Re: Second Annual East Meets West V8 motorcycle rally

Speaking of "rooms", there's a V8 member who was interested in splitting a room with someone looking to save a few bucks. If anyone is wanting to share a room, I'll give you his contact info. Just send me a PM. Rain or shine, this will be a great get together. Last year was very 8-) and th...

Re: Second Annual East Meets West V8 motorcycle rally

Steve,

That scene I describe takes away "that lovin' feelin". Get me a hot shower, drink, dinner on the table, and hand me the remote so I can watch Mixed Martial Arts or Operation Repo. Yes, I'm a scum sucking male chauvinist pig and proud of it.

Ron,

How far from Miami to Conesville? Maybe we have to go to Miami next year and then haul ass to Conesville in time for that!

Re: Conesville

Ron, I don't remember as many fast bikes from last year's video. Maybe I just missed them or you didn't get as many on video. There was some serious looking hardware in this video. Looked like a lot of fun. Even a lot of the street bikes had air under the front tire and had some pretty good pilots. ...

Re: Second Annual East Meets West V8 motorcycle rally

Aldo, Do you hook up with Adrian & Tom? Is Dave (Squirm?) and Mike joining in? I envy a ride like that although I'd have no stomach for it anymore if there was rain. No problem with cold or hot, but rain...no good. Bobbing the rear fender looks pretty cool...until it's wet. The 300 rear tire kic...

Re: Ford 6.7

Tom, This is great news to me. In spite of 3 Chevy's in the driveway including one with a Duramax, I like the F Series Fords better to get the big job done. My Silverado is lifted and looks cool, but it's still a girl's truck to me compared to the FORD. My interior looks EXACTLY the same as a Tahoe ...

Buck, It seemed all the American mfgs screwed the pooch going from great to not-so-great with the diesels. My first was the 7.3 Ford. Sorry I ever sold it. They went to the 6.0 (yukkk) to the 6.4 (even more yukkk) and so everything since '01 has been worse not better. Chevy/GM, same thing. Everyone ...

On one of the V8Choppers no less! The trike looked awesome. Sure would like to see it blown up to about 8.5 x 11 so I could check out the headlight(s) a little better! :shock:

Good seeing those pics. Having just rode out there with David and crew, it was good seeing that scenery again. Hopefully, you made it to Tombstone or Brisbee. Both were awesome rides and good destinations. Have fun, ride safe...
