My experience meeting the "WIVO's"

[Caps]

That stands for Wisconsin Illinois VTX Owners. I met them in Wisconsin Dells Friday night. I got there about 5pm after taking some really cool side roads to get there. There was probably about 25 of them. We walked to a couple bars on Mainstreet and they all got pretty smashed :lol: I had to take it easy because I had to leave early Sat. morning for a wedding. I still had a great time meeting them.

Here are some pictures:


This is Nitrousx in the middle. He has a prosthetic leg (He had it chromed :D ). His bike is set up with a electronic shifting system. Very cool guy.

This is his bike with a custom exhaust. Best sound I've heard so far. If you think the Vance & Hines sounds race carish this one blows it away.

This is Reaper in the middle. We all saw more of his rear end then we needed to that night :lol:

There was probably about 10 more bikes that were not in this picture

You don't need a 240 kit to have a cool bike. This has the Digger fender.

This is 2FS4LV's bike. Notice the struts - no shocks. Very sweet bike.

Here's a short video of everyone making some noise. I missed the first part when everyone was on the bikes reving them up, this is the tail end of it. CLICK ON PICTURE.

what a great time!!!

[Caps]

Thanks Git 'R Done. It was a pleasure.

Caps, it was so awesome you came to our little ride bro. I talked about our brother from Minnesota, and how cool it was he was willing to come out to see us, and hang out. You my friend are welcome anytime, even to my home bro. Wish I could have said good bye to you, I looked out my motel window, and seen you taking off, but just like Friday night, I didnt have much on, so I thought it would be wrong to run out in the lot to say good bye. Be safe bro, I liked the chrome helmet.

Great Pictures Thanks for sharing Caps & Git 'R Done.

I needed the wake up bro, there was still another day for me to be NAUGHTY! LOL. I really do mean it bro, you comming to the ride was very cool, my wife thought so to. I hope maybe you might hit the next one in spring, maybe stay the whole time, so get a chance to Xpireance a whole weekend with WIVOs. We do tend to have a good time when go out. :twisted:

It was great to meet you Lance. Thanks for making the ride. The wife and I were talking about making a journey up to Minnesota to return the favor and see what is up there. Probably won't be until spring. But please keep me informed on rides. We definitely want to ride up there to meet everyone. :D

[crux88]

Let me know! I'm interested in riding up there to meet everyone!

Yes, I like to dance with my wife. We have a great time dancing and I usually don't care who is around to see me. Although being drunk and not realizing I was dancing for 3 hours or more with no beverage at all during that time was good too! Made me sober up for the saturday ride.

That is the most important thing. Sobering up for the ride saturday. I don't and won't ride even with one drink of alcohol in me. But that is me!

You definately got yourself a good looking wife man. Wish mine would start riding too :(

She is also the VP and the 'real' boss, if ya know what I mean :wink: Here is a pic of Dru with our employees, Rob on the left and Matt on the right. I'm the photographer.

Guess that blows my chances of getting a job from you guys. :lol: I'm an A&P, but took a job outside the field a couple of years ago. I miss spinning wrenches :cry: Good luck to you and the little lady! I'd tell you my name, but being aviation is such a small world I'm sure you know it already :lol:
