TyTass Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well, we're hovering around 50, plus or minus a couple, at the moment. A very nice showing. We'll get to see lots of folks again. We have half that number signed up for dinner. It would be really nice to sit down with more of you folks. It's a generous buffet menu with plenty of choices. So, if you haven't signed up and sent money (as described HERE), please do so at your earliest convenience. The deadline for dinner sign up is fast approaching. Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Question for the Jacksonville crowd........is anyone planning to trailer up to Dillard? Please shoot me a PM if you are. Link to comment
Tutor Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 OoPEZoO, Trailering a BMW??? yikes...that's worse than me having highway pegs on a GS isn't it?? :-? I'm leaving Sat and riding around the mtns lost (to find myself...go figure!! haha) for a few days before the START so I'm not trailering. Sorry dude. Link to comment
randy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well I trailer my BMW G450x almost every weekend, so I think your highway pegs are just fine. But alas, I am not coming from FL, so I am no help either :-) Link to comment
S.O.B. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Craig - you are probably right. Greiffster - bringing Four Roses...it'll keep Basil company. Link to comment

I'm leaving Sat and riding around the mtns lost (to find myself...go figure!! haha) for a few days before the START so I'm not trailering. Sorry dude. Uh.....no. Trailering a Buell S1. The seat is barely suited for 70 miles, let alone for the 700 mile trip home. I'm leaving the GS at home for this one. I'm potentially hauling along an RT motor than needs to find its way to Jacksonville. Just trying to find it a ride. Link to comment

The seat is barely suited for 70 miles, let alone for the 700 mile trip home. Todd ... Well, I'm trailering MY GSA. Why? Because Terri's rump can't stand even 450 miles on slab. It's so much more fun when she's not starting the first day of riding in the twisties stiff and sore. We all have deals we make to keep riding enjoyable for ourselves ... and/or others.

Ron-M Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Because of other fiscal responsibilities, I am out. See you guys in the Fall. Link to comment

marcopolo Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, Saturday I got new tires mounted and today I got new front wheel bearings and seals, so I must really be ready now. Link to comment
Endobob Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I departed DC yesterday morning and stayed in Atlanta, GA last night. Just arrived at my first stop in Destin, FL. I was in mild to moderate rain the first morning and moderate to heavy all afternoon. Today rain from Atlanta to GA/FL boarder - sun so far in FL! Depart Destin on Sunday for Orlando for 2 days with my Dad. Then the real purpose and fun part of the ride begins when I meet up with Bernie In Jacksonville, FL next Wednesday morning for his planned route from Jacksonville to Dillard to meet up with all of you for 3 days of fellowship, lies, and great riding!

Ron-M Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey Bob, What route you taking to Orlando Sunday? Link to comment
Endobob Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey Bob, What route you taking to Orlando Sunday? Probably the fastest unless the weather is good and you or other's from Florida have any suggestions of interesting roads on the way from Destin to Orlando. Sorry to hear you will not be at START - we will miss you! Link to comment
Ron-M Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Best and fastest is the interstate. Not to many other ways from your location. Link to comment
CWD Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey Bob, What route you taking to Orlando Sunday? Probably the fastest unless the weather is good and you or other's from Florida have any suggestions of interesting roads on the way from Destin to Orlando. Sorry to hear you will not be at START - we will miss you! I like riding 27 south out of Tallahasse through Perry, Chieftan, Williston to Ocala. Not as fast as the interstate, but you can make good time. All divided 4 lane highways and a lot less traffic. And more scenery, especially near the horse farms at the south end, near Ocala.

Bernie Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 New Laws for the Dragon Well, that isn't to bad, at least they didn't reduce the speed limit to 15 mph. I do hope they also enforce the speed limit on other vehicles then motorcycles. Link to comment
Foot Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I will be stopping at Tellico Grains Bakery for lunch on Thursday. I should be there around Noon. Anyone wants to meet me for lunch would be great. Alan Link to comment
SSTwin Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Out..... Business and family issues gonna keep me away this time. Sad to say, but I won't be able to make it. I just cancelled my room, so hopefully that will help out another member. Best wishes for a great, sunny and dry START to all. Will miss the great rides and even better company. FART, I hope.

markgoodrich Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm out. Drove to Dallas and back yesterday in the car, was in pain the whole way, been struggling with hamstring tendonitis and piriformis muscle (butt muscle) problems for couple months, went to the doc a couple weeks ago, his PT regimen hasn't helped.

markgoodrich Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Truly a PITA. Suzanne and I went out for about 2 1/5 hours today on the bike and confirmed it would be foolish to try to get to Dillard. Y'all take care of Chris and Randy for me. Randy will be okay on his own, but his brother needs a LOT of watching. Link to comment
RandyShields Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Our loss. It's good to catch up with you, but it is really Beth that we look forward to seeing on these trips. But we're sure you already knew that. Randy Link to comment
TyTass Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well that's unfortunate, Steve. Yeah, hope to see you at FART. Link to comment
TyTass Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well, we lost a few over the past several days. I believe this reflect current reality. Link to comment

greiffster Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Never mind the lighting strike yesterday that blew up a directv box, router, modem, receiver and my Epson projector. I still managed to get mostly ready for an early Wednesday departure. I've got a bit longer route that stops here on the way to Dillard. See everyone in GA. Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Leaving work at noon on Wednesday, heading to Raleigh NC where I will stay overnight with friends. Dillard on Thursday. Bike is as ready as it's going to be, with new shoes, sidestand, and a GPS that works. Link to comment
Burt Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm heading out tomorrow morning, and staying in Corbin, KY tomorrow night. That will only give me a little over 200 miles on Wednesday. Looking forward to it. Link to comment
papnan2 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'll be leaving early Wednesday morning for Start via the Blue Ridge Parkway Link to comment
marcopolo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Unfortunately, I have to cancel. My wife Katherine slipped on the wet Metro platform this morning and badly fractured her kneecap. She has surgery tomorrow. Craig, give my dinner place to someone if you can. Link to comment
