I already know how to say y'all and all y'all from my Okie days, so I got me a head start.

And I'm not above calling people "them Yankee *******s!"...so hopefully that will work on my side.

However, my teeth need a little yellowing, I'm rusty on my tobacco spitting, and my banjo needs some work...otherwise I'm good.
Ahhhh...good ole stereotypes. Whats not to love? LOL!
Hey, I was being serious. My banjo DOES need work!

Recently found out one branch of the family tree comes from 'Ol Virginia and was a doctor during the civil war...so he must have been good with a limb saw.

Seriously though, I was born in Kali and raised in the Midwest...so I'm in a heap of trouble. But I don't mind acclimatin' to the shorter winters and awesome roads. Heck, right now I have to travel about 175 miles just to get to an hours worth of curves.

But I'll just shut my blueberry pie hole now, this thread is obviously more than about people moving...it's about looking back and looking forward.
You guys are what makes the thread....take it where it wants to go :)

 
I'd like to earn an IBA number in 2014.I'd like to see the western part of the country.
Follow me to Moonshine , Chuck. Easy cert. minimal paperwork, and there should be a start point in Atlanta.

Site still waiting for updates for 2014, may see some new routes added but I don't expect any of the old ones will be changed.

All that's needed are receipts. Turn in your receipts and get your odometer checked at the finish. Just be sure that you get good receipts date, time, location, and record your odometer reading on the receipt.

 
Reflecting back- most miles ridden in a single year without hitting any critters I couldn't eat in one sitting.

Looking forward- stopping by Wheaties new southern digs, drinking all his beer and peeing on the lawn.

Just trying to fit in...

Looking back over the year, I DID IT. I reached a major milestone this summer when I completed my dream ride with a 50cc IBA run across this nation. From San Diego to Jacksonville, Fla in 48 1/2 hours. The dream to take that ride needed to happen while I still had the stamina to do so (as I said in my ride report on that journey CLICKY).

I just got my "numbers" back from the doctor. Looks like my Leukemia is progressing slowly just as he figured it would. Not sure when it will reach the point where I'll be told that I can't ride any more, but at least I'm not there yet. And until that day comes, I have a lot of riding to do - 2014: here I come.

Looking back....2013 was a change in riding goals with more emphasis on quality than quantity but turned out to be a personal record in miles ridden, overnight trips, and fun.

Looking forward to 2014.....DO IT AGAIN, emphasis on Quality, let quantity take care of itself.

2013 was good, met up with a lot of friends I made over the years and hope 2014 will let me see many of them again and hope to add friends to that group..
