Ok thanks to everyone that came to the last event. I hope you had a great time, And you made a good enough impression that they are letting us fast track future approvals with just a parade permit.
We are throwing another one on April 14Th.
Starting at 9;00 am
ending 3:00 PM
location
The Bike Shop
8001 Parkway Dr.
Leeds, Al. 35004
We are providing lunch.
And we may have a little surprise up our sleeve for some of the participants.
Now with my wonderful computer skills can someone please help me with a snazzy flier. Also can anyone and everyone help pass these out.
I'll be there. I have no artistic skills to design a flyer but I can help pass them out and spread the word.
Is anyone interested in going to the CG bike night and riding some circles on the 10th.
I think it is a great opportunity to hit up some people right before the event. I will call Larry to get it set up. As well as get the stuff there. If I can get 2 other people commitmented.
Marked my calendar. ;)
Going to have to miss this. I am going for my MSF RiderCoach cert that week and weekend

Currently planning to attend a GPS led Hard Enduro at Hollytree that weekend! (I know I am crazy)
I might be able to show up to bike night and pass out stickers and invites!

I plan to bring the GS. You are welcome to take a spin on it. Just remember I will need your keys so I can get home. ;D
I just picked up 300 fliers if anybody wants to help hand some out.
REALLY wish I could join in this event (heaven knows, I need to re-tune my skills after very little riding over the winter! ???), but the Vintage Motorcycle Club is doing a garage crawl to the shop of one of our members that Saturday, so I'll be engaged in that.
I'll do what I can to spread word of your event through our NAVMC distribution list, as well as through our Activities Calendar.
One day, the stars will align, and I'll be able to take part in one of these events--enough can't be said about their value! Thanks for opening up this opportunity, Lawnmower!!!

Can you scan one of the fliers and post it here?
I'm in! I'll pass the word on to our Triumph club.

Thanks Mark for all you do.
Thanks for dropping off the Banners.
Lawnmower, I have it posted on our NAVMC April activities calendar as well, and will paste the poster into our Vintage Riders Digest. Hope to help gather a big turnout for you!
Thank you much.
already had a ride planned for this weekend, but if the rain makes that one impossible I'm coming to this instead!
do you have a reschedule date in the event of rain ?
Yes we do.
We already have permission for the 21st.
So if it rains Join is the following weekend for cone killing fun.
With the rain chances climbing for Saturday we are planning to reschedule for Saturday the 21st at this point. If you want to come this weekend we can set up something weather permitting but will not be prepared for a full on Gymkhana.
Come to Gymkhana and lean yo' bike...

FUN TIMES!
To give those who do not know an idea of what this is all about!

Kyle, we may end up with 2 Gymkhana's. There are a bunch of fliers with the 14th out there. Especially sense from yesterday morning to this one. They moved the rain staring from 11am to about 4pm.
Hell another app has moved it to 6am.

I am on call this weekend. If I don't get called in by late morning, I'll slip over that way.
I plan on taking all back roads from McCalla with Mighty Aziz.
If anyone wants to join in we will be fueling up at Dunkin Doughnuts @ exit 1 around 7:00AM.
Post up or PM me and we will look for you.
If y'all want to head south a little, Kyle and I are meeting on 119 at 8am riding the gonzo route! I posted in the Street Rides forum!
We will be running the same roads just at a slower pace. We may get passes by you guys at some point. LOL

Is that what time y'all are planning to eat or leave? I can be there just before y'all will be heading out, just not interested in eating.

Great time. It was good to see everyone, been awhile.
Thanks to Rodney and the Bike Shop for hosting, and big thanks to those that set up the tents, course and otherwise made it all happen.
Wish i could have spent more time with y'all, hopefully see some of you next weekend.

Thank you to everyone that came out.
I had a great time myself.
And Kyle I forgot to take your jacket out of the truck so it's riding around with me at the moment. I can drop it at your house next week when working your area.
A video of the Gymkhana meet. Sorry about the boring audio but Youtube is...well, sucky when it comes to that.

Another video of the Gymkhana event. In this one you get to see what happens to my bike ANYTIME it gets on the dirt. ;)
Pretty sure it is the riders fault. :D
