30 Year Anniversary

[Lucky]

P-Rex's 83 is getting around! lol

[h2olawyer]

I got his 2 83s and his 82.  That makes 6 Visions in the collection now. I know I can make one good 83 out of the parts and can get Tractor up & running again.  There's probably another 82 hiding somewhere in all that stuff, too.  Plus, lots of extra parts.  Three full fairings (complete), a Shark fairing, two good 83 tanks, a great 83 exhaust system, even a Supertrapp system!  I plan to keep one 83 and my original 82 - after swapping out some parts.  That means Tractor and most of an 83 will be available by early spring at the latest.

Enough to keep me out of trouble this winter!

I'd love to do a meet up for the 30th anniversary. (And if Lucky's going, I'm not staying here with MY vision   ;D ) My V, I'm sure, will be ready by then

[Lucky]

That's where we got your bike you know...

[Lucky]

Oh crap! which one do I bring??!!  Tourer obvously for the long ride, but Cafe is more fun?  They both deserve to go...

might have to rent a uhaul that can hold 2 bikes and switch off truck duty.... 

'course then there would be room for the microwave, PC & printer, flatscreen & minifridge.  boy i hate roughing it!!  8) 8)

Does anyone know what the dates are for 2012?

[QBS]

Not yet.

Any updates on this one?  I now have a  way to trailer my bike and would be able to attend depending on location

Barber Vintage Festival is Oct. 12 - 14 this year.

I doubt I can make it , but Id like to . I'm busting my butt to get our home paid off ($2500, to go )  This summer. Then I can budjet for stuff like that. Of course I will need to get someone to stay with my wife, while I gone.
I built a Tear drop trailer , last spring , so I  can pull the shell off  of the pick up and load at least one bike in there.

NY feels far away from OR lol. Not sure i could trust the ole girl to go that far yet...  We should all our locations on a Google map. Actually i bet i could just dump the forum location data or to one. I gotta get in contact with the admin here anyways.

[QBS]

Proton.  Barbers is in Leeds Alabama.  That's about 12 miles east of Birmingham.

I like the regional idea, I'd love to ride with the ONrov, but  realistically , I might make it to CA. Or maybe CO.

As best as I can tell, camping site reservations will start being taken in early July.  My research indicates that the best place for us is in section "upper D".  The sites there measure 40' X 20' and come with zero amenities, which is the same for all camping at Barber as best as I can tell.  Considering the size of the sites, I don't think each tenting attendee would need their own dedicated site.  Probably two (maybe three?) tent camps would fit on one "upper D" site.  However, due to the deployed size of my Time Out tent trailer, I will probably need a dedicated site.

Getting information on camping at Barber is not at all easy.  It takes some real telephonic sluething. I'll get and pass along more details as we get closer to the early July reservation date.  The wife and I are still committed to attendance.

Bump... interested to hear more thoughts/suggestions on this.
One big meet and ride location...?
Regional GTG's ?
Date(s)?

[QBS]

No more news to report at this time.  I plan on contacting my inside sources late in June for any and all new details, and will pass them on immediately.  Things will become much more active after that.

Barber's is still on as far as I'm concerned. I've put a deposit on an RV site. I haven't got the banner together for it or rented an RV yet because I've been traveling but I think I'll try to get the RV rented this week. I'll look at a track map and let everyone know where the site is located.

I'm riding from San Fran. to Vancouver, then across Canada to Vermont, leaving June 19 or 20. If anyone along the route would like to hook up and drink a few adult beverages just let me know.

Art, if and when you get close to Toronto let us know.  I am sure the OnRoV gang would like to meet up and do a few rides if possible.

[artbone]

Matter of fact, I'm planning to visit a guy I met last month on a motorcycle tour in Croatia who lives in Toronto. He's got a really nice old Triumph 650. I'm on my way to the Norton club's rally in Brandon VT. July 17-20. Send my your contact info and let's stay in touch.

I'm riding my "new' 83 Suzuki GS 1100E (which I will not have seen until I get to San Fran. next week) so I don't really know how reliable it will be. That's the reason I'm giving myself a month for the trip and not making any firm plans.

I'm going to be posting stuff about Barber's on the other thread so keep up with that.
