And Tommy, Leaving early sounds like the best bet. I'd rather get there a little early and hang out a bit before the rally Starts.

I'm getting excited thinking about it!! I gotta start getting the bike ready I need at least the tail bags that Ebbs had on the ZZR...and a backpack. I'll be packing light :)

I'd strap that back pack to the tail... or pack it REALLY LIGHT... that long a trip with the extra weight on your shoulders will wear on ya...

Well I'm not sure I actually may need it...I plan on getting the Cortech Tail bag you had/Plus the Saddle bags...Obviously you have first hand experience...How much shit can those things hold??

I will have to see closer to the date if I would be able to make it or not, depends on training for our upcoming mission if I will be able to get away or not...
you could probably talk to members and find places to crash on the way down... Crazy (where's he been?) lives in Champaign... and Capt'n lives in Indy...

and a Uhaul rental of a trailer in town is cheap.. you'd just have to pay for extra milage. or do two one way rentals... it's costing me $550 to rent a 6x8 and drive from AK to Mississippi...

Truth. Comonboys loaded up a back pack HEAVY when we went to Duluth. I ended up wearing it most of the way as she got tired of it. Ended up strapping it on the bike for the return trip.

I know enough people with trailers, that wouldn't be the issue.
As for the drive, it would only be 2 days tops. 1 if I could convince comonboys to drive some.
But depending on the trailer I got, could possilby hook up with someone on the way down if they didn't want to ride...

Yeah I mean the backpack would just be T shirts and some Bathroom shit. But if the Cortech luggage can suffice I will def just roll with that

A SHIT TON. I had more than enough stuff for my entire trip. you should be completely fine... I didn't really have much packed in the tail bag... I had my laptop and just some cords and external hd. the saddle bags had my clothes, shoes, toiletries...

but I severely over packed... I'd pack 2 shirts, a pair of shorts, a pair of tennis shoes, some underwear, 3 or 4 pair of socks, and that's about it... if I were to do that entire trip again... as everywhere I stayed I had access to a washer and dryer. :2cents:

after all... all that weight could mean the diffrence between a sick wheelie to show off... and looping it 800 miles from home... :zowned:

Lol. I'll def keep that in Mind, MY Only issue is, I'm thinking about Riding down to Suches, Then going to Myrtle Bike week to meet up with my buddies going to that...so I'd be on the bike for about a week...but I'm sure I can suffice and just find a place to wash my shit somewhere.

Mr Lefty 01-10-2009 07:18 PM
OR... just get the address of the hotel... SHIP your stuff you're gonna take to Myrtle... then when you get there... ship the stuff you brought to Suches back... and take the Myrtle stuff with ya.
