Drift In 15 Route

[Pilgrim]

taken just before Troll runs the camera man over....because we all know, the bike goes where you look.   

[Troll]

Hah... The way I have it routed, I get there at about 10:30 in the morning, ride it both ways, have lunch at the resort...probably buy another t-shirt or something, and then head to Pikeville, ride it one more time North, and should arrive in Pikeville by around 6: pm...

  That last picture is so cool, how did you get the Travelocity Elf to ride your bike up the road like that ......

Well we have a few months to hash out the actual route we will be following......lol.......

[Troll]

There is one thing I see missing from the next Drift-In...the Dragon. Now that I have ridden it twice, I want to do it again.....Sooooo, here's my tentative route to Pikeville. #3 is Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort... it will only add 251 miles to my trip. If I leave a bit early, it won't even effect when I arrive, by too much!

[Troll]

Vegas sounds like a great idea. I love the desert, and Ratman's blood will finally get warmed up to normal temp.

[pcarrell]

They'll meet you in Vegas!

  ok Troll up near the top I said local experts (that would be you) can lead us through their areas.....lol...this is just Micro Soft streets and maps leading us....

ok DGirl, will but the plywood tomorrow and get the living room ready......parking fees are not that bad.....might pay for my gas down and back, oh and rooms perhaps....

ok PC they can met us along the route like 49 is going to do with Bucko......

[pcarrell]

I heard that we have a member or two out in California that want's to be picked up.......

[DriftinGirl]

And why, pray tell, do you have me going over 5000 klicks out of my way?? As it is, it's over 5000 klicks to Pikeville for me, and you want to add 5000 more?? Take a pill, buddy, you need one!! 

OK...so the milage is getting a little high...Ratman how about you throw a couple more sheets of plywood on the living room floor and Fred and I will arrive in the next week or so. We don't eat much so feeding us over the winter shouldn't cost much more than the gas to come east. Then come July, winter projects complete, we should be ready to roll! 

[Troll]

Gotta fix that 7 to 8...you DO NOT WANT TO FOLLOW THAT ROUTE.....believe me , I've done it......NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!

just a tad over 6,470 kms.........

local short cuts are up to the local person on the best route, this is just an idea...lol....

[Troll]

Since he's going to stop here first, I'll persuade him to go through Joliet, instead.... I know about the trick detour now, and we won't end up in Michigan....and I kept the instructions I got from the Michigan welcome center to fix it, just in case.....

[moosewing3]

heck he won't even meet me in Detroit let alone swing down east

[pcarrell]

I think that if Ratman plans on making the 2015 Drift-In, he'd best leave now at this rate!

[DriftinGirl]

If Ratman had a patriotic bone in his body he'd swing east and pick up Fred and I to make a real Canadain addition to the gathering! 

[pcarrell]

If he goes through Detroit, we will never see him again...same with Chicago...best to avoid both of those places by as wide a margin as possible...

Well, that's true!  Thing is, he's already planning on going through Chicago, so I figured if he was insane enough to do that......

[Troll]

[CDNRatMan]

oh and miss Troll and jmbo........

[pcarrell]

Man, that's a long way out of the way when you could just drop through Detroit, head south through Ohio, and boom, you're there!
