RE: Hitting The Road Sunday The 26th.
345 mile day today. Did a lot of sight seeing. Chilling in McRae GA tonight, will make NC tomorrow.
Trip was excellent. CB is getting about 45mpg. Speeds varying from about 55 to 70 depending on geography. Got lighted up by a GHP coming at me who kept on going. I was doing 70 at the time, the middle of nowhere on 129, hadn't seen another car in an hour. Hadn't seen a speed limit sign since I had gotten on it, but I'm reckoning it was 55. Weather report looking good for tomorrow.

Geezer, are you getting to the rally really early, or doing a reconnaissance?

Nice the light up warning. Got to appreciate that. Wish more LEO's were that accommodating.

Definitely was appreciated Smile
Cormanus, funny you should ask that question, as I'm ensconced at the Two Wheel Inn tonight, which is where I reserved for the Rally. I'm on my Spring trip this week. Probably going to head to visit some friends in TN tomorrow, though it's supposed to be cold, frost warnings in the am Sad
333 miles today, awesome riding and practically deserted roads Smile
TWI is pretty nice. While not the most sophisticated, the room is clean, has DirecTV, flatscreen, ref. and micro, and of course the garage for the bike.

We were staying at TWI almost exactly one year ago. Really liked the place for exactly the same reasons you stated...nice room and a garage..and the folks there were very nice to us, too.

Arrived home about 7pm today. Cut a day short, as I got an invite to a good friends birthday party that I cannot miss!
So anyway, my spring trip was awesome. Great visit to my buds in Knoxville, nice rides on great roads in TN, NC and N.GA. Super weather too. Enjoyed my stay at the Two Wheel Inn.
1701 miles w absolutely NO issues. Not a hiccup, sputter, stall, just whirring, spinning, clutching, shifting, leaning, stopping and smooooth cruising.
Stock seat too!
Looking forward to seeing all the Rally attendees the end of this month!

Sounds like you had a great trip Geezer, as trips should be.

Nice trip, Geezer! Ain't it great when you can ride the best roads while everyone else is at work?
