Colo. XSessive visiting Georgia

[Brent]

A good day

A day spent riding & visiting, eating, touring... a Good Day.

Visited so long that rush hour was over before we returned through Atlanta. Nice to have friends in common. Any suggestions, Ray?...on what to do with the kickstand switch on my "modern bike"?

Ride when you can,
Brent in ga

Well.......seeing how my excuses aren't 'holding much water'......I'll be considering the ride .

[motoman]

Nice that you guys could get together. Brant, did they talk you into a stay ay the Iron Pony a few weeks away?

Need very little to be cohersed if its two-wheel related. Pocket book may reflect something different though. Rather it be cage or two wheels, a trip of that sort WILL lighten your pockets a grand at minimum.....BTDT......and still got 1700mi. and two days headin' back.
Trailerin' either scoot behind my 7.3diesel would be obviously the best option unless I was heading that direction on a LD ride anyways.....but this late in the year, that sure ain't happening anyways. To easy to wind up like 3Phase last year up on two wheels, and not be able to get over the 'hill' (VailPass/EishenhowerTunnel) for a couple days ......not good as your gonna need some serious cold weather ridin' gear.......and that's AFTER the weather clears!

Dean,
If we can get you down here, just once, you'll be riding down here with MaximPhil every September from now on. I have a feeling we may have given Brant an itch to return east.

way overrated....

I don't think it's fair to call US129 at Deals Gap overrated. Tell me where you can find a more technical road that goes on for so many miles like that. Overrated? No. It does get busy and there seems to be no shortage of fools crossing the center line or driving off the road. I'll give you that. By time we go through there on Sept 27, most of the crowd will have moved on. The Dragon can take your life if you don't respect it!

My Pine Mountain ride ended up at just about 320 miles yesterday. I had forgotten about some of the great rides in that area. It was good to go back and even better to shake hands with another forum member.

Now that you've had a little taste Brant, time for the real deal......

Meeting Motoman

A few pics from the ride back toward Atlanta after luncheon with Motoman.
We talked till 5pm so I guess that qualifies as a luncheon?

Riding GA Hwy 190
(i'm fixing the pickup coil wires on my XS11 so had to ride the Triumph Sprint today


Stopped at Franklin D Roosevelt's fav picnic spot outside Warm Springs GA


Brent (btw note he has rebuilt the motor on ol' red so it should be good for ANOTHER 250,000 miles.
Its back on the road with mucho power) riding the Red Oak Covered Bridge
Brent now has first responder collection of Fire & Police HD's. choices-choices


Marty wobbling on the boards of the Covered Bridge


Guess that's it. Meet Motoman mission accomplished.
Some excellent riding and some good fellowship = Perfect Day.

Hope you could get along with grumpy old Brent........Ha ha ha

[JeffH]

They may even throw up a couple pics to verify it happened .

Yep, it happened. Had a nice lunch and a good time with Motoman, Brent & Marty.
Bonus was a nice ride taking some good country roads to get down to Pine Mountain


Left home at 10am and got back at dark. A GOOD DAY

[motoman]

Got to meet and have lunch with three super nice XSessives!.........and didn't even have ride the Venturer to do so(pun for Greg) . Even 'got the T-shirt....now how cool was that .....even got to throw a leg over two-wheels to make me feel at home . They may even throw up a couple pics to verify it happened .

[BA80]

Looking forward to it Ray. Aside from the great BBQ, best part is I didn't have to 'beat-up' on the Venturer gettin' here to meet some more XSessives. Now if had been on the STeed, its got 'longer legs' than my backside could of stood anyways .

That's good pain, it don't hurt.
