Bronxboy,
Did ya get a room?

Rams

10-4 I am booked at the Comfort Suites They said walking distance, or stumbling whichever

If I remember correctly, Ron doesn't drink. He can ride you bitch back. Might have to bungee you in though.

Bronxboy · Mon 29, Mar 2021, 15:21:33

Yeah I am pretty sure I can make it

Bronxboy · Mon 29, Mar 2021, 17:16:27

Yeah sounds good, just making light of the Stumbling

I am a social drinker and cigar smoker. Good to know that there is a liquor store close by

See u all soon.

Good evening Ron,
I was in Jackson today and rode down to Brookhaven. As I was exiting 55 south I look to the right and see a Honda distributor.

What caught my eye was a Red/Black tourer w/ trunk in the parking lot. So yes, I pulled off and made way to the parking lot. Nice really youngman inside said I just missed the owner as it was dropped off for service. $:-\$ Any one you know? I was hoping the owner was there to make sure he knew about MS Madness. I know it wasn't you or Charlie.

I wish I knew who that was but, honestly can't say I do. But, if you can give me the name of the dealership, I'll try to track him and any other Valkyrie rider down. I still believe you meet the nicest people on a Honda.

Rams

That is easy! It's Brookhaven Honda. Nice Red/Black Tourer as I stated w/ a off brand trunk. It had over 60k if I remember correctly

Good luck....

BTW, did I happen to mention there's a Class 6/Package/Liquor Store just around the corner. There's also a gas/convenience station on at the entrance to the hotel street and a Hooter's and an Outback just across the parking lot from the hotel for those who wish to get something to drink or eat.

This hotel was picked mostly due to it's location, adjacent options and the fact that they offered a better discount than the other options. All within ~~stumbling~~ walking distance.

Rams

Well done

DDT (12) · Tue 30, Mar 2021, 09:12:59

Ron,

Casting a broad net, I see... Clever, too! Ya never know what might show up as things unfold, so... Nice work by you and Keith! Last summer a couple of 'pick-up' 'non-Valk' riders wound-up as part of our motely crew at the Yooper thing, and our experience was the better for it!

I'm still very much looking forward to showing up and seeing what all I never could have anticipated will surely surface and delight us... You and the crew have done what appears to this observer to be a fabulous job of providing the rest of us with a near perfect excuse for another 'ride to adventure'. See y'all soon...

DDT

P.S. Probably a good idea NOT to inform the local fuzz honcho on the composition of the group... especially concerning a couple of the individuals included in that mix...

DDT (12) · Tue 30, Mar 2021, 13:06:28

Ron,

I called Nick and left a voicemail, then I called Wayne and confirmed OK-ness with him... All good, so just waiting to hear back from Nick. Thanks for looking out for all concerned!

DDT

DDT (12) · Tue 30, Mar 2021, 13:24:08

Ron,

Nick called me back... He's stuck with his room for a couple of reasons, primarily the fact it is non-refundable room he booked at the Comfort Suites... So, Wayne still has a 'vacancy'. I also called Wayne back, so both of them are aware of the situation, therefore... back to you, amigo...

DDT

Bronxboy · Tue 30, Mar 2021, 13:26:07

Just spoke to Bruce, yeah I had up until Noon today to cancel, so that ship sailed, but Thanks for trying.

Bronxboy,
Wayne Smith (Wingbot), just lost his roomie at the Red Lion if you would like to stay there instead of Comfort In .

Rams

Wingbot? Is that like a robot wing?

Chrisj CMA · Thu 01, Apr 2021, 07:19:08

Bike is all loaded and fueled. My important work that had to be done before leaving is DONE. Meeting three others for breakfast in the morning then we all ride together to Hattiesburg.

We should be there by 1400

Can't wait

.. · Thu 01, Apr 2021, 07:27:12

8.30 and it's brrrrrrrr 28F here in Maggie Valley.

I'm going to wait until 10 before leaving. Hopefully it will be around 32 by then

High of 35 expected here today

Daniel Meyer · Thu 01, Apr 2021, 07:30:00

Hope you folks have a great time!

Won't say who is was but, picked up some sun worshippers late last night and got asked when winter was over here. All I could do was smile.

Rams

Said sun worshippers let details leak on their social media.....

