Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Ga Rally '06 - Who from Texas?

It's only 870 miles from Houston, and that's going through Mobile, Al. I'd rather ride north through East Texas, then cut across somehow - I'd figure that out.

Anybody else up for a ride?

Brent was going to attend last year but had to cancel at the last minute... perhaps he could be persuaded to give it another go.

I don't know anything about the GA rally. Is there a link so I can find out more about it?

Yep! matter of fact there is. Go to the top of the page and click on Bonnevilleamerica.com home then look to the left of the page and click on "events". You'll find basic info there such as dates, location and a link for lodging, restaurants and such. While you're there check out "event photos" lot's o' pics from the '04 rally in there.
In '04 we went took a trip down to TMA corporate headquarters in Newnan and did a lot of running the twisties.. we will likely go back down this year if I can iron out some details. We also have a "tech day" where we tinker and tweak bikes, drink beer and generally hang out.
There are a lot of great riding roads in the area so we spend a good bit of time on the highway but still leave time to celebrate life in general and spend time with like- minded folks. Drop me a PM if you have any questions... hope to see you here next year...
Chy

Sounds fantastic! I will definitely plan to attend.

Chy

When are you going to start the "official" thread?

the best vaca time i spend all yr !!!!!! we have other obligations thru the yr with vaca time but GA. is the one i now look forward to and so does Mrs. Newt after being there last yr. its so cool, when the subject of GA. comes up for whatever reason, she starts tellin about Dalonega and the fun she had there. THANX CHY!!!!!! my wife is officialy a convert hahahahahahaha we are BOTH lookin forward to another time with friends (family) in N.GA. rideing some of the sweeeeetest roads in America on an America. we call it the gathering of the America's in GA. when we tell friends hahahahaha

Soon... I've been thinking about doing the Dragon this year, we had a great time when we went and I think a lot of the guys would really enjoy that. It would be way cool if we could do the Dragon and swing back through the Cherohala Skyway... That would be a hard days ride but I might give it a try this spring to see if it can be done.

Chy, dang dad!!!! You are always willing to put yourself out on our behalf.... cause, I know how you hate having to get on your bike and ride around in the mountains :-). You give and give and give..... ride safe... Gordon

I like that idea.
The Cherohala was an incredible ride.

These things I do for you guys.

Thanks for the sacrifice Chy.........is everyone starting to get itchy or what? Five months, what's that? Nada, nothing!!

Lee

Shoot, I might even have to wipe the dust off my scoot for that one :-). I am probably gonna go for a short ride today to check that she still runs..... weather seems nice and the road she beckons...... ride safe.... Gordon

WOW a pre Ga 06 rally for practice! Us Ga folks will go to extremes to demonstrate true southern hospitality!

Hmmm, a pre-rally rally, I could go for that. Maybe a post-rally rally as well. Then there's the NY rally to think about as well.

I'll have to work it out so we can come back down 68 again.. was that not a blast?

Man, you all are going to have to stop this...I'm getting the itch to ride....I can sure go along on any exploring rides, especially since I have the "right bike" now...and Black too....!

Shoot man, if we get a pretty weekend we may just try to squeeze in a winter run.

Sounds good to me...with the help of "Mr Gerbing" all things are possible.

Well heck, If you're gonna force me I guess I'll tag along.
I'll probably have to polish the Red Devil a bit first.

Mike

Okay, I had to cancel last minute last year as well, but I will make it this year.

Shoot Mike, the Cherohala/Dragon circle is just a nice day ride for you.

Chy, considering it is pretty much his back yard, he probably doesn't even change outta his pajamas.... just puts on his boots and rides.... ride safe.... Gordon

There's that red devil!!!!!

Okay somebody help a brother out and post this to the thread, I am sooooo con fused when it comes to putting pictures in the thread... ride safe... Gordon

I'm just a little disappointed - all these posts and only one other Texas rider even replied. I KNOW we have more of these bikes in Texas than that.

Maybe there's another rally that weekend I don't know about?

Hey! that one looks familiar too... man that's twice that's happened today. Almost like I was there or sumpin'.

Gordon, I just caught your post. I resemble that remark!

Mike

WINTER RIDE WINTER RIDE WINTER RIDE..........got a new pair of winter riding gloves for X-mas that I'm just dying to try on guys......

Lee

Did you also get a"sick Boy" parka to keep the rest of you warm..... G...

I may be able to make this one, despite my goofy work schedule. H.P.

It doesn't look good for me - really not for the next 3 years. Kid's graduations are going to be an ISSUE!

Things could be worse. Thanks for reviving this thread, H.P.. I'm still amazed that no other Texas riders respaonded or seem interested. Of all the rides - this one sounds like the ONE I want to make.

Well that sucks Keith.

Man, you said it. Our host Chy is one of the best guys ever. Just to meet him is worth a 1000 mile ride. And Di? All I can say is you are a VERY lucky man Chy!! God bless you Di, see you soon.

The rides? Shoot, that's God's country up there. There's only a few of those places on the planet.

The people? You get to meet, ride with, drink with, and bullshite with some of these chuckleheads that you 'talk' to here. Now, how cool is that?

This is the 3rd time we are doing this and it keeps getting better and better. I feel for you buddy and we will hoist a beer or two to ya!!
