Events for 2021
01/11/21 at 13:59:28

Is it too early to start thinking about this. I would like to make it to at least 2 rides this year. My favorite is still the Texas Hill Country so I would like to offer that up to see who is interested.

I have to admit that the Arkansas riding was amazing so if anybody would be interested in that again.

Tail of the Dragon????

New places are always cool!!!

If the virus subsides this summer , then I'd love to have company this year !

I'd like to take you fellers up to the "Loveless Café" for lunch one day then down the Trace to a southern Tn. route back to Lynchburg .

Do we have any flat-tracker fans here ? In the next town over we have a Nationally sanctioned Flat-track event in normal summers. I'll ask my buddy Pat if he's putting it on again this year. Versey you remember Pat (the guy that had the rectifier) for Beast , he's all-ways doing some event.
..............................

Springman , from your house to mine , its two 400 mile days up the Natchez trace ,with free camp-grounds - then one short day from my house to the Dragon/Suches area. I've got a spare bedroom with full size bed if wife joins ya.

Heck : one day last year me and Dave rode from the Dragon to my house and then back to the Dragon in the same day ! Grin

All you fellers are always welcome any time your in the area. I've got a couch and a twin bed in the rock-house now too. Then there is four recliners in the living room ... Wink

I've some-what perfected my "Ribs on the Grill" from last time I tried cooking some of them for ya'll Embarrassed

. Having a REAL smoker has helped with that a little !

I'd like to try again for the Blue-Bonnet Ride in late spring. Maybe Marcia and I will have the vaccine by then ? Huh

If I was going to Texas next week then I'd be bring Kate too . She's the Kawasaki/Triumph hybrid bike also know as a W650 , she's running like she was meant too. It takes getting up to 5,000+ rpm to get the 50 hp out of her , but she is really mild mannered and sweet from 1500 to 3500 rpm where most of our time is spent.

Posts: 2245 Spring, Texas Gender:	Re: Events for 2021 Reply #6 - 01/12/21 at 08:23:59 The Hill Country in the spring time sounds good to me MM. I look forward to meeting Kate. I'm not sure but I'm guessing I would probably take the S40 for that trip. I think the S40 likes the Hill Country.

RIDDING DOUBLE IS THE THING ...

THE SAVAGE IS A LITTLE SHORT ON PASENGER ROOM . Huh

BUT

I HAD A SIMULAR THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEING A SAVAGE RIDE AND ALL . Undecided

WE HAVE RODE THE SAVAGE ON GROUP RIDES AND IT KEEPS UP WITH THE HARLEYS AND GOLD WINGS JUST FINE , EVEN GOING UP-HILL. Wink

ITS THE SEAT LENGTH THING. LAST SUMMER WHEN I ONLY HAD TWO BIKES , THE GUZZI WAS WAITING ON A NEW TIRE AND WE HAD A RIDE TO ATTEND. SO , IT WAS THE SAVAGE'S TURN TO HALL US AROUND FOR A DAY. WE WENT UP THE NORTH GA. MOUNTAINS THAT DAY , UP TO A PLACE CALLED "SKY-LINE" INTO A NATIONAL FORREST AREA. IT WAS FUN.

STILL DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO TAKE THE SAVAGE RIDDING DOUBLE OVER CATTLE GRATES ??? Roll Eyes

If Marcia is coming with you you definitely want either Kate or the Guzzi. My Honda is much better than the Savage on the highway, but I still get a kick out of riding the S40 highway or not.

Springman you've got the 27 tooth front pulley ? I've got the standard tank on it , but locally that 2.7 gallons have a lot of smiles in them !

Posts: 18314 Camp Springs, Kentucky Gender:	Re: Events for 2021 Reply #13 - 01/13/21 at 15:08:01 I plan on doing as much riding as I can fit in. The Texas ride would be nice. A few trips to north GA, TN and NC for the usual rides. A repeat of the fall ride in Arkansas. I believe Deb wants to go visit Gettysburg. It would be nice to go back to the Barber Vintage Motorcycle event.
