Always welcome and nothing wrong with some Yankees per say since probably half of the people in this are from north of the Mason Dixon, in fact some of the most enjoyabel group rides I have had was represented by the boysfrom PA, NJ, DE, it is all good. See what 2013 can bring and would be great to ride a with many old and some new ones again.
Generally during the Rolling Thunder event at end of May, a good group get together from all over. Great event if you are looking for a reason to ride this way.
Rolling Thunder is a great ride, for sure... been there several times, I got a respected coworker who's a local legion rider officer who ropes me in all the time- and don't get me wrong it's alway a great trip to and from, and the statement made to our country is as important to me as well as everyone I figure... forgive but the whole traffic thing once we get there works my nerve though. Now please don't anybody take that the wrong way. Some things are important... I'm with you on that. i go whenever I can.
This trip here tho that we're thinkin' of would be a different type of adventure. Open road, close friends, not a lot of folks BUT- stopping in to some places and taking a few miles along the way with respected riders like yourself would be a most welcome plus.
At the risk of "going too far", lol... lately I'm thinking of doing a "one-up" on my kid and my buddy from Tejas... work with me here folks who are reading this, if you would.
I'm lookin' for the worst, nastiest, ugliest strip club between Texas and the northeast... not like a place that second ammendment solutions would likely have to be invoked, but that are relatively safe though have the oldest or ugliest or nastiest strippers working for them... I think it would be HILARIOUS to recommend stopping in there to see how my kid and my buddy handle the situation. It would be a memory that we would talk about for the rest of our days, lol. They would give me a ton of sh*t and would never know that it was intentional that I had them do that.
Maybe I should start a new thread on that one eh? I know, I know, I'm a sick dude.
That being said, and I know most here would agree- there are so many little known places in our great country that are so very worth visiting, outside of the tourist places, that I think no matter where we go or what we do it will be worth the trip. Small town America, biker friendly if at all possible, that's the idea.
Thanks Fibre...
Not sure if I could put up with more than a couple of weeks ridin' with these guys... or anybody, lmao. It should make for a good story to write about afterwards, I hope.
You sir, rock. Thanks.
