I know that a lot of the guys from work are going to attend this.

I think the sport bike community should represent also

I've gone the past two years and there hasn't been too many sportbikes. It would be nice to see more of our own kind out there. I know I felt a little out of place being surrounded by cruisers, but the ride is fun and enjoying. If you guys have the night off....come out and ride with us...you won't regret it =)

MsDaytona · Aug 24, 2004

Sounds good where do you guys wanna meet?

Gixxergrl26 · Aug 24, 2004

Sounds like a plan to me....only problem is....I still don't have a bike (after tech. training)...so, one of you, James or Kenny, needs to get Patrick to go =) He went last year, but it wasn't easy getting him to go...you know about his bad memory. Please!! :biggrinag

Question: What do the proceeds from the entry fee go towards, since 9-11 was so long ago? Trying to determine why this event is still being memorialized - not being negative.

MsDaytona · Aug 24, 2004

I have the same question...I'm gonna call them and see what exactly the proceeds go to. I'll let you know as soon as I know something. I'm still going to go either way 9/11 has effected my family in more ways then one...

MsDaytona · Aug 24, 2004

Ok I just called and they told me all proceeds are going to 2 different foundations. One is called Operation Warm Heart which the money goes to families of soldiers that have gone over seas or are still over there. And the second is called the Gold Shield Foundation which goes to the families of firefighter and police men that were lost in the attack.

I will keep my opinion to myself for the first 'cause' - I am a veteran.

The second - while I feel we definitely should support our fire and police personnel...WTF?! How long to people need to 'contribute' to the affected families before they start taking care of themselves??? Many millions were collected and dispersed during the first year alone, yet here we are...3 years later and they still need money?

Noting the most recent events - How about holding a rally for the freaking hurricane victims!

MsDaytona · Aug 24, 2004

The first foundation has already done things for members in my family so I'm riding either way.

oscarcolumbo · Aug 24, 2004

i'll be there, just let me know a time and a place!!

MsDaytona · Aug 24, 2004

Where are you guys in Tampa. Kinda trying to think of a central location for everybody.

Reckless01 · Aug 24, 2004

how about the steak & shake on 60 by limona?? that way we can grab a bite before we roll?? is that ok?

MsDaytona · Aug 24, 2004

Seeing as I don't know where limona is, are you talking about the Steak and Shake in Brandon near Auto Zone?

Gixxergrl26 · Aug 25, 2004

I'm up for it...just waiting on one thing

Otown929 · Aug 25, 2004

A BIKE?!

Reckless01 · Aug 25, 2004

thats the one Daytona

And Gixxergrl who are you? do i know ya?? you arent patric's ex are you?? maybe you can ride 2 up with one of the other guys....so are we all down??

question though...is it $30/person?? cause for that kina cheddar i can go to universal with my G/F ...i dont mind making donations but $60 to ride my bike seems a bit stiff

Gixxergrl26 · Aug 25, 2004

lol....you're good. I'm going to see if I can get him to go again first.

Yep....$30 a person...it's a lot, but it's worth it by the end of the night....promise =)
