barend Posted July 1, 2009 #1 Posted July 1, 2009 We're planning on leaving our house in Easley Sc about 1030 (128 Lakeshore Dr) and heading up to hendersonville, NC via 135, 11 and 25 then pick up 64W all the way to Dillard, Ga and return via 76 and 123, We'll stop along the way for lunch and anything else. So far 5 bikes, maybe one cage (depending on which bike I ride and how twistie the road looks). Anyone want to join us or meet up along the way feel free to shoot me a PM. Should be about a 190 mile, 4plus hour run. I just need to decide :scratchchin:if I want to ride a real bike or the Shadow:innocent:
Venturous Randy Posted July 2, 2009 #2 Posted July 2, 2009 I would love to meet you guys, but I will be getting things around here ready for Asheville. Are you going to be able to come up to Asheville for our extended meet and eat next week? RandyA
barend Posted July 2, 2009 Author #3 Posted July 2, 2009 Randy, Thinking about maybe coming up for Saturday dinner. Won't be able to make it a three day event. Actually wan to scope this route for a fall color run, let you know!
RandyR Posted July 2, 2009 #4 Posted July 2, 2009 Barend, Do you have the sidecar rig set up yet? Sounds like a good ride. I may join you along the way.
barend Posted July 2, 2009 Author #5 Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Nope! The car is ready for shipping and should be picked up about the 12th and should be here within ten days after that. Don't know how long it's going to take me to get it mounted, wired and painted. Brakes 'd be another story. Hate to add this but ... For the record: this subject is off the record when my wife's around, for now! Personal reasons!! she'd be driving the TT if she decides to follow us. Edited July 2, 2009 by barend
RandyR Posted July 3, 2009 #6 Posted July 3, 2009 Barend, I'll join you for the ride. After Dillard House I'll cut for home. See you at 10:30am. Randy R
barend Posted July 5, 2009 Author #7 Posted July 5, 2009 had a great ride today through the NC mountains (Piscah Nat'l Forest). Weather was great, traffic not too bad, company was Exceptional (thanks for joining us Randy!). all in all put right at 200 miles on the ododmeter, were out about 8 hours, stops included. Two of the bikes wound up taking a short cut to pacify the girlfriend, but what are you going to do. We'll have to do that again sometime, maybe with a bigger group?! Randy, we got home around 7 after a Starbucks stop. Hope you got home safe!
RandyR Posted July 5, 2009 #8 Posted July 5, 2009 Yep. It was great ride. Still nice and cool in the NC mountains. I got home at 6:20 via Lake Burton and Unicoi, the only stop was a huge traffic jam north of Helen GA. Usually the Unicoi route bypasses that. See y'all next weekend in Asheville for German food.
