mini-muffin Posted September 26, 2010 #26 Posted September 26, 2010 Ok I'll put it on my calendar, June 4th MD. Margaret
Nighthawk II Posted September 26, 2010 #27 Posted September 26, 2010 As a relatively new Venture rider.... what happens at the maintenance days? LOL - and don't say "maintenance"... They have been known to go 'Pond Monster' hunting....water bucket dodging....telling tall tales....and they might do a little maintence on some bikes. Then if there's any time left some go for a ride. It's an all around premier weekend at Freebird's Palace. I hope I can make it.
67mini67 Posted September 27, 2010 #28 Posted September 27, 2010 I think Memorial weekend would be better for those who live farther away. Ride in on Friday, stay and play Saturday and Sunday, ride home Monday. Not long enough for us westerners. Would like to attend but the distance is an issue. Should have a MD out west. Thanks and my turn to shut up!!!!
Yama Mama Posted September 27, 2010 #29 Posted September 27, 2010 June 4 will be great for us, my last day of work is June 2, so we can take our time going home. I cannot wait. I look forward to it all year long. Yama Mama:smile5:
BEER30 Posted September 27, 2010 #30 Posted September 27, 2010 June 4th is OKie-Dokie for me as well and it's also my birthday! I might just wear my B-day suit that day......................:banana::8::8: BEER30
E-Fishin-C Posted September 27, 2010 #31 Posted September 27, 2010 June 4th is OKie-Dokie for me as well and it's also my birthday!

Dave77459 Posted September 27, 2010 #33 Posted September 27, 2010 OK folks...though it was my preference, I'm taking Memorial weekend off the table. Marcarl has held his event almost as long as I've held mine and I don't want to interfere with that. Plus, I've learned that there are a number of high school and college graduations that weekend. I'm now really leaning towards June 4th. Those of us traveling long distances and who have little vacation time would have appreciated the "free day". Could you please remove the reference to Memorial Day from the initial post, so we don't get our hopes up? Or maybe strike it out so it remains, but is clearly not available? It seems possible that with the free day, if I have vacation time then the 4th would be best. Get up that way Memorial Day weekend, putter around my folks in MI that week, and hit Maintenance Day on the way home. Could maybe breakfast with y'all on the 4th before having to pull out. Dave
Trader Posted September 27, 2010 #34 Posted September 27, 2010 June 4th is OKie-Dokie for me as well and it's also my birthday! I might just wear my B-day suit that day......................:banana::8::8: BEER30 you know the rules....PICTURES!!!! Then again...maybe not!! Whatever the date....I WANT TO BE THERE and will if at all possible.
RoadKill Posted September 27, 2010 #35 Posted September 27, 2010 I've had a few emails asking for the dates of my 2011 Maintenance Day in Oberlin, OH. So, I'm going to throw out a couple of dates for your discussion. May 28th is one choice. That is Memorial Day weekend. The good news is that it would give many people an extra day to get back home. There may be some who do other things on Memorial Day weekend though. Your thoughts? The next choices would be either the previous weekend, May 21st or the following weekend, June 4th. My first preference would be Memorial Day weekend as it gives me an extra day to get things somewhat organized again before going back to work. This is open for discussion for a couple of days and then I'll pull the trigger and set the date. If the 28th works for you that is when you should have it! You are kind enough to put your life on hold every year for us to invade your home. If folks can't understand that tough. No way you are going to please everyone with any date you pick, so please yourself! Hope you save a spot for a Mustang convertible. Jay
Condor Posted September 27, 2010 #36 Posted September 27, 2010 Any weekend will work for me. Sadly at 2400 miles one-way I'm going to have to pass for another year.....

slick97spirit Posted September 27, 2010 #38 Posted September 27, 2010 I've only been able to make it to one maintenance day and planned on going in '11, but memorial day weekend is already booked for a family reunion. I prefer the maintenance day, but if I miss this reunion I'll be excommunicated. So, hoping for an alternative date for maintenance day.............
Jrichard Posted September 27, 2010 #39 Posted September 27, 2010 June 4th is OKie-Dokie for me as well and it's also my birthday! I might just wear my B-day suit that day......................:banana::8::8: BEER30Man---that would b a sight for the blind!!!!!-------tooooo much to behold????:usa:
Lone Eagle Posted September 27, 2010 #40 Posted September 27, 2010 Any weekend will work for me. Sadly at 2400 miles one-way I'm going to have to pass for another year..... Yo, Condor, if you trailered couple of your bikes back to Don's - you might have one to ride in Cody - LOL!!!
Flyinfool Posted September 27, 2010 #41 Posted September 27, 2010 I really do not know if my finances will allow me to make, it but if I can the 4th would be best for me. Bottom line is to do what will work best for you. Thanks for doing this for everyone.
Freebird Posted September 27, 2010 Author #42 Posted September 27, 2010 OK folks...without further ado, the official date is June 4th. Hope to see as many of you here as possible.
Flyinfool Posted September 27, 2010 #43 Posted September 27, 2010 Cool Now I can start planning / finagling / conniving to try to make it happen. In my 30 years with a bike it will/would be my longest trip.
Aussie Annie Posted September 28, 2010 #44 Posted September 28, 2010 OK folks...without further ado, the official date is June 4th. Hope to see as many of you here as possible. :dancefool: see ya then folks:thumbsup: Aussie Annie & Quickstep
Hummingbird Posted September 28, 2010 #45 Posted September 28, 2010 June 4th is OKie-Dokie for me as well and it's also my birthday! I might just wear my B-day suit that day......................:banana::8::8: BEER30 I wear my b-day suit every day but every time I show it to folks on the street corner I end up in jail
Dano Posted September 28, 2010 #46 Posted September 28, 2010 Cool In my 30 years with a bike it will/would be my longest trip. Wow, good thing you don't live around me! Just did 575 miles last Sunday, 200 on Saturday as a tune-up!
Flyinfool Posted September 28, 2010 #47 Posted September 28, 2010 Wow, good thing you don't live around me! Just did 575 miles last Sunday, 200 on Saturday as a tune-up! Yup, I'll never make Iron Butt, More like marshmallow butt.
BuckShot Posted September 28, 2010 #48 Posted September 28, 2010 Yup, I'll never make Iron Butt, More like marshmallow butt. It looks like around a 400 mile ride for you---If your not use to it, I suggest you start riding next spring ASAP, maybe a gel pad from walmart also. Or a pillow to sit on when you arrive:duck: Hope to see you there.
BuckShot Posted September 28, 2010 #49 Posted September 28, 2010 Wow, good thing you don't live around me! Just did 575 miles last Sunday, 200 on Saturday as a tune-up! Yea--and to think I cancelled because of rain that never came thu. Must have been a higher force saying not to go for some reason.
