cowpuc · February 17, 2015

I was just looking at the list of great folks who are signed up for Don's MD and smiling over what appears to be a GREAT time to put faces with names and a thought occurred to me - I wonder what the largest attendance of any VR outing has been? I also wonder what the largest attendance of a Freebird MD has been?

Anybody have a clue?

I know,, sometimes I wonder to much..

Freebird · February 17, 2015

I think that the largest was indeed one of my maintenance days. There was one year when we had somewhere around 280 people.

Hey Don remember the first one I think there was about 6 or 8 of us . Big Mike and I came all the way from Michigan to get a hotdog . The other guys were local .What is that guys name that cooked those dogs the first couple years. How is Bob doing . What about the orginal t-shirt guy . Just drawing a blank here at 5am.

Yes Eddie, that seems like a different lifetime but I remember that. That was Jim that did the cooking. He rode a silver '99 with almost every piece of chrome that Yamaha made for them. Probably more than yours at the time. I think that was before you became the "Shiny One". I don't see Bob much any more but I think he is doing fine.

cowpuc - I've only attended 2 or 3 md's at Freebirds but I can guarantee you will enjoy your day(s) and never meet a stranger.

Daayaam!

If it really is a "maintanance" day, what's possible to get done with 280 people milling around?

A lot of BSing spread everywhere.

A lot of friendships started, friendships rekindled......

Maintenance of the soul is still maintenance.

Freebird · February 18, 2015

Actually, a LOT of work got done. It's amazing how much can get done when people jump in and help one another.

cowpuc · February 18, 2015

I haven't attended a genuine "Maintenance Day" yet but, a couple years ago Tip and I went for a ride down to a place called "Vogel", I think that was in the Georgia Mountains. Bumped into a bunch of VR members at the Tail of the Dragon and followed em to go find out what a Vogel was. We camped there and the next day I was crossing the parking lot, there were about 6 guys standing around someones complete MK2 talking, I walked over to the covered shin dig place (about 2 minutes away), got a cup of coffee and walked back down to the group gathered around the bike. They had dismantled the fairing and were working on the speedo or something. Jumped on Tweeks, rode over to pick up Tip, came back no more than 1/2 hour later and one of the 6 was riding the finished product around the lot.. Definitely amazing what a group can do once they set their collective mind to a task..

Eddie · February 19, 2015

I seen a guy at Vogel once that snyc'ed about 100 bikes when it was about 95 degrees . Even bikes that weren't in our group.

Freebird · February 19, 2015

I remember that guy. He even did a BMW. Have no idea who he was.

Not counting Freebird's MD, I believe B2dad and B2mom's M & E has had the biggest turnout, at least for a 1 day event. Last year we had 95 total. We raised over $3000 for St. Jude's. It was awesome! (thanks everyone!).

cowpuc · February 22, 2015

I shoulda known something involving all you folks that work so hard at fund raising for St. Judes would have been right at the top of the attendance list Mom!!

THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!

Did you count the Snake???

b2dad · February 23, 2015

Yammer Dan

Sorry no, I didn't. Since he didn't eat any fish, I didn't count him...or the other one Don found. that would up the count...to say 97???

LOLOLOL!

Believe me I WAS COUNTING HIM!!

b2dad · February 24, 2015

He probably counted you too!

Yammer Dan · February 24, 2015

If I had found him sharing my sleeping bag Don would have had a new Door!

Not retired yet over here Dan, my original plan was to retire this year at 50 but Im not ready for the wanting and not getting part of life yet(fixed income-I hate those words they scare me). I have some expensive hobby's and they need to be feed.

Yammer Dan · February 24, 2015

Yeah that fixed Income thing. They give you a number then find ways to cut it in half!!
