Now, now that is not nice..... Leave Fred alone  ;D :crazy2:

This would be another gathering I'd like to make seeing how I missed the last.  ;D
Bert, where are you located? I'll be coming from Milton, FL . Wait.... I see your address. :laugh:
I'd like to make that trip so I'll look into it and keep you up dated!  :coolsmiley:
Thx,
Keith

Hope you can make this one Keith   :cooldude:

Thanks Jack, if the wife gives me the Ok, I'm going to try to head that way. I'll hope to know soon, depends on New Year plans that I don't know about yet!   ;)
Isn't that how it usually goes.  :2funny:
Thx

Can I come if I don't do some thing stupid on the way home.  :angel:

You still got til the end of the year for some brownie points  :evil:






Bill, please, there are other easier and safer ways to get yourself another Valk  :( :) ;D

Dang it! Going to miss another one.  :(. Will be returning from Christmas in Connecticut, and New Years and Granddaughters 5th Birthday celebration in Charleston, SC on that day.

Bert, thanks for the invite to a great time! I'm sure you all will have a ball.

:coolsmiley:  ;D

+2 Looking forward to this Bert :cooldude:

 


I Hope Things Work Out So That You Can Make It !
We All Look Forward To Meeting A Few More Valkaholic's !  ;D ;D

Thank you Bert for your invitation. Put me in for 2

OK, Bert. My wife and I will both be there, and we will be bringing a big bowl of her signature Potato Salad. It isn't fancy, and doesn't have a lot of extra stuff thrown in, but Nick can attest that it is GOOD!!!!

Don

Two one way or another! ;)

You're Always Welcome, As Long As You Don't Pull Any More Stunts Like Last Time !
I Hope You Got It Out Of Your System  Then, LOL !

Ok Everyone ,Just 18 More Days Until The Greatest Valkyrie Gathering In Sunny Central Florida !
I Hope The Weather Holds Out For A Great Day For BBQ , Bert's :)BBQ

Looks like 3 from here, Murphy, Gary and my self.  Can't wait.  :cooldude:

Looks like I can finally make it.. (dang there's another song in there), gonna try and make some first impression's.. 

We should come up with a meet spot and time of departure for everyone going from our area  :cooldude: Probably the Park would be a good spot?

Hope to make it. Asked for the off so we'll see.   :crazy2:

Well Hell....if Billy is going I am too. Put Lesa and I down as well, it's such a long ride.

Patti and I plan to come.  We should be in FL. on the 29th. If everything gets settled in ok we will be there.
Thanks Bert.

That is great Roger, we have seen you and Patti in a while. Hope it all works out  :cooldude:

In talking to Jack on what works for him - Jack will wait for us on 471. If anyone wants to go that route we can meet at the cottage, then we can go collect Jack. Time at the cottage TBD.  471 - 301 To Bert's country kitchen we go.     

LTR RTE  :cooldude: Hey Bert is there anything I can bring besides my appetite  ;D I wouldn't have a problem picking up some steaks and marinating them?

Steak Would Be Nice  ;D ;D ;D

But Your Favorite Home-Made Side Dish Or Desert Will Be Better , Beings I Am Providing The Meat.

Looks like I won't make it.   :tickedoff:  You guys have fun   :crazy2:

No Problem  :cooldude:

I thought U put in for it  :roll:

Bert, I'm going to try to make it to the first ride of the year party. We'll see how the next week and a half settles in. Sure would like to see everyone again. Heck it's only a hop skip and a jump up the road. :cooldude:

Jack and Jerry,
I will be waiting on the North West corner of Cortez Blvd/SR 50 and US 471@ the Circle K Gas station
(entrance from either road) Just let me know an approximate time.
  I assume that's where your meeting Jack? If not give me a location and I'll be there.

Hey Doug, if U want to hook up with me at the 7-11 at SR54 & 41 in Land o Lakes. Then we can go to the Cottage together and meet up with Jerry & Company?

Jack takes Dean Still road going west. He will meet us at the bottom or beginning of 471 at 98. Just maybe 10 miles from the cottage. i was thinking the Grumpy clan might come this way? What ever works out along the way, just pick a spot. Or we will see you at Bert's BBQ Smokehouse and Grill.  

We are taking 301 to 42 then north on 25 to 464. then side streets to Burts.

Sounds good Nick

 :cooldude: I will check back to see what time Jerry wants us at the cottage.

I will make an Anchovie Pie  :cooldude:

Keep this up and you will earn one of this  :2funny:

Or we will have to get one of this  :2funny:

(http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu354/alvaj029/misc%202/images_zpsifq6akgq.jpg)

Just kidding brother, who am I to judge, I ate liver once before  ;D

Hey Bert sorry I forgot to reply to you.  Sandy and I will be coming to your famous party and look forward to seeing all of our Valkyrie friends!  Greg

Jerry what time are you planning to leave the cottage when heading up to Berts?

Looks like Laurie and I should be able to make this one! Have been wanting to meet all of you and have been looking forward to this!
What time is the shindig happening? Laurie has to work NYE and will be up late. Would love to meet up with some riders from Orlando/Ocoee area and ride up together.

Also, perhaps it would be a good idea for everyone to share what they're bringing so we don't end up with 27 pans of potato salad?????

Really looking forward to meeting all of you. So far it looks like it's going to be a beautiful riding day!


Bob

Was not sure when the start time was, if it was posted then I missed it.  Time is TBD and will be posted so stay tuned  :cooldude:

UPDATE!!! It appears that this year NYE is on the 31st of Dec and not the day before the BBQ!   :2funny: :2funny: :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2:

Ok Jerry, we'll see what happens.

