I left Dahlonega about 2:00 a.m. Ga. time, apparently right before the Raj attack. He was out there talking to Keith and Charlie and all as I fired up and left.
I pulled into Tuscaloosa about 5:30 looking for a room, but it must have been graduation weekend and there was no room at the inn - parking lot full, I never stopped the bike. Got my second wind, and never considered stopping again. I lost a good 45 minutes or more in Meridian, as rain was about to hit and I had to find a Walmart and get a dry-bag for my duffle. I killed another hour at the Missippi River crossing at Vicksburg. Beautiful day, and pictures were in order. I felt like spending more time touring the town and battlefield, but that will have to be another time...
I hit Livingston, Tx at 5:30 Texas time, after 845 miles, nearly all of which were at better than 80 mph. Life in the Fast Lane again.
I hate hearing about John, but I'm glad he is okay. Bikes can be replaced. I miss you all already. Had a great time, and can not wait to get back.
It was great meeting Angus, Sandspur, Snows, and JakeShakes, Charlie, Old Roadie, and others for the first time. That's what it's all about!
Thanks again to our hosts Chy and Di, and all who helped to put this on!
Love ya'll. Keep the shiny side up!
