Location: eiwoh316 (John) has been gracious enough to host the event. Once you are confirmed, plesae PM him and he can provide you the address.

This will be a good opportunity to get together with some old friends as well as make some new ones. Fortunately, it has been a pretty mild winter so far but nontheless, the opportunities to have get togethers are pretty scarce while many of us hibernate till the Spring.

Also would like to talk a little bit about what events/activities are upcoming in 2012 and see what the interest level would be for attending.... (Wake the Dragon, WHMH meet, Route 26, Arthritis Foundation, Indy 200, etc...) If there are other events people want to discuss or have suggestions for, this would be a great opportunity to talk about them as well.

Special thanks to John for hosting and Steve (Popeye) for being kind enough to provide steaks for those that are attending :thumbup:

Still waiting to hear back. Either confirmation or what they can bring



PS...One disclaimer.. I know that this is without saying, but if you are not 21, don't think of this as a house party... you are not drinking... :nono: I probably didn't need to put this in here but I figured I better....just in case..

That's a very good idea.

Would be nice to get everyone together since the winter seems to drag on forever~

And it just started!

I'm willing to volunteer my home as a gathering place. I've been checking some websites, and other than the obvious Blue Jackets or OSU games, the only motorsport thing going on during Jan/Feb appears to be the AMA Hall of Fame displays on the east side. They do have one display of the Ohio made motorcycles still going on. Any ideas are welcome.

I am up for either... we can either see if a local restaurant has a private room that can handle xx number of people or we can do it at someones house... I would like to hear what other people are interested in doing..

Personally...I'd probably go down on Friday hang out with people on Friday...maybe go do something local on Saturday, do the dinner Saturday night and meet everyone for coffee at Panera on Sunday morning.... all depends on what people want to do though..


Looking to get more feedback from others.

Thanks! :hello:

You know I think this sounds like a great idea, and I will try to make whatever you arrange.

Unfortunately, I can do Friday nights, but not Saturdays/Sundays during the winter.

I'm up for meeting up, I'll take a day off if I need to.

Wow a whole weekend in columbus.. I dont know if I like it there that much.

We feed Mocky beer and Japanese food