 :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:   no more drinking for you  :crazy2:

Gather time at the cottage 8:30 and leave the cottage at 9:00am to find Jack who will be about 10 minutes away. And for you eschew obfuscation, again the invite to come the evening before and stay at the cottage, just sayen. Ok yes we have Barkie dogs. .

Good news for us!
Kim has been cleared to ride at least on the back of my bike & on her own bike IF she feels like it. Just in time for the 1/2/16 gathering at casa de Bert.  :cooldude: :cooldude:

Great news, Eddie!!! Looking forward to seeing you and Kim. (and everyone else, of course)

Hey Bert, Add two more to the head count. Pat & Joe will be there, lookin forward seeing everybody!

Bert please add two more to the list that will be coming with us to your party - Frank Marchese and John.  Thanks - Greg

 
Those dogs would fit right in......in Key West!  :roll:

If your table can fit one more I would also like to attend and see everyone Thank You.  Merry Christmas to all

Randy- Farmer998

Are they all neutered in Key West?   :roll:

We have a mobile groomer and I'm sure that the late October dress up shots makes Sherry tip more. 

I will do my best to make this event. Will just be getting back from Atlanta..going to the Peach Bowl to see the 'Noles beat up on Houston!!

Well darn Billyboy... :-\ I was hoping to meet you this go round. I'm still planning on making the trip at this point. The weather for the last 4 -5 days has been a wet one.  :tickedoff: waking up Christmas morn it's still wet,foggy and warm. I hope it's clear and cool by the 1st when I leave out!  :coolsmiley:
See you next trip Billyboy!  :crazy2:
Keith

Ya Bert, the wife and l will be there! Jym at the wilderness park, jym777 Thanks Bert!

OK, that does it, I'm staying home.  :2funny:  My gas mask needs a new filter and I haven't found a replacement yet.   :roll:

Alright I will leave the anchovies home. I will bring something special that no one will bring   ;)

Yeah Nick, that really helps me relax.  :2funny:  I'll start pulling the other leg now so you can walk straight.  ;)

Promise John there is No Bait in this one  :2funny:

Evening Bert!  :coolsmiley: I wanted to let you know that I'll have a friend making the ride down with me. My neighbor Bill would like to see what the VRCC is all about.  :uglystupid2: maybe I talk it up to much!  :angel: Anyway he is a good guy, retired and rides whenever he can or when the wife says "isn't it time for a ride"?  :crazy2: I wish I could hear that from my wife...  :laugh: So with that said please add my friend Bill and I really look forward to meeting you and others! Thanks, Keith

Not to worry Nick, doesn't look like I'll make it anyway.

John, why don't you and Jeff come up by car?

Good suggestion. John, I am going to try and make it to the "Event". I'll even drive!

Sorry, transportation isn't the issue, although the Valk is on jack stands at the moment getting a new front tire mounted....somewhere. Having trouble finding a place that can/will protect my chrome wheels. 

I have used Cycle Gear here in Tampa with good results on my chrome wheels. But that is probably dependent or which store you use.

We're up in Connecticut with the grandkids. We had pizza a couple of days ago, and to get everyone all riled up, I suggested anchovies as one of the toppings.  :evil: You should have heard the outcries!  :o
So, I got some on the side, which to me meant I was not gonna need to share these. :cooldude:

When I brought them home from the pizza shop, the GK's decided to try them, as did my D-I-L, and my wife. Well, they all liked them, so I got almost none. :-[

I guess the moral is that many don't like them, but have never tried. :-\ Hey Nick, I'm with you on this, and as for you John, you are entitled to eat what you want. (I'll have to admit, that when they are the really hairy ones, I'm sometimes not that enamoured with them either. Jeez, I guess anchovies are somewhat like women) oops, I didn't say that, did I??? ;D :D :-[ :crazy2: :uglystupid2: :-X :-X

Thanks for the invitation.  I will ride up from the south with Jeff, flsix.

Tom Wallace, Basquerider

Out the door in 15 min. See everyone soon.
Safe ride to everyone.

Rolling out at 8 am, see all you folks soon.

You guys have a great time and be safe. Need lots of pics.   :crazy2:

I'm really disappointed that I won't be making this trip today. Got home from Atlanta late last night (Bummer my 'Noles lost ) and am just exhausted.  My best to everyone for a great gathering and safe rides. Have a blessed new year.

Hey.....wasn't a good day for either Florida team....BOOOO!!

We did miss you up at Bert's though. Make sure you (and John?) make the next one.

Thanks Bert!! Had a great time and met some cool valk riders, you did a great job putting this together and Happy Birthday!!!

Bert, I would like to thank you for your Hospitality once again. The food was outstanding, and was only outdone by the fact I got to meet a lot of members of the VRCC fraternity, that I had not had the pleasure of meeting before. I hope you enjoy your Birthday (Tuesday???) as much as I did today. Thank you again, and Happy Birthday!!!!!

Bert, thanks for having us again this year. I had a great time, good to see some I have not seen for a while.  Hope you had a great birthday.

Thank you Bert for a great gathering and the mountain of food. Sure had a good time meeting new folks and see others again.
Home at 9:45 with 510 miles on the clock.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to the effort.

Bert

It was a GREAT DAY and I want to thank you and your family for hosting this awesome get together.
Food was great and we got to share with friends and get to meet your daughter and brothers.  :cooldude: :cooldude:

Bert,

Thanks for all you did for a fine group of "cult" riders.  It was a pleasure to see all  people we "southerners" don't get see enough.

Thanks again and Hppy Birthday

Thanks for your generosity Bert :cooldude: and Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Bert.  Thank you for a great time.  You have an amazing family, Luke is too cool.

Gil and Crystal

    Thanks Bert and Happy Birthday. I really enjoyed being a part of an amazing party, you have a great family who made everyone feel welcome. ;)

 Thanks again
