Member Contributer Yokel Posted February 1, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hog Tie 5. It's time for Number 5, ya'll. The grand plans for a week-long festivus maximus are shellacked by my work schedule in September, and I've adjusted the dates so I can show up to my own party. We are coinciding with Bikes Blues and BBQ. So. Like years past, YOU will be responsible for your accommodations at the HUB hotel in Marble Falls, AR. Call Debbie at the Hub - 1800-597-9963 and tell her you're with VFRD. Rooms are discounted this year (they had a price increase), so we are at $60.00/night. Feel free to come early or stay late, we normally have a few people who make a full week out of it. I have a block of 10 rooms reserved until MAY. Campsites are $10.00 night and include use of a shower/toilet that isn't as bad as you might think. We will be doing a Saturday night cookout again, so plan on bringing some donation cash and a bottle of Fireball for Lisa. T-shirts will be available with the logo above (with the banner blank for your name or hog-tie nickname... whatever!) for a fee, I'll be taking orders on those soon. If there is enough demand, I might make hats and stuff too. It's a special limited edition by Grapes Designs, and I think this year's logo kicks ass. Shirts will be grease-proof black with white graphics. Remember, anyone on any bike is free to attend, but official organization is only happening right here on VFRD.com. Post your name when you're booked! Don't miss this year's ride! Best, Yoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted February 1, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 1, 2016 Blocked it off on my calendar... just for confirmation, we are looking at Friday through Monday, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 1, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hands down the best VFRD meet logo ever! Wish I had the time off to make it that far - I'd show up for this one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted February 1, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm planning on attending for the whole week if the deer don't get me. I'll probably be camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted February 2, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm pretty sure that I'm looking straight down at the HUB in Marble Falls in this pic. Hey, maybe I'll make it, only 8 months and less than 2000 miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateRiderBen Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I want to go. Not sure how the timing will work out. But, I'll hang around just in case. -PRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Yokel Posted June 26, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2016 Bad news. I lost my job in April. I'm having to sell the VFR. Just the facts of life. With that said, I will have to call off for the Hog Tie this year. Maybe after I get another bike over the winter, I'll be in for next year... but as of now, I'm out. Have fun everyone, and BE SAFE!

Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted June 29, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 29, 2016 Sorry guys, VcFR and I won't be able to make it due to the date change. That is what happens when you have to turn in your vacation dates at the start of the year. You guys have fun and we will catch you next time.

I'll give them a ping on the Facebooks. On the upside, I didn't sell the VFR folks! Game on for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What day are you planning on being at mountain home. Sent from my SGH-T999L using Tapatalk I'll be arriving on Saturday late afternoon. As per my usual M.O., I have no knowledge of schedule or routes at this point. I don't go by Sweeper for nuthin. I'll be sporting some of you handiwork on my bike. Its been working great. So great that I swapped it out to the new bike before the old one left. Huge improvement over the Ram unit that came on the new bike. I've battling issues with my new bike since TMAC when I picked it up. Thought I would be on the CB500x this week but got lucky today and found my fueling issue. I sent the bike off to have the starter valves synced and it came back nearly un-ride-able. After talking to SamW via email, I decided to lift the tank and have a look. Sure enough, they left one of the vacuum lines off. Still not as smooth as my 03, but I can ride it and work on it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Yokel Posted September 9, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 9, 2016 Glad a few of you are going to be able to get together. Still heartbroken I can't make it, but must pay attention to the new job for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad consolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gswanson Posted September 12, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2016 Anyone still planning on being at the Hub September 23-25? Looks like my schedule is going to allow me to make it that weekend. Bringing a co-worker along (at this point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
