Hey everyone I’m getting this thing kicked off. Sorry for the delay in posting this, and huge thanks to Miguel for creating a thread for this years ride. The basics are covered above in that post. Here you’ll find the link to the Eventbrite page where you can register and pay the fee as well as choose to add extra dinner tickets and T-shirt’s for significant others, friends, and family. Dad and I are super excited to see everyone in May and we hope for beautiful weather and a week full of rubber down riding. Hurry and register as the cut off is April 1st! If there are any questions or concerns please reach out to me directly. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2019-vfrd-memorial-spring-ride-tickets-55192317708 -PRB

You know I've done probably close to 100, maybe even 125 craigslist deals. Never once felt threatened or that I needed to be armed. Not sure why there seems to be a string of paranoid members of the motorcycle community especially. I see all over various forums and facebook pages about folks wanting to or actually carrying firearms on the bike or in their gear. Not sure where folks are riding that they have so much to fear. I think with a good sense of judgement and some common sense you can safely navigate "Joe Schmoe's" or any other encounter or time in the presence of/with strangers. Just my .02$. YMMV. -PRB
