Hey Smokinjoe, who is coming to the Fall Color Ride?

Duffy · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 14:45:15

Just curious, sound off here if you would.

I'll start. I know for sure of:

Duffy
Thumper

robin · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 14:58:30

Robin and Judy from NJ starting out in the cold, i hate the cold.

sugarbee · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 15:06:19

Beekeeper, Sugarbee, Magoo and Lori coming from the south.

I'm sure gonna miss Moonshine and Bird/Lee and Monte and all our Mississippi friends who can't make it this year

Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005 · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 15:11:39

I'm going by what Miss Reba has told me...We sold out The Phillips Motel except for ( 1 ) cottage. I've also had a Illinois rider to cancel his motel room ....I've got that room available if someone wants it you need to e-mail me and I'll take care of it. jojovols@comcast.net Looks like we picked a good weekend Duffy as far as fall colors go we will hit them at peak. Weather is looking decent for saturdays ride as well rain was at 70 % now its down to 30 %....

Fingers crossed for dry roads.

ChromeDome · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 15:17:12

Just taking a round about way of getting there.

Duffy · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 15:27:50

Yep, forecast looking better by the day Joe; well done.

Who are you bringing with you? Gordon, Al, others?

Looking forward to heading out of Atlanta Friday morning with Thumper. We are still deciding on a route. We plan to make a day of it Friday. Maybe the Cherohala or something else. We haven't seen Greasy Creek in a while...

Watch out for bears on the Dragon.

Normandog · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 15:31:53

I'll be there ! The past 2 yrs it has been during my trip to daytona bike week. This year I canceled my bike week trip to be with all the good folks of the VRCC . I can't wait to see & meet everyone.

Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005 · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 16:09:11

Maybe we could plan a hook-up in Tellico Plains on friday and cross The Cherohala Skyline into Robbinsville, North Carolina as a group $:-\$ . I'll know more after talking with Normandog, ChromeDome , Lucky 13 and Big Al.

I think I resemble that remark.

Detn8er · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 19:52:14

Cat herding ain't so tough. It's just that very few real men are willing to do it.....

Probie (Scooter57) · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 19:53:09

Dagnabit Paul, I was going cut a deal with you.... For a quick lap around Robbinsville on the KLR I was going to allow you to stand near Boomer and Gaze upon her beauty.

And EEEEEEEK quick make another Post you have an evil scary number going on there.

Demo · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 20:16:04

Duffy, Thumper

Mike (AKA, "Son of Sam") and I will definitely be there but staying at the San-Ran. I had told Paul to plan on one or both of us heading up with you guys on Friday morning. As it looks right now, however, I might not be able to get away until the afternoon because of work. Doing my best to get free and will let you know within a day or so, I'd really like to make the ride up through Tellico Plains and the Cherohala Pkwy.

Ghost · Mon 12, Oct 2009, 20:52:08

I just got home from my trip to the Smokeys, Trip was cut short due to a death in the family. Grand father Of Nicky pass away this morning. So this also means no trip with Joe and all the rest. Sorry all, i really wanted to come back down for this one.

hubcapsc · Wed 14, Oct 2009, 07:42:14

I bolted on my shocks yesterday, put the front wheel back on, put fluid in front and rear brakes,
installed the starter and the center cover, it is starting to look like a motorcycle again. I'm pretty
sure I put my lean angle sensor back in upside down

... It is pouring rain, but I still
plan to be ready.

If the bike is not ready, I reckon I'll show up one night in Steamer's Kia...

SlowRoad · Wed 14, Oct 2009, 15:59:36

Wish I was going to be there. Really glad I am back at work, but can't really take off this soon after being rehired. I will make it one of these years.

Sure enough, I had screwed the bank angle sensor to the inside of the center cover upside
down... she starts up now... I'd rather get a root canal than take off that center cover again!
