Let me know when he gets closer to Georgia, I'm in Atl but probably can scoot 3 or so hours east to pick him up before heading to Valdosta, if the timing works. Vern 404-552-5155

Right on! Awfully quiet here... I'll reach out to those regional members and see if we can get some connections made.

Attention Team Southeast Coastal! GZ is awaiting entry into our neck of the woods (AGAIN!) and in the care of 70CB750 in Nokesville, Virginia.

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?action=profile;u=23829

Anyone with any ideas for routes/dates/etc able to reach up to 70CB750 it's time to speak up! Three weeks till Valdosta!

Ride safe guys,

Wilbur

Nokesville is a long way from ATL. I do have next weekend 10/27 and 28 to ride (my wife is out of town!) so if some one can get him closer to GA/NC or even MT. Airy NC, I'm sure me and Pandora are up for the challenge. Regardless I'm planning on leaving here early Saturday morning for Ashville ,NC where I'll spend the night with friends. On Sunday, jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway headed east for maybe 4 or 5 hours before I turn toward ATl. Let me know by Thursday evening,otherwise, you'll find me some where on the BRP.

Could this be our opportunity? bluez will be in Ashville, NC on Saturday/Sunday 10/27 and 10/28, or even as far as Mt. Airy, NC if necessary. What do you guys think? Is this our link-up?

70CB750 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 21, 2012, 04:08:39 PM »

Maybe. I just checked - it is 420 miles from here.

Blueridgerunner · « **Reply #58 on:** October 22, 2012, 09:41:01 AM »

I sold my CB650 this spring and now have an 87 Goldwing. However, if any unfulfilled stretches on the Blue Ridge Parkway or vicinity, my GL1200 is technically still a SOHC4 and a Honda too. So, if I can help I would be happy to.

70CB750 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 22, 2012, 10:29:10 AM »

Hear, hear!

We are exchanging messages now but the bottom line is:

Godzilla is with me (Warrenton area)
There is a possibility in Asheville NC to hand hime over
I have only Saturday to ride this weekend , I could get him to Lynchburg by noon +/-

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #60 on:** October 22, 2012, 03:39:25 PM »

Blueridgerunner is in a good position (geograpically) to connect those dots. He's sporting a Goldwing right now, but ANYTHING beats Team Brown! I've sent both a PM and e-mail to see if he's on board.

We're gettin close!

bluezboy · « **Reply #61 on:** October 22, 2012, 03:54:19 PM »

That would great if Blueridge Runner can get GZ, I had planned on doing the exchange on Sunday before I headed back, but my riding schedule is loose and I'm soloing so there's a chance for Saturday for me, but I know I can't make it to Lynchburg and then face a ride from there to ATL the next day, I have to get back here in one piece or my wife will kill me. Keep me posted, Vern

Blueridgerunner · « **Reply #62 on:** October 22, 2012, 04:13:39 PM »

OK, I could pick up in Lynchburg on Saturday and take to Mt. Airy. If I take to Ashville I would keep GZ Sat. Night and go to Ashville on Sunday. Another possibility for Sunday would be Boone on the BRP. Let me know at gary.susan@gmail.com. Cell phone for the weekend 276 229 2126 but coverage can be spotty on Parkway.

Is the one and only GZ that I relayed last year and is a world traveler?

This is the new and improved GZ 2.0! (He's left-handed) GZ 1.0 was right-handed and will be returning from England with SamAuto for a reunion in Valdosta (or Atlanta on the way to Valdosta) at the Manufacturer's Cup motorcycle drags at the South Georgia Motorsports Park the weekend of 11/9 thru 11/11! The MAN Jerry RxMan is flying in for the event and I'll be picking up GZ 2.0 to finish off this year's relay with the Florida leg. Should be quite an event.

Thanks for the help! I think this will work!

70CB750 · « **Reply #64 on:** October 22, 2012, 04:52:23 PM »

Sounds like a plan! My cell is two zero two four one three four zero one five.

Text messaging is the best way to reach me, even with low coverage - which I know skyline drive has.

Blueridgerunner, I will shoot you email tomorrow to establish line of communication.

bluezboy · « **Reply #65 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:08:52 PM »

This will work great for me, I'll email BR about meeting him Sunday in Boone, then I can ride the BRP back home, which is the main reason I'm going that way anyway. Wilbur I hope to finally meet you soon to ride down to Valdosta with you and GZ. I plan on meeting Jerry while he's here at his sister's. I'm glad the planets are aligning for us, good job!

bluezboy · « **Reply #66 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:10:55 PM »

oops, here's my cell 404-552-5155, not sure how the coverage is for Metro/Sprint is up there. I plan on spending the night in Asheville Saturday and then can meet Blue in Boone Sunday. Vern

Vern,
I'll actually be meeting everyone at Valdosta, and definitely looking forward to it too! And drag racing to boot! And intersecting Relays!

And Nitro
And Beer
Did I mention drag racing?

Woo-hoo!

How we doing? Were you guys able to get plans in place?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Blueridgerunner · « **Reply #69 on:** October 25, 2012, 05:56:06 PM »

Well, we have plans in place. But, watching some of the storm forecasts I wonder if there should be a "Plan B" in case things go bad weather-wise?

We'll play it by ear. The forecasts we are getting nearly stalls Sandy (4mph forward progress) today and tomorrow hanging off the coast of Florida before picking up more forward speed and moving on. The forecast tracks seem to track North and East (out to sea) before turning back West with landfall forecast for MD/NJ around Tuesday. Ultimately the decision is up to those of you that are planning to ride and I highly recommend keeping an eye on the sky (and the weather channel!). I think the inland route that has been discussed will be beyond the reach of the storm over the weekend, but please do not take any unnecessary risk if the weather turns bad. We still have one more weekend after this (11/2 thru 11/4) to get "IT" to Atlanta if need be, even if wardenerd has to run "IT" down the coast and I ride up for the handoff somewhere in SC, then delivering to Valdosta the following weekend.

Keep us posted!

That would be great! I would likely return from Valdosta for Florida by mid-day on Sunday, 11/11 (and miss the final rounds...DAMMIT!). Saturday, 11/10, will be an all-day drag-fest at the SGMP Manufacturer's Cup Motorcycle drags!

70CB750 · « **Reply #73 on:** October 26, 2012, 05:19:46 AM »

Based on the weather forecast I should be able to make the delivery on Saturday. Will make the final call tomorrow morning, but so far it is still go for me.

bluezboy · « **Reply #74 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:04:02 AM »

Me and Pandora will be leaving ATL Saturday morning at 7, I', going to pickup up the BRP in Sylva and take it to Asheville and visit some friends, then I'll continue to Hickory where we'll be bedding down at the luxurious Motel 6 for the night. I have a new pair of Tourmaster pants to break in so I should be okay, too bad I don't have electric gloves. I'll text you guys when I'm on the road, ride safe and keep warm! Vern
