jtb · « **Reply #51 on:** September 19, 2011, 07:02:24 PM »

2 or 3 hours, maybe. Include AL 25, from Leeds to Vincent, one of the best roads in the state. If enough are interested, we'll do something, maybe get some lunch, too.

Count me in for ride, i'll need to get away from the crowd a few times.

Got a group coming down on Friday from Nashville. Trying to get a head-count now but I think there's like 7 or 8 of us. Spots reserved in Lot C.

If I can get with Ray this weekend or early next week I'll be on the 750! Otherwise it's the KZ which is currently in the shop for new fork seals/neck bearings/wheel bearings.

Tugboat · « **Reply #55 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:18:45 AM »

Also, I seem to recall from last year that they'd let more than 2 bikes "share" a camping spot. Is that still the case? 'Cause they're all sold out.

Trav-i · « **Reply #56 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:39:33 AM »

I would think they would still allow more then one person per camp site. That's what Chris and I are gonna do.

Tugboat · « **Reply #57 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:47:40 AM »

Well I know they'll let at least two, but I thought they'd let up to 4 bikes to one spot? I just emailed 'em - we'll see.

jtb · « **Reply #58 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:48:41 PM »

If you need to park a bike somewhere else, the club tent have some security, and I can make sure you can get a spot at ours.

Bluto · « **Reply #59 on:** September 23, 2011, 03:32:06 PM »

I don't remember them enforcing any rules other than getting in the main gate.(well.....there was that incident with Travis and the dynamite.....I think they dropped the charges though..)

I have a campsite reserved in C and it's just me and 1 bike. Cmon down.......i think it'll all work out

I decided to wuss out and get a hotel. I don't like to pack a bunch of crap and I started thinking about extra crap I'd have to strap on (heh heh

) if I camped out there. So, I've got a pass to area B if anyone wants it. I'll probably be getting into the area early Friday morning.

I don't know about you guys but I can't wait. On a side note, did anyone else catch the old planes that flew over last year? What the hell was that all about? Cool as hell though.

Trav-i · « **Reply #61 on:** September 30, 2011, 06:06:15 AM »

FIW, the planes were part of an acrobatic flying group that put on shows. They're gonna be there again this year.

Bluto · « **Reply #62 on:** October 03, 2011, 05:58:58 AM »

Let's get some plans firmed up for this week. What I know so far......Bart is coming to my house Wednesday Eve. and crashing. Travis and Chris...Do ya'll want to meet at my house for departure? What time?...........Has anyone heard from Ray? If he is still wanting to meet us...The Varsity (Downtown) would probably be a good spot. Gotta work out the timing. I figure about 45" - 1 hour from my house to The Varsity (dam weekday morning traffic to be dealt with.............Other than finding Chris some decent scotch......that's all I know. Fill in the blanks.

Cheers,

Bill

Just a heads up for racing fans. Kevin Schwantz will be racing some Manx-Nortons this weekend being brought in from New Zeland by some friends. I will be in the Museum Sat p.m.-Sun a.m. doing the volunteer thang. Great motorcycle centric party in the Lakeview area of southside Saturday night sponsord by Motus motorcycles and next to the hot new restaurant Slice(where the Mc parking is). Unknown Hinson @ zydeco, UAB vs MS ST. Nothing to do in this town at all this weekend.

JTB has my number, lemme know what we can do to enhance the experience. Leeth Grissom(GOATBass)

bluezboy · « **Reply #64 on:** October 04, 2011, 06:48:55 AM »

any Blues clubs nearby that I can attempt to crash the stage and play with them, better yet, if any of you feel like bringing your geetars, we can jam at the track!

GoatBaSS · « **Reply #65 on:** October 04, 2011, 07:33:22 AM »

Moes, (next door to Slice) is a blues venue. Martys. Not sure.... Let me research. A jam would b good

Fabricator · « **Reply #66 on:** October 05, 2011, 03:04:15 AM »

For those wishing to "share" a campsite, the fine folks at Barber offered "tow-vehicle" passes to us last year. That gives you the all-important pass to drive into camp w/o buying a site for each rider. The number of tow vehicle passes per purchased site is the only thing up in the air.

jtb · « **Reply #67 on:** October 05, 2011, 06:00:31 AM »

Looks like a great day for the ride-in tomorrow. I'll be there from 3:00 on, setting up the Dixie Classic tent (over near the wall of death). Bill's got my #.

Spanner 1 · « **Reply #68 on:** October 05, 2011, 06:19:25 AM »

Well, didn't work-out for me to leave on Thurs. so I'll be coming down with the Nashville posse on Fri. morning..... I think it's either 7 or 8 riders, inc. 3 x 750 SOHC's......

Se all y'all on Friday

Just got home with the Nashville crewTugboat and Nash-Dash @ 5:30 pm.... had to fix Tug's bike at Barbers before we left for the 200+ mile ride home !!... His bike died with a dead battery and wasn't charging

. Turned-out to be a bad connection at the rectifier block connector, whew, we were worried there for a while

.......... apart from that it was a knockout weekend of racing, chatting to the large number of SOHC4 members present and the absolute highlight.... 3 laps of the racetrack on my K1 with a load of SOHC4 bikes..... heaven
