I just got off the phone with the Days Inn....only a few more spots left in our room block. They will hold these rooms only for a few more weeks before prices go up. Make your reservations while you can!!!

So here it is, end of February, and we're getting a bit of crappy weather. No complaints, though - the winter has been amazing for the warm temps and lack of snow!
Every once in a while, I check this thread out and get all fired up about going to Thunder again. To quote th immortal Flounder, in the movie "Animal House": "This is gonna be GREAT!"

I'm gonna try and make it this year. I won't know for sure until I find out my work schedule. Maybe I can hook up with the Michigan gang as they blast through Ohio on the way to PA.. Sounds like it might be a good time!

Its not a might, it always is a good time with all the folks there. You will meet some awesome folks and all kinds of bikes. We are planning a big dyno shootout for Friday afternoon too this year at the local Yamaha Dealership. Sure hope you can make it. I have been going to Thunder for years and never a dull moment for sure!

I had camped at Thunder a few years before going down with Trevor and the guys 2 years ago. The stop at Punxy was cool, and with the exception of riding the Roadstar instead of the Max - had a great time with the Maxxers. Gonna be better this year!

I'd really like to go, but I'm gonna have to see about work scheduling. With my old job getting time off was no problem and I'd be in for all 3 nights, but my new job I'll be starting in a couple weeks is going to be a lot more hours and I bet much more "rigid" with scheduling. Still, I'll see what I can do.
Google shows it's around 420 miles one-way for me. At Vmax highway cruise that's around 5-6 hours of riding excluding splash-n-dash stops. A good day's ride.
Steve, if you wanted to meet up at the NY-MA border or something we could ride down together. I'd probably take I-88 that runs SW down through NY, then get on 220 and ride that all the way to Johnstown. 220 is a nice "back road" that I know is a great drive, used to take it to Williamsport to visit the grandparents.
I can get free rooms at Hilton family hotels. I saw there's a Hampton Inn(which is a hilton) in both Somerset and in Johnstown. If someone wanted to go with me, I could get a room for free.

Does anyone know the event schedule? I'm planning on going either Friday and staying over till Saturday or going Saturday and leaving Sunday. What would be better? If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Also, If anyone knows if there's any rooms left with you guys at the Days inn let me know. Or I guess I'll call once I figure out what night is better to stay. What day has the most Vmax activities? I'm only about a hour and a half away so I have a lot of options even if the rooms are sold out. But I'd rather stay at least one night. Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed,
Check your PM's. The event schedule isnt complete as of yet, but all the main events are locked in. I would suggest coming up Friday morning and staying over for the Saturday events. Sunday really is departure day which nothing really happens unless your on your own. The schedule will be posted as soon as we lock in all our rides.
Looking forward to meeting everyone new and old!!!

Thanks for the update Bill. Looks like another good year will prevail even with the harsh economy. I will have the agenda ready to go online later this month once we finalize the rides.
