I will be at Bike Week next year and would like to show some of my bikes. Who do I contact??? I would like to contact a VJMC member and show our bikes collectively. Is the VJMC having a booth at this event?? I could help man the booth and show bikes. Please email me: stevesearles [at] hotmail [dot] com Perfect, just the event I was looking for.

Steve -

You reply to the phone number in the original
posting - 407 831 4331 and ask for Lynne, or
contact Paul Franchina - Phone 407-880-1213.

Jerry Wood Auctions is involved and their
website - www.jwoodandcompany.com -
has information as well as Paul Franchina.

The event is sponsored by the VJMC and
the organization has the entire site, not
just a booth, for a whole day of Vintage
Japanese activities.

Hopefully, VJMC can put it all to use, with exhibitors,
rides, vendors, vintage Japanese motorcycle displays, etc.

ALL food concessions, for the Vintage Japanese
Day will be handled by Stetson University.

That is terrific news because it frees VJMC to focus
on motorcycles and their events only.

Plus, Stetson University, in Deland, Florida is just 21 miles West,
of Daytona Beach, on Route 92, and the 850,000 bikers who
will be in Daytona for the week. 850,000 motorcyclists!

It is a GREAT chance to have some of them ride over,
for at least part of the day, and see what VJMC is all about.
Because those folks are always looking for somewhere
to ride to - other than up and down the Daytona strip - it is a
tremendous opportunity.

Thanks for the info. I will call Paul. (Not a fan of Jerry Wood.) Bummer it is 21 miles away from the action. Too bad it isn't right at Daytona Beach somewhere but who am I to complain.

This is a great idea! Vintage Japanese Day
just 25 minutes from downtown Daytona Bike
Week 2008! Cool

And it isn't a "bummer" at all!

We stay on the Daytona strip, at the Days Inn On The Beach,
with our HOG Chapter and you would NEVER EVER want
to actually try to cram an auction and Japanese gathering in that
area. Way too crowded, with nearly a million bikers
and friends.

Having it 25 minutes West, gives us a place
to ride and to stretch out our bikes. Makes
total sense. Idling up and down the strip, is a drag
now.

28 years ago, when we first attended in 1979,
it was different.

Jim and I will be riding our new Road Kings
over for sure. And we really enjoy the
Jerry Wood auctions. We attended the
auction the last three years and they have
always been very professional.

Great Idea! Cool

See you there. I am thinking about taking the RD350. Smile

Stop by and see me on Wednesday. I will be working the VJMC booth and showing a bike or two. I believe the show and event are at Stenson University in Deland, Florida. Hey, Norm Smith is going to have a vintage ride that leaves at 9:30. Always a lot of fun with Norm. I can't wait! (Hmmmm, it is 2 degrees here in Michigan and 75 degrees in Florida. Point me south!)

Welcome, malc87. You will be an asset to our club and this forum. What bikes do you like and restore/ride?? I was one of the judges for the show, rode tail on the vintage ride, got interviewed on TV and got an autographed copy of a book that my bikes are featured in. It was one of the best days of my life!!! And.. of course, talked with many VJMC members who love the old vintage Jap classics. Found a friend Rich with a Kaw Z-1 and we went to the flat track races together. Bike Week was awesome for me. Here are some more pics of the day.
