docc Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 @HRC_V4 . . . If your buddy's name is "Bill", bring him along. TDM are edgy-fringe and he can keep company with our treasured SpineRaider friend: IndianaYamaBill, along with NYHondaScott , but also other "Scotts" like @sctt2525 and PA_baddass-Jackal_Scott and more "Bills" like HotDog&Griso-Ballabio-Norge-Bill (you know who you are. I'm not namin' any names, but his initials are: @Bill Hagan) Some things never change: Get There. Bring Tools. 2 1
HRC_V4 Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 I'll try to bring him next year even though his name is Don, he is in to odd bikes too, he had a CB-1 and an NSR250SP, but now TDM and a couple of VFRs. Going back and forth between the Quota and TDM was strange, very different takes on early adventure bikes. 1
docc Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 He wouldn't be the first odd-Don at a South'n SpineRaid. Pretty jazzed to get eyes on your RedWonders. And lay ears to that sweet Ambassador . . . 1
docc Posted August 31, 2021 Author Posted August 31, 2021 It is going to be interesting just what % of SpineRaiders bring a SpineFrame. Seems their rarity is on the rise. Even at a SpineRaid ! I can say the inaugural South'n Spine Raid, 2004, was 100% SpineFrames (n = 4), but they were "new" bikes back then. As well as unknown quantities at the time . . . 2 1

Still toying with the notion of bringing the Aermacchi. 2

Best to you and your neighbors. It looks like the storm might cause some flooding. 1

There was some lethal flooding here in middle Tennessee a couple weeks ago. Looks like this tropical system is sliding through uneventfully. Plus, it appears someone we know named "Ida" has invited a big blue "H" to come from Manitoba. There are still some things that can cross the Canadian border without asking permission . . . 2
PJPR01 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 The damage from Fred looked really nasty around Cruso area, I saw the Blue Ridge Motorcycle campground got completely washed away...I wanted to visit that on the trip out. I hope they'll rebuild! Hope Tellico and surrounding areas stay clean and rideable for the raid! 1
HRC_V4 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 I'm a couple hours north of Tellico Planes, just some rain and light wind, more rain coming but I think it will be ok, supposed to blow through by tomorrow evening. The nice part is the cooler weather, high 70's Thursday and Friday, time to do some test rides. 1
Bill Hagan Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Learned over on w/g that there is a new Guzzi dealer in the area: https://www.starpowersportstn.com About an hour & a half a way on back(ish) roads. Might stop in on the way down to check out the place. Bill P.S. What's left of Ida is pouring outside just now. Sure glad not riding. 1 1
Randy Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Reservations in for Thurs and Fri nights, only problem is waiting to see if there is a cancellation for Saturday night . Didn't know if I could get the time off until today. 2
HRC_V4 Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Are people showing up on Thursday? I will be on LC on Thursday, so I can run over in the afternoon. 1
