Anybody heading down to Thunder Beach in Panama City Fl this week? We are leaving on Tuesday and going to stay overnight at a buddy's house outside Atlanta Tuesday and riding down Wed. We are staying at the Boardwalk.

We are leaving thursday morning and heading home sunday afternoon.

 

My wife and I along with another couple are leaving ATL on Thursday morning, coming back on Sunday. Looking forward to it. Have heard nothing but good things about this rally.

Should be pretty strong this year with all of the MBBW stuff.

 

Yup thats what I hear too, this rally is supposed a big one.

 

I am hoping to go, depends on the job interview in the morning, If it goes good I am going, if not, I am saving my money. sign of the times. not destitute , and don't want to get there, don't want to be silly with my money.

 

Leaving friday am. Picking up a buddy in Enterprise AL than coming on down. F @$% MB

 

Thats what I am talking about.

I have the tourpak on and the bags are loaded. I gotta work till around noon and we are on the road heading south. Everybody ride safe.

 

Are you working or playing this trip? Been needing some work done but can't find the time.

3 of us are leaving the metropolis of Banks, Alabama Thursday morning. We will be at Ms. Newby's in about 2 hours.

Ride safe.

 

We arrived in PCB around noon on Wed. Not a lot of bikes there yet but there were a lot of vendors setting up. Thursday was the first official day and the number of bikes almost tripled overnight. Still easy to move around. Friday, the bikes doubled and traffic got really heavy. On the way up to the hotel room one of the hotel workers got in the elevator with us with his bicycle and said that was a first. He said he was passing motorcycles and that was the first time he was ever able to move faster than the traffic. I asked him how many years he had been working there and this was his 6th year. He said they have never had a turn out that big and that was on Friday night. Saturday was unbelievable. The vendors were running out of event T's, all sizes. They had the best damn wet tshirt contest I had ever been too and all the bands we heard ROCKED!

Thunder Beach ROCKS!!! Everybody was happy to see us there and I didn't see one biker pulled over by the cops for riding with their LED's on or anything else. This is going to be a really HUGE rally as time goes by. If you are on the fence about going, this is a do not miss rally. Hope to see you a lot of you next year. Next year though I'll be working.

 

BadX...Right on brother ! We (3) arrived thursday around 4pm. Dropped our luggage at the room and headed to Finn's Sandbar across from the Sandpiper Beacon. We had some cold beer and baked cheesy oysters. We went to the Club La Vela events, then The Boardwalk events. Live band Holdcell rocked ! Wet T-shirt contest.

Friday was packed out ! We went to Frank Brown Park for the events there, watched the dudes jump dirt bikes and Globe of Death, fun to watch. The that night was Oxygen and indoor burnouts, titty painting, a live band (Hired Guns) and pole dancing. Saturday was Edgewater events and then Pier Park, we left Tootsie's Orchid Lounge around 2am. It's was insane ! Saturday was our best day.

Left sunday around 11am headed home, made it all the way to just north of Rockford Alabama and got hit by a storm, I was alone by this time as my buddies had went to a different town. I lost sight of the road, had no where to pull off and was down to less than 10 mph when I got hit in the mouth with a limb, I thought it busted my windshield, it almost knocked me off my bike. I could not see past my windshield and was hoping I would not get ran over from behind. The wind was blowing east to west, I couldn't see the stripe in the middle or outside of the road.

I finally seen a Chevron station and pulled in, their power was out. I parked my RK and went inside and took a look at my mouth in the sunglass rack mirror and still had all my teeth, just a fat lip and a red whelp across my face. The rain finally eased about 30 minutes later and I got back on the road and finished the trip home in the rain happy to be alive. There was all sorts of debris in the road, a tree had fell and snapped the powerlines and a power pole that was about 3 miles north of the Chevron.

The whole trip was an adventure all the way til the end. It F'n ROCKED ! Now I gotta clean that Road King up before it starts to rust.
