Updates will be posted if and when things change. Refunds are being sent out to those who registered. But wait! I almost forgot....FREE BEER! 2 Quote
Sweeper Posted January 7, 2020 Author Posted January 7, 2020 I just posted this because Bob is not actually on VFRD. He has posted this on FB as many of you will have seen. The rest of you...well I'll do what I can to help. If you don't have PayPal, I'll let me know and I'll see how Bob wants to handle it. 1 Quote
Member Contributer FromMaine Posted January 14, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 14, 2020 This is a long way out, and I have a conflict that weekend, but the conflict is motorcycle related about 2 hours away in NC (First Gen V4 group). So, if I'm not shipping out during this time I'll try to swing by for at least a beer, probably Thursday the 14th. That makes it a definite maybe :). 2 Quote

Member Contributer FromMaine Posted January 15, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 15, 2020 Hmmm, if memory serves me right, at last years Fall ride you had excellent taste in beer. Its on the calendar, lets see how long it takes my wife to notice. 🙂 1 Quote

PreRide route planning is in high gear. - prelim route is extensive. Feel like doing 5 days this year? With designated photo and bbq stops (Ridgewood stop, of course). 2 Quote
Member Contributer TheJay Posted January 18, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 18, 2020 Booked the room today. Will sign up soon. Sooooo ready to ride. 2 Quote
Sweeper Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 FIVE DAYS! Lets do it. No such thing as too much as far as I'm concerned. I sat out Saturday last year due to the weather and didn't regret it one bit after a week of riding. Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted January 18, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 18, 2020 Yeah, Fly into Charlotte NC, ride to Little Switserland, onto to Franklin, Georgia, Alabama, visit Skuuter in TN, do the Tail of the Dragon a couple of times, get to Franklin, meet the TMAC contingent, do TMAC, ride to Charlotte, fly home............

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted January 20, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 20, 2020 I'd love to make it to this event. Historically this is just about the best event on the VFRD calendar. However, now that I've got a dog to care for, I'll need to recruit a dog sitter. She is quite the handful so that is not assured. Ergo, I'm a strong maybe. 1 Quote

Just have to reassemble the bike . Good point, I need to check my valves again. Last checked 16K ago, Everything in spec, but trending towards adjustment. Bikes got 83K now, so it may be time. Owned a second, third and 4th Gen and never have to remove the cams, a testament to Hondas engineering more than my maintenance skills I think. If I do have to go in, it will be my first time doing a Bucket and Shim bike as all my first Gens are screw and tappet. Read up on it about 18 months ago before I checked my clearances, guess its time for a review. Quote
Member Contributer MisterBill Posted January 25, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 25, 2020 I'm in. Sent money to Bob and made reservation at Microtel. MisterBill 1 Quote

Get the dog sitter and stay home with her. Might be more fun...... The ride is on a bad weekend for me, again. 1 Quote

Member Contributer FromMaine Posted February 3, 2020 Member Contributer Posted February 3, 2020 OK, I've booked a room for Thursday the 14th, as noted I have another Motorcycle related event that weekend about 160 miles away. I'm really only doing this to make Sweeper forever regret offering me free beer :+). My door to the hotel is 1161miles, I don't own a truck or trailer, so It will be a long day on Wen, then a short hop Thursday, hopefully there early afternoon. Of course 12 hours after booking I get a message can I join a ship in Italy. I cannot tell you how many MC trips I've had to cancel because of work. Turns out though the timing is fine and should not be an issue, which is good as riding my bikes doesn't pay particularly well. Look forward to meeting a few new faces and of course the great group from last Fall. 2 Quote

I don't think I'd want to look at it again for a while after a ride like that! Quote
