I'll be down the weekend before to pick it up and drop it off at sixxxers house, my bike will be at your house when we are ready to go, and load it on the trailer which will be hooked to your truck.

You mean sixxers truck?

also do yo uwant to put 2 bikes or one on the trailer so I know if I need to set up 1 or 2 chocks.

That depends on if she just wants to cruise or if she wants to play :D Either way, we'll make sure you get to ride Tsunami ;)

Yes I have a Hitch.

And Fred Clarify what you just said Im confused? Lol And I would only need the trailer to tow Dave's bike (if he goes) Freds bike and Mine...If I did have three bikes though Id put two on the trailer and one in the bed...More room to keep the luggage in the bed with only one bike.

Ok so you and I are clear, once fred figures out what the hell hes talking about we will be good. I have a handful of tiedowns and one canyon dancer so LMK if you need any of that.

Hey has anyone used the series two Canyon Dancers? I don't want to risk wrecking my new grips but I'm way too lazy to install my frame sliders with the tie down eyes...

http://www.canyondancer.com/products.aspx

I have never ruined a set of grips on any bike with the canyon dancer 1 or seen it happen for that matter, but I am sure the canyon dancer 2 is fine.

Yeh thats what I mean. I can pick the trailer up from LI the weekend before and either keep it at my house or drop it at sixxxers house.

Yea I know, I have a couple sets but I have "tweaked" a grip or two...

Hey Derf, you might also be able to rent a trailer from whatever military installation you are closest to. The one down here rents an enclosed trailer big enough for one large cruiser for 20 bucks a day or a weekend.

Racedoll, I'd definitely love to meet you and your hubby! Mine knows whats important, he couldnt make it to Indy but didnt begrudge me the trip, and he'd most likely be cool with me making this one by myself if he cant. Tho he will be there, Im making sure of it!

Mcguire/Dix stopped renting out trailers last summer, they bought 2 new ones in june and by july they were unuseable because they were smashed up too much. Tommy is only 1 1/2 hour north of me, before the rally last year I drove up to his area for a funeral on enroutey to the rally.

Damn....y'all were busy today.

The only "dealership" in Blairsville is Yammie/Honda - but I've got a local hook up with BMW Ambassador - what do you guys need? Couldn't really tell from the post.

Hokie - hell no. Period. There are rebel flags atop every flag pole for 20 square miles or more...but we don't allow stuffed anything on the wall.

The Chi - if the wife is coming - I'll even throw in the Honeymoon suite for no extra $$ - but you are right - this is going to be one hell of a party!

I'm on my way to GA, but will send info to Trip for posting of information, rates, and booking details this week.

Thanks.

So... am I going to be allowed there?

Cool... We'l have plenty of room for your snuggie to go along.

Maybe we'll do that. I would have to come down Wed then. Which is fine by me.

Compared to my bike I bet yours still feels small.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure... unless someone shows up on a Wing... I'll have the best back seat. Tsunami may have to rock/paper/scissors for it. LOL

I just sent the wife an email (yes email... I forgot to ask earlier) to see if there is anything going on that weekend. And I'm putting in for the vacay time at work tonight.

I'm down for the BS sessions... don't think i'll be following ya'll on many rides with the DRZ... but I'll take photos for those that want.

Send the other pillion riders on the uncomfortable bikes!

Great, the Asian and the Zebra is going to get lynched.

Best. Post. Ever.

Either that or they'll force me to take care of the house and force you to build them a railroad while we're there....

She's the wife and she doesn't deserve it, give it to me. :nee:

Oh hell YEAH!! Sign us up, I'll tell the hubby later. :lol: I AM the wife.

You just made it sound like I'm married to you. :rofl: Yikes!

no way I'm share'n a lodge with you guys now!

How? I just said you didn't deserve the honeymoon suite. Why would I kick my wife out?

You guys are already married, so :nee:

:lol: Of course I do, who's giving up a possble euro vacation to come to the rally? Huh, huh? Thats dedication right there!

you are going on it anyway later. :nee:

Eff You Rae I want the Honeymoon suite!!! Lmao...I would only be married for like 2 weeks at that point :)

Spoke to Rebecca shes excited to go...Shes just worried about her ass being sore from riding all day...So If someone is comfortable riding her and shes comfortable riding with someone other than me...than I may try to pawn off my women to someone else...LMAO!!

Wow, now that's dedication.

