Member Contributer VcFR Posted July 21, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2015 That's what I would have thought. Oh well, it'll be twice the fun for everyone. Those who said Yes but didn't will wish they had. I called and cancelled Franzia wine as a sponsor. Too bad as they were going to send 3 boxes of Sangria. Darn! I like my sangria! May just have to make some. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer didit Posted July 21, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2015 Did they state what their tire mount & install fee is? Not that I can recall from multiple chats with them. Best I could suggest is call & ask. I'll send an email and see what I can find out to update the thread.

Member Contributer ronimalvfr Posted July 24, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 24, 2015 Well guys I hate to say this but I'm not going to make it this year. My brother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his prognosis is a couple of months. I don't want to be in Colorado if something happens. I got a king mini suite booked at the Red Arrow, so if anybody needs a room, pm me and I'll see if we can transfer reservation before I cancel it.

Member Contributer motormike Posted July 24, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 24, 2015 I called Highland Cycles today for a quote on Michelin PR2 tires and informed them the VFR is a SSSA and the rear wheel is easy to remove. The owner said they would lower the rear install $10 from $50 to $40. I assume that only applies to VFRs. I may be ordering tires because I'm at 6300 miles now on PR2 tires.

Member Contributer didit Posted July 25, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm sure with everyone there, if "one" were to remove the wheels for install that it would make it easier for everyone. The facilities at the hotel are very good and there will be cages available for transport. The guys at Highland have been so helpful in prep, that I wouldn't be surprised if they offered a pick up / drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer ki-speed Posted July 28, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 28, 2015 VFRD crew, I really wanted to make SUM SUM 3 to see again all the great people that are a part of it. But I'm going to have to cancel. My dads health is not good. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor 2 years ago he’s has been doing pretty good until this last February. But now in the last couple weeks he’s going downhill and I’m guessing he might make it until the end of the year. With the limited vacation time I have I need to get back Illinois to see him and help my mom as much as I can. This cancer thing sucks! You all have a safe and fun ride.

Hopefully I can catch up at the next PNW meet! Cheers, Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Ticket Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Spencer ... you just put a big smile on my face. :^) And FWIW, it's: "what did you learn today, a lowlight, and a highlight (can be more than one)." 'Cause you always want the quizee to finish with a great memory and a smile.Sounds good, boss -- we'll catch you at the next ride somewhere.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 31, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 31, 2015 For anyone planning on heading to the Gateway Auto Museum http://www.gatewayautomuseum.com/ https://goo.gl/maps/iOT0N there is an episode of "Car Crazy" on Velocity Channel profiling it. Interviewed is John Hendricks, museum founder and also founder of Discovery Channel and Velocity. I have not searched for that episode on line but just saw it on Velocity. The episode name is "The Most Curious Car Guy". It's a fabulous museum with lots of other things to see - well worth the time. Also, there is an episode of "Dangerous Drives" - Million Dollar Highway on Hulu profiling US 550 for those headed for Durango. http://www.hulu.com/watch/118386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer didit Posted July 31, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'll be doing the 141 on the Wed, with a planned stop at the Gateway. If we get more than 10, entry is only $8 with advance notice, plus they'll save us a designated parking area for all the bikes. I've ridden past this place twice so I figured now is the time to smell the roses. We'll be sure to be back to the hotel by at least 3 or so. A quick refresh in the pool and then one of the many new surprises happens. Too bad Bailey's not coming. What will he do for the next TMac if he's not learning from SumSum!
