Yes have my tickets and just deciding if we are going to go up Friday, and spend Sat looking about and head home, or drive up early Sat look about and then spend the night and drive home Sunday.  From my driveway to the International Center is just over 5 hours in good weather. Last time it was freezing rain on the drive down and took 7 hours, makes for a really long tiring day. I'll be there on Sat for sure as it stands now. I'll pm you later with a number you will be able to reach me at. and perhaps in the five halls we can met up.

We are trying to figure out the same. I figure with a half hour at the boarder, it will take us about 3 hours from Rochester. So, it is possible to do just the day I think. Meeting up would be neat!

There's a Vulcan Riders Group in my area.  The FB site gets maybe 2 posts month . . . . from the same guy.

Sadly this forum is a bee hive compared to 2 other bike forums I am on. I know a bunch of people here are suffering from PMS about this point in time:
PARKED MOTORCYCLE SYNDROME,
I am not yet I have a few small projects left to complete.
PC are you going to be in attendance at Troll's event in WI this summer?

I think about all of us have had a story like that.

Okay, it HAS been very quiet here.  Well, here's a story for you. .  . . .

I had just come out of Tractor Supply the other day, and had just put my purchases in my saddle bags and trunk, when I heard the sound of screeching tires.  I look over and there is a pickup truck in front of the store that threw it into reverse and was peeling out.  His tires finally got some grip and the truck started to reverse.  Then after going back about 50 feet at full speed, the guy puts it in drive, does a burn out and points his truck right toward me.  I had no idea what I did to piss this guy off, but it looked like he was determined to run me and my bike over as he came at me at full speed.  At the last second he turns the wheels, and slams on the brakes, screeching to a stop.  I figured What's going to happen next?".  The guy then looks at me and says "I saw your Indian and I just had to come over.  I used to own four Indians".  Whew!  That was a relief that I was not about to be murdered.

So our conversation started the usual course we all have as our bikes are mistaken for Indians.  I explained to him it was a Drifter.  He asked me if it also had a Jap engine too.  Oh well.  I said, "Thankfully, it does!".  Anyway, we probably talked bikes for about 20 minutes.  He used to have a collection of Indians, Harleys, and Triumphs, but sold them when he stopped riding.  The guy said he was 85, but he didn't look a day over 70.

Then in the curt style of many seniors, he said he couldn't waste any more time talking, as he had many errands to run.  So we said our goodbyes and he drove off.  Then I put my riding gear on, which took a few minutes.  Just as I'm ready to start my bike, I noticed he turned around and had driven up along side of me again.  He said "I just want to hear your engine when you start it.".  So I started it and he a had a big grin on his face.  I revved it a few times for good measure, to which he responded "Yup, sure sounds like a Harley too.".  Oh well.   ??? :o

Well, anyway, that was my excitement for the day!

Ratman, I don't know.  Probably not as the wife will probably not be able to make the ride and I can't leave her alone due to health issues.
