rickardracing Posted January 4, 2016 #1 Posted January 4, 2016 Well the Holidays are over. It is a new year and before you know it...............MAINTAINENCE DAY !!!!
Chaharly Posted January 4, 2016 #2 Posted January 4, 2016 Depends on where. If I cant make it then it IS too early for a maintenance day
cowpuc Posted January 4, 2016 #3 Posted January 4, 2016 Been thinking about M.D. a LOT too Randy,, Tip, Tweeks n I are hoping to make it this year. Cant wait to see everyone again - both old friends and meet some new ones PLUS Tip didnt get to meet all the new friends that I did last year so this year we got some making up to do in that regard, I think I left half of a Pulled Pork sandwich and some baked beans sitting on a chair behind the Black Harley that was in the garage last year that I have to finish, I have to see if I can find my lost 4 gig SD Card on Don's lawn - shouldnt be to hard to find - been thinking about it and I think it will be right next to the imprint in the lawn of that kickstand plate that FlyinFool gave me, I never did get to see no pond monsters cause I was to busy filling up the new 16 gig that I went and bought cause the 4 gig ran out of space so I gotta go looking for Pond Monsters, gotta go ride around the neighborhood and see if I can find the little bridge again that I kept finding when I was lost trying to find my way back to M.D. from buying the new SD Card at Walmart - been thinkin there may be several little matching bridges - a TRUE mystery. Oh yea, I also think I may have some left over tickets from last years drawings that I was saving for this years drawing, if they dont produce this year I may be willing to sell them for half price if anyone is interested.
XV1100SE Posted January 4, 2016 #4 Posted January 4, 2016 I messaged Freebird before the holidays and he was looking at his calendar. Hope it isn't May 28th... wedding in the family that weekend.
billmac Posted January 4, 2016 #5 Posted January 4, 2016 Hope to get the date right this time , had a pre ride last year. All was good though.
Flyinfool Posted January 4, 2016 #6 Posted January 4, 2016 MD is usually the weekend after Memorial day, that would be June 4th this year, that would work for me.
rickardracing Posted January 4, 2016 Author #8 Posted January 4, 2016 I look forward to this every year. There is a small group of us that meet and ride to and from together. Always a good time........even though we got SOAKED on the way home last year!
Freebird Posted January 4, 2016 #9 Posted January 4, 2016 Sorry, it won't be June 4th as I have a trade show in Indianapolis that weekend. I'll try to set the date tonight.
Freebird Posted January 4, 2016 #10 Posted January 4, 2016 It's a little later than usual but I'm thinking June 11th this year.
Freebird Posted January 4, 2016 #11 Posted January 4, 2016 The weekend of Memorial Day conflicts with MarCarls annual gathering. The weekend before that is too soon for various reasons. I think the 11th is the best choice.
cowpuc Posted January 4, 2016 #12 Posted January 4, 2016 11th sounds good! Thinking our little blue motel room will be thawed out enough to be able to unroll it by then!!
Flyinfool Posted January 4, 2016 #13 Posted January 4, 2016 11th can work, gives an extra week of healing time. Even if I ain't healed, I still got the big red truck.
steamer Posted January 4, 2016 #14 Posted January 4, 2016 What is this Maintenance Day you speak of? Joe, take your meds, it will come back to you.
steamer Posted January 4, 2016 #15 Posted January 4, 2016 The 11th is real good for use. About time someone scheduled an event around my days off from work. I will only have to take 3 days vacation to get 7 days off.
billmac Posted January 4, 2016 #16 Posted January 4, 2016 when you get done thinking I'd like to ink the calendar for that day. I do know the way down now.
Larry1963 Posted January 4, 2016 #17 Posted January 4, 2016 Well the Holidays are over. It is a new year and before you know it...............MAINTAINENCE DAY !!!! Never, is it ever to early to think about motorcycles. That is like eating breakfast, is it to early to be thinking about dinner..... Never!
Freebird Posted January 5, 2016 #19 Posted January 5, 2016 when you get done thinking I'd like to ink the calendar for that day. I do know the way down now. OK....here you go. Link to the Calendar: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=464&day=2016-6-11
steamer Posted January 5, 2016 #20 Posted January 5, 2016 No rooms available at Oberlin inn for that weekend! Where did everyone stay last year?
Flyinfool Posted January 5, 2016 #21 Posted January 5, 2016 Best place to stay is by the pond monsters.
etcswjoe Posted January 5, 2016 #22 Posted January 5, 2016 Best place to stay is by the pond monsters. We stayed on the other side of the driveway I heard pond monsters don't like to walk across gravel.
Freebird Posted January 5, 2016 #23 Posted January 5, 2016 Oberlin Inn is still under construction. Not sure when it's supposed to be finished. Will post list of other hotels over the next few days. In fact, now that the date is set, I'll start a thread under the Regional Rallies forum. That is where it belongs.
Freebird Posted January 5, 2016 #24 Posted January 5, 2016 OK....the official thread for Maintenance Day can be found here: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?114865-Freebird-s-Maintenance-Day-2016&p=949804#post949804 Please add any hotel info and etc. there. I will delete this thread in a day or so.
rickardracing Posted January 5, 2016 Author #25 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) No rooms available at Oberlin inn for that weekend! Where did everyone stay last year? Actually if you go to their new website, there are rooms available. 2 night minimum stay at $189 per night plus taxes and fees. I just checked. Ummm. yeah....not. We stayed at the Quality Inn in Elyria. Not the best part of town for sure. Not sure if I will be staying there again. Edited January 5, 2016 by rickardracing
