250cc Meet In Franklin GA

[Gadzooks Mike]

I'm looking forward to the shop tour. I just don't want to miss it if I have to drive up that morning.

I'm not really interested in the Custom Bike Shop Tour myself. My idea of custom is to weld up a better mounting system so I can get some bigger boxes mounted on my bike.

I don't like choppers. Never have. Fancy paint looks pretty but I don't want a bike I'm afraid to ride.

Anyone know the northern most point of the ride?

Trigoss and I will probably come down on our own on Saturday and meet everyone for breakfast.
Then, as we are mid-ride, we'll find the northern most part of our loop and branch off on our way back home.

Knowing the northern point will let me map out our route back.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Jonathan, Check your PMs. I sent you the organizers contact info.

[jonathan180iq]

" The northern most point will be just east of Ft . Payne ,Al(not far from I-59 and hwy 11 runs parallel ) and just west of Summerville , Ga.( Hwy 27 runs north and south)
If you need more info you can call me at home ***********************

Based on the direction that you've seen here, I made a Google map so we can get a good visual of what the ride will entail.
I'll be breaking off from the group around Ft. Payne, AL. for my ride back home.

I hope this link works. I tried to simply paste the photo but it wouldn't let me save it as an image.