Lol...Eh. I was just kidding...I really dont care where I sleep. Im just excited to go to another one

Shut up Trip. I cant help it I had to rush the legal part. *pout*

That said, Six, if you want it, you are welcome to it as I will be going on a honeymoon eventually.

bounced it off TL and she wants to go. Just gotta mke sure things are good with work and the state and maybe sell some shit inbetween. Scoot can your truck fit everybody or will we need the van?

Its not that Its tough to ride with her on the back...I've done it and would do it if I have to...But Im only trying to help her out...My backseat shouldnt even be called a backseat its hard as fuck and uncomfortable for her...Eventually I will get another bike that I can ride two up with more comfortably...but for nwo Im stuck with the 6R...and if we are gonna be out riding all day I want my Wife to not be in pain. And if Gas is coming and noone takes his backseat...Id glady let her ride with him so she was comfortable...I wouldnt wanna sit on my backseat all day.

Just saying...Im sure someone there will have a better backseat than me....Lol

I got the Extended Cab...I can fit four comfortably...If Fred goes and I take his bike I could fit the five of us. Fred is a small dude so he can sit bitch :)

:nee:

No going on a moto trip just after you get married. Two weeks and already dragging her with you. My wife would of slapped me at the very notion of it.

Why do you think im marrying her?! ;)

I hope it is for other reasons besides her love on moto trips. :lol:

Chi. I'm with ya on legal fast marriages. Uma and I decided on whim. Screw the big wedding, let's get married next week. Remember, the wedding doesn't make the marriage.

Well it looks there may be some high demand for the back seat of a.... Dare I say it? :lol:

They obviously changed because the back seat on my 04 6RR is VERY comfy, for a SB.

I goggled how far it was from Copperhead to the Dragon...BC i hope we make a run out there one day bc I REALLY wanna ride it again...and Its about 2 hours...Ish...And she was like...Wait...We would RIDE to the dragon...lol SO yeah Gas your backseat is gonna be a hot commodity.

We got multiple comfy bikes, if my wife stays home, the back seat of the GS is an option for those that want to experience the Dragon on a whole new level.

Russell Day Long custom saddles, mmmmmmmmm comfort

I'll likely be the on my VFR, and it's a great 2-up yet still 'sporting' ride. Anyone that wants to (translation: are crazy enough to) ride with me will be welcome to. I've got a good bit of 2-up experience in the twisties & actually enjoy doing so - though I take the responsibility extremely seriously & it's the most stressing/exhausting riding I have ever done.

If you're going to bring the VFR then you need to just trailer and bring the GSX-R so I can ride it again Kerry :D j/k ;) or if Josh will bring the 600 along this time.... hmmmm.

So the fact that were going to go to australia for a moto gp or wsbk race for our honeymoon is not good :

If tommy is nice enough he may let me trailer down his buell...One can never have enough options when it comes to riding :)

Damn skippy! :yes:

Sorry Sixxxer, your wifey has to find another backseat. Or you can rent it from me for the right price and then I may go on someone elses. :lol:

Lmao. I'm sure there will be enough comfy backseats to go around :lol

:lol: Funny- Eric messaged me on facebook- and I'm on here pretty regular. Just not a :whore:
Dude- that's the best way to ride! Pick a general destination and go on dead reckoning. (get a map just in case)
:lol So you'll try to IBA on the Ape, and have a backup bike (the Buell) on the trailer?
:tremble: Look out for rednecks in pickups... Wait, that nut couldn't have seen your color. :td: We'll just have the heavy duty cruisers play linebacker- with tailgunners :lol:
:skep: I've been calling my brother a "zebra" lately. Dumb HS shit- his hair is died black and his straw blonde roots are showing :lol:
Hmmm... I was waiting for that to come from a female :whatwhat:

Cool.. I hope your wife is better looking than you boyfriend!

Cool... I'll go! :skep:

Gross...but you have to do the jack off sign to Zee when we go by, it's tradition.

I already talked to Eric via PM, he is going to see if he can reach rogue...

I haven't heard back from her yet. I'll try to call her this evening.

I'm hanging out at a cabin at Copperhead Lodge this weekend. I thought it would be cold but its perfect riding weather! I wish I had brought my bike.



(Pictures later, I forgot the USB cable....drat!)


Anyone in the area this weekend drop by and say "hi!"

