Title: Gymkhana April 21st
Post by: The Bike Shop on March 23, 2018, 07:18:39 AM
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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

2. Great course lay-out! (Thanks Buzz!)
3. Easy laid back location! (Thanks LawnmowerRG!)
4. Good crowd with lot of fantastic folks! (Thanks to ALL that showed up and rode!)

All in all, as close to a perfect day as anyone would want!  ;)

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.

 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
