Tbone9191 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Anyone ever taken this trip? Looking for route ideas and places to see. Taking bike trip in April for vacation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Make sure you waypoint some Walmarts into your route so your gay ass doesn't run out of hairgel and manpons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) you can take the dixie highway all the way down, it is way more scenic then 75, and although it'll take you longer it's gonna be easier for you to maintain your gheyness level for jagr's amusement.... seriously US 23 or us 19 would be awesome and would put you down there in 2 days (stopping and resting along the way) and allow you to go thru some pretty cool areas...

BennettR32 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have heard its not a fun trip, long and once you get there you dont want to ride back. Had 2 friends who did it last year, if you go in a group it could be fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Going down on vacation and to see my family. No one to ride with unfortunately. Would be better I am sure but who rides to FL without a reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Let us know when in April you are doing this. I'm sure a few of us will ride down to the river with you to see you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Leaving the morning of April 10th. Let me know if anyone is interested.

jagr Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The 10th is a Saturday so it's a possibility for me unless I have towork. I'll ask phop, Oomp and some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granda080 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The furthest I've ridden was to Wilmington, NC. A buddy and I made that trip in a day. I found it enjoyable on my fizz and would love to do it again. He, however, had a hell of a time on his vulcan and swore he would never do a ride that far again. I suppose it's in the rider and the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbone9191 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 thinking about hitting up the tail of the dragon on this trip... any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah. You should prolly start a new thread about Da Dragon. I don't think we have ANY threads about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I don't mean to dissuade you, but it's going to be tough to pack proper gear for that trip in April.You might leave OH with snow flurries, and end up in pretty damn hot weather by the time you get to FL. It prevents some interesting packing challenges, getting un-dressed on the way down, and adding layers on the way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 depending on how things work with my schedule, I might have the opportunity to ride with you til georgia. My cousin is having graduation in april, but not sure exactly when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Listen here JAGr ! No I agree there were a few but I couldn't find any with places to see along the wAy. With all do respect, Dick! Remember I am saying with all do respect here. U should come with though for real. Would be a good time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Well just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I did it once and rode mostly back roads to Atlanta where I stayed overnight. The next day, I just hauled on I-75.Overall, I'd say it sucked and wouldn't do it again. Just wasn't that much fun and riding in Florida really sucks balls. Shitloads of cops there and we couldn't find a single curve...anywhere.On the plus side, ya can't beat fresh fish right off the boat for dinner each night. It's Florida's only reason for existing.Have some pics somewhere if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I know a few people had talked about riding along. Anyone welcome to ride along for as long as u would like. Leaving this Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
