Iowa | We did this last year and had about 8 bikes show up. A small start, but it's good to put faces to screen names. If I can get away from the AVR tent, I'll be there. |

| I'm in. Let's look at the AVR schedule and try to pick a time when it won't conflict with anything. I think there is a time slot for a social hangout. |

Kansas | Sounds good was also wondering if any groups were riding up? We are leaving Thursday from Kansas planning on using Hwy 75 from Topeka, due to parts of Interstate 29 still being shut down from flooding. However 75 is a rough, slow, boring ride (nothing but corn fields). We would be willing to travel some east or west to meet with some fellow riders. |

Iowa | The Knight of Columbus put on a killer breakfast at the Roof Garden at Arnolds Park. Buy your tickets at the Victory/VMC registration tent on Friday, or at the door Saturday morning. It's like $5.00 or $6.00 bucks. What's a good time? They are open 6:30 to 11am |

Where are you located? We might go to the AVR again..haven't really decided yet. It's only about 475 miles from here. We make it in one day easy. I'm in SW Missouri myself, about 70 miles from the Arkansas line and 16 miles from the Kansas line. Maybe we can ride together if the missus and I can get away to go the the AVR.
Lots of corn fields in Iowa and northern Missouri. Here, too.

Memphis | Looks like I won't make it afterall. I thought I had a sciatic nerve problem on my right side for the last couple of months, turns out it is degenerative osteoarthritis in my hip socket. Riding the bike is no problem, just afraid I will drop it after a couple of hours in the saddle and go to put my foot down. Scheduled to see a specialist on the 19th. I'll definitely be thinking about you guys during that appointment. Double disappointed because I planned 23 days off and was going up to the Great Northwest to meet some of the Washington/Vancouver crowd. 6,000 mile round trip cancelled. Getting old sucks. Hopefully will make it back next year (about 40 pounds lighter). |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Songfan, sorry to hear of your nerve problem . . . It would have been nice to see you again. ClearVision is not kidding about the killer breakfast that KofC puts on. I worked it last year and the whole hog sausage is to die for! I too have an appointment with Lloydz to get those new cams installed . . . Can't wait! Name the time and place and I'll be there! |

Memphis | Thanks guys. Makes me sick to miss it. Made some good friends last year and was looking forward to making many more on the big trip. VisionTex and I did the breakfast last year and it was great. I'll be hanging on every tidbit, so you guys that are going please post pics and updates! |

I am north of Springfield about 40 miles .
Which means you'll probably go west on 54 from Collins to Nevada, then north on 71. We could meet at Nevada if we go. I'm still thinking about it, but the missus and I have to be back here on the 21st, so we would have to head back Saturday. Prior family commitments. Are you still going up on the 17th? It's a one day ride.

Fountain Inn, SC United States | Earlier I mentioned 10am at Lloyd's dyno as a meeting place but then someone floated the idea of breakfast at 8am. That might be too early for some so how about we split the diff and meet at Lloyds dyno at 9am then walk over for breakfast?
I'll be the one with the Vision-Rider tshirt
