Welcome to our Merry Band.
Some ride FJR's, some have graduated to other machines,
All love to ride and dish out as much as they can take in return.
Those that can't take more than they dish out soon move on. JSNS

Try to keep up Wheatie, you did read every rule when signing up right?

Welcome VT03, you should go to EOM next month here viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4379

Not to far from you and then you can meet some of the folks around here. Good roads , great peeps.

I have had EOM on the calendar for a while. (im in another sandbox) I would love to make EOM, but I dont think Ill be able to. I am traveling a whole bunch for work right now. Ill be in DC that Friday, and I have another motorcycle event in Fontana the following week after the Duke football game.

Ill have to see what I can pull off. I can always pack the tent/hammock and find somewhere to sleep.

Welcome from a fellow '13 owner, Hokie graduate and Virginian! I'm right outside Richmond but try to visit your neck of the woods on my way to the Back of the Dragon at least once a year (did it just this past June). We should meet up next time!

I've had a "motorcycle problem" for over 40 years now. My real motorcycle problem is I lack the assets to own every bike that peaks my interest.
