Hi I need more info . where do everybody meet. mark

Mark,

There's not been a specific meeting place for Xers so far. Don't know if we could arrange that... there's so many bikes.

Just look around for other VTXs and their owners show up eventually.
Oh, and if you have a VTX Tee shirt, it helps us find each other.

And, yes, I'll be there with some friends after we have breakfast at the Silk City Diner.

[Darkman]

Anybody from the LV going to Ephrata? If so, let's pick a meeting place and ride out together.

[Steel Man]

I have a group of 4-5 guys/gals meeting at the Cycle Max Honda store on route 322 just west of route 82. Meeting at 9am. Anyone who wants to join us please just show up. Then we'll probably take the scenic route home from Ephrata.

[Bullett]

Hey Jim im riding up with Radar, so ill keep an eye out for ya C-ya bullett

Hey Darkman...assuming you read this tonight, I'm up for going. What time and where should we meet?

[Darkman]

Sent you a PM.

[BrettsX]

I was planning on going but my wife decided to take out a 95 Mustang with our minivan. So she needs a little tending to tomorrow.

[Darkman]

Was a great day at Ephrata First Sunday. Rode out with Green VTX. Saw a few X's there, but not many.

[wishmasterg]

It was a great day seeing all the different kinds of bikes. I spend hours there everytime I go.
I seen at least a dozen X's. Got to meet a couple X folks too, good people for sure.

[GreenVTX]

Thanks Darkman for leading the way and posting the pictures. Amazing number of bikes there today. Only saw one other X rider from the group although there were a number of VTXs parked there.

Some of those bike are incredible. I saw another green VTX that was totally tricked out and I think Darkman took a couple shots of it towards the end of his group of pictures.

Great day for a ride!

Brett, hope all is Ok with the wife. Sorry to hear about the mishap.

[eastPA]

Green saw you ride in but lost ya.
Saw Steve come and go too.
Butch, don't know how i missed you and Carol??
Watched the parade of bike for almost 2 hours and had lots of coffee too.

[wishmasterg]

I saw your bike there eastPa, also GreenVTX's bike.
Both look great......

[classicXman]

Shoulda joined you guys in Ephrata today. Took my wife out on her bike instead. She dropped hers, I dropped mine....aaargh! Minimal damage to us, but my poor mistress :cry: :cry: :cry:

OUCH! Look at the bright side, at least no one was hurt and now you have a reason to do some custom paint (I'm sure you like the paint job you have, i know i do. Too bad they didn't have two-tone last year :D )

[DavePA]

Sunday's Ephrata gathering was the biggest I've ever seen. I got there around 10 and had to park in the grass past the ball field and by the time I got off my bike and took off my gear, there were three more rows of bikes behind me. I heard other people saying this was the most people they'd ever seen there also.

I looked for Chuck, Chris, Bullet, Green, and George, but didn't see any of them. The place is so big that if you don't have a meeting place, the odds are you won't find them. Maybe we all need to meet at a place and time and then ride in together. Like at 10 at the Cloister Diner or wherever. I'd like to see everyone again. Maybe in September.

Green saw you ride in but lost ya.

eastPA,

Glad you got to see me! I was in and out pretty quick.
We arrived near 9 AM (I was with 2 H-Ds and a Suzuki Katana) and I had just enough time to get breakfast and get back home. I left by 9:30.

Saw a red (I think it was red) VTX on the way in on RT 322 (east) just before the RT 272 overpass. I rode up along side so he could see I was riding an X. We said "Hi" and rode into the parking. Didn't get to see him again.

If ya'll want to pick a meeting place, may I suggest we decide on a fixed place and time for each month. With as crowded as it gets, the earlier the better (within reason). I've never been to the Cloister Dinner. Does it have a big parking lot? Just my two cents.

[eastPA]

VTXlux - you were leavin' about the time Green was riding in.
I got talked fast out at the tree where people watch the traffic in and out.
Lots of good people to talk to and...see!
Actually saw the oldschool chopper ride in with a passenger. WOW
And the little guy on a minicycle chopper........

Ouch! Glad you and the wife are ok. Sorry about the mistress. What happened? I'm guessing the wife's bike went down and you jumped to help her and dropped yours.

Terry

Thanks. Yeah, that was basically it. Saw her go down and all I could think about was getting to her as quick as possible and I lost control. Oh well, we're both OK and the bikes can be fixed. C'est la vie!

[BrettsX]

Brett, hope all is Ok with the wife. Sorry to hear about the mishap.

Brett, thanks. Glad to hear your wife's ok as well. My wife t-boned someone a few years back with our mini-van--no fun :(

Looks like we turned this Ephrata thread into a crash and collision exchange :shock: . Sorry, all you Ephrata riders. I'm hoping to make the Sep 3 run so I'll have more to talk about than this unfortunate stuff.

Thanks for posting the pictures! I saw a bunch of VTX'x - at least 18, including mine.

Oddly, I didn't see anyone from this board other than Ed, who road up with our group...

I think that this past Sunday was about as attended as I have ever seen it... Weather was great too!

Thanks again for sharing the pictures!

[Steel Man]

Had a blast riding up with Terabytes and about 10 others, 5 of whom I never met before. What a day! Looking forward to early September.
