I just wanted to say thanks to all that responded for a casual NNJ meet!

Its apparent that everyone has different schedules so let me post some possible times and everyone please write back and let us know which ones might work for you.

I realize that this weekend might be tough for some due to halloween, but lets try.......

This Friday night?

This Sat early for breakfast?

This Sunday early for breakfast?

Breakfast people please respond with the earliest time you could get your self over to the Bergen County, NNJ area...also if anyone has a suggestion we need a diner with a nice parking lot where we can meet. Possibly fortlee / englewood paramus areas so not far from the GW bridge for those traveling to meet us!
THIS WILL LEAVE EVERYONES DAY OPEN FOR FAMILY ETC...!!!

I lQQk forward to all your responses and meeting up soon!
Best regards,
Dave

Friday night may be too dark for people to travel. Sat/sun people are preparing for Halloween...HMMM,,, just really speaking for myself its not a good weekend for me, maybe the following or even the one after...

drdavidr4u
10/26/2004, 01:18 PM
Understood!

I knew its a tough weekend.

I have a condo renovation project I do weekends up in the catskills so after this weekend I will not be around much. But, who knows....

I'm still open to meeting anyone who wants to grab breakfast this Sat or Sun am in NNJ. Even a few memebers getting together to share VX would be fun!!!

Would love to come with VX....that is if someone can tell me how to check the trans fluid.

With trans light on after we just got er, I gotta at least know that's OK.

I'd love to come and see everyone's VX's again, but I work all day Sat and early Sunday morning (till 9a) and then church till about 11:30ish. Any way we can do a Sunday afternoon? I can't do this week though (ripping out my entire ceiling this weekend -- fun fun fun!) If you guys do get together, be sure to post pics!

Its nice to see the response we got!

Seems like this weekend is not good for most.

Hey u NNJ guys...is there a night and a place with a well lit parking lot where we can meet some weeknight for food/drink/conversation and VX viewing?
I know its not as good as a daytime thing but....?

I'm available most nights at 8pm...anyone else?

NJVX

I will check around by me and see if there is a place that has a well lit parking lot. Possibly a diner or something like that...

Thanks,
Dave

Chrissepwoz
11/01/2004, 07:28 PM

11/03/2004, 01:29 PM
How is Tuesday night next week, meet at 8pm somewhere to yet be deceided in Paramus ?
Let us know who would show up!
Thanks

Chrissepwoz
11/03/2004, 01:42 PM
fine for me.

nyc #1 ironman
11/03/2004, 01:44 PM
I don't think a weeknight would go over well if your trying to get a big turn-out. Also, a night meet won't allow us to really see and apprieciate each others VX's..

drdavidr4u
11/03/2004, 02:47 PM
I know a night meet isnt ideal, but i'm away weekends and thought its better than not. Yes we'll get less VX's and the photo ops will be limited, but the good fod and conversation can make up for it. Maybe I should call it a mini-meet???!!!

OK we have 2 so far me and Chrissepwoz..barring bad weather lets schedule this in our books for This Tues 8 pm somewhere on rt 4 or rt 17! We just need to find a place to sit chat and eat with a well lit parking lot!

OK...anyone else game?

drdavidr4u
11/05/2004, 06:11 AM
Come on VX' ers !!!!!!

Anyone going to join me Tuesday night in NNJ?

drdavidr4u
11/08/2004, 09:26 AM
Anyone for this Tuesday night 8pm VX meet , drink and eat in NNJ?

11/08/2004, 11:59 AM
Where on 17 will you be?

drdavidr4u
11/08/2004, 02:56 PM
Rt 17 or Rt 4 would be great but no one has made a comitment to meet!
so.....?

zadam123
11/08/2004, 05:44 PM
Weeknights are hard for me since I have to be up at 5am. Im in for a weekend meet or even a friday night one.

If you guys go take some picks.

not happening tonight I guess?

nyc #1 ironman
11/09/2004, 01:19 PM
Weekend would be better, people are traveling for the meet and must take into considerartion that if we meet at 8, what time will we possibly get home after socializing and traveling, on top of getting up for work early the next morning, and also like i said previously, how can you appreciate anyones mods in the dark, and be able to take pics and post on the board,.,,, i'm excited about a meet, but it has to be a weekend so it will accomodate most members..

drdavidr4u
11/09/2004, 01:33 PM
Hi everyone!
Since no one has made a comitment to meet tonight I'm calling it off.
I am not avaiable weekends so someone else will have to organize a weekend meet.
If anyone in the future wants to meet some weekday evening just to eat and chat let me know. Of course it not the best time to see mods on the VX's but I thought food, drink and conversation would be just as much fun.
Best regards to all,
Dave:)

