Flxible Owners is a group for people who love Flxible Busses. We welcome anyone who is interested in these fine buses. The group was formed to share information and musings about all things related to enjoying Flxible buses. Many of our members have restored or are restoring their coaches as private rolling homes (converted coaches) some prefer their buses stock.
You may also like to join and support the Flxible Owners International (FOI) which publishes six newsletters per year that provide helpful information and a classified section for buying or selling complete coaches or parts. You may visit the official "official" FOI web site here:

Additionally, as a courtesy, you will find a FOI application in our "files" section.
FOI members try to meet to show off and brag about their particular bus, be it Clipper - VL-100 - Hi Level - Flxliner - Starliner - City Bus - Flxette - Etc. Every even numbered year they meet in Loudonville, Ohio Birthplace of the venerable Flxible in the month of July or August. Winter usually finds them meeting in Arizona the week after the Super Bowl.
FOI's home coming is held at Loudonville Ohio. The 2008 rally dates are July 17, 18, 19, and 20th in Loudonville, OH
Our Members are always ready to help one another with information and ideas for all things Flxible.
Join the conversation; you are most welcome here...
