Southern Indiana

[bad1800]

Is there any other people from Southern Indiana on here. It looks like a lot of the members are northern indiana. I am from right outside of Evansville,In?

[matchstick]

Im just south of Terre Haute here in Sullivan

[Hoovey]

I'm just east of you here in Santa Claus. Maybe we can get together for a ride sometime!!

[bad1800]

Sounds good to me. We ride around the Santa Claus area a lot. We come there dale and santa claus and circle back through Rockport. Makes for a pretty good ride.

[iuhoosier1992]

I am in Bloomington and would look forward to getting in on one of the Nashville rides, also would love to head down the Evansville way too.

[matchstick]

As soon as the weather breaks I plan to ride every weekend unless Iam working.

[bad1800]

I have a group of I guys I ride and we every weekend in the summer also. We need to all get together when the weather breaks and go on a ride.

Hey, I'm here in Corydon, just 20 miles west of Louisville, used to pass thru Booneville, home of those great racing shocks, on my way to Chandler to race. (dirt modified), raced at Sullivan speedway too. Weather permitting I'm out most everyday, and ride with a group, Freedom Cruisers, www.freedom-cruisers.org (http://www.freedom-cruisers.org) look me up

ask for warm weather from Santa for Christmas, it's too cold to ride today, but it is sunny. :roll:

[bad1800]

I dragreaced at chandler for a couple of years. Afco shocks are great. They are know offering them for 4 wheelers. No word on if they are going to offer them for motorcycles yet.

I'm from Borden, a little town 'bout halfway between Salem and New Albany. I have only had my 1300 C for about a month but I really like it. I have been riding MC's since my first one , a "Whizzer" motor bike since '56 (and I still have it) This VTX I believe is going to be my favorite bike, iot just "feels good"...looking forward to taking a few trips this summer and maybe taking in some of the local clubs rides......Merry Christmas to you...

[racer04]

You know 135 between Palmyra and Salem is closed, and to get to Salem we hafta go thru Borden, Pekin. Good ride out 150. We'll hafta meet up in the spring and do some riding. Good to hear from ya, and you'll love the VTX, it's a hoss.

[bluemac1800]

I am from Evansville and ride any time it gets above 45 degees. Lets get together for a ride sometime.

Sounds like a good idea to me .I'm the same way about riding I got out for about an hour today!!!

[Wirenut500]

Hi we are from New Albany and just got our 1800 R last Sept and are always looking for someone to ride with so if you guys want some company ever let us know and we will see if we can make it

[Hoovey]

Any of you southern Indiana riders planning on going to the Honda Homecoming for the Great VTX ride? If all goes as planned my son and I will be leaving on the morning of 7/28 and returning on the evening of 7/30. If anyone is interested in riding out together let me know.

[bluemac1800]

Hoovey,
We plan on being there, but we will be coming from the north. We would like to hookup with the southern IN riders. Have you made any plans as to were you are staying? We need to do some riding between now and then.

Gary,
Welcome to the VTX board I'm just north of you here in Santa Claus. Maybe us southern Indiana folks can get together this spring for a meet and greet!!
Ride Safe, Hoovey

[bad1800]

I got out on Saturday and made a nice 150 mile trip through Evansville into Mt. Vernon and around New Harmony. It was a pretty good ride. Did anybody else get out this weekend?

[Hoovey]

I didn't get to ride Saturday but I'm getting ready to take about a 30 min ride around home.
Mike

[rogcann]

Located on the Eastside of Evansville, always looking for other VTX's to ride with. Also will be at the Honda Homecoming.

[bad1800]

it would be nice to get out for a little bit today. But I don't get home from work until 6:30.

[bad1800]

I came across a poker run that is on may 22nd. I did not know if maybe some you fellow VTX riders would want to get together and ride in it.

[bluemac1800]

bad1800,
I printed the flier and posted it on my board. I try to ride for good causes like that. We need to get all the VTX'S in southern IN and get ourselves organized into some kind of club or something. We could get together on a certain night, weekly or monthly. Just and idea?

