Those dates are correct.

If you join the VME, you'll get the exact dates.  Of course, if you don't own a vintage motorcycle -- there's no reason to join VME.

What, you missed it again?  VME's Isle of Vashon?  Nooooo?  Why?  Didn't know when the date was?  Where was it listed? 

For nearly two decades, VME has been hosting a fabulous poker run and event on Vashon Island every summer.  Known as the Isle of Vashon TT, the event has grown very popular over the years.  Unfortunately, Vashon Island hasn't gotten any bigger, so space is at a premium. 

VME has moved to no longer make the date public knowledge, aimed at keeping the crowd size manageable.  In an effort to keep the event going and keep the Vashon and King County authorities happy, VME only lists the date of the Vashon event in its newsletter 1-2 months beforehand.  Now, how does one get the newsletter?  Ohhhh, that's simple, you need to become a VME member.  As former president, Jim O'Keefe once informed me, "You don't need to have an old bike to join the club, you just have to be enthusiastic about them."  So for about $25 a year you can join VME and receive the newsletter.  You'll also get to read the fine articles the club publishes each month.
Take care,
David

For not advertising it sure over loads the island with thousands of bikes for a day. Not sure what they're afraid of. More bikes?

this is about as close to a fer sure as you can get.
