I’m getting ready to hit the road this week. Since it’s almost winter and snow up north I’m going start go south route. I’ll need to stop at my parents place to help my parents to see about selling their house real soon. They will start retirement and traveling. then I’ll go back on road for south route until spring time to go up north. I hope to go for InZane this time. I will continue the trip all year until before winter in 2020 (before vote for president Trump 2020) FYI I still have those list before I had mild stroke. If any of you already sign up in 2018 and don’t need my service please update for cancel. If you need my service see the link in comments for sign up to be on list. Thank you! http://www.bigbf.com/signup/signup.htm

Bill: Hope you are doing well and fully recovered! When you get around to it, my 97 needs carb rehab. You are welcome to take up residency in Belleville and schedule as many jobs for as long as you like here. I will monitor this thread to check your availability and hope to see you after the snow flies

I sent in an update to the old list since I have three Valks now. If you can provide a guess on a time to come by here, I may add or subtract items depending on the time. I am planning to be at InZane with one, two, or all three Valks also. Not sure yet.

Moved south since you planned the last trip. Calling Hattiesburg, Mississippi home now.
If you roll through this area, I'll have something for you to do (most likely a de-smog) and a flat place to park. But, timing will be ultimately important. Having some construction started so, will need to have an idea of when you might roll through (if you do roll through Mississippi).

I don’t carry that fan. You would need to order one. Your driveway. Nope my trailer are 40 feet long I’ll need flat spot to work bike in my trailer and your bridge 8’-9” my trailer is 13’ high And you can bring to bagelboy if he’s allowed? He’s north from you past I-80. I guess an hour from your place?

Curious as to what you think your route might be? I fully realize that additional sign ups could and most likely will effect where and when you do what ever. For me, due to a current home renovation/remodel and adding on to the house, timing is very important. I would hate to not be able to host you due to being on generator power. Eventually, that is going to happen. Lots of changes happening here. I would also recommend to all taking advantage of Bill's visit to advertise with any other Valkyrie riders in their areas allowing Bill to stay in one place and work on their bikes versus Bill having to move short distances for small jobs. IOWs, bring the bikes to him when he's in your area. Rams

It probably later like in feb/March or so? Don’t worry about host maybe one or two if they don’t have big lot for my trailer. And I can go to them if they got big lot.

Just came across this old thread from BigBF.
Last update was 11.1.2019, wonder if there was a different thread for his 2020 travels.
Any update on how his wife and family are doing/anything we can do?

There are more recent threads than this one. I saw Bill's parents, wife, son, DIL, and SIL today. Most seemed to be doing ok, except his mom. His mom was pretty frazzled still and crying a lot. I was trying to get the trip expenses from her, but she couldn't quite pull herself together enough. I finally just told her to email it to me. If you want to help the family, Oss' PayPal fund is still open.
