Vogel is in session.

Well I guess I can go to bed now 5 am will be here before we know it. Jamie and Paula already bedded down downstairs, and Charlene and I have a few things to do then beddy bye.............

If it stops at Dillard house you will have a few takers, I have a sheet made up for people to sign up for Dillard House. Looking forward to seeing you again Brian, its always great when you show up, you know those roads better than anybody.

Sorry to hear that Dan, a lot of regulars will be missing this time around. We will be thinking of you and telling stories about you and the bears.......................

I agree with the Muffin, I always leave them in gear...........just so much safer.

I just couldnt pass this up..............YOUR WRONG FREEBIRD...........just kidding Don, I could not pass that up. I dont own one, dont care too, so I am with you, even though your wrong.................LOL!!!!!!!

Tomorrow, Wed. is the big day, we should be at the park between 11-12:00. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. We will be set up at our usual location in the parking lot of the office/conv. store. If you haven't registered you may do so there. Be safe on the road, we may see them, but they don't always see us.............

Sorry to hear about your medical woes, we all have them some worse than others, yours is nothing to shrug off, we will keep you in our prayers and will be thinking about you while at Vogel, and I am sure there will be some Puc stories to share by all. We will miss you but understand whats going on, take it easy, listen to the Doc's and get better. We are here for you always.

Well life wont be so boring if you guys make your way over to Vogel this week, we would love to see both of you there, even if you have to cage it, doesnt matter how you get there..............

Looking forward to seeing you guys at Vogel, be safe on your travels.

I am only 155 miles, but I think there are a couple much closer to Vogel than me, Randyr is very very close like 25 or less and Atlanta Dragonslayer is a little further. I am getting impatient, have a couple of things to do to the bike, I just installed some LED driving lights last nite and they are bright, but in doing so something happen to the power port so today I have to change it out for a new one that I just happen to have and all will be right. Only 3 days to go...............:clap2:

Wowwser,,,,,,beautiful bike Dick, that would be my dream bike also, maybe in a few years I can have one like that, but will probably have to sell my trike and my other 2 1st gens I am acquiring to get one, will probably have to add cash to the deal but you gotta do, what you gotta do.

I love the older Concours, what year is that, I was looking for a long time but could never find one close enough to me, settled on the Venture.

Your first impression to most Vogel goers was made in 2005, and thats the guy we remember on a beautiful 1st Gen called Brown Sugar!!!

Do you think anybody will notice that it was washed by the time you get to Vogel............

I want to thank everyone that attended and contributed to the "Kids" at St. Jude Children's Hospital. I just received a check from Don and Patti Ellis aka B2Dad & B2Mom, for the Kids and it was a very nice check indeed. I am hoping that some of you might join us at St. Jude Children's Hospital on Oct. 3, 2015 when we present our donation to them in Memphis, Tn. We have been raising money for St. Jude since 2005 when we had the first Tail of the Dragon @ Vogel. We are well over $35,000.00 since then. Again thanks to everyone who supports, donates and helps us do what we can for the "Kids" at St. Jude.

Its never too late to attend. The Seasons Inn and the Best Western in Blairsville are where a lot of people are staying, you might be able to find a cabin at the park.

Don, do you still have the list by years that shows the colors, it used to be in the history before you updated?

No, not totally, with his diabetes, andheart problems, he doesn't want to take the chance of having an episode while riding, which did happen at Skid's when we went to the Skid In.......... We are looking to find him a reasonably priced trike to replace the 83, maybe we will get lucky and find one at a bargain price like I did.

very cool bob.....................

We were told it was an 87, but I havent seen the paperwork yet, the paint looks to be the original, I will have to call him and have him look at the title and get back to me.

Tricia, it will let you know when it is ready, hopefully it wont take me too long to get it all fixed up, The plastic is in good shape, it runs great since I synced the carbs, I think all the lighting issues are fixed, mostly its replacing the fuel lines, and getting the gremlins out the radios.

I am getting another Venture to add to my collection of 1, K-rider is selling me his 87, it still needs a little tlc, but it runs great, has a few electric gremlins that need to be fixed, this will give me something to do with all my free time. Jamie is also giving up riding the 83 I sold to him 3 years ago, so I will be buying that one back also, I love that bike, and I regretted selling it, but its is still in great shape, I have been doing all the maintenance work on it for him. The 87 will be sold once I get everything fixed. Its a beautiful bike it is my favorite color combo. This is not the actual bike, but identical to it. http://www.venturerider.org/history/images/sliders/slide3.jpg
