Topic: Did you attend a CVO GTG in 2010 and did you have fun? (Read 17952 times)

SBB · « **on:** December 25, 2010, 09:41:35 AM »

Was just thinking back on the CVO events of 2010 and was wondering (and hoping) everyone had as much fun as Nancy and I did.
Tell us about the event you attended and if you had fun.
For Nancy and I these events are some of our best CVO bike riding times we have.
Seeing old friends, making new friends and riding great roads, it doesn't get any better than that!
Tell us about the event you attended and show us pictures of your best memories from those events.

I had read his post and at Maggie valley got the chance to meet "Chains" and his wonderful wife.
And then there's Phil! What a character.
Good times, great bikes and fantastic roads!

Hi All,

We attended Maggie Valley. We trailered from Mason City, Ia to Martin, Tn to my son's house and stayed overnight. We dropped our dog off with him and then drove to MV the next day. We were only able tho stay Wed and Thurs because of baby shower for my son and daughter in law on Sat.

We went to ride by ourselves because we wanted to go to the Dragon and other areas. Our time was very limited, but we had a great time and met very nice people. We will be back.

On our way to Mesa, Az on Tuesday. We are trailering our cvo and will ride all of Jan and Feb. and will meet with other great people. We are also going to Barrett Jackson.

Talk to everyone later.

MV10 was as good if not better than my first, MV08. New friends, old friends, great ridin'......it doesn't get any better til I move to NC and then be able to do more than one event. Looking outside and waiting for the blizzard just sucks.

martys · « **Reply #29 on:** December 26, 2010, 09:44:37 AM »

MV10 was our first GTG and I gotta be honest with you I didn't know what to expect and was quite nervous about hangin' out with, and riding in a group with people I have never met before. Well, we pulled into the parking lot with the bike on the trailer and before we even got out of the truck four guys were walking over to see if they could give us a hand unloading.

They say your first impressions are usually right and I'm telling you I was impressed and felt welcomed. By the end of the four days I felt as though I had known everyone there for years and felt very sad that it was over. Riding all the hills and the "twisties" was a new experience for me and I absolutely loved it but we could have been on the straightest roads in the prairies and I would have had just as much fun because of the CVO family I was with. I can't thank the organizers enough for all the prep work that they do to make these GTG'ers fun for all their old friends and new, you have inspired me to start a conversation about organizing a "Canadian GTG here in Ontario in the next couple of years. Thanks to all the members on this fantastic site for allowing Diane and I into your CVO family and we wish you a happy and prosperous 2011.

We attended our 1st 2 GTG's this year NRG & MV10, NRG, AWESOME

Was able to put names with faces and meet a lot of new friends, Myself, Mrs. SERK3, Jasen (Boss Hogg) and Momma Hogg (this time) are just waiting for info for the next one.

MV10 was good we meet more new friends, the BBQ Dinner was great, We did not go on any of the planned rides because living in Knoxville those rides are what we have done just for a Sat./Sun afternoon ride. We did go on a ride with Chip & Nancy that was great and new roads for us, We left the H-D Dealership, went across Black Mtn. then thru Old Fort, N.C. and came out on I-26 East of Asheville, Maybe this should be a planned ride for MV11.

Bottom line we had a great time at both of the GTG's and hope to attend many many more.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have a very HAPPY NEW YEAR

MV10...Had a blast! Missed seeing my O'l roomy Dave (Gettinold), my amigo Jorge, Candy, Gary, and Don to name a few, but was a joy to meet some new folks. Paul and Sheri, Marty and Diane, Rick and Debbie, Brad and Val, GH, Grandpadoc & Greg from CA, TN, and my brother in Christ, Bob from Ohio to begin with. I love to stay close to my buddies Brian, Tommy, Bobby and AJ because I don't have to plan nothing except to laugh and enjoy myself. Tommy's cousin Tim always has the groceries and other needs. Chipster and Nancy, Otis, Hubbard, Kenny, Bubba and Jock lift me up just being around them. I enjoy the stories that fly when there around. So many wonderful people! Every one of you are wonderful! Hogbreath, didn't get to talk with you much, have to call me when you ride down to Rendezvous. There are many I didn't mention and I mean not to offend. Sitting out in front of the rooms after a wonderful day of riding and cutting up laughing so hard my cheeks and side would hurt. Paul and Greg cuttin up on the guitar and Paul slammin Crazy Joe as he makes up songs. Sitting at the campfire reeking of smoke. Seemed every time I moved, so did the smoke. Missed meeting Chappy and pray I will have another chance next year. Man I had so much fun! I about had a through the nose moment when I was drinking a beverage and AJ pulls up and we see this...

I enjoyed NRG and MV 2010. I wish my knee wasn't acting up during New River, but I still enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Susie came to Maggie Valley with me, ( Her first GTG, ) She enjoyed meeting everyone and is looking forward to the next GTG.
Thanks to all who made both trips enjoyable. Next year I will take pictures, as I got a new camera for Christmas!

Hope to make it to Tahoe this year, we'll see if it comes to pass.
Of course MV2011 is a must.

I made it to NRG and Maggie Valley 2010...both were great events, saw old friends, new ones and by the way the riding was great!!!!

Berries at both gatherings

....even met Gary

, I think, maybe his CVO CIA Double!!!!

Hope we all get together in 2011 on the East Coast!

I enjoyed NRG and MV 2010. I wish my knee wasn't acting up during New River, but I still enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Susie came to Maggie Valley with me, ( Her first GTG, ) She enjoyed meeting everyone and is looking forward to the next GTG.
Thanks to all who made both trips enjoyable. Next year I will take pictures, as I got a new camera for Christmas!
Hope to make it to Tahoe this year, we'll see if it comes to pass.

Mike are you blaming Susie for your knee hurting.

just a thought.

New River Gorge was my first. Was a newbie and welcomed. Rode solo when there due to some country I wanted to see. I'll never forget the ride home to Ohio on WV 16. Wow. Second was Maggie Valley. No longer a newbie and in with both feet. We rode hard (meaning good) for two days. Met lots of new people and had an absolute blast, including the Dragon. I'll never forget trip home, kickstand up at 5:30 a.m., riding through the mountains in the dark and seeing the sun come up from my Street Glide on the 10 hour trip home. I'm making plans for Tahoe.

I've ridden a lot solo. The GTG's break the solitude and add a bunch. The fellowship adds a special dimension. Great mix of people, all types and interests, bound by the CVO experience.

Not to be missed.

It's a good thing you brought Susie after her cleaning your bike and all

That was part of the deal. If she cleaned the bike, she got to go.

She didn't clean it before New River, besides someone has to work in the family!
I'm too busy being retired.

No, I am the cause of the bad knee. I did some electrical work and was working from a ladder for two days.
Too much pressure on the knee.

Yeah, I've got the big city traffic fear of DC going on big time.

I'd need a path-finder for sure.
