Scooter Bob Posted February 21, 2010 #1 Posted February 21, 2010 I plan on leaving Wednesday Morning, and heading south through IL. I hope to meet DynoDon for lunch, and stay somewhere south of Champaign by dark that night. Hope to get somewhere near Memphis by Thursday night, and get to the Loozeeaner Meet and Wrench by Friday night. We'll see how the :snow:weather cooperates:cold:. If I fall a little short, I've got an offer from wes0778 to stay in Jackson, and head to the M&W Saturday morning. After the M&W, I want to get to Cocoa Beach by Monday night to see a Delta IV rocket launch. Tuesday I'll head up to Daytona to buy a t-shirt that says I was there and probably go camp out at the ABATE campground. From there I hope to head up the east coast for a few more states I've never been in, and head home from there. Anyone else on here go to Bike Week??? I'll be updating this thread as things progress. Later, Scooter Bob Oh ya, I've got to swing by Milwaukee and pick up Shari along the way.

Wish I had the bike and didn't have to work, I'd join you for sure.
IH Truck Guy Posted February 21, 2010 #3 Posted February 21, 2010 Oh ya, I've got to swing by Milwaukee and pick up Shari along the way. Geez,she's already sitting here wearing her chaps and snowmobile bibs... Ride safe my friend.I hope the weather gods take care of you on this trip..
Scooter Bob Posted February 21, 2010 Author #4 Posted February 21, 2010 Geez,she's already sitting here wearing her chaps and snowmobile bibs... Ride safe my friend.I hope the weather gods take care of you on this trip.. Oh man!!!, I was hoping for the bikini top.... Ya, the weather gods are the biggest concern.

Scooter Bob Posted February 21, 2010 Author #5 Posted February 21, 2010 Hey Dan, It's warm today. Can you guys go and get me a new scavenger hunt target for the trip??? Cuz I wanna play again.. Later, Scooter Bob:Venture:
Flyinfool Posted February 21, 2010 #6 Posted February 21, 2010 Gee Bob, That sounds like a great trip, I sure wish I could tag along. Unfortunately, there is no way I could get that much time off work and still have a job when I got back.
Danimal Posted February 21, 2010 #7 Posted February 21, 2010 All the cheeseheads know that Bob doesn't need good weather to make this trip! Just the time. Pick me up in Milwaukee and I'll wear the bikini! OK probably not but take me anyway please? Have fun and stay safe.
Gamecock Posted February 21, 2010 #8 Posted February 21, 2010 Sounds like an awesome trip! If you go to Savannah, GA check out Paula Deen's restaurant (The Lady and Son's). And if you get to Charleston, SC: See Wee Restaurant in Awendaw is out of this world. Myrtle Beach?......Drunkin Jack's in Murrell's Inlet. Have a blast! Ride safe! Ben
DragonRider Posted February 21, 2010 #9 Posted February 21, 2010 If you happen to get close to Atlanta, give a shout, if you need to crash, it can be arranged, the Dragon cave has extra tunnels........you can get my cell number on the VR assistance list.
IH Truck Guy Posted February 21, 2010 #10 Posted February 21, 2010 Pick me up in Milwaukee and I'll wear the bikini! . Dude,that is soooooooo wrong...:doh: :rotfl::rotfl: Shari say's she will pay top dollar for the pic of you in a bikini riding b***h with Scooter Bob. :crackup: I think Scooter Bob is going to need a sidecar for all the groupies.. Karen,I think your going to have to beat them off with a big stick.. Well,you guys hold down the fort.I got to head for Denver. c-ya

Just out of curiosity, when I get to planning how to get home, how well is your Dragon's Tail and other roads in that area taken care of in the winter? Or is something I should save for the summer? Later, Scooter Bob
Danimal Posted February 23, 2010 #12 Posted February 23, 2010 Shari don't have to pay a dime to see me in a bikini! I'd do it for... You know on second thought I'll take that top dollar. lol Bob be carefull and no pics means no trip! Help a brother out!
Scooter Bob Posted February 23, 2010 Author #13 Posted February 23, 2010 Snowed a couple inches for Monday morning, but most melted. Snow on the ground again this morning. Predicted snow and flurries for tomorrow also. Wish me luck just getting out of Fox Lake tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. May have to leave a little later in the day, and just get as far as I can. I'll keep you posted DynoDon. Later, Scooter Bob
RedRider Posted February 23, 2010 #14 Posted February 23, 2010 Just slip on the ice tires and go for it. Travel safely. RR

dynodon Posted February 23, 2010 #16 Posted February 23, 2010 Most roads are clear in Illinois right now, If you can get out of WI and IL, you should have it made till you get back home. Looks like near Rockford I-39 is patchy. Check out this site: http://wrc.gettingaroundillinois.com/winterroadconditions/ You have my number, I can meet up about anytime. I am hooking up my heated gloves and getting the toe warmers ready, will ride to meet you if roads permit. You have a CB? What channel will you be on?

There talking up to another inch of the white stuff tonight. I'll post right before I leave, whenever the roads clear, and give you a call when I get past Rockford. Looking forward to meeting up, Scooter Bob
eusa1 Posted February 23, 2010 #18 Posted February 23, 2010 the roads are clear from beloit wi. down to rt 80 in illinois as of today. mike
Scooter Bob Posted February 24, 2010 Author #19 Posted February 24, 2010 the roads are clear from beloit wi. down to rt 80 in illinois as of today. mike Thanks for the info Mike. And my plans have changed already, and I haven't even left home yet. The Rocket launch has been moved to Tuesday night now. Oh well. Later, Scooter Bob
Scooter Bob Posted February 24, 2010 Author #21 Posted February 24, 2010 tonight? No, next Tuesday, March 2. I had planned on leaving the Loozeaner Meet and Wrench Sunday morning and having 2 days to do about 750 miles to Cocoa Beach and find a place to camp before the Monday evening Launch. Guess I'll stay by Daytona somewhere Monday night and ride down there Tuesday, if they don't move it again. I'll wave to ya on the way down I-39 tomorrow, Scooter Bob
Squidley Posted February 24, 2010 #22 Posted February 24, 2010 Be safe Bob, spittin snow down here in Houston, but it's gonna warm up the rest of the week
Scooter Bob Posted February 24, 2010 Author #23 Posted February 24, 2010 Be safe Bob, spittin snow down here in Houston, but it's gonna warm up the rest of the week Oh, No, I'll bet I'm a lot safer up here on 2 wheels than most down there are on 4. See you Saturday Squidley, Scooter Bob
dynodon Posted February 24, 2010 #24 Posted February 24, 2010 Weather update from Central IL. We have snow on the ground, maybe 1/2 to an inch, and more coming down as of 7:30am. My clean driveway is white again. Temps in the teens. I imagine it is somewhat the same up in WI all the way to somewhere south of me.
Scooter Bob Posted February 24, 2010 Author #25 Posted February 24, 2010 The sun popped out a little around 10 am, so I shoveled the driveway and started getting ready to leave. About 11, it started snowing:cold: and blowing and drifting across the roads, so I have scrapped leaving for today. I hope I can get out right away in the morning, as it has finally stopped snowing, and the sun is coming out again. Later, Scooter Bob, At least I have beer and a good woman here. NOT
