Count me as tentative. If I can get off work that Friday I should be able to make it. Assuming you got parking space?  I'd most likely bring my DR 350 up in the back of the pickup as opposed to riding the 1190.

I am thinking I will try to make it if I still have my WR by then. I just put it up for sale ($2,300 if you want it)

Anyone coming from near Scottsboro? I don't have a truck.

If I sell the WR, there isn't much I can do as the V Strom is all street, no dirt. If I ride the WR, it would be nice to trailer it. Also, it will just be day trip rides right? The WR can't carry anything for overnight (again why i want to trailer.)

Thanks guys.

I'm in Paint Rock Valley. I plan to haul my bike over on Saturday morning and come back on Saturday afternoon/evening. You're welcome to ride with me if you want.

Thanks jrobinson. I will let you know. a Saturday trip would probably work best for me anyhow.
This is still dependent on still having the WR. I have only had one good potential buyer, but he is supposed to come check out the bike next weekend. Fingers crossed.

Breakfast 7:30is.....KSU 9am......

Still haven't pinned down the exact route just yet.  It may depend on the weather more than anything else...

No matter the route, it'll be good fun with good people.

Okay I still have the WR so I should be coming to this. I have a couple of friends that are interested too.
What is the plan Saturday morning? I know kick stands are up at 9, but do we have to do a good bit of pavement riding to get to the trails? Only street legal bikes right? (As in no 4 wheelers or off road only bikes.)
How long will we be out riding? Do we eat lunch while out?

Looking forward to this!

Reckon we could take the group around the Flint Creek trail in Bankhead?  It's $3, or is it $5 :thinking-022:...anyway.  Nothing in the trail is to difficult.

We could go by there, let those that want to do the loop could, the rest could, possibly, ride some of the other local dirt roads around.

Y'all that have ridden it before, give me some feedback.

Like I said, it's not a very difficult trail, I rode it 2-up on a worn out KLR...how difficult could it be? :cool08:

And I think John and Paula Alderman rode part of it in their Ural sidecar rig....BIG FUN there. :DANCING-banana-032:

Must be tagged and registered....  We'll eat lunch out, Chef Troys Talk of the Town, in Houston, more than likely.
