    SFO 2017 - Input requested

    Excellent input - keep the comments coming, guys and ladies. This is exactly what I was looking for. This will help us hone in on the right weekend and location that works for the masses. At this point, clearly, a repeat of last year is leading the way, which was essentially the consensus...

    Crunched by a Semi

    I'm going to take this post as the "tongue in cheek" comment I hope that it was intended to be. But for the record, the original poster could sue the driver and the company he was driving for at the time of the incident, but not the insurance company. They're not the ones who "wronged" the...

    SFO 2017 - Input requested

    ****Edit**** And the winner is....... Jemison, AL (essentially the same set up as last year - camp at my place and hotel at Clanton Inn, BBQ dinner, shrimp boil, live music, etc....) Oct. 26th thru October 29th - this is the same weekend as last year. Although it was a little warm for our...

    SFO 2016 - Oct. 27th thru Oct. 30th in Jemison, Alabama!

    Craig - I saw the CFO/MOFO dates a couple of weeks ago and was bummed, as I have firm plans for Labor Day weekend already. It's really a shame because I love the idea of moving CFO down to Missouri. I had actually been thinking that we might be able to collaborate on an SFO/CFO joint effort at...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    December 2016 Last year, in December 2015, as I mentioned right at the start of this year in review UncleHud and I had planned to do the "Last Ride of the Year" to the Stagecoach Cafe in Stockton, Alabama. I understood this was a ride that was comprised of some hard core riders from the long...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    November 2016 November was a busy month. I managed to get a day ride in to Selma, AL with my buddy DeShan and then Jim, Doug and his significant other Lorrie, and I went to Helen, GA on a cold mid-November weekend. Fun times were had! Helen, GA

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    October 2016 In late October my wife and I hosted SFO 2016. It was a departure from the past SFO's that have been held in the Ozarks. But attendance had dwindled over the past couple of years and it seemed we needed a change of pace. We had the meet at my property in Jemison, Alabama and...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    September 2016 So that brings us to my favorite time of the year, the Fall season. The colors change from bright green with a few flowers sprinkled in to a full array of "autumnesque" colors, dark yellow, bright yellow, dull red to brilliant plum, drab orange to brilliant orange, all shades of...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    July 2016 - continued.... As Paul Harvey used to say, "And now for the rest of the story" that some of you already know, as I posted a ride report on my Fly and Ride back in July. For those that didn't catch it, here's a little synopsis. When I returned from our trip out West back in early...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    July 2016 In July Mrs. Bandit and I made our way to visit my Aunt Clack and Uncle George in Charleston, WV. We visited with them and enjoyed a 4th of July BBQ and fireworks with them for a couple of days then struck out for Baltimore, where I put Mrs. Bandit on a flight back to Birmingham and...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    Fast forward to May 2016 Although there would be other rides, May would be the month of my "big ride of the year". This one had been in the making for several months and involved four other friends that would make up the "El Durango Cinco". My buddy Jim on the Hondapotamus, along with...

    2016 - All Steak to Stagecoach and the Last Ride of the Year

    Last night I pulled into my garage returning from a 650 mile, two day ride to Stockton, Alabama where I attended the Last Ride of the Year at the Stagecoach Cafe. Just 38 hours prior I had pulled out of that same garage on a brisk cool Alabama morning. The past two days had been filled with...

    Last Ride of the Year: Stagecoach Cafe

    A Look Back: 2016

    I was reflecting on my 2016 riding year a few days ago and thought about posting something similar. It would merely pale to the year you've had Julie! Simply awesome. Ride on girl! Looking forward to crossing paths in 2017.

    SFO 2016 - Oct. 27th thru Oct. 30th in Jemison, Alabama!

    So, we got home this past weekend from an awesome eight day cruise to the Lesser Antillies to finally find the SFO stickers in the mailbox. The design of the sticker was intentionally small so that it could fit on the rear mudflap. Here it is installed on my bike... As I previously noted, I...

    Last Ride of the Year: Stagecoach Cafe

    I'm going to be in Destin for New Year's again this year. But planning on riding the bike down, half assed weather permitting. If so, I'll definitely ease over to Stagecoach on the 30th! Y'all keep me posted if you lock it in.

    SFO 2016 - Oct. 27th thru Oct. 30th in Jemison, Alabama!

    For those patiently awaiting the SFO sticker, I was promised delivery by 11/21 and that didn't happen. Notified the company today and was told they would reprint and send them out expedited. Received word that delivery was now 12/2. Hopefully they'll be waiting on me when we return from the...

    SFO 2016 - Oct. 27th thru Oct. 30th in Jemison, Alabama!

    I posted this in the Home Safe thread and only heard from a couple of people. In the event you haven't seen it - LA2wheeler came up with an idea and wanted to have a sticker to commemorate SFO 2016. I drew it up and have ordered 30 stickers. The stickers are only 1.75 inches in diameter so...
