China Riders Convention?

Mavrick · 05-21-2008, 03:58 PM

I was thinking about how wonderful this site is and how everyone is so friendly. (Especially ImEazy!) And I thought that maybe it would be awesome to have some sort of convention each year where we all meet up and ride! Eh? Who's with me?

We have tried to get something like that going before,but so far it has not worked out.Everyone has work or tight budget.Now that we are gettng a lot of new members,maybe we can get something started.Maybe something in a couple of diffrent area's so it would not be so too for someone to drive.

Yep sounds great and I'd love to get together for some fun rides but I/we wont go unless its close enough to us like in michigan, ohio, indiana or pennsylvania.

Ohio is iffy since I suspect the state troopers would be lining the trails much like they do the expressways.

We've discussed an Arizona ride.

liverchip · 05-21-2008, 05:31 PM

Kalifornia rides have also been kicked around.

kczukiman · 05-21-2008, 05:32 PM

Where ever it is I'll bet it would make the news.

I'll ride in the back.Can't have too many spare parts. :wink:

I keep waiting for someone to kick around an Atlanta ride. I think Kato works too much. I might have to get his schedule and just follow him to work one day...lol

I'd be willing to ride the the EX into a neighbor state for a meet...if it wouldn't offend anyone.

We should be able to group a Southeast, Northeast, Southwest and Mid-West meet fairly easy...and then let those planning to make the trip decide what's the most neutral location for them.

I guess I am stating the obvious. 8)

What's a day off?

currently off on Thursday and Fridays, but only if one of my other jobs doesn't call.

We travel that far(one way) just to get to the trails, we ride then turn around and head home.

I/we would travel to neighboring states to have a fun weekend get together.Of course I'm talking of trailering our stuff and doing the HEAVY driving in the cushy TB then breaking out the bikes when we arrive.

We actually have talked about going to the east coast and dragging our bikes along in the trailer to have something fun to sight see on.
(my wife has never seen an ocean-but we're surrounded by the great lakes- :roll: )

I might even go the ferry route over to wisconsin, that is fun.

A SE get together in North GA or NC would be about as far as I could go.
