i had hoped to take awhile and make my way down there. not sure how much time i will have as of yet, or even exactly what day im leaving as of now. i doubt i will have all the time i originally though, but i still want to take enough time to make a few pit stops along the way and visit a few friends i never get to see. plus i will have to stop in ATL and visit one of my sisters when i pass through. anyway, who's close along my path? cant guarantee i'll make it by to say hello, but id like to stop a few places. |

Holla holla if you have time to stop in E. TN- Deal's Gap is about 25 hot ride minutes away on the Buell. Unfortunately, at this writing I have nothing operational/ready to ride. Got a futon inside where it's warm. |

If you're staying for a few months, you definitely need to keep up with the new "April Buells Day" thread. When you get to the Chattanooga area and want to ride, just let me know. |
Whatever

You might need tire studs the way this winter is shaping up! If you end up to the right of Knoxville let me know. It is a bit off from your path. |

two hrs south of gainesville if you decide to go any further south. in the middle of construction and if nothing else got a sofa bed that ain't really that bad. roads not that fun but there's hardly a day that you can't ride. more than welcome if your interested. |

This is just a guess, but i don't think Tim will be on his bike. I could be wrong though! |

unfortunately I am Ft Lauderdale FL, but if you happen to make it this far south, I have a couch with pull out sofa, a homemade meal, and some fun roads-when it isn't rush hour! |

One hour east on I-10 to Jacksonville gets you a free place to stay, a hot meal, and Amsoil on the house if it's time for a change... |

nope i will be hauling the bikes down for the winter. i cant ride all of them there!! and haul as much stuff as i will need for my extended stay... and fats i already figured id stop and see ya, maybe barker if he's around too since i will be going right through town basically. as far as april buells day, it depends on how long i am there. supposedly i will have a job to come back to in the spring. but i needed something to do so i dont go nuts around here so i guess i'll head that way and work...

Tim, Give me a shout when you get ii Florida. I am about an hour south of Gainesville. I'll get you on some of the only curves in Florida. If you bring your track day gear, I'll see if I can swing a trackday at Jennings or... If there is some racing going on while your down here, perhaps you'd care to join in? |