Hey Dave,
Did you guys drop the plans for meeting in Jersey? If you can come up with a definite date(before the white stuff starts flying)count me in. I can make the 4 hour drive down to Bergen but it would have to be weekend thing. thanks...John

drdavidr4u
11/18/2004, 04:43 AM
Hey John,
I am upstate NY weekends so not around for a meet. I had tried a local eveing meet but no one commited to it so ......someone else needs to take the ball and run with it on the weekend!
Dave:)

thebear54
11/18/2004, 04:47 AM
Dave,
So let's try for something around upstate NY instead. I'm only 1 hour N.E. of Albany, somewhere between Bennington and Rutland Vermont.
John

drdavidr4u
11/18/2004, 05:04 AM
John,
I'm in Liberty NY weekends renovating condos. That is actually more west than north. But I'd be up for a meet in that area. I'm 15 min from the Monticello Race track where they have installed video slots and soon to build a casino!
I could even invite everyone over to my complex for a sauna, steam, jacuzzi and swim in the indoor pool!
:D

thebear54
11/18/2004, 05:25 AM
Sounds like a good plan.. Let's see if we can shake some more VX's out of the trees for that. I'll need about a weeks notice to arrange a weekend off from my Retail management job...but that's easy to do.
Check out my site in the mean time:

Talk at you .John

OMG drdav , I was at Monticello raceway casino last Saturday. They did a great job up there. I wish I knew you were there we could have hooked up. Well, lets try this thing again guys,,,

drdavidr4u
11/18/2004, 06:18 PM
Hey nyc #1 ironman,

How soon might you be visiting the Monticello Racetrack again?
Was it a good enough time to get you up there again soon? Guess you didn't loose too many $$$$!!!!!

thebear54
11/18/2004, 06:27 PM
All right all you North-East VX drivers....Let's do a weekend Monticello,N.Y. thing before the snow flies. I'M IN
John:D :D :D :D :D

drdavidr4u
11/19/2004, 07:06 AM
Ok!!!
Maybe we have 3 VX's so far?
Any other takers?

Beavertractors
11/19/2004, 05:40 PM
:eek: Someone say gambling??I can be there in a hour :D ok I still need a weeks notice too..

thebear54
11/19/2004, 05:50 PM
Ok David...That sounds like we have four VXers ready to go to Monticello. HEY, ABOUT THE REST OF YOU OUT THERE?

OK, listen,,,,Francesco Rizzo is coming up Mid December, we will make it then and probably on sat or sun, this is final,,,lol..

thebear54
11/21/2004, 03:46 AM
That would be great....is he bringing his Ironman too?
John:D

nyc #1 ironman
11/21/2004, 05:33 PM
not sure, lets see if he responds,,,FRANKIEEEEE????

Francesco Rizzo
11/21/2004, 08:18 PM
wow, I only had to catch a flight to italy.. but now I need to make it for a VX meet.. I guess the pressure's on now.. Dec 19th is on a sunday, so that would be HOT if I manage to make a VX meet right before going away! I'll be 3 weeks without my ride.. & I just finished my latest project so I really want in on this... Get me VX'ed out in preperation for my period of withdrawal.

by the way, I will be an hour's drive from the Raceway, which makes it potentially very possible to fit in my week's visit of NY...

Just to mention though, I would be sqeezing it between a trans-atlantic flight, a 16 hour move back to NY and a Certified Flight Instructor checkride.... three kinda difficult and expensive events that can very easily get in the way... I'll have to keep updating if I can make it or not but I promise I'l be making an effort to attend!

thebear54
11/22/2004, 04:05 AM
WHEW------
That's a lot of activity for one weekend. Would be nice though to see three Ironman,one silver and a dragon all together in one place:p
I hope it can work out........John

nyc #1 ironman
11/22/2004, 07:49 AM
Wow, so we have a potential date !!! Now, is this location too far away for the guys who wanted to meet in Northern New Jersey?

drdavidr4u
11/22/2004, 08:33 AM
Hey guys...I'm back from the weekend!

Glad to see you all kept this thread active!

Seems like we almost have a crowd!

Its only a 90 min drive up to Monticello from NNJ and part of the way its 65mph which makes it more fun!

Lets keep talking

Dave:)

PS...anyone interested in buying a studio condo up there , great for vacations, great for investment...10 min from the Monticello Race track and the gambling!
