I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Comes in handy for gas and motels plus I'll be able to ride into Rick's driveway.The main reason I put it on was to snake us as far around Atlanta, Ga as we can get and still stay somewhat near a straight line to Florida.

I wonder if that post would fall under the "Incriminating or unnecessarily revealing posts" catagory?

It is just a double sided attitude adjustment tool.


Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

I'm pretty sure it falls under the " Don't bother me and I'll not bother you " catagory  :cooldude:

The main reason I put it on was to snake us as far around Atlanta, Ga as we can get and still stay somewhat near a straight line to Florida.

I've noodled all around west of Atlanta going to Cheaha, and always near the end you're
"too close to Atlanta"... East of Atlanta, past Stanley Steamer's house, duck down past I20
and it is probably country side all the way... probably not any kind of straight line for y'all though.

Yeah this weather has become a issue the original plan had us leaving early in the morning and just f***ing off all the way making a nice two day ride through the country.It's possible we would ride into severe weather with possible tornados if we roll too early in the morning.

Storm looks strong, but it apears to be moving fairly fast to the north east.

I didn't think the weather was going to stop you guys, when you three get together the good times will be had regardless of the weather, in fact it just makes it more of an adventure and makes for great story telling....have a safe trip and keep us posted on your ride to the sun so we can all enjoy it... :cooldude:

I've worked alot of tornado damage in my life but the closest I've ever been to one was on the way to " The Blue/Gray Ride " in Pa.....That should do me a lifetime for dealing with tornado's while ridin' my bike....We'll be hookin' up in the next month or two to scout the " June Ride " <<<<I'm just callin' it that till you come up with a cool ride name  :cooldude:

Joe what time are you coming through? Most of the time the HOV (bike friendly) lane on 75 South is your fastest option . With that HOV lane it can make a big difference.

Good luck and safe travels. If you need an overnight in Atl, I have a guest room for ya. You  have my cell. I need to work this week...

You all have a good ride to the sun my friend.  :cooldude: 8)

I just got off the phone with Wimp... they blasted off yesterday, rode until 8:00pm, hit some rain,
some snow (?), and two backups South of Atlanta, but they are near Macon now, and
will probably have a good and pleasant (50+ dry degrees) ride through the country side the
rest of the way there...

Thanks for the info, was wondering how they were doing.

Thanks Mike. I'm envious of 'em, but I'm glad to hear they got to roll!
Happy Holidays Brother!
Peace, Whiskey.

I'm glad to hear they got away.  I was watching the weather all day yesterday for their area.  It looked iffy but doable.

T-Bird

I talked to Flask a little while ago, and he was heading out to meet up with them to bring them on in. I wished I could have made that ride with them, but my hip is getting pretty bad fast. I go to the Doc on jan 30th about surgery. I hope to get it done & healed in time to make GOTF.

I wonder how you guys can touch the ground with "balls" that big ? What a ride that must be.. :cooldude:
