With the cold snap, the peak on the colors will be just right...if the wind doesn't blow them off first ;)

Are you going to make an appearance?
Will Joe show? :yeah:

[DaveDragon]

I can't wait till this weekend :)
Sue and I are really looking forward to this weekend in the mountains.

As two season Flatlanders (Hurricane and other) the prospect of hills and curves and twisties and changing leaves and campfires is just what we need to re-connect with this wonderful riding community.

My Friend James will be heading over from North Alabama Saturday morning on his ST1300abs for a day of riding with us.

Hope to see you all Friday afternoon!

[Ranger6]

Man, you've had more than your share this season, haven't you? Enough is enough! :mad: I'll hand off the baton to you on the way down. Actually not so...I'm heading down through Alabama.

[DaveDragon]

Sue hit me up last night with "We have to pack tomorrow night, I have so much to do, we ARE taking the trailer RIGHT?"

Yes Baby, LT stands for Luggage Transporter

She is really looking forward to this weekend in the Mountains.

Sue grew up in Pennsylvania and has not watched the leaves change in years; she has been in Florida for 20+ years.



It's going to be a Great Weekend of Riding, tire kicking, leaf watching, fire hugging, libation consumption, Dragon Slaying, Jaw Jacking and Skippy Spotting ;)



We gonna have some fun too :)

[Lynn_Keen]

I've got to stop reading this thread. It makes me jealous. Instead of pack'n the bike for a trip to the mountains I'm gona pile in the cage in a few minutes and head down to Kissimmee to pick up the grandkids so their Momma can get to the hospital and deliver yet another little bundle of joy! Hey, wait a minute. Hav'n another grandkid to spoil might even be better than a trip to the mountains. Just kidding of course. We're pretty excited about this new one joining the family. Just wish the kids would plan a little better so we could do both! :~)

Ride Safe, my friends....

[bob_menton]

Be prepared to dress warm! Snow and ice has already (temporarily) closed sections of the Blue Ridge Pkwy. My guess is that around 10 am, you could see temps in the high 30s F at the higher altitudes on the Cherohala. Think Gerbings!

Bob, you mean that the warm glow of KLT ownership and fellowship wont keep us toasty?

[Ranger6]

Watch out on the Skyway on some of them turns with the ice and snow...there's at least one I know of that stays in the shade most of the day and the ice just won't go away. And no, I'm not telling how I know. :(

[johnrehder]

DAve, Don and all, hope you all have a bunch of fun this weekend. Dave, I'm in Leesburg FL for our companies inventory now. Get to come home Saturday afternoon and spend sunday riding in the mountains hopefully. Ride Safe!

[Ranger6]

If you haven't seen the post about this on the main forum, go to www.killboy.com (http://www.killboy.com/) and check out the poor cornering technique by the LT. This guy is cruising for a bruising.:o Holy cow...talk about not staying in your lane!!

[pkpr1998]

Don, that's right, kick us when were down!

Hey Britt and Al and group, well up at Ironhorse tonight, you know got to make sure everything safe and stuff... going to be good weekend, about 10 folks here tonight, but they are ready for us this weekend..

Hey Britt, I couldn't figure out if that was a warning of falling helmets or what, being on a weather outlook for six days.... anyway folks do be careful...

BTW, I logged on here at Ironhorse, why is my name so large...not that way on my computer, supposed to be script and lot smaller... oh well, getting used to this New and Improved site...

I was freezing up until about Watts Bar Dam then it warmed up. Dragon is fine, leaves are showing but not peak yet. It's nice at the lodge. You all are missing beef stew tonite Yum!! Have a safe drive up - saw quite a few horned rats.

[Lynn_Keen]

The bad news is; I miss being up there enjoying the "cool" weather, the great riding, and most of all the fellowship of some of the best folks a fellow could know. The good, I mean GREAT, news is that we have a brand new member of the Family. Her name is Sierra Gordon, born 10/27. She weighed in at 7# 7" and is 19" tall. The daughter and new baby are do'in fine and should be go'in home today. Hope all you folks enjoy yourself , stay warm, and stay safe. I'm looking forward to joining in on the fun next time around.
