Susan and I will be there when the show opens at 3:00p Friday, as will Larry Zimmer. If all goes well, I'll have a few free passes to hand out.

Tentative dinner plan is Sulley's Irish Pub in Medina (117 West Liberty Street). Time is 6:00. I have a reservation for that time. They, nor any one else, will do reservations any later. They have a considerable selection of good food between $10 and $15. (Steak at $18.) Irish band at 8:00. We can discuss further Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I suggest that we be at the motel by 4:00, as Dave suggested, if we are to have a meeting on Saturday. The show, typically, doesn't take more than 4 - 5 hours to see.

If 'sports bar' type/Benigans menu/atmosphere is what the majority want, we can do that.

How many will we be on Saturday? There is still the possibility to do the Japanese Steak House (Hibachi Grill), if there is any interest. It would be a lot of fun and we can get a whole table (seats 18-20)

Since we're having the meeting Saturday afternoon at the the motel, we can vote on where to go. Both places sound pretty good.

As of now, Diane and I have to head east to State College tomorrow AM - for a reason I'll show you all Fri eve. Then a stop back home before heading to Cleveland. Should be at the hotel well in time to catch dinner with you all. I check in with Rick later in the day tomorrow. We'll plan on doing the market and brewery Saturday with everyone/whoever, then see the bike show Sunday before heading home (only 2 hrs away).

I guess I'll volunteer to be the contact person for incoming folks. My cell # is 513.284.6927.

I'll have that phone on me all weekend.

Hope to see a lot of old friends, and make some new ones as well.

Sorry for my late response to this. Meeting at 4pm on Saturday, Robby and I will be at the I-X center until close to that time. We can have the meeting inside the show area if everyone will be there, or at any other convenient location such as the hotel if more convenient. Then it's off to dinner!

Jan:
At least Diane and I and Bob and Cathy will be doing the show on Sunday and Rick and Susan on Friday, so the hotel would be the place to meet if you can swing it. 4 PM or so? Hope that works for you.

4:00p at the motel works for us as well. See ya then.

We're pulling out of here in a couple of hours......Whoo-Hoooo..

Well, it was a fun weekend, filled with some motorcycle things, good friends, good food, more friends, Saturday evening at Sully's Irish Pub with fellow CBXers....too bad it had to end.

The show was a bit disappointing, as it seems to be smaller this year. But it was still interesting, I bought a couple of items from Roadgear, talked to some folks from a motorcycle oriented campground on the south side of the Smokies, and visited with the fine folks from the Marlinton area in WV. Not to mention bumping into a couple of old antique motorcyle friends (Antique bikes as well as antique friends), and getting to try on some new bikes to see if my butt fits.

Seems like you guys made it back alright! It was good to see you again. It is always nice to meet in person on a more frequent base and not have to wait for summer.
Funny that I live in this area for 21 years now and have never been to Sully's before. Had lunch at the famous hot-dog place right next door, though.

I could not make it to the show on Sunday, Cindy still needed some support to get through her flu. I heard from other people that they were disappointed about the size of the show and what was there (and was not there).
Guess I didn't miss much. At least I was able to catch the last 6½ hours of the Daytona 24 hrs on Speed TV. This is the third year in a row that I did not make it, after the team I used to work with pulled out of DP.

As reported, a small BUT quality event. A good time was had.
