Transplant from Region 6

long term member, seldom a poster.  been awhile since I have had any activity on the site.

Just moved down from Northern NH to south of Dothan, AL

have not had much seat time since the move, and I guess most of the decent roads are north of Montgomery (2 hours north of me)

Pamama City is about an hour away too....

wife and I are planning to ride down to Thunder at the Beach bike weekend in the beginning of October.

anyone who has any insight to some decent roads close to the Dothan Area, bike nights, rally events,  etc..... please  let me know !

[01YZF6]

anyone ever ride down this way?

If I lived in Dothan AL, I'd be making plans to attend the last round of the AMA motorcycle races at Barber scheduled for the end of this month.
Should be lots of riders there to hook up with.
I wish I could go but with just going to Indy last weekend, and ESTN next weekend, followed by the MSTA Tri-State rally in Dillard GA the next weekend, I'd be pushing my luck here at home to get away the next weekend to Barber.
Their is the Fall Colors MSTA rally in WV the first weekend in October

thanks for the reply Fred....

unfortunately that is 6 hours away and family requirements prevent me from taking 2-3 days off to go enjoy those oh so sweet mountain roads !

Welcome, I'm originally from NE also. You won't miss the frost heaves, or have to wait until May for all the salt/sand to wash away Definitely get up to Barber, the place is a gem, what we should have had instead of NHIS.

hahah !  I did a track day a long time ago at NHIS......  was definitely interesting.....

[bogthing]

Indeed. I was a corner marshal at Bryar/NHIS for years, tough place to race, tough place to work. No worries though, you're in roadracing mecca now.

Is Dothan in northern Alabammy? If so, get yourself to the AMA races (MotoDog and I will be there) as well as the Barber Vintage Festival next month, which is absolutely awesome and should NOT be missed.

south eastern Alabama, 5 minutes from the FL border..  about 5-6 hours of slabbing it to get to  B'ham North unfortunately....

The 5 or 6 hours is worth the tire wear for Barber alone, however leave to go get lunch as the food at the track left a lot to be desired.

Dreamland is close by in Bham.

29 Dreams is a good place to stay near the track as well.
