eazyduzzit Posted October 13, 2008 #1 Posted October 13, 2008 I'm new to this forum and I'm just curious how many active members are from my area. Knoxville, Tn. or surrounding areas.
Mariner Fan Posted October 13, 2008 #2 Posted October 13, 2008 Jim, Have you checked the Members List? You can break down the membership by state and see who lives nearby. Bob
Eck Posted October 13, 2008 #3 Posted October 13, 2008 I'm new to this forum and I'm just curious how many active members are from my area. Knoxville, Tn. or surrounding areas. Sorry easyduzzit, but I didnt know about you, or I would have emailed you to let you know my wife and I were in Knoxville Friday and Saturday night.. We went for a ride Friday, ended up in Knox.. then went for another ride Sat, and ended back in Knox, then left Sunday for home..(Huntsville, Al) We would have enjoyed meeting uo with you and having that favorite drink..
Squidley Posted October 13, 2008 #4 Posted October 13, 2008 Jim, I dont know if you have plans, but why dont you shoot across to Memphis on saturday and meet us for the St. Judes donation
eazyduzzit Posted October 13, 2008 Author #5 Posted October 13, 2008 Oh well it's just as well. I ended up having to work Saturday anyway. We have had some wonderful riding weather here the past week. You picked a good time to come.
6pak Posted October 13, 2008 #6 Posted October 13, 2008 Hey Easy, there's a couple of us that I know of, I'm out in Oliver Springs, and there's another guy in Oak Ridge. There's probably more, but I haven't met them yet. Any questions gimme a hollar. Joe:beer:
eazyduzzit Posted October 13, 2008 Author #7 Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks Trucker6pak. I may know the guy in Oak Ridge you're talking about. A friend of mine lives in Oak Ridge, he is the one who told me about this site. He goes by Mrod. I don't think he posts here very often.
RedRider Posted October 13, 2008 #8 Posted October 13, 2008 I'll be down ther in a couple of weeks (if I'm not snowed in up here). Anybody up for a M&E on Sunday evening Oct. 26th? I've got a meeting in Raleigh, NC on Wed/Thursday and thought I would come down and ride in the Smokys for a couple of days on the way there. RR
Nighthawk II Posted October 14, 2008 #9 Posted October 14, 2008 Hey Jim! Welcome to the neighborhood....I'm originally from K-Town but I live in Oneida now, That's just about 60 miles North of Knoxville on the Tn./Ky. state line. If you go through Oak Ridge to Oliver Springs then to Wartburg on Hwy62, you will then take 27 on up to Oneida. The old home place is in the Sutherland Ave. West High area. Where abouts do you call home? I belong to a Riding Club there, but I don't get to visit much account of my job. If you are looking for some good folks to ride with just come down to Beef-O-Brady's At Turkey Creek on a Wed Night. Just tell them that Bill sent you down and they will welcome you right in. There are some members who ride Ventures and R* amoung other brands, some are members here but don't visit the site as often as I do. If I can ever get sprung from this place maybe we can get together for an eye to eye. The colors are really coming out up here so you need to take a ride and check em out anyway. My # is on the assist. list so give a yell sometime.
ebat Posted October 14, 2008 #10 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm not sure how "surrounding" Nashville is to Knoxville but I made it over there a few times this past summer when we had some longer daylight hours. I'll give you a shout the next time I head over.
sgn Posted October 14, 2008 #11 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm from Kingsport - up I-81 to state line RandyA is from Johnson city
eazyduzzit Posted October 14, 2008 Author #12 Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks for all the response. I have several customers in Oneida. I sell truck parts at Kenworth. There are lots of log haulers up that way. It's good to know there are several East TN. folks here. Maybe I'll bump into you somewhere. Redrider give me a shout when your down this way. I'll meet up with you.
painterman67 Posted October 14, 2008 #13 Posted October 14, 2008 Hey redrider, drop a line when your getting into raliegh and maybe the wif eand I can arrange a little ride to meet new friends. Raliegh is only about an hour away from here. David I've got a meeting in Raleigh, NC on Wed/Thursday and thought I would come down and ride in the Smokys for a couple of days on the way there.
painterman67 Posted October 14, 2008 #14 Posted October 14, 2008 eazyduzzit, Why don't you try the ride to Memphis sat. I would love to go but 10 hours one way and I have to work the night before makes it impossible. Look up the meandog tribute ride to st. Judes. David
Dragonslayer Posted October 14, 2008 #15 Posted October 14, 2008 This summer I met a club member going by ESHenry at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming who said he was from the Knoxville area.
Venturous Randy Posted October 14, 2008 #16 Posted October 14, 2008 Yes, Johnson City here. We need to get together and have an east TN meet & eat. It may be getting a little late this year, but with as many as we got around here, it should be fun. RandyA

stroker ace Posted October 14, 2008 #19 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm also from Oliver Springs. I don't know anyone here. I've been riding along time but bought the venture back in July. Mike
hairman Posted October 14, 2008 #20 Posted October 14, 2008 The TN meet and eat sounds pretty good to me as long as it is early on a Sunday. I am about 1hour from Kingsport and 1 1/2 hours from Johnson City. I work Saturdays so it will be hard to do that day.
Guest Highway Posted October 15, 2008 #21 Posted October 15, 2008 Hey, born and rasied in South Knoxville. Now reside in Chattanooga. Visit often since both mine and wifes family are still there,
eazyduzzit Posted October 16, 2008 Author #22 Posted October 16, 2008 Chattanooga is a nice place. Karen & I enjoy coming down there every now and then just to bum around.
