9/11 NC back home to houston...
 

meeting up w/ CastorTroy in Greensboro, pickin up a new bike, '08 'busa WOOWOO

1100mi ~2days

any places i should visit along the way back?

only have 2 days really so it can't be way off the beatin path.

deals gap

Except I would recommend checking out Blue Ridge Parkway before going down to Asheville.

how long to get deals gap from greensboro?

~263mi

sounds like i need to head that way.

unforn. won't be able to spend to much time there.

yeah, but you still get to check it out. Make sure you take 28 from 74 through fontana, don't take 129 from 74.

looking at trip's map... it'll be faster to go down to birmingham, montogomery, down to Mobile... and over... rather than down through hattiesburg. just fyi

It's not. It's faster to go to hattiesburg. I have tried both on my way to New Orleans. Now if he wanted to visit you, he could go that route.

cool, good to know.

depends on what time you go through... it's 10 min faster to go through hattiesburg from your place to mine... BUT through hattiesburg and after you have lots of lights. not so the other way.

I am pretty sure he is taking interstate, so lights aren't an issue.

yeah i plan to stay on I-state after deals gap, NOW.

BTW it's 697 miles through hattiesburg vs 753 through mobile from birmingham to richmond. It's a 50 mile difference. Plus you don't have much city traffic through hattiesburg.

Are you trying to go to his house or yours?

ahh didn't see that 59 runs south out of hattiesburg... as I would take hwy 49

yeah that would be faster

oh ok, yeah 59 takes me to almost New Orleans never leaving the interstate, meets up with I-10.

Dude...the WERA nationals are at Barber that weekend, and we'll be there. :D Make Birmingham a planned stop on Sunday. :) As far as the Gap goes, Troy will know all the routes and all the good roads.

Barber (Glad Trip recommended it when I was in shitville, it was freakin' awesome).

Yeah, that place is moto heaven. It would be real heaven if they let you take the bikes out on the track. :lol:

:lol: true

Judging from your record... They're making a smart decision.lol

yeah, been to barber 2x, 1 of them to watch the AMA's, would love to drop by, but really don't have the time......

:lol: true. Maybe in the dry I could have a better record.

Depending on how you could back, it could be on the way. Stop off for a few hours, enjoy some awesome racing, then hit the road again. Come over into the paddock and hang out and I'll have a cold water or coke for ya. :)

oh so tempting.........PM me your # and i'll see what i can do......:)

I ride an 08. You have enough time.:rockwoot:
