Carbon_One Posted June 5, 2011 Share #6 Posted June 5, 2011 Arrived safe and sound about 1:30 as well. What a great weekend meeting new and old friends. Don's MD just keeps getting better and bigger every year. At the Friday evening Steak & Lube dinner there was nothing but a sea of Yamaha's in the parking lot. For once they out numbered Harley's and Honda's there. Staurday at Don's was a repeat thou I do have to admit it seems more of our ranks are flipping to Wings and H-D's. Can't blame them none since Mother Yamaha doesn't seem interested in improving the RSV's & RSTD's. Anyhow I would also like to thank Don & Ellien for opening their home to all of us. With this event growing each year it has to be a lot of work just prepping for it. THANKS for your willingness to do this for our club. Even thou there were some folks who didn't show by looking at the number of name tags left over we surely must of have exceeded last years head count.

adventurer Posted June 5, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 5, 2011 ditto on the thanks to Don and Eileen, also thanks to carbon 1 for the donation of the horn bracket and wiring, now I can tell my wife I'm forced to buy a air horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibents Posted June 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 5, 2011 I join with everyone else in thanking to Don & Eillen for their hospitality, I think we all had a great time.

FuzzyRSTD Posted June 5, 2011 Share #9 Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Made it back home Sunday at 4.00 pm, no rain at all. Had a wonderful time. Met some friends that I felt as if I knew but had never saw them in person. Learned a few more things about my ride a long the way. Thanks Don and Eleen for everything. Like someone has already mentioned, it was wonderful of you all to open your home and garage that way for the club. The dinner was great and just what everyone could eat and be satisfied. I also noticed that most everyone was respectable about it and tried to show their thanks and help to take care of your home,tools, lawn furniture,trash and all. I know you probably had a lot of cleaning still. Thanks again,and hope you will have me back next year. Maybe I can get my wife to come up with me next time.

Leadwolf56 Posted June 5, 2011 Share #12 Posted June 5, 2011 Got home about 4:00pm as well. Had a small problem with eusa1's bike blowing a fuse and made a DQ stop on the way home. As everyone else said, we had a great time, seen a lot of friends we hadn't seen in a while and made some new ones. Thanks to Don and Eileen for opening their home to this event. This was our 5th year at MD and it has only gotten bigger every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sling Posted June 5, 2011 Share #13 Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Before anything, thanks to Freebird for EVERYTHING. This was the first time we attended and we had a fantastic time!! I thoroughly enjoyed helping out with the maintenance projects. Best of all was meeting all our new friends and seeing some old ones. Well, as with all plans, ours changed. After heading out at 6 am this morning, we decided to push for home and not stop anywhere on the way for the night. 11 1/2 hours of interstate later, 532 miles, we are now home. Peggy ordered pizza soon after we arrived and I do believe I just heard the doorbell ring!! Have lots of pictures. Will try to get the link up later or tomorrow. So....until we meet again...

Gary N. Posted June 6, 2011 Share #18 Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks you so much Don and Eileen for another great VR event. We also had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the weekend. It's so great to see all the friends we have made over the years and meet and make new friends, as we do every year. We were very fortunate to get to visit one on one with Annie and Alan for an extended amount of time on Thursday night and I'm proud to say that we now have some very good friends who happen to live in Australia. Hope we can get to go visit them there someday. We made it to a KOA campground in the Finger Lakes area of New York about 4:00 this afternoon. Lake George tomorrow and the rest of the week for Americade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jointventure Posted June 6, 2011 Share #19 Posted June 6, 2011 This being our first MD and the first time meeting the members, we were blown away by the hospitality. Don and Eileen, it takes special people to open up their home and hearts to someone they know only by a login name and make them feel like family, for that we thank you. In the few hours that I spent observing the repairs and upgrades being performed, I learned more than one could ever gleen from the manual. Kudos to you all and we are proud to be part of this family. Ric (jointventure) and Brenda (Pinkie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Swifty Posted June 6, 2011 Share #22 Posted June 6, 2011 ...where else can you ALL IN ONE DAY: view the latest in coffee cup technology while downing breakfast beside some Aussies, hunt for pond monsters, watch people beat on motorbikes with hammers, hold a 357 for the first time, find even more suckers to let you ride their new bikes, get 10 different opinions on the performance of your bike, rescue a painted Chihauhau from a choking collar, follow a birthday cake on a gorgeous first gen doing a 100mph, watch the Vancouver Canucks win another on the road to the Stanley Cup, drink some black death, and try to get through your nightmares about it all while sleeping beside the noise of a big black reefer!?!?!? Thanks for another great day of memories, Don...et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 6, 2011 Share #23 Posted June 6, 2011 We also want to thank Don and Eileen for once again putting on a great event. We had a great time. We got to see alot of our friends, and made several new ones. I also want to thank Goose, Walter, Nakedrider, Hummingbird and anyone else that helped me to get my bike done. If I forgot anyone, it's because I was too hot and delirious...lol. Looking forward to next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
