Tyler, you're one of the people we look forward to meeting! She loves your ride reports and I told her this could be a one time opportunity. We'll be spending the whole week on 2 wheels!
Just be prepared, if she's at the dinner table with ya, and a couple of cocktails downed... she jus might yell out (at the top of her lungs)....

FYB!

Might scare the ding off your dong! ...JS'
Still makes me laugh at the memory...

P.S. I don't need cocktails to yell that out loud either... :D

Not sure what your plans are for Nashville, but we will probably already be at EOM by the time you come through!

Wife gave me the go ahead over the weekend.
Room booked as of 5 minutes ago. Coming in for Friday and Saturday nights.

This will be the end of our vacation week and we're coming by way of Barber Motorsports Museum in Alabama followed by a couple of days in Nashville, TN and Louisville, KY. Hope no one objects to her Harley!

Hell, they let me show up on a Spyder...

Did you find another one to rent this year? Looking forward to seeing you again and hopefully chatting murte this time.
Working on it... sent emails to two dealers but no response yet... may have to use the old fashioned method and call them!

Speaking of which, does anyone have a personal contact at either Swampfox location (Bluefield or Beckley) that I could name drop with? The other option I've been told is Star City Powersports near Roanoke.

 
Plan on spending Tuesday and Wednesday in Nashville then head to either Louisville or Lexington KY for Thursday. She loves horses and wants to see some of that area since we've never been there before. Riding up to EOM on Friday morning. I figure since she went for the Barber trip and Nashville and EOM. I at least owe her some horsey time. She's looking forward to the trip too though.

Tyler, you might want to try and get a hold of Jim Meadows (spklbuk). He's local to Lewisburg.

He's actually the one who sent me the dealer info via Wayne as to where the dealers were but said he didn't have any direct contact with anyone specific. ;)

 
Beckley is closer to Lewisburg than either of the other 2 locations if that makes any difference to you, Tyler.

 
Check around Shelbyville too (about 50 miles south of Nashville)....that is the home of the Tennessee walking horse.

Depending on what kind of horses she like.... There are plenty of horsey things to do around that area!!!! Louisville has Churchill Downs (Kentucky Derby, eh?). Lexington has the Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland Raceway, and The Red Mile. Peg them on the right day.... Track tours are sometimes offered. Or even racing could be going on. Beautiful area to ride in also!!! Rolling hills of pastures..... *drool*

 
Didn't know Wayne got a new gig. I thought he was retired. Just from the military I guess, not life. I am still up for a low budget show up and ride gig if he is currently overwhelmed. I know how that can be sometimes myself.

It takes more money to keep the wife in horse feed than a military pension will provide......

Sweet! Wife and I look forward to meeting you!
Totally jazzed... I was gonna come out no matter what but being able to ride while there too is just icing on the cake!! Can't wait!!!

*does a little happy dance*
Where are you renting from?
The mgr at Swampfox in Beckley said he had just sold a couple of Spyders to a rental company, Ride On Adventures, in Sutton. He gave me their contact info, I contacted them, and they said they could help me out! B)
