Charlotte: Ride Planning, 3rd Thursday Pizza-Meet and General Hooliganism

+1 Well said, Evan. Beaver Island indeed...

Also, right at this moment I am 90 minutes into a 2 hour conference call where my presence, but not my involvement, is required. I have staved off boredom by creating a logo for my biker gang...



Anyone who's tolerated riding with me on an overnight trip or outside the US is automatically a member, like it or not.

Wow Joe, we need patches.

Let me get to a final version and I will certainly order some stickers!

I just zoomed in on Google Maps between Kittery, ME and Portsmouth, NH and it's actually named Badger Island. Can someone confirm? Because if that's correct then that right there is FUNNY.

Joe

Oh no. It can't be.

I've been up there in Kittery ME. I may actually have pictures of aforementioned island.

I am planning on going but haven't signed up yet..... We'll see how he schedule pans out

I really thought it was Beaver Island. One track mind, I guess.

In fact, the "2nd Cousins of Anarchy" Biker Gang has dual headquarters - one in Margaritaville and one on Beaver Island.

Joe

And just west of Beaver Pond...

I hear that particular Beaver Pond is DEEEP.












That is all I got...I will show myself out.....

Was good seeing everyone last week. Maffud that dual sport ride in January definitely looks like a good time. Might have to plan on that one.

Real men do their own maintenance, right?

A couple more conference calls and now the logo is finished! So... where can I get stickers made locally?

Here's the info on a place my company uses:

Andark Graphics

The fine folks at Carolina Adventure Cycles just spooned a fresh set of Michelin Anakee IIIs on my V-Strom:



While the wheels were off, they installed a new drive chain and sprockets:



And installed new rear brake pads:



My V-Strom is ready for a Saddle Sore 1000.

Charlotte to Jacksonville to Tallahassee to Atlanta to Charlotte. 1057 Miles; 15 hours and 21 minutes.

Maps can only lead to conjecture...

But seriously.... 3 questions:

A) How would you feel about a Bun Burner 1500 (36-hour time limit) instead?

B) When would you propose this little ride take place?

C) I've long said that Atlanta has worse traffic than LA or Chicago - would you plan to slip through there at night?

I'm in for any kind of IBA challenge permitting it's a weekend and/or bank holiday endeavor.

Here's the video I just wrapped up with GoPro footage from our first day of the Lobster Run a few weeks ago. Tried to keep it interesting.
