Portland 2017 Roll Call

[Cocina_47]

Who's going to Portland this summer?

Only 6 weeks away, I am working to get my latest project finished before then!

I plan on being there. This is my second year. Still a rookie.

Now we are only about 3 weeks away! Totally psyched. I received my VMCA membership for 2017 in the mail last Tuesday. Has anyone else gotten their's?

I hope the weather is good and not too hot, but I'll settle for dry. LOL

I am now looking for someone to ride with from the Mississippi, Alabama, or Florida area as Herb Weeks will not be able to attend.  Mike 228-806-7670.

Carryall,  Need to convince Naomi Austin and her husband to come to the meet.. They live in St. Paul.  You could car pool!!! Naomi is working on restoring her Sportsman.  NJ Austin  on here.

Probably not this year but, I will make contact with them and maybe spark up a friendship of sorts and bring up the idea/possibility.  Thanks for the info.  You guys have fun and take pics of some of the unusual stuff if you would.  I took a long ride yesterday and went to the "armor park" for awhile.  Here's a pic of a 105mm howitzer there with the bike.

What's the date  this year?

Officially starts Thursday, 7/20,  but in reality it starts days earlier.  I will be there Tuesday evening, and I expect it will be in full swing by then.  The meet ends Monday, but most people are gone by Sunday afternoon.

Only 1 week to go before the official opening! Hope to see some of you there.

This was my bike the first time trailered up for the 4th this year.

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have checked in. My wife and I have been extremely busy with the ice cream and popcorn and kettle Korn events. We will not be attending Portland this year, but hope to be there next year. I still get the simplex out with the wagon and sell popcorn during parads and special events. There are still. A lot of plans for the bike, bit not enough time. My wife has spoken with Reese wife, and they are gonna try stopping by our ice cream shop on their way this year, so that will be nice to see them. Will miss seeing the rest of you guys. Hope you all have a good time and remember to take a lot of pics.
