Hey guys, me and 2 others locally are looking to start a local VRA chapter (Vulcan Riders Assoc.). Not sure if any of you are out there…. but I would hate to miss a chance to meet any of you and even go on some good rides.
Go here
We are just getting started… so a good plus would be is to get in now where you can get your ideas and thoughts in to influence a club the way YOU like it.September 10, 2009 at 3:28 am #22268owlieParticipantGood luck! I hope you guys get to have lots of fun with it.

September 11, 2009 at 3:39 am #22295owlieParticipantSounds like a blast. Be sure to take some pictures. Are you guys getting fall colors yet, or is it still too early? The yellows up here this year are gorgeous.

September 19, 2009 at 10:09 am #22427MunchParticipantIt was gorgeous. 6 of us all total. 4 Vulcan 900’s and 2 Vulcan Nomads went. Couldn’t have asked for a better day to ride as it was partly cloudy the whole time, 85 degrees and low humidity. The first thing I was impressed with was that even though none of us had ever ridden together before we had some of the prettiest “Parade” formation in the intersections of the small towns we went through. Scenery was great, my only regret was that we didn’t stop all that often. I saw a lot of historical markers I would have liked to stop and read.
Couple of lessons learned though. One… I am getting me a drink holder for my handle bars so I can take a sip anytime I want. Long rides can leave you with a bad case of cotten mouth quickly. Two…. sun screen is definitely going in the saddle bags for rides longer then what I take to work. Got just a tad on the pink side on my face. Third….. my 900’s gas mileage almost doubles when staying under the 60 mph range. I am getting the scootworks pulley this Monday also.
All in all it was a great ride. Great people, beautiful bikes, scenery and weather. Best day off I have had in a long time.September 19, 2009 at 7:14 pm #22433owlieParticipantSounds like you had a great time. A little sunburn builds character.
Interesting note on the gas mileage. I haven’t ridden my bike enough to know, but there is a definite difference with my car.
