I'll be there for sure, see you there!

[Narflar]

I'll try.  Weather and schedule permitting.

OK, I'll be there. Riding the Triumph though.

Rain should hold off until late. Only TWC can't make up it's mind. WU and NWS both say rain late.

Son had to run down to NC this afternoon on a "mission" and says "Hello" but won't be back until Tuesday now. Bummer...

Where is Eugene?! 

[Curmudgeon]

OK, Sunday is Bikes-in-the-Bottom. Looks hot but dry at least until after 2 PM according to the NWS. I'll try to show by 10 AM unless it's scorching early. Anyone else coming?

I'll be there!

Getting some great riding in this summer. Man what a day to be riding on the twisties around Nellysford from Richmond. Devil's Backbone brewery run! Curmudgeon's Pantah-skinned 796 and 2x M1100 20th Anniversary (#93 and #119).

Thanks for posting! Maybe you should post the other local ride reports here from your other RVA Ducati group too.

Notifications were down for a month or more but DP appears to have fixed them. Try logging out and back in as well.

Houston's show is on SUNDAY. I'll probably arrive ~ 11 AM and stay a while if they give me a lawn chair.  Why don't you ride out again and see whether you can interest anyone? You KNOW the best riding is WEST from there anyway. My favorite ride is out Cosby Rd. west of Rt. 522 all the way to Cartersville. There are other loops across the river north of there. I usually do them during the week though when they are empty...

Just so I don't forget to post this later, Houston's Japanese and other makes show and Concours will be on Sunday, May 31st this year. Weather cooperating, I'll be there, so circle the date on your calendars now. No excuses for not giving adequate warning!  Attendance has been pretty good the last couple of years with lots of interesting bikes coming and going, not just the bikes on display. Wish that rider with the HRD/Vincent who dropped by Poe's last Sunday would come as he'd definitely win the European class and I could get some better snaps!

Thanks for the update, I even saw a flyer about this and still forgot.  Going on my calendar right now.

Good deal! Hopefully you'll have no household emergencies again.   Maybe even Eugene will make it and the weather will be kind. I'm fairly sure Scott will make it as long as he's got no conflicts. It did seem last year that people had ridden down from NoVA and up from Williamsburg/Newport News/Norfolk as well.

Huston has my son down for judging the concours again. He moved down to Augusta, GA in the fall but said he'd try to come up if he's not too busy or putting out fires. He knows I'll put him up and buy him a good meal. That's still 13 - 14 hours of driving as I did that run last month before The Masters when Augusta gridlocks for a week. TBD...

Just a reminder, the show is tomorrow, 5/31/15, 10AM - 3PM. 20% precipitation probablity. Scott is coming. I may drive the Defender over so as not to jinx the rest of you!

Just wanted to chime in here.  I am newer Monster owner here in RVA.  Picked up a second hand 01 M750 earlier this year.  Do you guys still get together?

Thanks,