Ya'll have fun!

jojowing · Thu 01, Apr 2021, 10:02:47

Tom (wingman) and I are coming tomorrow. Be there by 6pm, staying at Red Lion. Add us to the confirmed list. Mac - thank you for ordering the great weather we are going to have!

f6gal · Thu 01, Apr 2021, 18:27:08

For those who have not arrived yet, you're missing this great meal served up by Alice (Rams' SU).

Mmm-mummmmm! Looks like like they broke the good stuff outta the storm cellar just for y'all. You'll be happy as the butcher's dogs after enjoying that delicacy!

I was jealous before I saw these great vittles. Now I'm downright green eyed!

f6john · Sat 03, Apr 2021, 07:07:23

I celebrated the first Mississippi Madness by wrenching on my bike. Pulling the rear wheel and punkin' for servicing. I'm sure the fellowship was awesome. Everyone be safe on the rides today and the return trips home.

So far, Connie (f6gal) is in second or third place. I'm not letting any other information out.

Rams

That's a lie right there! I've been lyin' my ass off!!
FYI, a true story with embellishments is still a lie!

Apparently, an apology is in order. Heard some complaints about the hotel. Will address with the manager and let him know why we won't be back.
There are always other options.

Rams

No apology required. No one could have known their maintenance staff was quarantined kindergartners. It was a fun trip and a good time was had by all. Anything said to the contrary is a lie and we know those were flying rampant. Lol

trout dude · Sun 04, Apr 2021, 14:51:48

Man what a great weekend Thanks to all involved who put on the ride in Hattisburg ms
Shelia and myself had a great time and it was nice as always to see everyone and make new friends
Shelia Bruce and myself are in the house in Mandeville Louisiana. Looking forward to the next one

Rams · Sun 04, Apr 2021, 16:35:21

Anyone get any pics?

Rams

trout dude · Sun 04, Apr 2021, 16:56:58

I would say yes but I would be lying

Great time even though we had to leave Sat. after ya'll took off for one of the rides. This was taken before Nick left on the 2nd ride out. ( Jeff=Chrisj / my friend David / Keith=Farside & Nick=Bronxboy)

Thanks for sharing Keith

Anybody have more pictures to share? Please show us what we missed and inspire others to attend these events. How many bikes/attendees from how many states?

Honestly, I was so busy Meeting and Greeting, I have no idea exactly how many came but, the first page gives an idea of who was coming. I'm guessing over 50 folks but, that's a guess. Pretty sure it' almost accurate on who came. There were a few local folks that showed up but weren't on that list. I'm not even sure I met everyone but, it was a grand time and based on the comments will most likely happen again next year.

Reference pictures, I saw a few on MeWe but, since I don't know how to post pics here, I didn't bother taking any. Besides that, this is a family forum and once seen, things can not be unseen (if you know what I mean).

Mike in AR · Tue 06, Apr 2021, 11:49:52

Rams, My brother (Arkybubba) and I had a great time, met with some old friends, and made some new ones. Saw some beautiful bikes, had some good food, and saw some amazing sights. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for a good meet, Mike in Ar.

I am glad you came and it was great meeting you. We'll try again next year if folks are interested.

Thanks for coming, enjoyed finally meeting you. A safe arrival back home is what we all look forward to. Stay safe and watch yer six.

Back in North West Arkansas now. Had a great time in Hattiesburg. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the sights. The food was not bad either.

Well now that you've joined in on the fun, what's the chances of seeing you at InZane? Hope you make it there. There you'll see about five or six times as many Valkyries and a whole lot of good folks.

Rams

Razorback · Tue 06, Apr 2021, 16:10:18

Chances are good. My birthday is in June and that sounds like a good time!

Farside · Fri 09, Apr 2021, 11:08:39

Ron, sure glad that MS Madness was last week, Great weather & time.

This weekend would of been a wash out.

I wish I could take credit for that but, Mac was in charge of weather. Apparently, he has some influence.

I don't believe I witnessed anyone getting the Raccoon. I saw a lot of folks eating BBQ'd something and several eating mudbugs (crawfish), some Shrimp, Ribs and several other dishes I'm not sure what they were. Could have been Coon for all I know. Next year you'll have to come on down and try it for yourself.

Looking at the Calendar, it's most likely to be scheduled for the weekend before Easter. So now, you've got plenty of time for planning.
