Meeting ideas.

Post by Ringnalda »

Guys & Gals, Larry will be posting details for a summer meeting this year, but I wanted to throw something out for next year... Trying to be early for once.

HOW ABOUT HAVING A MEETING FOR ALL CBX
INTERESTED FOLKS AT THE 2017 MECUM VINTAGE
MOTORCYCLE AUCTION, IN LAS VEGAS, ON JANUARY 5, 2017.


THIS MEETING WOULD BE FOR ALL CBX ENTHUSIASTS.

HOW MANY WOULD BE INTERESTED TO GO TO AN EVENT LIKE THIS?

Oooh, a toughie for Canadian. Winter means transporting the bike with snow. Plus coming off Christmas holidays means extended Christmas leading to not much of a summer. A new year means business busy as well.

I hope Larry's announcement matches the time off I have this summer for a reunion followed by a bike tour through the Iowa and wyoming mountain range ;-)

Not in Jan for me.....Florida is to nice to give up that time of the year. If you want to do a Mega rally like the one we did on the 30th birthday of the CBX I would help do one for the 40th if you need help. It has to be close to int airport so people from other countries can come also you need bike for them.

All roads lead to Las Vegas.
My biggest fear is how many new bikes might follow me home. I have many friends that came home
with many new treasures this year.
Best,
Phil

Marysville Ohio

The new Honda Automotive plant is there. It is scenic and not TOO hard to access. Play our cards right and honda probably might even make it a massive event if you contact them. New home of the NSX after all...

Marysville sounds like a great idea, but not in January. Definitely a summer location.

Not sure Jan was talking about bringing bikes, could be wrong. Been going to the auction for the last 7-8 years and about half those years you could have ridden a bit, but still kind of chilly. Temps usually in 50s or maybe 60s. The venue is what is attractive there. Best and biggest bike auction in the world. If you like kicking the tires (literally) of some of the rarest and $$$ bikes in the world, then you'd like it. If not, then I guess it's just Las Vegas in January. It would be a great place for a Winter meeting though and has been posted as such for several years. The guys from the West coast a scant few driving hours away won't even show up. Just my pitch for a Winter Rally.

May I add to what Dave has just said. There were actually two first class motorcycle auctions going on for four days. Both Bonhams and Mecum.
I may not have made it this year but we were well represented by many of my close friends and they came home with some outstanding motorcycles.
I have been working on a couple of them already. I think I could find a way to get there, I would just need to leave my wallet at home :-)
I believe that Nils saw Daniel's new John Player Norton.
Very Best,
Phil

Just gotta be like me and prefer fixer-uppers. Saves money.... or you end up buying more... Still wouldn't mind going to see some of the rares and never know if I can get for cheap some bit of eccentricity!!

There are some real deals to be found there, some needing more work than others.
How about a 1966 Triumph TT Special, original, excellent condition for $7000.00
It is worth twice that all day long.
