Well this topic has gotten quiet. Is anyone coming? We would like to know before we buy a bunch of meat!

RSVP please

[vistasign]

I plan to come with 3 more.

Are we comming with or without the kids? [smiley=Approve.gif]

[MaineToo]

I'm bringing my son. I think this should be a family affair.

[Screaminseaman]

 Congrats on the hookup with classic Maine! Unfortunatly I we be with muddbuggy cruisin ONF aswell.
I hope all goes well and we look forward to hearin from you after [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif] [smiley=Clap.gif]

Well, since the two guys that wanted this club the most and were the logical choices for officers of the club won't be there and there dosen't seem to be much interest I have contacted Frank and canceled. Too bad because I don't feel that I will be able to ask him again.

If anyone wants to give this a try in the future I have the by-laws and information from NOHVCC about how to start a club. Yours for the asking.

This should help to illustrate why so little happens when it comes to getting new OHV use areas and why the City of Northport, for example, won't have any problem closing ride areas. Three reasons; governent agencies that really can't be bothered. Bad press from stupid, useless deaths and injuries because of a lack of common sense. Lack of support for clubs that can create the needed momentum to change the perception the public has of us.

I was in Croom this past weekend and watched two idiot hot-rods DRAG RACE down the main road by day use area #2. A child was walking across the road and they went on each side of the kid at full throttle. We can all shake our heads as we see areas get closed and wonder why. Will Croom be next? If they had hit the kid it certianly would have given the state the upper hand to start that process.

Good luck!

C'mon MaineToo dont put the brakes on too soon we just have a schedule conflict, no big deal.  We just need to change the date  [smiley=BigSmile.gif]thats all. I still think there is a big interest in having a club locally.  If we build it they will come.  Check with Big Frank and see when would be a good date for all of us to get together at his place.  Preferably in about a month so everyone on here can make plans to attend.

I agree with muddbuggy. I'm all for a club, unfortunately I will be in ONF that weekend also.

[MaineToo]

I think 2 weeks is plenty of notice. When you get back call Frank and set up a new date if you like.

Trying to set up a date that works with everyone? That will never happen. But I would have thought that the people that were so gung-ho about this could have made it or at least wait to go riding until Saturday afternoon.

[rKyDeX]

Isn't Suzuki of Sarasota open on Sundays?.  Why not late on Sunday afternoon?

[PaulyV500]

There are plenty of people interested,  I think a new date
would be ok.  Frank is a great guy, and is very interested in this club.  I was at the shop on thursday and talked to him
about this and he was very excited. I have 4 guys that were planning on coming.  Don't be so quick to throw in the towel,
once we have a couple of meetings things will go alot smoother. There is no reason why you can't ask him for a new date.  I'm sure he will accomidate!!!!!

[Muddbuggy]

Don
I know all the work you have put into this club and it hasnt even launched yet. Thats why we cant give up so easily.
You and I need to communicate more,yes two weeks is enough notice but if I had of known that you where going to set the date for the 20th of march I would have told you me and a bunch of other guys on here were planning a Ocala trip that weekend.  The cabins have already been paid for in advance.

 Maine!  
      Are you serious?You called this off because of two people who cant make it? I hope your not going to give up that easy on other issues.C'mon man lets set a time,date,and place so we could get this show on the road.Either way were going to get this party started,i just think you need to be part of this.C'mon dude!

[biohazard]

move the date.  The 20th may be our spotlight in the Orlando Sentinel.  This could be a chance to highlight how far we must drive for the few areas left for us ATVers.  The more that show up, the better.  Remember, numbers are the only things that really matter to the politicians...so a decent report with photos of a bunch of properly attired riders may help our cause!

C'mon  MaineToo ARE WE GOING TO CHANGE THE DATE OR JUST LET IT DIE LIKE ALL THE OTHER GOOD IDEAS? [smiley=Angry.gif]

[john holmes]

Maine???

[Da_Mtg_Man]

If Maine is not going to reply then we can start one without him. I'm sorry but just because everyone can't make a certain date is no reason to just throw in the towel.
Is anyone else up for going forward with this with or without MaineToo.

[vistasign]

My 2 cents : I will come with 2 more minimum.

[MaineToo]

Sorry

I'm working on another date.

[Da_Mtg_Man]

Sorry

I'm working on another date.

Great, I am so glad that you are. I was hoping that you didn't call it quits.Kudos to you on all that you are doing, let me know if you need any help with anything prior to the first meeting.

[Muddbuggy]

Great job Maine I was hoping you would come around.
call me 724-6931   after the 20th of march I dont have anything planned.

[Muddbuggy]

Where did all the support go?  This is like a dead subject now [smiley=Disapprove.gif] [smiley=Cry.gif] [smiley=Disapprove.gif]

[vistasign]

We are all wating for the promised date ....

[MaineToo]

Maybe so Vista. But I agree with Kevin. All we have seen lately is the same 4 of us posting. Seems odd.

[Da_Mtg_Man]

I just scrolled back through and there are a good amount of people that are interested is this.Everyone is just waiting on a date. Any news yet? I think once a date is set then we will see this topic pick up again. Please advise asap.
