Vintage Motorcycle Days (VMD) 2011

Chris....It's funny you mention that...I arrived around 6:30 pm sunday at home...I was whipped. My girlfriend had dinner about done and we ate. I unloaded my clothes out of the tahoe and called it a night. The next day I felt so bad, I spent most of the day in bed. I made a run to Menards in the middle of the day and when I got home I had to go back to bed. I went to the doctor on tuesday and he told me I had sinus infection, ear infection and a small infection starting in my throat and was dehydrated. I felt similar to how I felt a couple summers ago when I came down with mono. I rested a good part of the day tuesday and antibiotics were begging to work. Back to work wednesday and worked 10 hours back in the heat. I have been running ever since then and my bikes are still in the trailer along with everything else in the trailer and the rest of the stuff in my Tahoe...I am just now beginning to feel a good bit better.....it took a lot out of me as well...probably the biggest factor is I have been working a lot of OT and my shop is very hot. Leading up to leaving for VMD I worked several straight days out in the garage after working long hours in the heat at work....I was nowhere near 100% when I left for VMD.....Now I am trying to play catch up....It is hell getting old

After going through my camera, I noticed that I never posted on our annual get together and have pics to post. As has been said, it was a fantastic time even with the heat and showers. I got the closest cabin this year and that's what I'll do from now on! I'll take it over a tent in a thunderstorm any day! It's great to hang out with such a fine group of guys! One of these days I'll get that trailor I want so bad......then I can bring my two low-mile ZL's.:notworthy:

Must have sat that one out but man, love angus and acdc. How the heck does he not have brain damage or a concussion after each song he plays?!?! Later.
 
I know what you mean - just thinking about headbanging now brings on a headache!
Nice to see the original line up again.
I loved their early stuff - and like a lot of the post Bon Scott stuff too.
 
Mark, That's funny... I was thinking about that place not that long ago as well!! It was loud as hell, and that guy was screaming like a Banshee..... I was thinking about the "shot of Cleavage" we got when the waitress took our order!!! Good times for sure!!

Geeze 1976 I was 10! LOL Oh and Scotty I remember the clevage well!! LOL Will always be one of my better memories from that trip!
 
Came across these two pictures when I was looking through the VMD gallery. I don't know if they've already been posted somewhere, but since they came out nice I thought I would upload here.

I just ordered my weekend pass for VMD this year, just a reminder that Friday May 3rd is the deadline for the discounted pricing this year. If you plan on going, save yourself $10 and get your tickets before Friday....
I tried calling the campground and got the answering machine, I know Furchin said they had been open so I will try calling back until they answer.
