Savannah Rally XIV on Tybee Island Dec 5-6-7

[ertman110]

I might ride up to Macon and meet you guys coming out of ATL, What time do you think that you might be in Macon?

[Stixx]

Well its about an hour and half away and we should leave by ten from tucker on the Northeast side of the perimeter. We'd be coming down 675 and hitting Macon with no hold ups in about 11:30 or less. At least that's the plan so far.

[ertman110]

I guess as time gets nearer, we ought to decide on a place to meet in Macon. I am partial to the Hooters off Riverside Drive.

It would be good if it worked out for lunch on I 16 to minimize the delay in getting on down there. Is there a particular exit that has close by fast food on 16 near Macon that you are aware of . I have a bluetooth phone on my GPS and someone could call me while we are under way but I don't wish to get into a contracted off excurson on the way down. Let's see what the Bandit says as well. A fuel stop , fast food type of thing would be less delay on the way down in my view.

Anyway I'm open to something like that FWIW

[Stixx]

I just did Google Earth and there is a bunch of fast food at the first exit past the 75 / 16 split and it looked like spring street is where you land when you take that exit and it had subway which is quick and not too filling. Also Checkers Burger place and others . That would certainly be convenient and about 11:30 in the day which probably is not too early for lunch for those of us who get up early.

I will check and see about fuel there as well though I would not be needing any as yet there others might.

The Spring Stret exit looks good, got a Subway on the northside of the river and a BK Steakhouse on the other side.

Been a couple years since I have been to Savannah and Tybee...
Was back in '04, lots of changes since I was there the first time.
Was stationed at Hunter AFB in the mid '60's, absolutely loved that
area...

You can doiiitttttt

Man , matching ST 1300's not to shabb-aye.......... I take it you are heading down as well.

Everything sounds fine to me. The only thing I'm picky is what gas I put in the bike - I don't care about me - hence the rather large, large need for some new gear:). Way back when I tested the stations around Macon and all had quality gas except for one na dI think they pulled the tanks and redid it.

Let's ride.

[Stixx]

I like Shell and QT but I'll use whatever is available in a pinch . LOL  

[Ga-Bandit]

It's official. I have the day off.

Glad to see y'all are coming down and Frank I ride an SV also so they will have something to talk about  

  I don't care what any of these guys say about........ Oh, you meant our bikes!    

 Thanks all for the invites. I'm still not sure if I will be able to come or not.  Probably will not know until after Thanksgiving.  We are going to Charlotte to visit the in laws.  Good people and great food, but we'll be staying in a hotel this time. Might be two or more nights, so I'm not sure if I'll have the money for a hotel for this trip.  We will see.  I'm going to try to go though. If anything, ride down early Saturday morning for the festivities.   Will post back and I'll try to check more often on here.  I've been looking for warmer riding gear and maybe some bags. Not to mention other "stuff" for the SV!    Plus, I just bought a 1991 RX7 Convertible with some running usues, so, I've been a bit wrapped up on the RX7 site.

BTW:  Are you on sv-portal.com?  I noticed your SV1000 S ends in a "T".  I've been thinking of turning mine into a Sport Tourer also.  What luggage did you go with?  Any mods?  Talk to man, talk to me!!  You can PM me if you'd like.  We don't want to jack the thread!    C'yaz

 Take Care & Keep 'em Shiny Side Up!

Well, register then, it's free and you don't get spammed on any of the ones below(a concern of mine). They're a great group of people and each has it's unique flavor.


If you decide not to register you can see me easily. I'll be on the Black Bandit w/ bags in Gray Joe Rocket w/ red/white helmet...or I might take that red spidi summer jacket just to look as good as you on that blue bandit one of yours:)...wait who said they had a blue one? I dunno....got to go look.
Do you belong to any of the other forums?
