Gentlemen, this stately ride will provide us with an opportunity to parade our vintage, cafe, bobbed, and unique motorcycles, and demonstrate our sense of understated style. If you are planning on attending, dust off your posh frocks, tune your vintage bike, and lets bring a little class and levity to Central PA.

The date has been set (Sept. 27, 2015), the route and other details are in the works. We're looking at a 3ish hour tour with re-grouping points and a final stop for everyone to meet and socialize over the day's ride and our machines.

I have led the DC ride for 3 years. It is a special event. One day to declare, "we are not dirtbags"...

I've always thought these looked fun but haven't gotten around to participating.

This will be my first one. I was going to do Philly last year but it didn't happen. I contacted them about hosting one in Central PA. and here we are. Now if I can just get a few Guzzi riders to sign up.....

I wanted to register and ride here in Houston but we are traveling that day.

Looking for someone in Houston, or at least TEXAS to sponsor though. PM me if riding.

I've tried sponsoring Tip Paul but every time I get to the "payment options" - it doesn't proceed any further. I'll wait a few more days to try again. Can I be missing something? - THAT is a definite possibility.

I don't quite get the thing. What is the point? What are they trying to accomplish?

It all goes to the same place. If you can't find any Guzzitsi to sponsor in Texas there are some in Pennsylvania.....

Less than 48 hours until the start of the ride, looking forward to having a good time and meeting some new brothers in arms (motorcycles).

LowRyter · « **Reply #26 on:** September 25, 2015, 11:41:20 AM »

24 hours? Our ride SUnday afternoon?

Blueboarhound · « **Reply #27 on:** September 25, 2015, 12:55:26 PM »

Correction made, thanks LowRyter.

jas67 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 25, 2015, 07:56:59 PM »

It looks like rain for Sunday afternoon.

Is it too late to move it up to tomorrow?

Blueboarhound · « **Reply #29 on:** September 25, 2015, 10:36:17 PM »

Right now the Weather Channel is showing showers after 3pm for Harrisburg. If we depart at 9:45am as planned we should be back to LBC by noon for some socializing, bike admiring and telling of lies. From there everyone can decide how long they want to stay based on their time to ride home vs. the weather. I'll be watching the weather forecast for any changes that would necessitate the rain date of Oct. 4th.
