Columbia, SC Area Roll Call
Good to see some activity on this thread again. I like to see pictures of rides. Love the mountains, I can almost feel the cool air and smell the trees and plants in those pictures. Rides like that make good memories and make us glad we have motorcycles. If that feel and smell could be bottled it would put the drug dealers out of business.
Nothing wrong with Bike nights, swapmeets, dinner rides, bike shows and the like. I enjoy kicking tires and talking bikes. I don't belive in drinking a beer until the bike (or Guns if your hunting or shooting) is put up for the day. I have had some close calls through the years that I pulled through only with quick thinking and reflexes. One beer could make the difference between life or death (mine).
Lets plan a lunch ride next weekend. We can be flexable for the weather. Lets tentively set it for Sat. and if it looks like bad weather by Friday we can bump it to Sunday.
We have had people post from all over the state. Lets throw some suggestions out for a place to meet and eat around noon. You can show up at the destination or when its decided see who can meet somewhere and ride in.
Maybe start out with a list of who is interested and where you are at to decide the area where we want to meet. I'm in Pineridge in the West Columbia area so I'm centrally located. This will be a success even if only two of us meet this first time around. Like the two Moto Guzzi riders I met in Utah back in 1979, They told me if two Guzzi riders met it was officially a rally.

We have been trying to do something like this for quite a while now. Everyones schedules are different and it seems difficult to put something togather. Next weekend, We have family comming from yankeeland and they dont ride. Their comming Friday and staying till Monday. I'll surely try to make the next meet n greet tho! Would really like to meet you guys and get our knees in the breeze for a good day.
Im in Northeast Columbia in the Clemson/Farro Rd. area. Anywhere would be fine with me.

I just mentioned this to the wife about next Saturday. Any of you guys have teenage daughters or grandaughters that like to ride? If so, I might still be able to ride with ya but will have my 13 yr old grandaughter with me. She loves to ride and I promised her we would when she comes. Is that alright?

well guys thanks for the info but i just pluged the tire as it may have 1000 miles left. that will give me time to get a new tire and some beads for it. i hate the lead stick ons, they mess up the looks of the rims. would love to go to the meet and great on sat or sun if the wife doesnt have planes for me then.
Looks like a few of us can make it so far. I am going to suggest we ride to Lone Star BBQ for lunch in Santee. It's a nice ride and good food. Classic Eagle bring your Grandaughter, I think she would like Lone Star. They have a variety of home cooked food and she will like the decor. They have family style seating so we can visit while we eat.
How does meeting at 10:15 and leave at 10:30 sound. That would put us there about 11:30 or so. I think Classic Eagle lives east of Columbia. We could meet at I-26 and Hwy 321 at the Pilot station. 277 ends there at 321.
If anyone has another destination in mind I'm open for that too.
