Title: 2009 AMA VMD Display - Thanks!
Post by: Bickle on February 23, 2010, 07:45:44 am
Just wanted to say a word of thanks to all those that put this shindig together.

Finally getting to meet some members such as Steve Swan, Allan Landry, Mark, Marty, Andy Dixon, Chris Rushton, Tom Courtney, Kevin Dodge, Mark McGrew, Bo and all the others made this event more than memorable for me. All class acts!
For those that didn't attend, you missed some great examples of finely restored bikes.

The tent drew in a large number of people, more than any other that I was in.

I learned alot from fellow members, not to mention the invaluable seminar from Vic World.

Thanks for letting me put my "runner" alongside your pristine examples.
The hard work that you all put into this show was very evident and much appreciated by all.

Thank you Steve Frampton for your post. AND FOR BEING WITH US !

Addendum to Steve F's fine note - as well as giving daily seminars, Vic World spent much of his time under the tent with us.

IT WAS TRULY GREAT TO ALL BE TOGETHER.

Wow, AMA VMD was a really cool event.

Being our first Mid-Ohio trip and relatively new to the CB750- made for a fantastic opportunity. We learned about our CB750s. met lots of new friends and got to show off our bikes. Perhaps more than you could take in in just a couple days.

We were able to meet and learn from the experts. Bob Hanson, Bob Jameson and Vic World. All three.... friendly, approachable and nice people-thanks guys.

Judging from the many smiling Sandcast/K0 members under the big tent, I think Steve Swan is to be commended on his fine job!

The members brought beautiful examples of the Sandcast and K0 bikes. Nice folks every one! It was a pleasure to have been a part of The 40th anniversary CB 750-"THE KING OF MOTORCYCLES" (S. Honda)

Cheers,

Bob and Anna-my 9 y/o side kick!

Just a quick note to say what a great time I had. Well worth the trip over from England.
Great bikes, great people, amazing event. Hope to do it again some day (50 years?).
And I got to meet up with Bob Hansen, and Bob Jameson both of who played such a pivotal role in the birth of the CB750.
Steve Swan and the other guys who were instrumental in organisng the club's display, banners, and everything else deserve a special thanks - without them it would not of happened.

Cheers guys - Chris R.

Thanks Chris and everone else for your kind words.

But let me be clear, this event was a "we" event !!!!

Everyone's presence made the meet what it was and anyone who had not attended would have been a loss.

Agreed......... !!!! Let us have ongoing discussion for having a 50th Anniversary, somewhere, somehow, during 2019 !!!!
