Sunday, Feb 16th, Lake Harris Hideaway

[FloridaValkRyder]

Any one like to try again for the Hideaway? Feb 16th, around 11am. http://www.lakeharrishideaway.net.
Weather forecast looks GREAT....
Well, it actually does but my faith in forecasts is no longer active, especially a week out!!

[Grumpy]

If I get these stinking cast's off I will try to ,make it. Needless to say with 4 wheels, not 2. But I need to get the hell out of the house, going nucking futs.

[James III]

  Would be great to see you Bill! Hope you are able to make the gathering.
Agree Jeff, the forecasting has been 3 or 4 days off for over a month now....not even close.
I'm going to try and meander up that way Sunday, it's a nice ride.

Weather prognosticators wrong? Oh come now!! The AOPA weather map seems to be close to the same as the TV so maybe we'll luck out this time. If so, I'm planning on it. Now if I can just get a grease zerk installed in that right hip.....

Bill, are you able to drive? I can appreciate how you must be going a little crazy being cooped up for so long. If you want to get out and can't drive, I swear I will come and get you. We all would like to see you. Let me know the situation, it's really not very far from here for me.

I have been driving for short trips, just waiting on the Doc thursday, if the pins and the cast come off
I will be able to make the trip. If not I will have to stay home for a while longer.

will be good to see you Bill if you can make it on 4 wheels 

[FloridaValkRyder]

Weather is still looking good for Sunday, beautiful actually, cool start and mid 70's by mid afternoon. Hope y'all can make this ride.

Not looking good for me 

My wife is flying back tomorrow at 1pm and got to pick her up at the airport.

My son and daughter are both working so no help there.

Still trying to figure out a way I can make this happen, any ideas?

You think it will be too much if I ask her to wait for me at the airport for 5 hours or so?

Not giving up yet but slim chance I am going to be able to make it.


On another note, I will be riding to Frostproof tomorrow for the "Orange Blossom Festival Classic Car Show", anyone planning on being there?

[billyboy]

Where in Frostproof? Maybe kinda looking.

Sorry Jeff, did not mean to highjack your thread.

I should have started a new thread.

I am still working on Sunday's ride, I have a master plan, it looks like it will work out.
I'll keep you posted.  

[FloridaValkRyder]

  Not a problem Jack. Sounds like a nice event. I just love old cars and such. I have to work today unfortunately. I hope you can make it on Sunday. Just don't get in the doghouse at home though...we know that has an unhappy outcome. You guys have a great ride today, I'll be with you in spirit!!

[larue]

unfortuately its not looking good for me tomorrow, things came up that couldnt be put off, i will be missing you guys. was looking forward to seeing everyone and especially Bill after the accident. Not rolling it out completely but just slim chance. Doug take some good pics as always please. enjoy everyone

[IamGCW]

Looking like I will be heading up there to join you guys.

Gil

[Tundra]

Jeff, I will have a small gift for you.

[Grumpy]

A little change of plans,Murphy cannot make it tomorrow. So after a real con job my wife is coming so I have a backup driver if I have trouble making the trip. So am still on, will see you all tomorrow. 

[Tundra]

Bill, my offer stands.
Just let me know tonight so I can call James III, my current plans are to ride up with him.

[John Schmidt]

[FloridaValkRyder]

Still shooting for 11 am Jack..but whatever time you make it is good. Glad your plans worked out!

Jeff, is Jim going to make it?

Not looking good for Jim John, he said he still has too much work to do tomorrow.

[FloridaValkRyder]

Any of you folks from the "Great White North" going to venture down tomorrow? Terry & Iris, Eddie & Kim, Bert & Sherri?

[Flrider]

What a great day it was.
I got to say that this is a great bunch of people.
Met some more of you today and look forward to sharing some more riding time and fellowship.

My first time at Lake Harris Hideaway and I liked it a lot.

Lots of bikes and we represented the Valk quite well.


Here is to the Florida bunch 

When is the next one? 

[IamGCW]

Made it back to NPR.  Great time, new faces and familiar faces.  Billy got us there a few minutes late, but we wandered through the countryside enjoying the day. 

The next meet I know of is at Jerry and Sherrie's in Z'hills.  April.  But the Daytona rally is almost here.  We are going to the Boss Hoss demo rides the 15th.
