Re: East Coast Mini Rally at Mid Ohio 9-11 July
I expect to be at our Booth most all day Friday and Saturday. I know Rat and Oldewing have scouted a couple of local rides but we have not worked up a schedule. I will be there (at Oldewings house) tomorrow evening and we will try to formulate some kind of plan then based on the weather forecasts.

Re: East Coast Mini Rally at Mid Ohio 9-11 July
I looked through some videos on you-tube, and it looks like the event is huge. Wish I had a little pit-bike like a Honda 50cc to ride around the grounds...do a you-tube search under Vintage Days to see what I mean.
Is there a map that will show where the tent will be on the grounds? Any hints from folks that have been there would be appreciated.
Guessing it might be hard to get any sizable group together for day rides with all of the cool stuff to see at the event....gotta make the most of the ride in, in and out each day to your lodgings, and home I guess....

Re: East Coast Mini Rally at Mid Ohio 9-11 July
You need the pit bike just to see all of the swap meet let alone the entire event. It really takes two days to see everything. There is free transportation around the grounds though.

Re: East Coast Mini Rally at Mid Ohio 9-11 July
Whiskerfish, Looks like great weather this weekend in Mansfield. Highs about 80 Friday and Saturday. Chance of a shower Friday. I'll be riding the bike down Saturday morning. I decided not to take the truck in order to save the marriage! If I brought anything large home (like a new bike) I would be doghouse bound. (Not that I haven't been there before) Let me know if anyone will be coming through Toledo Saturday morning. Ernie

Re: East Coast Mini Rally at Mid Ohio 9-11 July
Well, I pulled into Perrysville, OH this afternoon. (about 30 min. NE of the track) I'm spending some time with family, but looking forward to the show. If any ride dates/times get settled it would be nice if they got posted here. It will be cool to meet a few new people. I need to find RAT and give him $$ for a t-shirt.
Do they have a booth map for the swap meet?

Remember if anybody spots an LTD manual we have a guy looking for one. I call dibs on a key fob.

Don't forget that Craig Vetter will be there and presenting an award for the best Vetter equiped GL1000. It may be Rodger's time for 15 minutes of fame.
