My route back to San Antonio

[lonestarmedic]

Hi all,

I have decided to run a basic interstate route and then deviate as various things require investigation. I will be running I95 to I85 then I65 into Atlanta. From there I may go to Memphis then down through Dallas. Or I will go through New Orleans and then Houston. After the first day I should be confident enough of the bike to take side runs. I haven't ridden in about 4 years other than a short hop around town. And since the bike is somewhat unknown I feel a bit of caution is in order. (Downloaded the sidestand bypass directions!!) I will carry the VentureRider list just in case. If you are on the route, give a shout and I will try and add a stop to my ride. I am carrying a new digital camera and I ain't afraid to use it. My cell phone is 210-373-7333. Obviously no bluetooth in the helmet but I can check it at my butt breaks. Looking forward to meeting folks.

Have fun. I'd run south as soon as I could to keep warm. How many hours are going to run a day?

Look me up when you get home. Have a great trip. Your bike must be a twin to mine.. 88 VR cream and gold. We will see. Ride this area all the time and have never seen one like it. I hope you are taking the south route, a 10 degree temp difference could make all the difference.

Planning 400-500 per day depending on the butt-o-meter. I will swing south pretty fast. I am thinking of the Memphis route to go visit one of our members. That would also place me in position to go through Ft. Worth for the bike show. As I used to be an Ohio rider, cold doesn't bother me quite the same. Hey Freebird- I come from Medina Ohio. So

I can actually say I know Oberlin area. Used to run SR 18 up to Norwalk to go racing.

If I read your other post right, J.B. you are leaving Richmond on Monday which will put you around here Monday Night? MapQuest has the milage at 536 miles Richmond-Marietta. You've got a place to stay when you get here.

 

If want to stay here and you let me know how and when you'll be coming in I can ride out and meet you. You do want to avoid rush hour in the Atlanta area, though.

I've got you in my phone. Call me or I'll call you.

Well, I am getting exicted. I am leaving at 6 am out of San Antonio. I will pick up the bike tomorrow night and put a few miles south to get out of town. If I can get the guy in Dunham to answer up I will stop and check out a new bluetooth system. I have talked to the manufacturer in England and they have a great deal of promise. The company is Intaride.

I suspect I will hit Marietta Ga. on Tuesday. I can get e-mail on the road. Todd - I will look forward to meeting you at least for a meal and a ride. The offer of a pillow sounds pretty good too. I guess if I understand correctly the spot of choice is a Dairy Queen:rotf:. I do like Rees's peanut butter cup blizzards.

I am south of Atlanta and would like to meet up with you guys, but my son is coming in for a couple of days leave before his unit deploys so that will trump motorcycle riding for a bit. I do get down to San Antone every now and then though. There is a really nice guy down there riding a 2005 Liquid Silver, goes by the handle Warrior. He also rides with the San Antonio SCRC chapter.
