Gman cant ride, visiting day, but a ride somewhere west or north of me could be ok

If Andy or you dont come up with something I will head over to Marcus Dairy in Danbury CT and say hello to the New England crew and do some riding in NW CT then head across to Harriman Park around lunchtime

I didnt get back on the site ....

Is there an option to turn notifications on or off?

andym · Thu 02, Sep 2010, 20:27:40

Lets try again
I missed the last few post...Sorry guys

Does anyone want to ride in NJ or PA , NY on the holiday weekend ?

Maybe on SUnday , middle of the weekend ..less traffic ?

I lost most of this summer due to illness want to get some rides in before I tuch the fat lady in for the winter

When Dan Stocker was alive we did a fall foliage ride to Lake Geroge , home of Americade, but much less crouded in Sept / Oct...Any thoughts?

Big Rig · Thu 02, Sep 2010, 20:56:09

Andy Happy to hear you are back in the saddle...

There are a couple rides happening this month and next...

I know I will be doing the ride to remember. I met Tonysax last year. Would like to try and get all the Jersey riders together for a Valk a thon...so boys start chimin in...

I think we could do that ride, and then after we can all head out for some more miles without sticking around for the thrill show. Just a thought.

andym · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 09:55:30

That sounds good . I just need to ride some before the cold weather.
He side note. I thought when folks replied to my post, I wold get notified via email. Is that only if I started the post? Do I have some option or detting medded up on the VRCC site ?

robin · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 13:12:58

Put the ride out on the board and let us know

I'm in North Jersey

PatC · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 15:28:11

Hey andym,
The Dan Stocker you mentioned. Was he from the old Jersey Riders Cruiser Club? I used to ride with him and a bunch of other old coots around 2001-----Timberwolf and his buddy Johnnie was with us as well. If's its the same Dan---What happened?----Thanks PatC

Jesh · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 18:37:07

Hey Pat ,still got your burgandy and cream? Do you know of any other old Jersey Riders that are still around? It`d be nice to hook up with some of the old crowd and some new also.

Jesh
Official Old Coot

PatC · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 19:04:59

Jesh
Yes still have the maroon and cream valk ----have not been riding as much as I would like to---I have been retired for 2 years now and this retirement thing is not what I thought it would be.---I am working harder now chasing the grandkids around!!----Last time I saw you guys was at the 01 0r 02 Americade ---your brother had the little dog riding around with him---It would be nice to get a ride in this fall.----

Big Rig · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 19:25:48

Andy,

You need to click on the "notify" tab at the top of the post.

Pat C,

Dan passed away about 3 years ago. I used to chat with him on the VIOA board. He walked me thru the piggy-ectomy. Great gentlemen who is missed. I believe he passed from a heart attack, I know he and Andy were close and I am sure he knows more about it. Dan was a stand up guy.

Never met him, but just chatting with about Valks, I still miss his knowledge.

Information for the ride to remember

andym · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 20:08:10

Dan passed away in August 2007 ... I miss him more than words can say. Left a big hole . He was indeed a standup guy more than anyone knows . He did much volunteer work but never bragged about it , just did it quietly. He had a massive heart attack on his front lawn and was gone very quick which I thank God for.

I was absolutley crushed when I heard the news since we just came back from a ride to West Va and he looked great ...We never know when our time is up
That being said ......LETS all go for a ride here in NJ ........... Im free Sunday and Im in Jackson

andym · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 20:14:35

On the ride to West Va we stayed at a B and B at the foothills of the mountain in a small town with Lloyd Dean. We sat around the living room and drank some brews that some Harley guys left us and talked about our families and life till the weeeee hours. A real male bonding trip with two great friends that will live on in my heart for ever. One of those specail moments in life

....Jesh....you are one of the...Rhulli brothers ?

andym · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 21:21:42

I want to relate a story about the VRCC..SOme of the guys here say things are not like the old days ..things have changed, etc . When I got stuck last year in Wildwood, several of the VRCCmemberes took over 3 hours to get my bike started and get me safely on my way home.
John Horton drove up to Jackson 72 miles each way .... 3 times to help me with my bike and more accurately I helped him and I didnt know at the time how bad his back was......

There are some really really nice folks in this club and in my opinion that really applies to the folks I met in NJ..................Im very proud to know every one of them ...all stand up guys....

~ Timbrwolf · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 21:39:53

....everything is relative Andy. ...my experience with the jersey Chapter was around 2002.....I moved out of state in 2004.....John Horton is a good friend of mine....just spoke with him on the phone last week......I couldnt agree more with your impression of him....and I cant emphasize enough....how much we ALL hope that this temporary set back with his back...is remedied as soon as possible to his own personal satisfaction.....and he is back in the wind with his wife Denise and all his friends..

Sept 11, sat I will be down Wildwood overnight for Roar to shore. Sept 18, sat I plan on crashing at Doggs place for Delmarva . If Delmarva is a bust , I'll hit Big Rigs Ride to Remember.

If anyone is around then/there or needs help give me a buzz.

.....Roar to the Shore....one of my favorite rides when I lived in jersey....my mom was born and raised in Cape May.....spent many summers there....did they ever find that guy...Dan...I think his name was..that used to organize the run....last I heard he skipped town with a BUNCH of money...that was supposed to go to the families of fallen NJ State Police Officers families....sure hope they caught that guy...

