Mike Meeks (classic1) has been member, Nomad owner...for many years dating back to KawaNow days. Mike and wife Sheila attended most national and regional rally's over the past I would guess at least 10 years.
Mike passed away couple months ago. So, some of us were discussing planning a get-together and its now combined with memorial ride.

Mike Meek was a big contributor to and a part of the original group of KawaNOW. The backbone that started VBA. He and Sheila were only able to attend some of the regional rallies due to distance and or his health.
I’ve been a part of this group since those beginning days too and I guess I made the assumption most folks in our region knew him. Great guy.

Ah, that explains it. As a member of the NW group until 7 years ago I had no exposure to Mike. Never the less, my son Ric and I plan to attend as long as the state of the country doesn't interfere.

Mike was a great guy. If Cindy and I weren't riding to Utah that week we would be there with you guys. Mike really stepped up leading the rides at the southeast rally we attended. Hope you guys and ladies have a super time.

I just saw this. Very sorry to hear this. Crystal and I met Mike and Sheila in Lake George at the National Rally. Our sincere condolences to Sheila, family and friends.