[fluff]

I know this is Southern Indiana, but that would be a nice ride, and I would enjoy meeting more people. Keep me posted. 8)

[bad1800]

That sounds good to me. I would not mind meeting with my fellow VTXers. Lets try and see what we can do.

[Hoovey]

bad1800
That ride is close to home, Hope I can make it. It would be a good chance for us to get together!!
Hoovey

[bad1800]

Last year the ride went up around your area then throught rockport. It would be a great chance for us to meet up.

[matchstick]

I wouldnt mind hooking up but if you all ride with us we will see you about every week anyway. 8)

[monty]

Hello all you southern and central Indiana folks. I was just surfing through your board and have a suggestion for you to organize a group to do regularly scheduled rides. Take a look at the Southern Cruisers Riding Club. Yep, a RIDING club and not a motorcycle club. It is open to all makes and models. Best part, no "formal" meetings and NO DUES. Go to www.southerncruisers.net (http://www.southerncruisers.net) to get a full understanding of the club.

I know there used to be a Louisville chapter but they suspended the chapter for lack of members and interest but I just saw a post on the national forum that someone may be interested in starting the chapter up again.

Just an option for you guys to have a reason to get together and ride more often. Feel free to email or PM me with any questions. I am the second officer of the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentuck Chapter #88.

Ride safe.

[Hoovey]

Any of you southern Indiana riders interested in riding down to Mammoth Cave on Saturday and hooking up with some other X riders from Ky. For lunch and a ride around the area?? If all goes well I will be meeting oboromikey in Owensboro and taking back roads down to Mammoth Cave area. That is if oboromikey can make it and the weather gives us a break!!

Hoovey

[Hoovey]

The Mammoth Cave ride for Sat was canceled due to the weather forecast and sunday the weather should be better for riding. Anyone interested in meeting at the Wendy's resturant in Ferdinand,In. at the 63 mm exit I-64 at noon Eastern Standard Time Sunday for a Ride!!! We will make our way to Tell City, eat at the Ponderosa then take SR66 through Cannelton,Derby and onto Leavenworth. I'll even take you by the famous "Shoe Tree". Let me know what you think!!

[rockport]

Looks like Bluemac, Hoovey, Me and my son are a stones throw away from each other......that would be 4 VTX's that could ride together. Any more near us in S. IN or KY?

By the way.......we are going to try and make the Ride with Hoovey this Sunday. Please try and get more VTX riders to join the ride.

Looks like I am a little late, but I'll check in anyway.

I ride out of Jasper in just about any direction. Day trips most weekends to Louisville, Evansville, Owensboro, Bloomington, or anywhere in between.

If somebody organizes a little group in the area, count me in.

[Hoovey]

spiked
welcome to the group if you are up for a long ride check out the post on the Meet and Greet points on the Indiana board some of us are heading over to Bloomington IL on sat April 30th for a big meet and greet. Alot of us will later be hooking up over at the VTX ride at Marysville, Ohio.

[Spiked]

I'll be in the Peoples Rebublic of Kaliforna on the 30th, but I already have plans to be at the Marysville ride. I am staying with friends in Louisville that Thu night and plan to come in early Friday morning.

Y'all got a meetin' place there... or a secret handshake... or somethin' ?

[Hoovey]

Any of you southern Indiana riders going to the meet and greet saturday May 7th in Illinois ????

[racer04]

group.
Ride safe

Hi Hoosiers, I'm planning a trip out to Kansas City next week...leaving from my home in Anderson. Since I've got 2 days to get out there I thought I might ride down to the Ohio river and then follow it out to St Louis and then cruise across the southern part of Missouri before heading north toward KC. I've never ridden along the river and I was wondering if it is worth the extra miles...is it a scenic ride or will I never even see the river? Any suggestions on routes? Frankp
