Valk sighting:Red and White Valk Madison Al

[RDKLL]

Hey I saw a Red and White with 6-6 pipes headed wet on Madison Blvd about 7AM. I was on the Green and Black headed east.

[RedValk]

rode my red and white today....but i'm in Montgomery   

[RDKLL]

I thought of you and Chris CMJ, and I even reflected on my dearly departed Red and White. I have seen the bike I saw this morning several times, just the first time I posted

[RedValk]

slow road lives up in Northwest Bama...and has a red and white. Wonder if it could be him? Where is Madison? i want to say Tim/SlowRoad lives near Hartsel or somewhere like that?

TIM/SLOWROAD....sound off.......

Madison is just barely west of Huntsville.  If you pay attention in September, you may see a Blue/Silver cruising in and around.

we'll watch for ya'. I always like that blue/silver color. one of the few other colors ...besides the old red and white... i really liked. if you're down our way...give a holler....we ride just about every weekend down here in Montgomery....almost all year round.........

I am not too far from Madison, but wasn't me. I don't have 6 into 6 on mine either. I got packs and stacks. I have a buddy that lives close by with another red and white, but he also has packs and stacks.

I should be riding in to Huntsville on the 7th of Sept., and staying for business through the 15th.  I hope to get my weekends off, and hit the Smokies some.  If I can't, I'll be doing some more local riding after work.  Any local(ish) rides you can tell me about, or better yet, show me in person, I'd be happy to try them out.

That wouldn't be me.  I live in Houston, but am headed to Alabama for business travel periodically.  Got tired of the rental car last time, so I intend to ride up next month.

head over to Little River Canyon/DeSoto State Park. GREAT riding around the canyon and all around that area! Largest River Canyon East of the Mississippi.

There is also the Scenic Overlook Parkway that goes from Gadsden up to Chattanooga....riding on top of the low mountains. Very scenice.

But my first pick would be ride Little River Canyon Rim...........(Ft. Payne area)

I put on the Rune Rally....4-7 September. Will be heading back (from Erwin/Johnson City, TN) on the 7th. Be home a few days before packing up and heading out for CBR up in Indyaner'.....

You're the second person to recommend that.  I guess I'll have to do it.  (:

Is that different than the "Lookout Mountain Parkway"?  I found a "Scenic Highway" on the map, and they seem to follow similar but not identical routes.

We'll probably cross paths as you head south and I head north.
I'll be there through the 22nd, but probably can't get away for the CBR.  That would be cool, though.

[22Dasher]

I'm an hour and half north of Huntsville if anyone ever like to meetup and take a ride. My weekends mostly are open
Matter of fact I may be in Madison Tomorrow around 5ish

i'm with 22dasher.  i'd like the chance to meet up with some folks.  i'm in albertville, al.

[RDKLL]

My Sundays are usually free. Feel free to shoot me a pm or an email.

[Rocketman]

Anybody interested in riding in that area on the weekends or as a late afternoon/evening ride during the week from Sept 8 through 21?  If I can get the whole weekend, I'm going to hit the Smokies, but if I can't, I'll want to do lots of local(ish) riding.  My only caveat is that my work schedule while I'm there may be... fluid.
Email, PM, or post here would be fine to contact me.

yep....one and the same...and you need to do Little River Canyon for sure!   

[RedValk]

for all you Bama folks....BamaJack, Phyllis, Sherry and I ride often....all around Bama. Maybe we can hook up some weekend?

[Rocketman]

I've actually made it to Alabama!  Anyone interested in riding between now and Sept. 20?  I'm hoping to head to the Smokies this coming weekend, but haven't made solid plans.  Other than that, I'm hoping to catch some local afternoon rides in the area too.
PM, post, email, however.  Just holler.

Sent you an E-Mail with my Cell # I live just north of town and I'm available to help you with anything you need. There are a number of rides in the area. It looks like rain the rest of the week. Give me a call if I can help.

Thanks for the welcome, but I'm only here on a temporary basis.
I was considering joining ya'll on the CBR, but it looks like I have to work that weekend, certainly too much to get to Indiana and back.  Looks like mostly local riding for me this trip.

I may ride out another time I'm here on business, and I'll try to check in when I do, for any big events you've got going on.

You really do meet the nicest people on a Honda.  I met up with Santa yesterday evening.  Even though I had never met him before that day, he and his wife treated me like a long lost friend.  Invited me into their home, and even fed me, before heading off on some great little backroads up into Tennessee and back.  Thank you very much for the Alabama hospitality, with a Wisconsin touch.
