Member Contributer didit Posted December 30, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 30, 2015 All signed up ! See you guys there, unless I can hook up with some riders that may be coming up through eastern Washington / north idaho.. Is it time yet? jimbob, CVVFR & I will be coming up, via 97 & St Maries through your hood on the Thurs before. Stopping overnight at my lake cabin in WA. Then, a nice 250+ mile run up on the Friday to Nelson. I'll be posting routes later in the new year, but we'd be glad to have you along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 No problem. I understand. I simply cannot commit at this time my employer is in the process of a sale, dont know whats going on. I want to go but if I get laid off its not gonna happen. Sounds good. There won't be a problem with the dorm rooms. We'll certainly set one aside for you. I am planning on coming. I'm waiting for my tax return to pay. I'll take any bed with a roof. Dorm is fine with me, so save one for me. Okay? I know! It's 15 below here today. Another week until the motorcycle show which is halfway to spring. :) All signed up !

Member Contributer 34468Randy Posted January 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18, 2016 My intended travel plans for this year are all screwed up....except this one. Still looking forward to it. All those wishing to attend, please help Funkie by getting registered and paid. Looking forward to meeting a lot of you, and renewing acquaintances with a couple.

voiceoffire Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Well here is some irony. After 5 years of pining about making it out to one of our events, everything finally manged to work out where I signed up for this one. Then an great deal came up on a concours and I traded the VFR in. Hope nobody minds me showing up on a different ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be expected to do many things though. Most bikes will require debugging at the end of the day, VFR's first of course, while we suck back on ice cold ambers.

Member Contributer Polarbear Posted January 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2016 All good. As long as you have good conversation and are willing to socialize with the rest onus, you are welcome. We may hold it against you, but we will still talk to you.

BlackHole Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Just figured out and signed up and paid. Looking forward to it. In fact despite the excellent snow thus far and the 18 days of skiing I have in I keep going out to the garage before bed and looking at the bikes... can't wait for riding season to return... And it's certainly about the people, not the bikes. I may just park the BlackHole in front of the Inn for symbolism, I will likely be riding the SDR.

superfunkomatic Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's great that you signed up. Thanks for paying, too. Realistically we need about 6-8 more people to pay for rooms before everything falls into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm 98% confident that by the time this meet happens I will no longer have my VFR either. The dawn of the Africa Twin. A few updates we have about 25 confirmed attendees thus far, which is awesome. All smaller rooms are booked except one. There is one shared room with VFR800Canuck (Rob) that is available. I can attest that he is not an axe murderer and all-round good guy for someone that wants just one roommate. The remaining rooms are the large dorms with 8 spots/beds. If we have further interest, if we could get 4 more people in each room I'd be happy to shut down room bookings and the event will break even. So with Maxwell taking one, HispanicSlammer (definitely coming, no excuses! ) we'd have 6 more spots. Although, if we have some of the other 'definitely confirmed' folks book we could fill the dorms and be one big happy VFR family. Still waiting for confirmation on the meal between a local proprietor caterer and the local college who has a culinary arts program to see who is the best fit for one of the big group meals. Also talking to a former student who may (fingers crossed) design the logo and artwork for the t-shirts. As said in previous posts, isn't it spring yet? I thought this was an El Niño year with less snow! Darn you mother nature! One last note, could the following folks PM me their emergency contact info for the meet: V-Fore SquamishVFR BCMCRider Polarbear Didit CVVFR Blackhole I hope to never use it, but it's good to have just in case of an emergency. Thanx, Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 34468Randy Posted January 23, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 23, 2016 I gave a heads up to an Auzzie who will be here for July - September. He was making mention of renting a bike and taking his son on a tour sometime. I sent him the link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Olive Posted January 30, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 30, 2016 @ Polar Bear - it's easy to choose. One of the twins has hard luggage installed, the other doesn't. I take whichever suits my needs for that particular day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite often a man's T-shirt can look like a burlap sack on a woman - it's all about the sizing and the cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
