Tennessee HOG rally June 5,6,7. - 5/8/2008 2:28:43 PM    jpdubbs   Posts: 33 Joined: 5/2/2008 Status: offline Going to Tennessee HOG rally and leaving from Chicago. Three seasoend riders looking for the tips that make the trip that much more enjoyable. Two routes in mind, one down the Mississippi to near Memphis and accross to Nashville then to Townsend TN. The other through Indiana and Ohio to a road that connects to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Leaving on May 30 and returning on June 7 or 8th. We also would like to catch up with anyone down there already. Without the people along the way the journey is ............... _____________________________ JPW ''08 RG 105th Post #: 1

You should realize that riding Tn. from West to to East is a long ride at over 400 miles from Memphis to Townsend.  Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ "If it doesn''t make the bike go faster or stop better, it doesn''t belong on the bike" Jesse James (in reply to jpdubbs) Post #: 4

Is that the Mississippi in the back ground? So far 2 votes for the river route. Feed back much appreciated. _____________________________ JPW ''08 RG 105th (in reply to dyna rider) Post #: 5

Just a short local ride. Hope you folks have a great ride down here to the rally.

What kind of pipes you runnin there? I like the black. leeinmemphis, If we go the route of the Mississippi we will be headed through Memphis around that time frame. Would be good to meet up with a group. I'll run it past the other guys. We are all bagger dudes and can hang with the pack or cruise slow and take it all in along the way. John W.
