Is it time to leave yet?

 

Brandonator, if you need a hand with anything I'd be more than happy to help out....I'm SOL till my power commander and other crap arrives, about all I can do is put tape on wheel weights.

[Jester_]

So what's the best way to go down there? Cut through WV?

[TwiztedRabbit]

from Columbus 71 to 75 and 75 ALL THE WAY DOWN.... 12 hrs

[Jester_]

I'm coming from New Waterford, about 20 minutes south of Youngstown. Google says go down past Pittsburgh. Has me at 14.5 hours.

I think HollyMatt and I are getting together at some point. He has to replace a water pump on his bike. I just need to change my oil, go over a few things, and get the trailer loaded up. If you wanna come hang out, maybe turn a wrench, and otherwise just b.s. I'l let you know when we'll be in the garage.

Best part is once in GA, the pavement quality is so great.

Time your drive to avoid Atlanta rush hour as much as possible. You don't want to be anywhere within 30 miles on either side of Atlanta from 4-6 PM.

[RHill]

Looks to be a little over 14 hours whether we go 71-75 or 77.  If we go 75 we are going to have to leave earlier than 6 to avoid Atlanta rush hour.

[TwiztedRabbit]

we usually left at 0430- 0500 and typically miss the bulk of the Atlanta mess.. its hard not to catch some of it.. but never so bad I feel like we lose time

[turnone]

The more I post here the more I wish I was going again and would love to put names with faces.

[TwiztedRabbit]

never helps that is shitty up here either...

So what's stopping you?

Maybe we will shoot to leave at 5 Ryan. That's when I get up for work anyways.

[RHill]

Think we are pretty much screwed with rush hour traffic for Atlanta unless we are leaving at 4-4:30.  It is roughly 11 hrs from Columbiana...add in a half hour for pit stops and we are getting there right as traffic is starting to pick up.  

 

Other option, 77 through the mountains and toll booths puts us through Charlotte in 7.5hrs which wouldn't be an issue.

Get an EZ Pass if you go that way. Saves you $ on each toll booth. Cheap to get.

I drive that way a few times a year and it pays for itself on the savings and faster to get through the tolls.

When are you guys going. I might be able to pull off two days.

I just checked the site and days are available.

[RHill]

We were doing the full 3 days; heading down friday and leaving monday afternoon, possibly stopping for a break on the way back.

 

Matt and Brandon are doing Sunday & Monday, not sure of their travel plans or if their ride filled up.

We can just cut through the mountains, I figure we are only towing 6k at the max anyways. I tow my car through there a few times a year which is about 7k combined on an open trailer but I have never pulled an enclosed through there so that will make it a little more difficult.

 

Il pick up an easy pass.

I WANNA GO NOW!!!!! 

[RHill]

With it being so damn cold, does everyone wait till the last minute to throw the rims/tires on?  I don't want to leave them out in the unheated garage longer than necessary.

[Hollywood33]

Yeah, I keep my wheels inside until it's time to load the trailer.

[TRMN8TR]

Hmm, hopefully I can get back from LA in time to put wheels back on the bike. Otherwise they'll be out in the freezing garage for 3-4 days.

[Hollywood33]

Dude, anything that needs to be done, I can do for you.

Also, this Friday night is bike wrenching night, Ryan.

I've been running a small electric heater in my garage keeping temp around 50F since I don't have coolant in 3 bikes and a stack of race tires.

I have q3s on my wheels now so they have been in the garage all winter, hoping they will be ok. Have a new of 211s in the basement.
