoo and I are thinking of putting together a South Central PA Meet & Eat. The tentative plan is to meet at The Brown Cow on Route 74 in Collinsville, York Co. Have some good food and get to know everyone. Then, I plotted out a route from there, down to Conowingo, across the Susqueshanna and back up to Columbia which is about a 2 hour ride. Date is open but we are thinking a Saturday or Sunday in September. Anyone interested?

i know it's early, but now that the eureka springs meet is behind us and i have a little rest from the initial set up of the 2009 international rally, i am starting to work on the best st. charles meet and eat of all times. the last three were awesome so i decided to make this one a regular 2 day meet with two great rides. one being to historic hannibal mo. and the other to herman, mo. to visit a neat little german town and the wineries. both are tremendous rides of about 200 mile round trip. it will be some time in may or early june. just want to let everyone know so you can keep the calender open. i try to schedule it so it does'nt interfere with dons maintenance day. i will have motels listed ,and for those that like to gamble like cindy and dale, they are near the river boats. last years meet and eat was awesome, and i had so much fun i thought i would try to double it. i am going to have a big barbeque for the grand finally at my house, same as last year. best part it is all free. looking forward to seeing a bunch of you folks. bill :clap2:

I meet a new RSV owner yesterday. He had bought a brand new 08 black chery/black a very pretty bike. we got to talking and i gave him a card for the site. he said he loved the bike but he didnt like the noise coming from the motor told him it might not be the engine but the chirp that we all had or have but then i got to thinking that read on here that Yamaha fixed that problem on the 07 or 08 was i right or not but any i told him to take it back and have them check it out any way. I am sure i will run into him and his very nice wife again seeing how they are only an hour away.

Wife & I have a cabin rented in Hocking Hills for the weekend of Sept. 19 & 20. Wondered if anyone lives close. Won't have a lot of time, but maybe could get together for a meal and get to meet some members from this great group. Gil:banana:

Well, I finally had some time to install mine today. Didn't take very long at all. The bracket from CarbonOne worked great and the directions were clear. It is very loud. With the hurricane passing through here today, I didn't get much ride time, but tomorrow I will be heading up to the PA/MD border to meet some friends. If I don't have an opportunity to use the horn along the way, I definitely will upon arrival at the meet location. Hopefully I blow them out of their boots. Ride safe, TTW
