Sounds like a max swap meet. I have a couple things from the Vmoa store that will be selling for them. A programable T-boost box also for Rhoy.
I think Billy J has a new set of knee braces he is wanting to sell also.

Also Sean Got that tire from kelly. will be bringing it with me.

What time you coming in tomorrow John? Just wanting to make some dinner plans. Also, a couple of the local guys are going to ride down so you can either trailer with us or ride with them if you want. They are the 2 guys that showed up in Topeka after riding from Wichita in the rain.

It was great meeting you as well, Clay.

Glad you made it home safely. I was wondering if anyone killed any Japenese beetles on the way north Sunday? lol. (holy cow, they're thick in parts of Newton and Barry counties this year)

Likewise Jim! And yes, we took out several beetles running 71 north. But I'm pretty sure Morley's trailer had to splat hundreds of them little bastards :biglaugh:

Good to see old faces again and meeting the new ones. Hope all had a great time and was able to lose the chicken strips on the tires.
Sorry about the sat night dinner plans. I will be hitting the VMOA hard about resuming paying for the dinner so we can all try to stay together and wind down.
Gigi, Doug and myself went on a 125 mile ride into MO. sunday. Also great roads but hit those beetles a few times. man those things are like missiles. you could see them some times coming at you even at 70mph and when they hit jacketless skin, BANG. Felt like i had been in a paintball war without a jacket.

Thinking that next year, if we have this big of a turnout we will discuss having 2 differant groups, faster and slower and maybe have then take opposite routes and meet at the lunch spot. That will speed up fuel stops etc.
will discuss later.
I will post up links to pics in the next couple days.
later all and again if you made the meet you now know. If not you missed out.

I'm curious what MO route did you guys take? Quite a few to choose from up there. Hwy 86 is always fun.

23 North out of Eureka to 86, then left towards Cassville will put you near Roaring River State Park. The trout hatchery there is a good destination.

Right on 86 towards Branson will take you past a place called Dogwood Canyon. It, too, is a really neat place to visit. Guided tours on this site. Beautiful springs and waterfalls on the tour.

I think I can see more vacation time off for this event next year so Shala and I can also put in some Sunday miles...............

Michael, it was very nice seeing you, and Gigi, again this year. Looking forward to next year as well.

[headknocker]

P.S. we made it home Ok as you can see

 

[Hatter]

I had a great time up there kneesliding with the fast group, even with my bad tire.

The good news is that Krystal said I will be getting new tires for my birthday (in June ) whether I need them or not. LOL

 

[eatatjoz]

It looked like you were better off using the sides of that tire than the middle anyway.

 

[headknocker]

Glad to hear you made it ok with that watermellon Rine hatter