.....far as the ride went....always loved it....still have 2 or 3 shirts from previous runs..

......by the way....how,s that sax going Tony ?

Dogg · Fri 03, Sep 2010, 23:17:01

~ Timbrwolf · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 07:19:13

.....ride safe my friend..

Jesh · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 07:28:21

Pat,I remember that Americade , the NY chapter sponsored a decent ride while we were there . A fall ride sounds good, it would be nice to meet some of the Jersy chapter.

Jesh · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 07:37:18

Timbr, yes I am a Rulli brother. John, Paul and Bob are all riding. Paul is very active in the Richmond chapter of the Star Riders. We all recently did a western Maryland trip together. Been trying to get out of Jersey for the last 2 years but the housing market has us trapped.

PatC · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 07:39:57

Timbr--I lurk out here on the boards ---still enjoy your posts!--- the riding in the UP/Mich. is far superior to dodging the AC casino bound or Jersey shore crazies we deal with. But we still have New Hope/Frenchtown and rides thru northwestern Joisey into the Pocono's and over to NY etc. ----We had some fun in Freehold for the monthly Cruise Nights eh? Best regards to Chilli---
Andym/BigRigDH----thanks for the info regarding Dan---he was quite a guy----had many breakfasts with him and KC --Jesh ---Stan---Frank---at the Clarksburg Inn before a long ride . I looked forward to the start of the riding season to see what color Dan had the bike painted over the winter!---
Jesh--- I guess we are the last of the VRCC/NJ/OOC ----NJ Offical Old Coot Division----LOL

andym · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 09:26:58

Yes I did quite a few breakfast at the Clarksburg Inn with Dan and Davetta

The main building the burned down last year.....I look back very fondly to those breakfast with Dan.

Hey Jesh a joint ride to Catskills or Adirondaks sounds great . I love Lake GEorge best . We could charter a boat for a fishing trip . I have been there at least 20 times and still love it.

Mid to late September sounds good

andym · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 09:30:35

Make that the first two weekends in October ..still some fall folliage and the kids are back at school and nice and cool but not freezing yet . WE did late October there once and almost got snowed in by a freak storm. Think Im also ok for Sept 18 and 19 .....and I have some days during the week if anyone can do it then?

Jesh · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 17:42:56

Andym,don`t know if I can take that much time. A day trip more local might work though.

Oss · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 18:02:56

give me a heads up when the time comes Andy

Show you some nice roads on the way up once you get out of Bergen County NJ, if you dont mind the long way

andym · Sat 04, Sep 2010, 20:59:36

Jesh
How does meeting Oss in the area of Bear Mountain sound?

andym · Thu 09, Sep 2010, 18:54:31

MAYBE ITS TIME TO BUY A HARLEY ...........LOL
Lots of Harley riders out there to ride with

Big Rig · Thu 09, Sep 2010, 19:10:45

You think you have back problems now???!!!

Andy, I will be riding...just with Coach Pitch (Coaching) and the boys and a wife...well I am juggling and the bike riding is odd man out right now...not to mention allergies...

We will catch up...I promise...

Has anyone signed up for the ride to remember?

Dave

I plan on heading down to Doggs place saturday nite, and cruise delmarva sunday. If I can't make Doggs I will sign up sunday morning and do the ride.

andym · Thu 09, Sep 2010, 21:35:01

Heading to Delmarva (Daves ) on Friday morning. Hoping to ride with Steelers. I knew the Harley comment would solicit a response, Lol. Big , you made me laugh so hard with the back comment . Im just kidding . I cant bitch since I missed most of the rides.
I will check out the ride to remember . I think it is in South NJ near my work in Turnersville but I think I had something going on that weekend

andym · Thu 09, Sep 2010, 21:38:17

Ride to remember is on Sept 19 and I may still be in Maryland if Dave dont toss me out. I enjoy visits with him super nice folks....

andym · Sat 22, Jan 2011, 07:48:22

Well its cold as hell out so Im dreaming of a long warm ride with some of the my friends from the VRCC and VOA. Im hoping that John Horton is better and able to ride. He is still going thru some rough times. Maybe after this snow clears up a bit and the temps rise a bit we will all feel a bit happier and closer to riding season. Oh well I just need to add the progressive shocks and springs and my bike is done LOL (heard that before) OK post some thoughts for spring rides :-)

andym · Mon 31, Jan 2011, 06:04:56

OMG this seems like an endless winter ..This snow is getting me depressed ..I need to look at some bikini pics or something to cheer me up

Big Rig · Mon 31, Jan 2011, 09:13:18

Andy,

Glad to see you are posting...this has been the winter from 4377...I still have the white stuff on my lawn from December with about 16 new inches on it now. I would think after this stuff all melts away, the southern end of the Delaware River is going to have more salt in it than the ocean!!!

More snow for tonight with the promise of rain all day tomorrow...I would kill for a 40 degree day and no salt on the road...

Sorry no pictures of bikinis to post...

How is your health? I hope well...

Stay warm and spring will be here soon (I hope)

andym · Tue 21, Jun 2011, 17:30:14
