oldbikers, I like that, now your talking my language.

revmrq · 04-13-2009, 07:17 PM

I would love to go, but it will depend on the dates.

**wanderer** · 04-19-2009, 05:59 PM

I'll be there! Last year was great!

Wanderer, you have to promise to stay on the road this year. Ha Ha, just kidding.

LMAO! Yeah, no chasing rabbits this time.

**wanderer** · 04-21-2009, 05:53 PM

What!? You never heard of a Nomad dual sport? ::)

chainsaw · 04-21-2009, 08:59 PM

I have now. BTW, how was that Triumph for distance riding?

**wanderer** · 04-22-2009, 06:39 PM

The Triumph was great EXCEPT the handlebars. They suck! The Nomad is my true love though. The Triumph will just be a toy to play with occasionally, and to ride when there is a chance of rain. I don't like polishing all the Chrome on the Nomad. The Triumph has black engine cases, and very little chrome.

It is great to see the interest in this again. Now all we have to do is pick the dates. Any suggestions ?

chainsaw · 04-27-2009, 11:18 AM

During a cool time of year. Fall might be nice with the trees turning etc.

socwkbiker · 04-28-2009, 09:38 PM

Good idea Al! Wait, did I just say that???

Rode with a group from Houston/Pasadena to the Talimena the last weekend in October last year and caught the foliage in full "fallness" The temps were mild enough to be able to lose the jacket by noon if you chose to.
Trip was a blast and I'm looking forward to making it again at the next opportunity that works with my shift schedule.

watchman · 05-18-2009, 08:22 AM

Liz and I would like to ride down but anything later than October could be a no show for us.

nightmare · 05-18-2009, 04:23 PM

I think I have a good date for the ride and rally, October 16,17 and 18th 2009. On these dates are also the Robbers Cave Fall Festival which features a fantastic car show, 400 to 500 cars show for this every year. Also there are vendors of every kind live entertainment and a beautiful ride up there. We can make this a day event for us, and then the other days I have a ride across the Talimena trail and also a ride to the west to visit an old west movie set and ghost town. What do you all think??

I'm in if it's not too cold. The last few October rides I did, we almost froze to death. I swore I wouldn't ride with it that cold again.
