Sorry to leave ya hanging for so long SpringMan. I'm sticking to this thread for any idea for any kind of get-to-gather , and try to not be so scattered about Embarrassed

Maybe we should meet a Suches Ga in the Spring :

Ride all day
and
Before leaving have a plan for an August Ride

.....................

Versey lives so far away that it just seem fair we do a get-to-gather closer to his neighborhood some time durning the year. Meeting 1/2 would be the Twisted-Sisters.

It is 23^oF in Fayetteville, NC. All the little green shoots on the trees and bushes will be nipped off, all brown and sere after this one. Jack Frost has finally done got 'em.

It is the heart of winter and we are all looking forward to the first rides of the new Season.

I am recovering now from my prostrate mess. I am no longer incontinent. "Accidents" are becoming very small and extremely rare so I am no longer wearing the absorption pads.

I actually believe them now that I will recover the rest of the way back to normal. yea !!

Sorry MM, no more plans for hooking up any Bionic Biker plumbing. Instead, I got a lazy man plan to flip on the main gas tank around 150 miles, let the 3.5 gallons of gas move down the lines into the bags by gravity, then whenever a short timer needs a gas stop, cut the main tank valve off and fill the top main tank back up and take me a piss stop.

That way I can stop with the group, keep my tanks "mostly filled" and only have to operate the tank valve to control everything. I think this idea will work well when riding with a mixed group of Savagers.

Once a solid date has been set, I'll see if I can get off work and meet y'all there. If anyone is coming from the west coast or southwest, I might join them along the way.

I feel so Fuel Deprived , my little 3.5 gal tank just seems so small for such a ride.

I'm thinking SD in August ,

What do ya'll think of a week or two before or after Serges Ralley. Maybe I should keep the Harley with its 4.5 gal and 50-55 mpg. Or , just plan on taking the Guzzi , 5.5 gals. same mpg.

Long range weather forecast would be the deciding factor for me , but I'm with you fellers ..

It has a 2.8 gallon tank and it get around 50 mpg. So, I have to stop every 100 miles or so. If I happen to pick up a little CTX700 between now and then, I'll probably be able to a bit more that 100 miles between gas stations.

I don't object to riding through town to look at bike week, but staying there is mission impossible as all rooms, campgrounds and open ditches are all booked solid.

There are free campgrounds in the surrounding forest service areas (40 minutes away). but only two $12 pay me sites have a hot shower available. Got bear problems with one of them and the tent areas have been shut down as the local bruins have learned that nylon tents open up at will if you happen to own claws .....

I have the NT700, it is a V-Twin, shaft drive, it has mid mount pegs and it is a great bike. The CTX700 is a parallel twin, chain drive, forward mount pegs and it has a low seat heat and the weight is low and well balanced.....it sits more like a cruiser than my bike does - it is also a great bike. My ST1100 was a great bike and had 110HP and was also a great bike and a super bargain in a used motorcycle - but it has a tall seat height, it's a long bike, and is pretty darn heavy. All of them can go almost 300 miles on a tank of fuel at highway speeds - at 40 mph backroad speeds they can potentially get close to 400 miles!

Since we are not going on a week long drunk, what else do you want to do while in Florida?

Daytona has a lot of racing, racing museums, bars ..... and it is carpeted with big fat overpriced motorcycles.

Roll a bit South to Miami and you got a ton of stuff to do.

Plenty of stuff to see there. Maybe MMRanch can figgure out how to mount a rocket engine on his bike! As a S. Fl resident I will advise if you go to anywhere in Dade county (Miami) it will be VERY helpful if you can speak Spanish.
