i try to stay out of the ran also, isn't the 17th fathersday, I'll have to stick with the kids all day. but I'll get in on the next one.

yeah, it is...may have to rethink that one. guess we will try again later.

It's pappy's day soon.I wonder how much grief the children will give me? 

Hey Guys and Gal, I am new to this but i would love to get in on a bike meet/ride. I am in the hickory NC area. my girlfriend's family lives in greenville sc so that would work as well. i work a swing schedule so its hard for me to plan things. i will have the next couple of weekends off though.

This weekends a no go I'm going to Pelzer to visit a friend saturday morning,evening I would like to try and meet up with some riders in Asheville.If anyone agrees to a place.Send me directions,and place, if we're planning a group meet saturday.

I'm in Asheville, near the river district.  Up for riding most days after 2pm.

any other suggestions as to when to meet up?? I know the GAP ride is this weekend, I'll be out of town the next...weekend after the 4th. Maybe the next weekend?? Around July 14th?? Any suggestions

I might be free on the 14th of July

i can go on the 14th after 3, or any time on the 15th.

I may be able to make it.

Im back, I want to get this "club" started. Ive been changing jobs, moving, and having heart problems. Now Im back and want to do this head on. Im working on a logo with the shape of the NC/SC states and a big GS in the middle. Any thoughts or goof offs. As far as meets, the first "official" meet will be in Asheville August (so we can plan ahead) 18th, at Brevard Road Ryans restaurant at 12:30 pm for lunch, meet and greet, attendance roster to be taken of charter members, and a ride. Pics will need to be taken. Anyone got a good digital?
Anyone want to plan a ride. Im gonna build a web site to show off the pics and club stuff. So whos in? Or do we need another date.
We also need a good club name, GS-riders Western Carolinas Division? GSWCD?
Lets allow other riders to attend, but let the core members be GS riders.
Let me know soon so I can make reservations.

Sounds good so far.I'd call it GS Rider's Carolina Division=GSRCD.It's a little shorter and cover both the carolinas in full.Most saturdays in aug are open right now.How about a shadow of a man on a motorcycle on the breast or pocket, and GS500 under it.Just a thought.

BTW Good luck with the job and moving.Take care of your heart and forget the rest.Get better soon.

Ben I like the idea, can you run with it? I got an idea for a shirt, Gonna have the image be a F series on the left and Naked on the right, with a rivited steel GS in the center. Under the GS in smaller letters put the GSRCD, plus something like western NC or Upstate SC. This would be on the back of the shirt and GSRCD on the front left breast. Im gonna start a new post to get names and RSVP, not really a resevation put just want to know how big of a place to get.

Kool,get the logos finalized,shirt amounts and sizes,colors and pm me.I need to print the logos and take them to Spartan Custom.You maybe able to just email them directly and get price quotes.I know they have a website and I know they will do just 1 shirt or 1000.The more that's ordered the less they cost.You can also ask them to keep the logos for future orders.I should be able to cover the cost of a 10 or 20 and make a $1 or $2 off them to purchase more.Or I can get a cost estimate and buyers can prepay and give their color and size(s).I can do paypal or money order.Anyone with ideas,please feel free to contribute.

We really should put GSTwins.com on the shirts in case someones curious,but afraid to ask.

We could put the GS twin.com on as a patch, like a Dupont, Bud, etc. do with racers, or i can have irons made and each person can do it at his/her choice. Lets get an idea with the first meeting at how many shirts, the maybe by the 2nd meet, when can have them ready.

Yea that way we'll know what our people prefer and may buy the shirts.It'd be great to spread the word around our areas and get more people envolved.

I'm good with having GSTwin.com on the shirts, if it wasn't for this place non of this would be happening.

I agree, i just talked with a guy who makes patches for other bike clubs. Depending on the size, we may be looking at 4.00-8.00 per patch. Im gonna have both a GSRCD and a GS Twin.com as patches for my leather vest and my ride jacket. Im gonna go sometime today to price the most basic shirt designs. GS Twin.com on front, GSRCD on back, maybe a photo of a naked and F series. or maybe have it where you can have the style you ride, or the generic with both. Ill post when I get back home later

Kool man.

Depending on the order, and the type of shirts Ben and I pick, cost of a basic shirt with GSTwin.com on left breast and GSRCD on back(name spelled out under the Bigger letters) is about 10-15 per shirt. Now my thought is to give a Road Captain shirt to the lead rep in each area, Ben in the Upstate, Me here, and etc. Thats for the ones who will be planning the rides, fuel stops, etc. We can do Road Captain as a patch. I say we take the shirt sales and any profit that can be made, we use to plan the next official meet. Signs,shirts,stickers, maybe even a catered lunch eventually. What say you Ben? Im gonna price a few other shirt people today, so ill keep hunting.
