Eck Posted May 13, 2013 #8 Posted May 13, 2013 Hey Paul, I just looked (12:36pm) and if you can time it to where you will be at the intersection of HWY 45 and Hwy82 around 3:30/3:45pm, I will meet you at that intersection and you can follow me to Huck's Place in Columbus. I will be riding my wing. If you don't get this message or if you are not at that intersection by 3:45 latest, I will just ride on to Huck's place and meet you there as we already discussed. Eck

Mike G in SC Posted May 14, 2013 #16 Posted May 14, 2013 Last time I saw that sidecar it was getting off I-20,,,, in SC. It was '50's Corvette red/white. Next time I see it, is should be two tone blue to match it's new host, 2011 RSV. And he will have a matching trailer. It might have been a comment I made about looking like the circus come to town. Mike G.
Eck Posted May 14, 2013 #18 Posted May 14, 2013 Glad you made it to Tupelo safely Paul. It was a pleasure meeting you too. I hope your testing goes great today and that you have a very safe (uneventful mechanics wise) trip back home.. Look forward to a day when we can have a MS Meet & Eat and be able to get all the MS members we can to show up. And a little note to Walter here: I've straightened up..........
