Title: Barber's Tag Day (Motorcycle)
Post by: N4HHE on September 04, 2020, 06:34:40 PM
After a COVID hiatus Barber's Tag Day resumes 9/5/2020 for cars, 9/12/2020 for motorcycles.

Taking the Tesla 9/5 to meet friends there.

Would take the FJR on 9/12 if others want to go too. Is 116 miles from my home in Madison down I-65. Tried backroads to return in the past, took 4 hours. Quit being fun because there was a lot of stop/go. Roads near Birmingham/Leeds are crowded.

Tesla at Tag Day 9/15/2018

This is one of the routes I have taken to Barbers that avoids much of the in close traffic.

No guarantees about road quality because it has been 4 or 5 years since I have been down that way.

Thanks! In the past my "backroads" route went through Tarrant. Between there and Barbers most everything is 30 MPH heavy traffic 2 lane.

I would like to go to a tag day. I have the tag and all. I just have to much work to do. The holiday kinda packed my up.
