  1. Heading out Sunday early (3)am for Salt Lake City, plan on being there on Monday morning/mid day. A friend who owns a KTM dealership here in Lexington and I are planning on making it under 36 hours. A couple guys from SLC have already offered their hospitality to show me around while my friend attends those boring meetings and such. Will attempt to be online Monday night with results-if my laptop decides to come out of its coma. It went comatose yesterday and is now on life support. At this time plans are to leave either Wednesday night or early Thursday morning for return to Ky. I'm gonna have a blast, been wanting to do this for years and i'm going to go even if I have to ride my Vulcan!

    5 Down

    Saturday afternoon, 10 bikes heading to a wedding. My friend was to be the best man. The groom was also in the pack. He and my friend were wearing their Tux under their leather ready to strip and say "I do". Many more were supposed to be riding with them including myself but some circumstances out of my control kept me away that day. Anyway, coming off Highway 2 (Trans Canada Hwy) they all took a right turn heading towards the church. Coming the opposite way was a cager with his young daughter. Apperently he was taking to her and not paying much attention to the road and his surrounding. A small curve (if you can even call that) was between the cager and the pack. The car kept going straight through the curve. Nicked the 3rd bike's left mirror and handle bar sending the rider towards the ditch. My buddy was the 4th in line and tried to go around the downed bike but the car never corrected his path of travel and kept coming across the center line hiting my friend on the left side with his bumper. He ended up with a borken leg in 2 places, broken arm and nose. Hiting my friend sent the car in a uncontroled spin which caused him to take 2 more bikes out. The second last rider laid her bike down and suffered only scratches and road rash. The last in line had enough time to see it all and took the the left lane and missed the whole crash by inches. All 5 down riders were taken to hospital. 1 was treated and released within hours. 1 was kept on observation with some minor fractures and has since been released. The other 3 including my friend, the groom and 1 other were kept in ICU until this morning. They are now listed as stable. All 3 have internal injuries with many broken bones. One has lost part of his foot which was amputated yesterday. My friend has 2 pins in his left leg and arm. All were members of the 2nd CAV (Canadian Army Veterans). Charges are pending on the car driver. I am just glad no one had major head injuries. I guess what my have saved them is the fact they were coming off a major Hwy exit and were just starting to pick up speed while the car was heading towards an exit and likely slowing down Down in the crash were 1 GoldWing, 2 Harleys and 2 Stars.
  3. Anyone here going to attend this? We have a condo there & will be heading there Friday. It runs Friday through Sunday. Just curious, hoping to meet some fellow VR members.
  4. We were thinking of heading down to this area and the last week of July. We were at Vogel a couple years back and really liked the area, but I am not really familiar with the MOuntain area and was wondering what is a must see or do. Just an idea but was thinking of heading down 75 to the knovillle area then heading home thru West virgina and PA. With a couple days of free time in the mountain areas. Anyone in the area have any suggestions it would be appreciated. Brad

  15. I'm heading to CA from Ontario in a week. Does anyone know of any list that shows which States you cannot ( or should I say not supposed to)wear 'headphones'. Appreciate the help.
  16. Well i did it. I went and put a down payment on a 2006 RSV black cherry. I have been a member here since Febuary but didnt have a bike. I had a 1st gen 83 that needed more repair than i could do but i just got rid of about 3 weeks ago and have been looking new one for about 4 months now. I really like the looks of the 2ng gens. I could'nt make up my mind on which color to get I had it down to 3 that i liked 2000 MM, 04 white or the 06 Black Cherry. I seen a Black Chery the other day (sunday5/18/08) on the interstate in Missouri it was heading north on I55 and i was going south dang near broke my neck trying to get a better look at it and thats when i made up my mind thats what i wanted. I go and pick her up some time next week in Kansas City so i you see a black chery heading east on 70 or south on 55 and you cant see the drivers face because of the smile then that will be me so just honk and wave. Hopefully i will see some of you nice people down the road one day and we can stop for some DQ ICE CREAM. lol lol:rotf:
  17. Currently I am in Pittsburgh until tomorrow evening.. I will be heading out to Fitzgerald Ga. to pick up what I believe to be a 1996 VR that I purchased from Police Dept there. I have spoken a number of times to the Chief of Police there and have been assured that the bike has actually only 4835 miles on it and has been stored indoors for its entire life. The bike was used only for funerals and parades.... neither of which Fitzgerald had a lot of. I will be stopping off in Knoxville Tn Saturday (mom is there) and then heading back out Sunday, then I will be stopping below Macon to pick up a mc trailer that a friend there is selling me and off to Fitzgerald to pick up bike Monday a.m.. The plan is from there to head back to Knoxville (I have two weeks off) then make any repairs, service, oil changes, and general services that the bike may need from lack of use. The tires will probably need changed so the first thing I would need is any info on any good bike shops in knoxville. When I was living in Knoxville 10 years ago there was not such a thing everything we needed done we went to TOMMY THOMPSONS up in Oneida. SO any suggestions of who is good and who is trustworthy would be great. I will be heading back to Cincinnati to begin a work project that will have me all over the state of Ohio and Pittsburgh that will last until Oct. So while in Ohio I would also like trust worthy locations or great new friends that can help work on the bike or work on it in general. They tell me the carbs have an issue I am pretty sure it is from old gas and hoping that seafoam will take care of that part, but sure would be nice to have someone to turn to like the service day they are having in Texas. While in Ohio/Pa I should have a 3 day weekend every week. I will finish up 2-3am on Friday Morn then not go back until 7 pm Monday, so I will have some time to piddle and do a lot of things or travel to where I can get things done.. Thanks in advance for all your great help Don..
  18. Item number: 270226706429 This could be a deal; for someone. It don't look bad. I would watch it but am heading south in about a hour This looks interesting.
  19. My work day tomorrow looks pretty thin - and there are no World Junior Hockey games to watch - so I'm thinking of heading to Windsor and seeing Gary N. Anyone from SW Ontario (or anywhere else for that matter) interested in riding along? Cheers,
  20. A couple of friends and I are camping out at Garner State Park on Friday and Saturday night then heading back here on Sunday morning... We'll take in parts of the hill country on the way down and other parts on the way home. Saturday, the 17th will be a full day of riding as much as we can. :smile5: Anyone interested??? We'll be staying in the Live Oak Camping Area... I hope to be down there by 4:00 or so Friday.. :rolleyes:
  21. Hi All, By the time I got rolling this morning and got Sea Foam and boots the best I could do was south of Durham. Logged in 402 miles with side trips and everything. Heading for Atlanta and supper with 86er tomorrow. Bike is running good. Locked the cruise to its max and leaned back. Kinda cold and windy but fun. The Corbin seat took a bit to get used to but it is pretty good. Love the backrest!! Put 2 tanks of primium and the Sea Foam through. Idle is still a bit erratic but the off-idle twitch is gone. I saw a 1st Gen heading south earlier. It was loaded in the back of a truck with a boat in tow. Other than that, I only saw 2 Gold Wings. Here are a couple picks. JB
  22. Well, we launched the shuttle again this morning and are currently camped in Berlin OH. I guess we'll explore Amish country for a couple of days before heading further south. We're hoping to get to the Roanoke Valley and see some fall colours and do some riding in the mountains.
  23. Tomorrow morning, Ron and I are heading for Evansville, Indiana. It will be a bit nippy in the morning, but it is supposed to warm up in the 70's. We may get to meet a certain VR member if things work out ok. I will fill you in when we return Monday evening. Peggy
  24. Made it back from Florida and Disney. It was pretty Hot, but my son had a great time. My best part of Vacation was getting home Little cool here, and a big switch from Florida.
