Rally ride: are you going to be there?

[Trip]

Who will not be at the rally by thursday night or early friday? I am trying to plan a long ride and would like to do it friday if everyone is going to be there. If it rains, we can push it back to saturday.

[the chi]

:lol: Double negative much?

Who will be there, who wont be there...

We'll be there Thursday morning sometime, staying at a hotel Wednesday night and hoping to get there early enough to get a good ride in Thursday. WHen you getting there?

[Trip]

:lol: Double negative much?

What are you talking about?

[Cruzergirl]

We'll be leaving P-cola on Wednesday, spending the night somewhere around Atlanta and taking the last slow ride into Copperhead by early afternoon Thursday.

...can't wait! :)

[tommymac]

I am shooting to do what we did last year minus the monsoon I rode through :lol:

Going to ride through the night and hope to get there kinda early thursday.

[Trip]

I think me and gman are suppose to roll in thursday afternoon or so depending on which route we take down there.

I am really looking for who will not be there on friday morning though, so I know who we would be leaving out.

[Phenix_Rider]

IF I'm not traveling, I want to get there Thursday night. It'll be real late though. Depending how fast they want to get me on a boat...

[Captain Morgan]

Seeing as how I've been informed that I'm going...I expect to be there late Thursday afternoon.

Don't worry about ebbs. Just cause his navigational skills suck and he gets lost so he has to ride twice as far doesn't make his the "longest trip" :lol:

[Full Throttle]

I think i may have the shortest trip lol. Only a little over an hour via Mapquest. Idk if anyone is closer but by bike i can be there in an hour lol.

[ericr]

I think i may have the shortest trip lol. Only a little over an hour via Mapquest. Idk if anyone is closer but by bike i can be there in an hour lol.

It'll take me about 2 hrs if I take the big roads, scenic route would be around 3 or so.


Oh, ETA....I will be there for the Fri ride Trip, since your topic asks who will be there though the post asks who wont be there... just sayin

[Gas Man]

What's your miles to knoxville? I'm 495miles via google.

[marko138]

I'm 1 billion miles...but I'm riding. Packing now, in fact. I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow.

[tommymac]

What's your miles to knoxville? I'm 495miles via google.

750 miles, it looks like youre just due south whereas i have ot travel west also. I think it was 8 something for me to get to copperhead.

[Amorok]

We're trailering in. I'm sick of getting rained on and my buddy's never done a long trip like that. Planning on getting there Wednesday or Thursday, depending on if we go hit Cheraholla on the way there or something. If you wanted to do that on Criday it would kick ass but anything will be fun, I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again and bringing up the rear.

[Riceaholic]

Actually me and None were the first two there and drinking beer waiting for you guys...

Nah, I'll be bringing up the rear. It's been 5 years since I've owned a bike so it's taking awhile to get back in the groove. I'll be the slowest mofo there and not the least bit worried about it.

[Mr Lefty]

Oh I'll be back there too. The DRZ is fun but slow.

[Trip]

Anakee's are money on the GS, absolute insanity. I can't wait for the weekend and test these out properly. I got the turn in of a sport bike now. Got use to riding those flat spotted deathwings, forgot what suitable tires felt like.

Would prolly go with the latter :lol: guess first thing once we get there is to organize a beer run ;)

Can't. I'll be starting BNCOC that weekend.

I won't have three cases just yet, only going to have a trunk. But it's big enough for two XL helmets, so it would hold some alcohol.

Yeah, i won't be doing too much drinking, either.

We're coming in a truck, picking up Sailor Jerry's and coke on the way. If you guys need beer let me know, we're stopping on the way in. We're leaving on the first.

Just ordered up some parts for the priller too. new plugs and brake pads, I gotta give the chain and sprockets a good look since they have been on there for a while. Then I am going to replace the front springs, a new set of tires (still have that rear on there I put on at TWO last year) and I have to get the rear brake lever back on with the new rearset I bought.

Sounds like a good man....if thats all he has in common with Tom.

Hope so for his sake :lol:

Nice on both counts. I rode the bmw sport tourer with the paralell twin motor at the demo and seemed like a nice bike. First time I realy got ot ride something that size.

[the chi]

Thats what he wanted when I first got him into it, then he fell in love with the Kawi Mean streak, but its not a great or comfortable ride. (It looks really uncomfortable just watching him ride it.) We found a killer deal on one in S. FL, but he's got to get rid of his current one first.

If we pass through the right part of Alabama and I can find it I'll pick up some Yeuingling (sp?) and I'll probably bring some Dead Guy. I'll be drinking rum and coke all week, gets me drunk faster with less calories.

I'll throw down cash for the fight, whatever everyone else has pledged I'll make up the difference, so plan on ordering it. My laptop has HDMI out as well but I'd rather watch it as it happens, plus I don't have a spare HDMI cable.

There is a small chance I might be coming solo. No way of knowing for a couple of days but if I get stuck that means I'm riding, not trailering, so I won't be bringing much in the way of beer, maybe just a six-pack of Dead Guy for Tommy. I'll post up when I know.
