PirateRiderBen Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Okay folks, I know everyone is still recovering from Tmac, but I want to go ahead and get this out there so folks have time to take off from work and such. Last year we had a great turnout of 7 riders. Sorry to say the weather was less than desirable. This year will be better! Also, if we get enough interest, I am planning to do a t-shirt this year. Same as last year, there will be no entry fees or any required payment other than room, food, gas, and the usual costs with trips. (and tshirts if you order one) Sorry, but I wont have kegs of beer and BBQ waiting in the parking lot, but I suspect we will manage haha! RIDERS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME! And of course ride whatever bike you want, the guy planning the ride (me) doesn't even ride a VFR anymore! The details that I have planned so far: HOTEL: October 9-13,2015 That is a Friday through a Tuesday, so 4 nights. Come for less, stay for more, but those are the "official dates" (aka when I will be there) The "luxury accommodations" for the week are at Greene's Motel in Boone, NC. It's nothing fancy and it's an old place, however it is clean and it is the most affordable option in Boone and the surrounding area. It is also right on the main road close to gas, food, and stores. Greene's is HOLDING 15 ROOMS all with double beds for the above dates UNTIL the LAST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER. When you call in, let them know you are with the VFRD Motorcycle group. The rate is 59$ a night plus tax, which is a deal in this part of the world during this time of the year. I encourage everyone to go ahead and reserve the room as soon as you know you can make it. Their number is 828-264-8845 TSHIRTS: Vote in the poll ASAP. If there is enough interest I will post additional info later on as far as ordering. Ride routes: I have a couple routes since I live in the area, but feel free to make something up and bring it along! If we have more folks this year, we will have multiple ride groups. That is all I have for now, I will add more as I think of things. Hope to see everyone there! -PRB
Member Contributer MissBusa Posted June 2, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 2, 2015 I'm in. And I'll have my better half in tow, he's got the bags on his bike. :)
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted June 2, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 2, 2015 Given that I missed the recent action, I'm compelled to try and make this. It'd be a little extension of summer. Besides I'm eager to sign your helmet. :) I just hope I've used up all my negative karma. It will be good to be back in the best riding environment before next year. I do not take getting to NC for granted any more, so all I'll say is I'll try to make it. MaxSwell No Deer
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted June 2, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 2, 2015 I am not missing this one , count me in !
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted June 2, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 2, 2015 I am not missing this one , count me in ! I was surprised to realize you were not going to Tmac. So now I feel a little less bad for missing it. After all, what would Tmac be without the Switch?! Looking forward to it. Ride safe pal.

PirateRiderBen Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Just a reminder that all the rooms are two double beds, so theres plenty of room for sharing. Do post up here once you make a reservation so I can keep track of how many rooms we are using up. If we end up needing more than 15, I can talk with the manager. -PRB Edit: Rooms being held for us only until the last week of September, but I encourage everyone to jump on it as soon as they can.
Sweeper Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I made it last year, how could I miss this year? Attendance is already up.
TNRabbit Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Interested but have to see what work looks like then...
Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted June 3, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 3, 2015 But the question is will there be PBRs at PRBs ride? Rollin
PirateRiderBen Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I mean if that is what floats ya'lls boats I'm sure the gas station next door has some! I think we drank mostly Yeungling last year.

Hondavfr1200dct Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Now that I have moved back to the states, and have replaced my AU VFR with a new US VFR it's time to plan a ride with other enthusiasts! Looking forward to any updates and/or other events that are posted. See you soon.
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted June 13, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 13, 2015 I am not missing this one , count me in ! Sorry boys that's the same week as Barber Vintage Race so me no go .
Member Contributer TheJay Posted June 13, 2015 Member Contributer Posted June 13, 2015 The lady and myself stayed at Greenes Motel in Boone this week and give it a ?. As Ben stated, it's not real fancy, but it's clean and inexpensive. The lady that helped us was kind and the young girl that worked there didn't say a thing when she saw me roll the hawk out of the room in the morning. (It rained in the evening and the Corbin soaks up water like a sponge). Not that I condone such behavior.
Baileyrock Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 i my join in two up this year, will see how things pan out. BR
Trace Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Hmmmmmmmmmm................I did a big Boone trip last September with my Florida guys. Nice. HEAVY fog on the BRP in the morning? You can bet on it! Lotsa outstanding roads there. Boone is a good town. Lotsa places to eat good food. And I know where the liquor store is. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........have to think about this. It might supersede the Trace Pace Fall Ride I was thinkin' about organizing, but that's okay. And as for a tee shirt? Nah. Not interested.

Hopefully, if all things line up, and you attend, you can visit your old VFR. I'm hoping no one buys it until I get back from W.Va next week.
PirateRiderBen Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 I am going to start working on tshirts this month, order info should be up by the first week of August -PRB
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted July 13, 2015 Member Contributer Posted July 13, 2015 I'm ordering a tee shirt. Medium please. I drown in those XLs. (Although they may come in handy if a gal wanted to fit in there with me; but that never happens. :sad2: )
gloryracing Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Damnit man...wish I was closer! Good recent memories from tmac and seeing members sign up sure makes me want to zip around those parts again.
