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

TJ, maybe hold off for a while and give the locals a chance to fill the class first.

Who's next?

[Disco]

Me!  I just signed up. 

TJ, thanks for spearheading this great idea.  It's seems very vice-presidential!   

I'll email Chip in case you haven't.

..... Thanks for the vote. 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.

When should we put this on the main board?  Give the locals until the end of February?

[5_19]

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.

[2 Valks]

I just confirmed our spot for the RLAP class!  Rubber hoses? We don't need no stinking rubber hoses!

As of this morning, we have 8 riders signed up.

Let me know if you need anything else.
Remember - Safe Riding is No Accident . . .

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.

[RainMaker]

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

[Lyn-Del]

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!!

I will take care of that for you Lyn-Del.  Glad you decided to try again! 

[Lyn-Del]

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,
Me thinks that your arms are going to be so sore you won't be able to lift the food to your mouth in spite of being hungry. I hope your working out and getting in shape. If not that just more food for everybody else, me included.

[hotglue #43]

We will get him a Tall table... and a short chair....  line up mouth level with the food!!!!!

[HayHauler]

Sounds like a plan Mark.  But, ain't eatin like I used to.  Put myself on a diet.  That just means that TJ can have my portion of brisket. 

Lost 38 lbs so far and not going to stop.

[hotglue #43]

Wow.....  congrats!!!!!! been a while since I've seen ya.......
heck... my shadow weighs 38 pounds!!!!!   

[Sambeaux]

I'm in 

[Hoghead]

My hats off to all of you. I'm not quite ready for that yet. I haven't scratched my IS yet and I'm not going to April 2nd.  Hope everyone does well and keeps it upright.

[HayHauler]

The way I see it, if you don't lay it down at least once, you're not trying hard enough.  But that's just me.

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.

+1 I just hope nobody's saw it. 

[Disco]

...if you don't lay it down at least once, you're not trying hard enough...

That sounds more like skiing than motorcycling to me.

Have you purchased the "rubber bumpers" already?  Might be a good idea.

TJ - any update on who the fools riders are that have signed up?  Are we at 10 yet?  Is anyone bringing a vidcam to document this so that the people at the GOTF can gasp in amazement or laugh their butts off?

[5_19]

There are 9 signed up for sure. Haven't heard from motorman Tom, I will send him an email and let y'all know.

Is anyone bringing a vidcam to document this so that the people at the GOTF can gasp in amazement or laugh their butts off?

Just remember, some people don't want to be on video or have their picture taken! Can't wait for Friday to get here.

[HayHauler]

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...

Ah, yes.   I remember.

OK.  All of us must agree then  - no videos.  Group pictures only and only those who want to be photographed   - no un-posed shots.  I won't even bring a camera.
