Our barn raising was this week

As a follow up to the story, here is a couple snaps of our barn's timberframe completely set up (or erected, as they say in the biz...) heh heh... he said wood!

Great!

What a great journal with outstanding photography. Here I sit with my first cup of coffee this morning needing a little motorcycle story to start my day and bang, up comes your journal and I'm right there with you. I really like your writing style and enjoyed the Fla. Pics very much. Ride safe and keep posting these great stories.

Atfter looking at your pictures, I am interested in going next year. How far south would I have to drive to get out of snow before rolling the bike off the trailer and finishing the trip on two wheels?

BUMP

If there's anyone planning a ride to Bike Week, this is the way I usually go.

Beats the dickens out of the slab.

This year?

You are so old and lame that I bet you are flying down and renting a golf cart.

You better not have spoiled it. We usually only see about 6 bikes from Athens to Jacksonville on this route.

If Ian is in the Sprinter he will have a big grin; but no bugs in his teeth. See you guys in Daytona.

I've had a bunch of friends tell me that they've enjoyed this ride, but I think most stick to the expressway and hammer down, much faster.

Ian, we're going to the TT races, since this is brand new do we want tickets in the lower level start/finish or the mid level start/finish? We usually go the the flat track which is outside the stadium.

I would pick the lower level myself to get as close to the track as possible.... but not so close that people walking along the fence block your view.

Haven't been to buy my tickets yet, but it would be **awesome** if they let you sit/stand on the tri-oval right next to the track, like they do with Supercross.

However, I think the speeds are going to be a lot higher on this dirt track.....

Thanks Ian, we haven't been to a race in the stadium except for historic racing and then there were bleachers in the infield.

Fantastic ride review! I travel from Atlanta to Vero Beach a few times each year and I love the backroads of south Georgia and Florida. My goal each trip is to avoid the expressway and turnpike as much as possible and the character of the backroads is amazing! It's a long all-day trip to get there, but the journey is tremendously rewarding!
