Eck Posted March 31, 2014 #1 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I have a suggestion I would like to share in regards to all the VR family members and loved ones we have lost over the years. What would you think about a set annual "ride date" where each of us can get on our bikes take a VR International "in memory of ride" for all those we have lost. Every year on that same date, we get on our bikes and ride that day and then come back and post where we rode to such as towns and amount of miles we rode, even if it was only a 1 mile ride (due to weather). I suggest we make the annual date sometime in Aug or Sept where most everyone can ride. What do you think? Edited April 2, 2014 by Eck
Venturous Randy Posted March 31, 2014 #2 Posted March 31, 2014 I think it is a great idea Eck. RandyA
93 venture Posted March 31, 2014 #4 Posted March 31, 2014 Thats a great ideal. Like each state has one, with pictures?
BoomerCPO Posted March 31, 2014 #8 Posted March 31, 2014 Heck yes Eck. We simply set the date and each member just get out and ride. That's a lot easier than trying to co-ordinate 1 ride with a bunch of riders in each State meeting up for the ride. And of course the option is there for several members to do just that if they so desire. While all Members lost were valuable to all of us I would suggest that our ride date coincide with the date that we lost Gunboat. Boomer....with respect.
Solodadof2 Posted March 31, 2014 #12 Posted March 31, 2014 This a nice sentiment Star Touring Started this a couple years ago!
cowpuc Posted April 1, 2014 #15 Posted April 1, 2014 I think that is FANTASTIC Eck!! Our own little Memorial Day... Count me in!!!
Yammer Dan Posted April 1, 2014 #16 Posted April 1, 2014 Sounds good. Sarge, are you in? Sarge?? That covers a few here:rotfl:Bunch of old retired has-beens. You gonna have to be a little more specific or you could have a crowd!!! I do think this sounds like a good idea.
Ben Rollins Posted April 1, 2014 #17 Posted April 1, 2014 I do this every September to remember my best friend and old riding buddy I lost 3 years ago to cancer a week before his 41 st birthday, So I think it's a great idea.
dueyk1111 Posted April 1, 2014 #18 Posted April 1, 2014 I"M in!!! Just let us know when it is to be::thumbsup2:
uncledj Posted April 1, 2014 #19 Posted April 1, 2014 I like the sound of it. Makes for a great excuse to get an organized ride together.
Eck Posted April 1, 2014 Author #20 Posted April 1, 2014 How about us setting August 25th as the VR memorial ride date every year? Each year on Aug 25th, we can either set up M&E's within our areas and meet up with others for the day ride or just take off and ride by yourself. We all mark down our mileage , towns visited, and maybe even take a few pics and post it all later that evening or the next day in the VR memorial day ride thread for that year. If this was a nice sentiment Star Touring Started a couple years ago, I have never heard about it. I mentioned this to a few at the TX MD this past weekend and decided to post it to get a feel how others would take it. I have never associated with Star Touring or any star group.
Gary N. Posted April 2, 2014 #21 Posted April 2, 2014 I've been doing this every year for the past six years on October 17. But I think of her every day whether I ride or not.
cowpuc Posted April 2, 2014 #22 Posted April 2, 2014 +1 Eck, now seen on my calendar August 25th, official VR "In Memory Of Ride" day.. Great idea Eck!! Thanks Puc
