If they can turn it around quick enough I may be ok. If not, I am without a bike. Take Izzy. I cant ride anyway. Shit, maybe not a great idea, it's got scary tires for the street. If you have a spare set of tires and wanted to swap them... I still have that set of RoadSmart IIs in the garage, kinda beat up, but still life left for the street.

If I take Izzy, you won't get her back. Count on that. I miss the shit out of that bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'd offer the Connie but there is a chance I might need it. We have alternate plans in place if the weather is shit for the nekid bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am in Tellico for another night. I text you a couple times and got no reply. But here is the same info. Me and @JustinNck1 are planning on trailer our nekid bikes down. We will leave after work Friday(19th) and say in th Super 8 in Erwin, TN then get up semi early Saturday(20th) morning and head to Franklin, NC and plan on staying in the Rodeway Inn for 2 nights. (Sat&Sun) We are planning to meet up with Jim and Joe at Cafe Rel for lunch around 11a-noon on Sat. Probably ride with them Saturday till they head north. Sunday we will probably ride northern GA area. Monday the plan is to ride to Gatlinburg for some BBQ then load up and head home. We are watching the weather closely and if it takes a turn for the worst. We will either can the trailer idea and bring the touring bikes or we have a alt slab trip we may consider on the tour bikes. Also there is a chance if we can leave work a little earlier on Friday we might just roll into Franklin late Friday evening.

ScubaCinci Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Mmmmhmmmmm...I'm prepared though. When I was down on labor day weekend there was a lot of precipitation in the forecast...hit a few spots but otherwise it was beautiful. In the mountains, you never know.

2talltim Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well since our schedules were flexible enough we decided to say fuck Saturdays forecast. We are now bumping everything back a day. We are headed down after work Saturday and took Tuesday off. So we will be down Saturday evening till midday Tuesday. So looks like we will not be around for the dome of hate parade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming in late Thursday and riding down was doable, but with the forecast the following few days....especially Saturday, I may hold off and save the days for better weather. May never come... but 90% chance of rain and temps in the 50s exceeds my threshold for discomfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
