Anyone near Asheville?
Lets plan a bike night/ride.

nobody?

i'm near asheville....but plans for me dont' usually work. But it would be nice.

I want to make this at least a monthly event. So maybe work around scheduals

Ok i give up

It would be fun but we would have to find few ready to do it.

Yep, it would be. We can keep trying

I am in upstate South Carolina,bout 45 minutes away.I'd be willing to ride up a couple times a month.
Bike will be going down soon for upgrades.Doing it all myself.Gotta love ebay for parts hunting. 

Maybe we should make it a Western Carolinas division meet.

How about alternating the meets between Ashville and Greenville.

Now thats a great idea!!! I love riding down to Greenville. Im really wanting to check out downtown. I usually go out to Haywood mall.
What you all think.

Hey roosterbike.I think a Greenville/Asheville rotation could be a good thing.Get the people down here worked up and have them come up to Asheville.Visit the Grove Park Inn if you ever go to Ashville,North Carolina.Better yet stay the night,it's beautifull.Then ever one can come to Greenville/South Carolina for a gathering.

Profitable.Say we have a gathering at a local high school parking lot.You ask some local vendors to set up.You charge a fee for their space to set up displays and sale.You make a deal with the school to donate a percentage to help fund their after school programs.The person who cordinates takes the rest.Usually people who do this donate 70% of the money made to the school and ask the vendors to contribute if they can.This helps the kids,school,local economy,vendors to sell products,and a place for people to meet like minded people.How da ya think NOPI and SEMA got started?Not hard to do,just takes at least 6 months of planning.You can get vendors to offer prizes.Ask people who want to display there bike(s) to pay a set up fee.Use some of your percentage to offer trophies and prizes.You can ask people who are planning to come to fill out a simple visitors form before they come.This way you know how many people to expect,and estimate how much money you may possibly bring in.We just had a car show in Inman where I live.Brought in 300 local cars and a half million in sales.They shut down the town streets.This was the first car show they ever had.Next year they all ready have double that many cars registered.I know this is a annual thing,but hey we gotta do something to relax.A monthly meet would be a great start.If anyone wants to plan an annual meet,let me know.I will help.

I've got more people coming with me, but it's looking weak on the GS side.

I think a group meet in or around ashville would be nice, I will be in if someone says when and where.

I would love to meet up with you guys.  there is a great place to eat in asheville called Mack Kells. it's a bar/restaurant. Usually has a bike nite, but we can always make our own. My roommate rides also, not a gs, but that's ok. Mon & tues. are not good for me, but any other nite is ok. Lets just start throwing out some days and people can say if they are in or out. Any suggestions to a day??

Personally for me the next 2 weekends are booked, but during the week is ok.

I work evenings through week.Weekends,through the day, are open if I have advanced warning.This weekend is good(16th & 17th june).Next,unsure.

I'm good on weekends this weekend might work, the next is my son's birthday so might not work out. The last weekend of this month is the Dragon meet so it's booked. Just to get it started we could do something this weekend or if  you guys want to what untill Heather can be there, I'll plan my sons's party Sat. or Sun. during the day. I'd rather meet in the day or early evening. You guys let me know what works for you and I'll try to make it.

Scratch this.I am getting another frame to do my build on.Bike will not be down.Woooooo Hoooooooo

this sunday would be ok. i'm just going to be busy mainly fri nite and all day sat. let me know, i'm going to be in asheville helping a friend move some furniture....I hate to be the wuss of the group but if it's raining I would rather not be riding.  So, maybe closer to time we can check the weather & see if it's good. I will meet you guys, but I don't like riding in the rain, so I would drive my car....pray for sun.
