Meeting with grimm on his way to Atlanta.

Grimm, hear's a plan, not the plan, just a plan. Let me know what you think.

and jamesf0622,

I looked again at Google Maps and it looks like where I-85 passes just north of Shorter Ala (East on Montgomery) would be a good place to link up and maybe ride up to Opelika together for breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper, whatever. If you have a better notion, I'm all ears.

The place I'm thinking of is Exit 22, where State Road 93 goes under I-85. I figured we could meet at the bottom (or somewhere close) of the off ramp heading toward Shorter Al (so we can find each other).

Go to my web site to see maps of what I am thinking: http://bltefft.com/link_up_for_grimm.htm

Anyone reading this is welcome, too, just let us know so we can expect you. Oh, yeah, grimm is leaving San Antonio, Tx on 6/11/08.

i checked out the map and that looks like a great meet up spot! we can all ride in to opelika and grab a bite to eat. as the date gets closer we can start to handle the logistics of the meet! my guys and i are also planning on meeting a couple of the louisiana boys on the way up! this trip is gonna kick major ass! we'll be looking for cool places to stop, rest, eat and sleep. any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!

anybody is welcome to hook up for a while! show us some of the sights. my friend keeps talking about the national coondog cemetary. i have no clue where that is, but he's dead set on us checking it out. whatever, as long as we're all together.....

just a forewarning.....we will be quite the motley bunch. it'll be me on my trike, 3 bikes and a '27 t-bucket pulling a small trailer with all our equipment!

grimm, as my time approaches to ride to Tex, I'll get some serious details worked out with you. Don't know the exct date I'm hitting the road, yet. Probably on Wed, March 19th. Gonna take my time and be in Tx by Saturday.

cool. how much free time will you have? let me know when you're free and we can hit up some nice roads!

does your son ride, as well?

there are a few other forum guys around our area. maybe we can get a little forum run happenin.....

btefft · #5 02-14-2008, 12:27 PM

Free time - too soon to tell. If I roll into Tex on Fri, I'd say Sat or Sun would be free.

Hitting some nice roads - that would be nice

Yep, my son Robert (Rob), rides a HD Softail, 1995, I think. He'd probably ride too, but don't know his work schedule at that time.

Meeting some other forum guys, that would be neat - it would be nice to put some faces to names I've been seeing on the forum.

All you guys have a great time. Hopefully me and btefft can meet up in May? Take lots of photos and post 'em!

jamesf0622 · #7 02-14-2008, 08:34 PM

Sounds like a plan. I know there a few other members that are around the Atlanta area. Maybe we can get a small "rally" together!

Yeah, John, we'll have to work out the details for a meet up. Any particular reason for May?

i think that would be an awesome idea! who else is in the atl area? we don't have to stay in atlanta,either. we are pretty flexible on who or what we do.

Hey, grimm, maybe you told me and I forgot - any particular reason you're going to Altanta?

By June, there's no telling how big this "rally" may be.
