    Where is this place?

    I wonder if it would be a nice ride from Vermont, I've always wanted to go down there.

    do they not have a good selection?

    I haven't been to one, but I've been wanting to go to one.

    I thought they had great deals at these things? Didn't you get your suit during an open house?

    Vansons has world renound quality, I think even if the jackets are 'old' they are far from shitty. The place is pretty big with a huge selection! Granted I've never shopped the clearence racks so bigred I'm sure is right. I'd like to check out the stunt show maybe...

    Wow, you're getting bitter in your old age.

    Vanson's shit is good if you have them custom made. Don't go looking for a sweet deal though. At the very least, you can probably catch a glimpse of the StarGirlz there. Not to mention, tons of squidly burnouts when people are leaving the parking lot. Good times.

    just bitter they have like 10 opens houses a year and never really have anything on sale...

    I bought my suit there last year for $450...thats sweet....but they have not added anything since then....thats what I mean

    the stunt show and burgers should be cool...lol I'll prolly end up going again

    just wish they'd make ti worth while....they suck you in calling it an open house..then when you dont find anything they sucker yuou into paying full price....bastards..lol

    I will be heading down, just not sure what day yet. Bigred is right the clearance rack is small and the same old stuff is on it, however they always have a couple of items that are really priced well, you just need to look for them. Then there is the free food...need I say more.

    I could be in for Sunday. I know it's a bit out of the way for most but at least it'll be some good riding to the pose event. Be at the VBC for a 10am departure, do a 1 hour loop around the VBC and head to Vanson from there. Vanson is in a shitty area so there's not much avoiding the super slab to get there, it'll probably be a 50/50 ride from the bean to Vanson but the little loop around the Bean may be worth while We should be at Vanson around 1pm or shortly after, just in time to miss the long line for lunch
    Any ideas?
