Hello efferbuddy,
I've just sent out the final update for the rally but of course I didn't say everything I wanted to say Met some nice folks over at Machines in Motion in Cumming on Saturday.. Myra and Eddy. They are a Suzuki and Ridley dealer (and sumpin' else?) anyway.. they'll be receiving their first shipment of Triumphs before long making them very cool in my book... and my new best friends. I've invited them out to ride with us so we may have some fresh meat.. er I mean new members show up. This year looks like the biggest ever if everyone shows.. it's gonna be a great weekend and a must see so bring your cameras. T-shirts should be ready this week (sorry.. no pockets) thanks again to Brent. Allrighty then... we'll be seeing ya'll soon.. anything I can do just call me, everyone should have my #.
Hey ya'll!...
Get used to it, that's how we talk where you're fixin' ta go.
Well it's down to 15 days and a wake up, (old army term), then it's GEORGIA RALLY '06! Time is really flying by as I rush around trying to get all those things done that I had successfully put off till now. Jeeez... these things I do for you guys....
I talked to Peter today.. Triumph Peter that is... he said he was looking forward to seeing us roll in on Friday. Touched base with the guy at Coweta Customs too.. gave him fair warning, hey.. they love us.. they just won't admit it.
What to expect? You'll get to meet Peter Carleo, customer service rep and pretty cool guy and pretty much just grab some pix and rattle their windows... literally... trust me, it's worth the ride just to make bunches of noise in front of the building. Okay, okay so my neck is just a bit red but that's just plain good fun.
We'll stop by Coweta County Cycles on the way out, probably hang out untill lunch time and maybe see if they have a Scrambler.. I'd like to check one of those out up close. Peter said they didn't have one there at corporate so maybe they will have one at CCC.
We'll eat lunch in Newnan, there are tons of places to eat really close by so we'll grab some food and rendezvous back at CCC to head for home from there. Hopefully we'll get lucky and miss the bulk of the traffic around Atlanta which should put us back in Dahlonega mid afternoon...ish...
Then it's Tech Time!.... Pat is going to single handedly install a Wiesco big bore kit in Bennys bike.. yeah~! in Bennys dreams, but I'm sure we can find some victims.. er subjects who will let us poke and prod their machines. The rest of us of course will stand around nodding knowingly.
We've got a res at El McGuays mexican restaurant just off the square at 7:00 p.m. ... good food... good people. Cinco de Mayo and they'll be celebrating so good timing on our part.
Saturday is a surprise... even to me... no seriously I've got a few plans in mind but I promise lot's of twisties and mountain scenery. Saturday night will be at home base, time to socialize and feast as some of us prepare for the long journey home. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for good weather and keep the rubber side down. Di and I are really looking forward to seeing you all, friends old and new.. well Di did kinda scream and go running through the house when I told her there were only 15 days left till the rally. But she's okay now....
