D.O.G. Dualsporters Of Georgia

Go ahead and post it. It's not the correct location.

Was I warm?

No

Don't worry, your secret is still safe.

Man the trestle looks fun. I rode across one of the short ones like that on the beltline before it became the Hipster Highway™. Great fun roosting through town!

Flux & SpeedyR & I got out on Sunday for about a half day around Nimblewell & Amicolola. Aside from the first bit being a damn mud bog (vids to follow) and a touch of iced over puddles it was nice. We nearly got our heads taken off on a fast stretch in Dawson forest, though, after (fast straight section after going through the stream.) :eek1 We'd slowed up at that point and I'm glad or we'd be a hood ornament on a Nissan Titan.

Got to see some really cool new stuff I hadn't been on (thanks!) and try out Speedy's new single-use Pirellis. (So *that's* what that was flying off his bike on 400. Knobz. )

Can't wait for it to warm up a bit, and to get some new rubber on the 690--yo Andrew!

Yeah, I've been lazy too. Spent last weekend in SC, then came down with the crud that's been going around. I've got a bunch of bike maintenance to do before March.

C'mon up Jeff- we got em' instock

Just got hold of a DR650 and was looking for some good places to ride, around the Rome area....anybody got some routes or know where I can look to find some, maps, sites, etc.?
Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Buy a copy of the Georgia and Alabama Atlas & Gazetteer (spelling?).

These are detail map books which show the local county and the local unpaved roads. They also show the Nat'l Forest and WMA areas.

Hook a few together and go have an adventure!

That is how 90% of the great rides are put together!

Thanks a bunch, I'll look into getting these or it or whatever I need to find some good adventure type roads.

Looks like all of us in NW GA, NE AL, and SE TN are in for a fun morning.

Yup it was fun, Jeff. Thanks again for lunch. Will work for food lol.

Day started out innocently enough then I got a FB message from Jeff (SpeedyR) that he and Fried Duck were gonna be up this way and wanted to see some good stuff.


SpeedyR throws a little roost. The First Section was SLOPPY. Sloppier than it has been in a LONG time. There is almost no way around the big mudhole after you cross the creek. Fried Duck said I was going forward but sideways much of the time


Why does this always happen?


Fried Duck gives it a go.

Kinda disappointed in my pics as they don't show the depth of those ruts, they could easily swallow a bike whole.

That definitely looked like a sloppy ride!

Hunker down Brown Dog. Tornado warning right on top of you.

Pretty big blow through Rome, it hasn't quite settled down yet, I still I have my helmet and riding gear on.

I heard they had a funnel cloud touch down in Adairsville.

Appears it hit in the 140/75 area. Reports say it leveled at least one house and overturned numerous vehicles, including a big rig.

The news is showing that it hit the Daki plant, which produces parts for heavy equipment. It looks like it tore through the plant and parking lot.
