Thinking of starting a Vintage Bike Club in SW VA area

I dont know how many on here are from the South West Virginia area. I live in the Bedford-Roanoke area. I would like to start some sort of Vintage Bike Club. It doesn't have to be strictly Honda,CB's,Japanese...or any particular make or model.Just vintage.

I dont really have any particular details or ideas. Just testing the waters to see who all is out there and what they would be interested in starting or participating in.

If you are interested or have any ideas whatsoever,holler at me.

Either here or feel free to email me. Just click on my user name here and it will direct you to a way to email me.             Thanks-Eric

Go for it!  The one I go to posts their nights on CL.  We average 30 - 50 bikes at any one time but about 100 total per night.  Key is location, location, location.  Pick a fun, well seen place.  Plus free drinks for the riders is a plus.  Good luck.

Ike,I am talking to a couple guys right now. Only one other guy is really interested in it. He told me about a camp ground about 1 hour from us that is bikes-only. They have an area for a fire pit surrounded by logs to sit on.Sounds like a cool place. I dont know what others are up to,but i think it would be cool to ride up,sleep in your tent and ride back the next day. I hope this takes off. We need something around here.
