Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

As some of your may be aware, the LaCrosse Gathering has a new administrator beginning this year. I am reposting her information for the 2020 Gathering so that all have the info to register for the new venue: Now that winter is winding down, it's time to think about riding in LaCrosse in June. We h...

For those coming in on Sunday please let me know so I can let Scott know the count. Rudys Bike Night will be Thursday June14th. Scott will hav...

Okay kids, its that time of year again :) Time to start your planning for the 2018 La Crosse Gathering. The room block should now be available (as it has been). Again a reminder, rooms must be booked DIRECTLY with Days Inn La Crosse, NOT the national reservation center. You must call 608-783-1000......

Is Dale AbEl the guy that always hung around with Marv with the green bike ? There are two guys out of Marvs shop with bright green bikes, Jay and Froggy - Dales was a little lighter shade of green and he was from Duluth, about 3 hours north of the Cities. His picture and stuff is on the Lacrosse G...

On behalf of the Boss Hoss/V8 family I want to thank all of you who could make Dale Ebels send off Friday. It was the most moving and difficult service I have ever attended. Dales brother, daughter Jessica, SIL Jaimie and Jay gave very moving and some very comical eulogies - shared some amazing memo...

Weather for the week is looking good. Mid to low 90's for the first half of the week - mid to low 80's for the end of the week. So far very little rain is forecast for entire week. The heavy construction is mostly complete in the area. East of the hotel there is some ramp work going on, west end is ...

Probably the last update until the rally - Sunday evening the 11th there will be a BBQ at Scott and Sara Paulsons house - this is a do not miss BBQ :) Time about 5pm and if you haven't been there I will be at the Days to lead a group up there. Friday night the 16th will be our dinner at the Freighth...

Just another update - the room block for LaCrosse will expire on the 15th - right now we have several nights that are fully booked.

Just a quick reminder - the room block for Lacrosse will expire on May 15th and room rates will go back to std rates.

Even if you are not sure about attendance you should book - cancellations can be made up to 24 hours prior to arrival with no penalty

The Pingle gives you approximately 1.5 gallons on a stock tank set -up with old style tank.

The hotel block is now available for the 2017 La Crosse Gathering. The dates this year are Sunday, June 11th through Saturday, June 17th. We will again be based at the Days Inn at La Crosse. As some of you are aware we looked at optional sites for the gathering after last year due to some issues wit...

Geez been off the Board for awhile - I heard this from someone today and got up here to read about it. Bummer for Ricky and his crew - for whatever reason it didn't work out, it is always hard for a dream not to go on. Obviously Ricky and crew came up with some awesome improvements and upgrades for ...

This is strictly for the individuals who visit Lacrosse so that we can update the dates- reservation information - rates - construction - etc

I want to keep the miscellaneous stuff and non Lacrosse stuff out of it

Okay - I created a new FB group called "La Crosse Gathering"
I added a few individuals when i made it, but not everyone - it is a closed group.We can use it to post photos and stuff and keep updates coming for future gatherings.

Made a quick cruise to LaCrosse today to make sure that Quillans has fresh 93 in the tanks - the construction at the exit #2 sucks - please be cautious

Probably our final update before the "Gathering" - we got the room update last night and we are doing really well - we have booked 90% of the rooms we blocked - a good number for sure. Do not have the campground count so it appears to be a good year. It appears 12 rooms are booked for Satu...

Just an FYI - the room block at the Days Inn has been released - there are a couple of nights that the hotel is full - any reservations made now might not get honored at the block rate or they may continue to honor it. It is their call at this point. If you are told the hotel is booked please contac...
