I live in Ft. Rucker do you have time during the week, cuz ill be in ga this weekend.
I'd be down for a trip or something on a weekend. It would be nice to hit the coast. Any ideas?
-ash
DA BEACH!!!!!!
but MOBILE is a good ways out. and so is tallahasee. In opposite directions. (sorry for the geography lesson)
I am in FT. RUCKER too. so THatGuY and I can meet up easy.
ASH and EGaeus will make most the trip solo. that sucks.
Anyone else from the MOBILE or Tallahasee areas?
3imo your from ft. rucker also, thats cool. I work nights so i get most of the day to go riding will you have time to go during the week?
Mornings aren't mine after 8am. I get off at 5pm. regular 8-5 J-O-B.
I am free every afternoon.
I thought I saw a blue GS today. leaving the Daleville gate around 1045. was that you?
I was like " that must be That Guy"
If it was, I saw the monkey suit. I got out in 04'. I am a Bonafide Civilian now, sport'n a beard.
I got nothing better to do. so if you want to meet up let me know.
Na i ride a white and back 06 F im still waiting for the MSF course so i cant ride on post :cry:
White helmet, grey and balck jacket.
how do you get on/off post?
I used a pickup at first. until the class.
I have it parked at my sgt house in daleville
well hey man, I am staying in Enterprise, I take the daleville gate to get on hwy84.
We can meet up after 5pm. if you wanna shakehands.
I am hoping for a trip to the beach one of these days. If we can meet up with ASH and EGaeus and head to the coast, that'd be cool.
Unfortunately I have to be at work at 5 so the handshaking will have to wait until next weekend or so
Alright. heres what I got.
The best place to meet would be DE FUNIAK SPRINGS, FL
distance:
--Rucker 58mi
--Mobile 127mi
--Tallahasee 120mi
There are other chioces but they all leave one person making a longer trip.
MARIANNA
--Rucker 62mi
--Mobile 180mi
--Talla 66mi
Pensacola
--rucker 150mi
--mobile 58mi
--Talla 160+mi
FT. WALTON BEACH
--rucker 122mi
--Mobile 100mi
--Talla 172mi
I've never been but I could make some 411 calls to find an IHOP or someother place we could all meet for Breakfast.
Sit down meet/eat and shake off the first leg of the trip.
Then head south to the coast.
I'd like to wing it from there, but if you know of a good route, bring it.
Count me in for next weekend, I just found out today that it will be a 3 day for me :cheers:
Saturday April 15th? I can commit to that.
I'll see about a place to meet in DE FUNIAK SPRINGS, FL.
ASH? EGAEUS?
sorry ya'll i'll be in new orleans that weekend.
-ash
:o
What's the itenerary? Like all weekend or what. Problem is that I spent all my money on repairs, so I don't have much left for fun. :(
I was thinking we meet in De Funiak Springs and head to the coast. J
ust for Saturday. be back for a late supper.
I don't know the area at all. I usually wing it until I feel like heading home.
Unless you got a plan. we all know how to read a map.
come on man. eat a Ramen noodle for dinner for a week.
I know its a longer trip for you. but if we swing it south you will have a shorter trip home.
My rear tire is showing its age and i was hoping to wear it out on a long trip. Hope you can make it.
Hey i saw a blue gs parked infront of ATB yesterday, was that you?
no I ride a 99' yella beater.
I saw a gs once at a mall in killeen TX. I approached the guy and mentions GSTWIN.com but I think he was all weirded out.
best to let them wander in alone I guess.
I was parked next to a 600rr at the mall in dothan yesterday and the owner found me to ask if I knew anyone who wanted to buy his 05 witch is parked at the lemon lot right now.
Man, I don't know if I'm ready for a 3-400 mile trip. My butt hurts after 40 or so today.
I know the feeling, I just came back from an 800 miler this weekend.
So.. we are a no go at this station.
Whats next? I plan on going to DEALS GAP in JUNE you guys going?
Well im still up for a sat ride, Panama city?
sorry Dude, I thought it was called off. Made plans with the wife and kids.
We can make a short run in the morning around here if ya want. I might be able to get a buddy or two to join us.
Sat morning.
I was thinking here --> http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/al_cr4.html
might be able to get back by 1-2pm - ish.
http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&un=m&cl=EN&ct=NA&rsres=1&1ffi=&1l=&1g=&1pl=&1v=&1n=&2ffi=&2l=&2g=&2pl=&2v=&2n=&1pn=&1a=&1c=&1s=&1z=36362&2pn=&2a=&2c=brewton&2s=al&2z=&r=f
we could take this route almost to Brewton and circle back on 55 then head back to rucker.
it'll be 200-300miles. round trip. 5-6 hrs maybe. be back by 3pm at the latest if we leave at 9am. I'd rather leave 7-8am though.
Im game, Ill see if i can get anyother guys from work in on it too
aw man...its a "scenic route"
I didn't notice. I thought it was twisties. we are better off going to abbeville and back (hwy 27).
I dunno, man LA sucks ass.
do you know of any twisties? I don't know if I am up for a 300mi "scenic" criuse. I ws hoping it'd be more exciting.
any suggestions?
Florida sucks too. I found a few roads locally that might have a few twisties, but nothing spectacular. I'm headed to AR in a few weeks. I'm going to put in some miles in the Ozark Foothills.
another change of plans.
I have allday sat to myself again.
so whats the deally , yo?
Im still down for the saturday trip to the beach
Alright then. You can't ride on post, and your bike is in Daleville. So I guess we meet in daleville Saturday morning?
just let me know Time & Place. I am trying to convince my buddy to go, but he just bought a house and might not make it.
How does the chevron gas station (on 84 neer the post office) at noon sound to you?
noon? I forgot you work nights. is that why? I was thinking earlier, but I guess It would do me good to sleep in.
I don't care Noon is fine by me. but i don't think my freind can join us.
when do you plan on being back?
Did you guys ever get together. I am definitely planning a trip to DeFuniak this summer. Probably a weekend in late May. Going to hit 98 and ride along the coast. My friend and I were talking about it last night after we went riding.
I'll be down for that.
Thatguy1025 and I road down to Vortex springs. I left him there with his freinds, and road solo to Panama city beach.
I just got bach from Panama city last night around 10pm. Man, it gets cold.
Let me know.
I wish i would have went to the beach. Vortex water is balls cold.

Do any of you guys still live in Alabama or all get transfered out? I just got a GS a few weeks ago and would love to find somewhere fun to ride it. Right now I stay on I-10 to the coast guard base and back.
I'm prob. the only one that will respond here I'm a life long lurker. I'm over in Baton Rouge, La now. But I'm always down for a good ride.
-Ash
Cool, do you know of any decent places around lower alabama area to ride? I think I am going to go check out toward the pensacola way this weekend.
I'm still kickin. I haven't been able to log on to the forum for so long, that I just stopped looking.
I am parting out 95 gs. if you need anything let me know.
well i am in panama city beach if anybody ever makes it over this way.

I'm now in Birmingham, 20 minutes from the Barber Motorsports Museum and Race Track, and loving the hills here. If / when a group is put together, please include me in the mass
spamming er, emailing invites.
If you're coming up through B'ham for whatever, holler. I know 3 (ok, a few more) fantastic roads now and working on more weekly :)
Is there someone else in Mobile now? I saw an F outside of Moes today, anybody??
