Go ahead if you'd like. Seems we get a lot of national exposure on this board. |

However I prefer to just act as the vice assistant without his approval  . It's not practical to move the meetings to the Dublin area.

I think we can add one more to the list. 2 Valk called me today and said he was singing up. Taking the RLAP course riding 2-up. Lisa you can be un-official in charge of the camara  . Of course the only shots allowed are  us not needing rubber hoses on the crash bars. |

I don't know anymore who all signed up attached is a copy of the email I received today from Tom at RLAP in Houston I think we are doing just fine on this board with already 8 signed up. If we post it on the general board it will be on the 3rd page by this afternoon! We still have a month to go untill GOTF weekend. |

I agree. There are only 12 spots available and that leaves 4 for the tire-kickers.

I'm one of those signed up -- please ask your camera wielder not to point it my way. Last time I took the class, I got shut down by panic attacks, and that was NOT helped by the cameras. I'd really like to finish it this time!!

Thanks! At least a large part of the VRCC already knows about my camera phobia, so that'll help.
See you soon!! Only a month away .........

Hay Jimmyt Mine's been down at 60 mph with some sliding, down with a driver on a cell phone cutting me off and down too many times when I forgot the #$^ kickstand wasn't down . I don't want to drop it any more but this class may do it. Hope not. |

I rode the route from the HoJo to the RLP location in Sugarland today... about 45 minutes with light traffic. I suspect no traffic at 7 am on Saturday morning. Wer should be there around 7:45, plenty of time to pay up and sign any waivers, etc.. I cannot wait either!! Y'all ride safe on the way down... Hay Jimmyt |

Group pictures only and only those who want to be photographed - no un-posed shots. I won't even bring a camera. |
