Ride to Ripley 2010

Chris near Kansas City · **Posted:** Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:30 pm

Ripley, Tennessee ride is tentatively scheduled for the 2nd weekend in October. In other words, Saturday the 9th, give or take a day or two.

Informal meet and greet.
Women welcome (they smell nice).
This weekend is not about selling parts or working on bikes.
Mostly guys sitting around telling lies.
Nice Super 8 motel with awesome curvy road to Carl's place.
The BBQ Shop in Memphis.

More updates as they are needed.

Wished I could make that one. We are taking a two week trip to Tenn. and watching the NASCAR race at Bristol in August. That will bankrupt my vacation time. I know you guys will have fun.

Certainly hope to be there..
Will be my longest ever ride.. Just about the same distance from one end of the UK to the other (603 miles).
Are we still on for the 9th Oct?
I'll bring the soldering iron ;-)

Hopefully, we may have a room for anyone coming down I81 is welcome to overnight here before the "last leg"

Got all excited when I saw the title of this post thinking I was going to meet up with some other Voyager owners then I read it was Ripley Tennesee and not Ripley Derby England. :oops:

Suzib6sw --- I know we have had a lot of rain over here this year but the old country hasn’t shrunk that much but its still 874 miles from Lands end to John O Groats (I know you said just about the same but 25% out shame on you)
:wink:

Hope you all enjoy your meet

Ride Safe

Hi Mac.. Aha.. i was talking as the crow flies (ahem) ;-)

Know what you mean about the names over here..
Actually.. when you look a the maps, many of the same place names exist over here too even some of the more obscure,
like Swaledale in the Yorkshire dales and Swaledale in Iowa.
Cheers..

Going to make my motel reservations this afternoon. Pam, myself, Rick, and Scott are planning on being there from KC. We're riding down on Thursday and coming home on Sunday.

My plan is to drive down from Michigan on Oct 6 and arrive Ripley the evening of the 7th. Stay until Sunday morning and stop overnight on the road arriving home on Tuesday Oct 12th.

At this time I am not sure if my riding partner (John) will be making the trip, but I will get a two bed room just incase! (same price)

I will am planning to stay off the superslab when where I can.

My plan as it stands now is to ride to Ripley with Jim Loiselle and share the room at the Super 8.
