Late breakfast in Leesburg Fl on Sat 4/27/2013

Grumpy · Fri 05, Apr 2013, 22:52:25

I assume a few are going to Leesburg Bike-fest. Any one want to meet up for a late breakfast or Early lunch. There is a Perkins Restaurant on 27811 Route 27 Leesburg, FL 34748
352-314-2582 That is a block or so north of Cr48 on US27 on the east side of 27. I figure on being there around 10 am .

I'll look into that Bill. Might be a go!

valkchik · Sat 06, Apr 2013, 09:06:27

Todd and I will see you there, Grumpy. Our friend (new member "Bob M") will be joining us. So add two Interstates to the beautification project that will be taking place in the Perkins parking lot.

Bob M · Sat 06, Apr 2013, 09:19:24

Yes, we are absolutely looking forward to being there.

F6MoRider · Sat 06, Apr 2013, 12:07:08

Hey Grumpy,

I plan to be there to join you. You bringing Murphy?

Are you going up 33 or 27?

I think Murphy will go, I usually go up 301 to 50 then left on 471 and take it past Webster, then right on 478, that runs into CR 48 that intersects with 33 a couple miles from US27. Shortest for me and mostly 2 lane back roads.

Tundra · Sun 07, Apr 2013, 05:42:40

I would like to make this.

larue · Sun 07, Apr 2013, 10:48:05

County me In Grumpy and please make sure you bring Murphy

Valkahuna · Sun 07, Apr 2013, 12:17:26

Time permitting, I'll be there as well. Pretty close to the time we will be returning North for the summer, and it would be nice to say good-bye.

Dragon Valk · Fri 12, Apr 2013, 07:57:34

Sounds like a good time. I plan on being there and maybe
can round up a few more Valkyries from the Inverness area.

FloridaValkRyder · Fri 12, Apr 2013, 22:38:28

Looks like I can make that ride after all. See you there. Looks like I will have my new windshield by then too!!

John Schmidt · Sat 13, Apr 2013, 09:32:51

I'll hafta see how momma is doing but sure would like to do this. Would like to give Pete his northbound adieu as well.

If'n I can make it, I'll get with Jeff & Larue for the ride over. Not sure about the Bikefest itself, haven't been very impressed with it lately.

Well, welcome to the best motorcycle group on the Internet!

valkchik · Tue 16, Apr 2013, 06:24:24

Welcome, Sheffjs! Glad you could join us. Todd and I happened to meet Sherry, her husband, and her brother in the same manner as the VRCC Florida riders found us...by chance. We were eating breakfast in Mulberry and saw two bodacious Valks parked out front. Of course a conversation ensued wherein the men talked about recent farkles and the women talked about cute biker clothes. Go figure. Can't wait for our newest members to meet everyone at Leesburg breakfast. They're really nice folks and have the best looking bikes ever!

Bob M · Tue 16, Apr 2013, 08:51:58

Welcome Sheffjs! We'll have to meet for breakfast in mulberry some time.

Valkahuna · Tue 16, Apr 2013, 11:03:16

Welcome SheffJS. It's a good group of GREAT (myself excluded) folks. You be happy Valkchik twisted your arm to check us out. Looking forward to meeting you.

John - Seeing you would be a real treat, as will it be to catch up with Murphy and Grumpy. Sorry, I don't mean to slight anyone else, and this is not meant that way.

Earl · Tue 16, Apr 2013, 12:48:33

Looking forward to seeing many of you again, or meeting you for the first time!

-Earl

_Sheffjs_ · Tue 16, Apr 2013, 22:42:25

Posted on wrong thread, sheesh.....Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Bert AKA,Valkaholic · Thu 18, Apr 2013, 22:03:51

I'm thinking name tags.... Real name/club handle!!

John Schmidt · Fri 19, Apr 2013, 09:06:15

Sounds like Rita's daughter is driving up about that time so I've been given the OK. Wish I had the energy to pull down the rear end on the bike before then, needs a good going over. Don't guess another short trip will hurt anything.

Looking forward to the ride.

pap1030 · Sun 21, Apr 2013, 16:32:00

I'm new to VRCC as well but I am trying to convince a friend and Valk rider also to ride down with me. We'll be coming from St Aug/Jax area if anybody wants to hook up...

