What's the riding event in Nashville?

If you are leaving out of Nashville Sunday at 7 or 8 and you have to be in NJ by 9 the next morning you'll be hard pressed to make that trip on time in any vehicle. Would be faster in a car since you don't have to stop for gas as often.

I am doing security at a Dierks Bentley charity ride/concert out of HD Columbia. Probably gonna be around a few thousand bikes as long as the weather is ok. The ride down was what I really wanted to do on the bike, the ride home is very tight with time so I wanted to drive. I have a 35 gallng tank in my truck so I would really only have to stop once, maybe twice at the most

Obviously more fun on the bike. Probably safer driving the truck. Decisions decisions.

If it was my decision to make I would probably go the safe route. Sucks but you're going there to do some work, not enjoy the festivities. Sorry.