Check out what is parked in front of the lodge this morning:

Yeah, today is perfect for riding, dammit, I'm working. I'll be off Sunday when it's supposed to rain... but if it doesn't, when are you heading home?

I'll probably be there all week... got my brothers wedding the weekend of the 22nd in Iowa... thinking of just riding straight from there to the lodge and leaving for home on the 7th...

depends on the $ though... be nice to ride from Iowa to GA on pure backroads...

Iowa has backroads :lol:

Leaving sometime mid afternoon. But we'll be here all night. There's a band....not sure if that's tonight or tomorrow but just get your behind over here whenever you can and hang out with us. I'll buy you a beer.

:)

LMAO gas...Yeah shes def better looking than Derf!!

Not like that requires a lot of effort :lol:

Shit, the better question is...Iowa has front roads?

that's what I was gonna say... all of Iowa's roads would be backroads... :lol:

Trip you down for some dual sport riding?


think I'm gonna try to find something around there

Cool enough

Post proof!

Forest service roads are good in that area. I know a couple locals. I will find us a good route.

I will probably be getting some tourrances soon because my bridgesucks are almost to cords on the front.

I was gonna say you shouldn't have a problem finding some good FS trails and roads around there. I have customers that go in that area on KLR's and such but don't know particular routes. If one of them comes in I'll try to get some specifics for ya.

I need some new tires. the stock tires are done. got about 50% on the D606's... need to fine some new street tires though.

so nothing too muddy...

yeah, the GS isn't going anywhere bad, that's what I have the DRZ for.

The forest service roads are hard packed gravel typically.

oh... very different than western forest service roads... those you need to have a lift and 4x4 to go on...

you should trailer the bikes down... but I doubt the civic would pull the DRZ and the GS as they probably weigh as much together as the civic it self! :lol:

I am not being the guy that trailers a GS. I don't think the civic would like trailering the GS let alone both.

:lol:

how about pull the DRZ behind the GS? :lol:

lol it probably could, but i dont want to put that kind of stress on the final drive.

is anyone bring any 4wheel fun?

Who would have done that??

I wish I could but the 600 was sold a little while ago. I'll be happy to switch out the 1000 with you if you want...

My Suburban...

We can fit a lot of beer in there:rockwoot:

Say what ever happened with the alternator bracked we had to jb weld back on

Drewpy - lots to explore and fun to be had on 4 wheels directly from the resort...plus, miles and miles of trails in the local area.

If you are bringing a sports car, we are all going to take turns kicking you in the nuts if you try to bring that out on a ride with us.

You aren't Jeeps.

A rented full sized truck....hee heee hee....

Still holding. I haven't taken it anywhere that far since so I'll replace it before I leave...:lol:

[insert]poutyface[/insert]
:lol
hell it sounds to be more fun to bring the jeep anyways lol

What happened to drewpy, have you become a sissy? You do not use 4 wheeled vehicles.

im kidding, im still riding out on the buell

Ah, well if you want to let me swap out for a bit I'll probably take you up on it ;)

little too far for me to ride out on mine :(

this would be one long f'n ride for me, I would most likely have to fashion an additonal Trunk also

you know you want to come

You are absolutely right about that, I would LOVE to make the ride, just saying 768 miles!!!! And I'm already planning on driving to floriday a month later, in a minivan, with a 3yr old :wtfru:

Wuss, I drove 600+ to Orlando in mostly subfreezing temps during NYE. 768 in spring/summer isn't worse. Stay at Drewpys as a lay over.

I'm trying to figure out a way to introduce this plan to the wife. We have vaca's in march and july planned, so getting of time at work will be tricky also. Hmm, give me a few minutes and I can come up with some more excuses.

and total sidenote, did we ever figure out if Drewpy was full of @#$@# about the whole bike in the tree thing?

bike in the tree?

exactly!!!

Ok, seriously, I need to get all the midwest guys to do a rally down in Arkansas, that's a much better distance

If you want to stay here I can take you to a place of half nekkid coeds' that will be severly intoxicated :lol:

did you Trunk it?

So I iwll still have the high mileage award :clap: :lol: my house to two was around 900 last year. Not sure where this lodge is in comparison and I am now about 15 miles further east on LI.

we could ride together... I'll be in Iowa for my bro's wedding... then riding straight there.

This just in..

I want to ride down with drewpy instead! :lol

Gm knows what up...

Just dont tell Fatburg's wife. :wink:
