Where in Georgia?  And when?

            Not EXACTLY sure, on the date. It'll be shortly AFTER I get a few things taken care of and the main thing will be to get a Nice Assisted Living Retirement Home for my Dad, that is near where my Fiancee lives. Could actually be before the end of the year though. I WILL keep you all posted.

 I've seen SOME Paul and SHE likes to ride too, so we WILL BE enjoying some "Road Time".

Bill, your gonna have to meet up with us nw arkansas guys before ya go.

     Sure will work on that, Guy. And My Daughter will still be in the area, so I will be up here, from time to time too.

North Georgia has some awesome riding and nice ride from Greenville, SC to Hendersonville, NC about an hour north.  Cool little town in the mountains with a Mast General Store and other interesting things to walk around and stretch your legs.  Plus you are not terribly far from the Blue Ridge Parkway which is hard to beat.

On the beachy side, you have the whole coast and many islands.  Long way to South Georgia, but the Okeefenokee Swamp is a pretty cool destination.  I motorcycle camped there last spring and loved it.

Welcome to the great state of Georgia!

Happy Easter Bill !
     I'm moving to GA. too  on May 14..I hope to take a ride with you !

  Sure appreciate the Riding Info, I'm sure looking forward to taking advantage of that AND SHE likes to ride as well, so, it will be a "Family Affair".

   That sounds Good! My Actual moving date depends on how soon I can get things lined out here and get moved (will take SOME time) Probably be at least sometime next year, before we will be riding though. Got SO MUCH to do and take care of. Hopefully be able to meet up with You and whoever else might be in the area too.

I'm moving to Georgia on Thursday, perhaps we will eventually meet up, we sure have tried enough times Good luck with the move Billy, you'll be handy for Atlanta dragstrip in Commerce.

Yes Sir,
    I'll be in N.E. GA. and I'd like to see you're GTX if you still have it.I'll be in the Toccoa area & I'm serious: if you need any help w/ Moving please let me know because I'm willing and Able  .

[bill440cars]

Yes Sir,
    I'll be in N.E. GA. and I'd like to see you're GTX if you still have it.I'll be in the Toccoa area & I'm serious: if you need any help w/ Moving please let me know because I'm willing and Able  .

           Pretty cool! I'm not sure how far away that is, from Hartwell. I'm still learning about Georgia, I've been to Ft. Stewart a few times and gone through, to Florida once, but that's it. And Yes, I still have the GTX and will be keeping it as long as humanly possible.  LOL! I just checked Mapquest and it says that you will be about 45 minutes away, Cool! My initial situation will be kind of a pain, as She is renting where she is (paying on the down payment) and will be buying the place, when she gets the down payment taken care of. She won't let ME help with that either. But, until she gets the down payment taken care of and gets out from under the "Rental thing", any vehicles, on the premises, HAS TO have a current license plate on  there. I'll be taking my GTX, '85 Shelby Charger (maybe) and I also have 2 Dodge Dakotas and my Dad's '93 4wheel drive Dakota. Not going to be easy tagging ALL of those. Gonna have to get together with You all, once I get down there. When will you be moved in there in Toccoa?

[grcamna2]

Bill,
  Like I said, if you need Anything as far as another driver or a back to lift with I'm available to help;also I have a CB350 and it's easy enough to pack into a moving van when the time comes .
I'm going down there on Faith..it's "done"for me here in the Lehigh Valley and I've had an interview for an Apt. down in Toccoa already and..well I'm going for it on the 14th of May.I'm on a limited income and will probably be moving in for real about the 3rd of June...or sooner  Lord willing.I'll drive the Volvo 240 down there w/ my CB350 behind me on a front wheel tow hitch(1st time for that )Very carefully.I want to then save a little $ and then go get my 10'x15' storage locker moved w/ a One Way 15' rental truck w/ a ramp.It's an Adventure I'm looking forward to !

   They used to have bumper stickers for years in VA.(I used to live there) saying "Virginia is for Lovers"..I don't see'em anymore...but I imagine they have better ones in GA. !  By that I mean Warm Loving Folks..smaller communities are Nice.

[bill440cars]

   I'll let you know. I sure appreciate the offer too. I'm sure we will be touching base, soon as we can. Have a safe triup, when you head that way too. 

[grcamna2]

Thanks Bill  ..I hope you enjoy this wonderful Spring season with you're Wife to Be..you "Young Man" !

Bill, Great to hear about your move and your happiness. Your a little closer to me now also here in NC. I met Sam last year a Rockingham Dragstrip during part of the relay ride. Great guy!! and can ride the heck out of a 750A down the dragstrip.

[y2kc0wb0y]

SC gets HOT in the summer - prepare yourself. Flip side no where near as cold as where you're coming from.  LOTS of good roads to ride on around there and your in between two major SE cities. Charlotte/Atlanta. Congrats.

[faux fiddy]

BI'll drive the Volvo 240 down there w/ my CB350 behind me on a front wheel tow hitch(1st time for that )Very carefully.

Show some pics of that.

I always thought somehtinglike that must  exist but never viewed it.

Do you take the chain off?

[grcamna2]

Hi Fiddy,
    I'm still a real newb when it comes to learning how to post pics to the forum;I purchased the item on Ebay and it's called a "Dandy Hauler".I think you can get a few good pics off of all the listings this guy has on Ebay.I've heard that(I haven't tested it yet)it needs to have the front wheel mounted Very securely to the tow bar hitch itself so it stays on tight..the directions recommend a ratchet tie-down strap,but I'll use 2 of them there.The directions also say that when you take corners the bike will lean a bit  so I'll be going Carefully & yes I'll disconnect my drive chain.
I apologize for getting into you're thread Bill...Fiddy PM me if you want to know a little more about it.

       Thank you guy, I am HOPING to finally meet up with Sam, just couldn't seem to before, but maybe THIS time AND I'll most likely have my Lady there as well.     Be cool to Meet up with You as well. Be cool to see Sam on the Strip too.

      Yeah, I HAVE been out in the basic area before, but it has been a very long time though. I was stationed at Charleston AFB in SC, back in 1966-67.  Thank you for the input though.

      Hey listen, Bo Problem, about this. I have never had a problem with something like this, as folks never have gotten completely off course and this is not a problem at all. I have towed like that before, but mine was makeshift. BTW, Good luck with YOUR Move too Brother. 

[grcamna2]

Thanks Bill ,
       I know it's a Lot WARMER in GA. .....;you know what I mean ? 
Bill,I really do hope to be able to help you in any way I can when YOU make you're move down from Arkansas,no Bull. I won't be very far from the Huge Granite quarries in Hartwell so please keep me in mind.I'll be looking at the forum and waiting for you to PM me & tell me you can use my assistance in...driving,lifting,etc.
I've been to First Baptist once before in Hartwell & they were very Nice.

[bill440cars]

  Hey Brother, I WILL be PMing you before long. For now, We are working to find a nice Assisted Living Retirement Home for him, down here. Finding that I have a number of things to do and that the cost is going to be more than in Arkansas. But, there ARE some things about the place that we are looking at, THAT really is more appealing. Probably gonna be more around May &/ JUly, before we REALLY get into the moving part. BUT, I will definitely keep you and your offer, in mind. Michelle actullay belongs to and attends a Baptist Church in Lavonnia (I believe). I've been there, but not exactly sure which town it is tied to. I DO appreciate your offer AND I will be in touch. 

[grcamna2]

OK Bill...I hope you get blessed with that nice assisted living Home where you're Dad will Know they care like family.

                                                                    Bill H.

   Thanks, it's looking like we have to get on a "Waiting List" and there is No Telling how long it will take. The cost is kinda high too, like MORE than double what we are paying now. Of course, the quality of care, has to be looked at and the place we are looking at, DOES have more to offer.  We';; just DO what we have to do.

Nice to see you here Bill. Its a far ride from Bluffton SC but one of my boys and I will come see ya when you get settled in. Or better yet we could meet for lunch on the bikes somewhere between You, Atlanta  and I. The 3-5 person crew from Atlanta likes to travel. I travel alone 99% of the time. We plan to meet in  Augusta Ga soon.    Safe travels Bill.

 That WOULD be cool and hope to be able to make thst too. 

[bill440cars]

     Well ALL, as you can tell by the update, things have changed. Yep, the date has officially been moved up and we are ACTUALLY getting married on Aug. 1st, 2012! So, I'm gonna be working on what HAS to be done and do THAT by about mid July. Not far off, eh?    That's right, My Single Days (which I WAS NOT comfortable with, will be OVER before I know it AND I am Excited.  

[grcamna2]

I'm Very happy for both You and Michelle and Thank God for getting you both together w/ each other;I know from experience...it's not good when being alone feels "normal".
Let me know how I can help..you may need me sooner than  expected and I'll sure be down there about May 16.I'm a safe & careful driver if you need me to help transport a vehicle to N.E.GA. for you.
   Bill, Did you find a Nice assisted living place for you're Dad ? I know what you mean about how nice this forum is and they can almost seem like family.

   Thank you Bill. And We feel that God had his hand in this, as there are just so many indications. SOME may do just fine, being single, but it sure isn't ME. I need someone to share things with and to do things with. She is into motorcycles and cars and wants me to keep what I can, for "US" to work on and ride/drive too. She knows that I am somewhat active in the Car Club and participate in SOME car shows and is looking forward to that as well. I'll tell you that, THIS is just SO PERFECT! 

   Soon as I can get started on the move, I'll know more about what and when I'll need help with. Thanks for the offer too. And ANYTIME I can help YOU, Son't heditate there either. That's what friends are for.

   Pretty much settled on a place for my Dad. They do alot for their folks, like encouraging them to participate in activities, to include outtings outside the home and though the price IS more than I was expecting, I can get assitance through the VA and then it will be about what we are already paying. I mean, my Dad had over 42yrs service, when he retired, back in '85.   

   Yeah, this bunch IS my Family and helped me through the time when my (socalled) brother and his wife tried to put my Dad in a nursing home, take everything he had AND put Me out of everything AND when my Wife past away and the support I got from here, was just SO incredible and also, MOST of the entries on my Wife's Guestbook on Making Everlasting Memories (MEM online), were from SOHC4 members and THAT meant (and STILL means) alot to me.
