AL/GA Thursday group

[ngarider]

Anyone planning on joining the AL/GA caravan to EOM have a radio for bike-to-bike? Mine isn't compatible with others (Kenwood TK-3200 series). I've got a single pin cable for Motorola/Cobra to Autocom that I used a long time ago, but the radios themselves got sold.

Be nice if we had some bike-to-bike for gas stops, etc,etc.

Anyone?

 

[jwilly]

I'm planning on doing something for 2 way, I open to suggestions? I have several radios I'm looking at purchasing a Starcomm.

Hmm, you have email.

I've got the least amount of range on a tank of gas. When you see a red streak leap from the rear to the front, stop for gas. (And do it quickly before I take the wrong exit an ride 20 miles in a direction that leads nowhere, least of all a gas station.)

Really, I have nothing and will have nothing this go-round. Funding will not permit. I am not even sure if it would be realistically feasible for me, since my wind-protection is minimal.

I have a Chatterbox, And it serves the purpose. Any FRS type will work with it.

 

[gasportrider]

No radio for me either.

Let's set gps fuel mileage guage or odometer resets for near the maximum range of the bike with the shortest range.

This might be a good bladder range anyway!

 

[ngarider]

That's probably Scab. I think average range on his FZ1 is around 140 miles. Jeez. Who's gonna do in-flight refueling for Scabby?

Crap, I think I have the longest arms... :lol: Pull up here Scab, and I'll drop a couple gallons in!

I have 2 radios. havent used them in a while, I never did a hookup on the bike for them.

If use guys need a radio, I can supply it (well 2 any way)

Six, man, six! FZ-6! I'm usually pulling about 51 MPG on the slab. Less if we're spanking twisties. A safe, can be met at any time range: 180 miles. Slab range: 200 miles.

It might go a tad farther, but I've not pushed it.

 

[gasportrider]

Cool. 180 miles is a great max target range. I noted that some of the areas along our proposed routes are VERY rural. Gas stops near the 150 to 180 mile range will probably be a great idea. I confess to not being a good siphon guy right up front. I don't push either!

I think we'll enjoy more frequent stops later in the day anyway.

 

[ngarider]

Which route are you looking at bud?

 

[gasportrider]

I'm looking at the one where goats and pigs replace the waypoint flags!. No criticism implied. I liked the route.

I think it is route 1 that turns east and has Highway 83 as the crookedest line between 2 points.

Looks like big fun!! :yahoo:

 

[HaulinAshe]

GF and my daughter will be caging their way along the slabs. So if you guys will share, perhaps I can rendezvous along the way up Thursday.

 

[jwilly]

Once we decide on our route I will shoot it over to ya.

We going to meet around Chattanooga again?

 

[ngarider]

If we go with one of my routes, no. Jason and I agreed to stay off the slab for pretty much the whole trip up to Lewisburg. The plan is to get a nice early start.

We were off the slab last year

 

[ngarider]

Of course, what was I thinking. Right now, I'm looking at heading up from Marietta and going into NC. Shoot me a PM, we'll work something out for hooking up on Thursday morning.
