All right! Just a month away & looking good to go! I'm gonna cut this one loose. Thank you for stepping up, fellas!
TopDog, You never did let me know if you want me to bring my rig as a secondary vehicle so that someone else could ride along and get either pictures or video of your grandfather riding. Let me know. -Mike
I was in a huntsville poker run a few years ago with my /2 outfit. (Yankee Dog may have been there, dont remember) It was a benefit for a boy with a terminal disease. He wanted to ride in the hack, so of course I took him out in it. I think mom was a little worried, but hey, he wanted to ride! Unfortunately, he died not too long after that. But, I ran into his mom & grandma some time later, they both told me how much he enjoyed it, & how he talked about it afterwards, and had pics stuck up on his wall. if I had known it meant that much to him, I'da dropped by his house for more rides! Anyhow, Im glad your grandad will get his wish. make sure you post a pic of him on here! Doug
I remember that one. I think it was my first poker run with the RR. Good cause, but with a sad ending. Yankee Dog
WOW...what a great bunch of guys. Sorry I'm not closer so I could be part of your Grandfathers memory. Please do post pics for all to see. You all ride safe.
We will be going down I-485 to I-77 South to Columbia. We will be leaving Harrisburg NC about 8am. Should be close to Rock Hill by 8:45 or so, and in Columbia by around 10:00 am. We would love to have more ride along with us. How about an ADV Convoy?? :) Look out for a Black Ural and Blue Aprilia Pegaso 650 (Wife's) going South. Anyone wanting to ride along can call me on my cell @ 704-340-0635. Thanks! Scott & Laura Harrisburg NC
Ohhh, I almost forgot. Topdog may meet us at the rest area by Chester SC on I-77 South Side. Topdog, we should be there around 9:15--9:30 or so. What will you be riding? Scott
I'm riding a Vstrom and my brother is on a Uly. I can't meet at the reststop. I'm looking forward to this. See you on Sunday!!!
All went real well. We rode down and had a 45 miniute ride for TopDog's Dad. We don't have any photos of the day. TopDog and family all had cameras running. We really enjoyed the ride and look forward to doing it again sometime. Scott & Laura
Pics coming soon. I want to Thank Mike and Scott for their help in making my grandfather's wish come true. It really got me thinking of adding a hack to the Strom. I'll get the camera from the wife tonight and post the pics. Thanks Again!!! You guys are awesome!!!! John
Big Mike, My Brother Steven, My Grandfather, and Frank, planning the route. Getting Grandpa settled in the Hack. Mike's rig. Frank's toy. RD350 2 stroke. Me, my mom. and my brother. Ready for take off. Big Mike and my Step Father Glen. We went for a 45 minute circle, rode over a really cool dam at lake Murray, and stayed on the back roads. When we returned we admired the bikes, told some tales, and our new friends head back home. My brother and I also headed back to the ATL as is getting really hot. We got caught in a good lightning storm, but we made it home safe. Thanks Again to everyone that helped out. I know this had to be the best thing that has happened to my Grandfather in a very long time.