Welcome, why don't you meet up with the rest of us at Perkins? You can meet the folks, talks bikes stuff and ooh and aww and all the shiny chrome.

pap1030 · Sun 21, Apr 2013, 18:02:45

I can really dig it. I've met a couple of VRCC riders was were cool and after all we're all Valk riders!!

billyboy · Mon 22, Apr 2013, 13:24:34

Looks like it's a go for me. Going to try to hook up with Doug and see wnat happens from
there. Looking foward to this. Will probably go up through Brooksville on the back roads
as mush as possible. Looks like a good turn out, see you there.

Bill

pap1030 · Mon 22, Apr 2013, 16:38:28

Anybody coming from the FLA northeast, St Aug or Jax area?

John Schmidt · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 09:29:37

Larue, we're meeting at 8:30am Saturday at the Home Depot on Lee Rd. just off I-4. That's one more exit up from the Fairbanks exit when we met at the gas station last time. Hope to leave shortly after that, will take some nice backroads over to where we're all meeting for lunch...about 45-47 miles.

valkchik · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 09:48:17

The Lakeland meetup (5 bikes strong!) is 8:00 am, at the McDonalds at 5525 Walt Loop Rd, Lakeland, FL 33809. I believe that would be Exit 33 off I-4, but there's a turn or two so definitely check out the Google Map: http://goo.gl/maps/uNwyF.

Then Greg (aka F6MoRider) is going to lead us through the hinterlands of Polk County and on to the Perkins.

John Schmidt · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 14:33:36

Sounds like we'll also have five bikes if all show up. Going to be a tough trip though, we go right past the Yalaha Bakery with all their low calorie goodies.

Valkahuna · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 18:55:21

The Lady of the house and I are going to be there (unless it snows - Oops, wrong area of the country!)

Kim & I will be leaving about 8:45 from our house just south of Silver Springs. If you guys can get to Ocala by 8:15 or see we can meet you guys & take you the back way {avoiding the Villages

} to the breakfast meet up.
Lemme know.

Tropic traveler · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 20:22:43

I know of a back way from the Perkins to the 75 Chrome Shop that will completely bypass Leesburg traffic & SR44. There is a bit of road construction on SR44, not too bad though.
I'll 'splain it when we get there if anybody is interested in a group ride to the truck show after breakfast.

Eddie, some time ago I took 470 west from 27 all the way around the south side of Lake Panasoffkee and up the west side. It comes out on SR44 about five miles west of the chrome shop. It was one of those days when I had time on my hands and wondered "where does that road go" and I never bothered to look at a map....just took off and enjoyed the ride. It would be about 30 miles from the restaurant though via that route, mostly all country.

Tropic traveler · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 22:32:57

Yup, 470 west except turning north on 301 then to 44 west to the Chrome Shop. Either that or turning north on some un-named road to 468 west joining 301 bypassing Sumterville & Coleman.
Either way gets us there all back-roady type riding except for the 301-44 intersection. Using the traffic light to turn left at that intersection will be helpful getting a group turned together.

Looks like we could have an impressive size pack of Valkyries!

texaninsouthfl · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 22:35:30

I'll be there. I'll be accompanied by my good friend Knucklehead.... ya'll be nice to him, he's always sensitive about me having to slow down so he can keep up with me. He might be really skittish being surrounded by dragons.

By the way, what's going on with the Florida Board? I'd been absent for a good while do to being busy with work and went to post to see who might be in Leesburg this and the board was pretty much gone.

We're riding up tomorrow from West Palm and staying in Tavares. We'll meet y'all at Perkins around 10a... I'm looking forward to see the couple of you've I've met in person as well as other's I've not met yet.

If anyone is in the area Friday afternoon or evening, give me a buzz. 561-598-2988

Tex

Valkahuna · Thu 25, Apr 2013, 23:00:45

It was decided to move the "Old FL Board" to this site on the Main VRCC site. Much improved, more features, easier to put up pics, etc. Have not heard anything negative.

See you found it Tex. See you Saturday!

Eddie & John: I'll be happy to find any way that takes us around Leesburg, and all of what goes with all of the commotion that usually goes on there. Look forward to seeing everyone!
