Vancouver Island Meet?

Westbeach · 05-02-2008, 08:53 PM

Just putting this out there to see if anyone on VI interested in getting together for a meet sometime in the summer months?

I'm located in Nanaimo, pretty central - and I got space for a meet if we want to have BBQ and some "beverages" or something I'd be happy to host it. I know some guys at Nanaimo Honda and they said they might even be interested in sponsoring an event.

Thoughts?

UPDATE: VI Meet will be held on June 21st 2008 at 3:00pm. That should give people from out of town time to make it to Nanaimo and not have to get up at the crack of dawn to start driving.

(Exact location information to follow)

Confirmed:

1. Harrison (Westbeach)
2. Richard (Tracer)
3. Darrell (HabaneroGuy)
4. Jon (Mikagami)
5. Byron (Guardcivic)
6. civic-type-r
7. kona_freeride1
8. Marc (marc-o-lishuz) *tentative*
9. Austin (TinoCivicSi)

Shoot me a PM if you're coming and I'll add you to the list so I can get an idea of how much food to get.

Also, if anyone is inclined in terms of photography it would be great to get some nice shots of our rides so feel free to bring cameras or whatever.

I'm already pumped!

If I come I would have a reason to visit my sister and her kids. Or if I visit my sister I would have a reason to come to the meet.

Westbeach · 05-02-2008, 10:45 PM

Both work bro - know anyone else that would be interested?

Where on the Island are you?

HabaneroGuy · 05-02-2008, 10:52 PM

I live in Abbotsford. On the biggest island that Canada is partly on.

Westbeach · 05-02-2008, 11:27 PM

Hah. True that.

Nice to see an Islander on the forums, I was beginning to think I was the only one. I'd probably be interested in seeing other people's rides. It just depends on the date.

Parksville, nice bud. We'll have to work out a date when if/when we get some more interest. I was thinking sometime in July though.

kona_freeride1@hotmail.co · 05-19-2008, 02:16 AM

I would be interested in coming out, mabie we could work out a nice drive to go with it?

Tracer · 05-19-2008, 02:19 PM

Ideally for me it would have to be on the 3rd saturday of the month or the first weekend of the month. Anywhere heading north or west and i'm game.

civic-type-r · 05-21-2008, 11:09 AM

Tracer · 05-21-2008, 10:25 PM

Haha your LX is more than welcome bro. The weather is getting really nice now so I think it we should get this going pretty quick. Does Nanaimo work for everyone? Like I said, we can have it at my place, go for a cruise, have some BBQ and beers when we get back.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking maybe the weekend of June 13th, Friday the 13th is always a good time for stuff like this. =)

I may be in Saskatoon that weekend. Then I will be back on the 19th. Then I would be coming to Nanaimo on the 20th. So the 21st would work for me.

HabaneroGuy · 05-26-2008, 08:40 PM

So tentatively it is up for June 21st? That is the weekend I will be out there(officially).

Tracer · 05-28-2008, 12:19 AM

That saturday should work out fine for me as well. I'll start saving up the money now so I can afford to fill up the fuel tank then.

Westbeach · 05-31-2008, 01:22 PM

Ok June 21st sounds like it's the best for most.

Spread the word around and I'll start getting the gear together. If you could PM me your name and info I'll start putting a list together, just so we have numbers and I know how much food to get from Costco!
