Thought I'd post this for any of you Northeast ATL guys (or gals - Sarah) that may be interested...

We're meeting this Sunday at 10:00 am at Golds Gym at the intersection of 29 and Indian Trail. We'll take off from there and probably head up through Gainsville / Cleveland / etc. on 60. If you've got two wheels - you're welcome to join in. See you there...

i live in lawrenceville on SR20 between 316 and I-85... i don't really want to back track, so maybe you guys can meet me as you are heading north (somewhere around the Mall of GA?). i'll try to gather some more riders.... post up if you want to meet.

I'm not sure how many we'll have coming, but yeah - that's on the way, so we could stop if theres a few of you. Let me know where you'll be - what exit, gas station, etc. - and we'll stop and get ya. I think exit 4 off 985 would be the best place going up that way - just post it and we'll go from there.

Is 29 L'Ville Highway? Where is Indian Trail? What's the best way to get there from ITP? I live near the I-85 & Shallowford exit. Is Indian Trail accessible from 85?

Is this the address:

4805 Lawrenceville Hwy Ste 320
Lilburn, GA 30047?

I should have my HID's and the new c/f goodies installed by Sunday and should be up for a ride.

Torque - you live by the movie theater. Yeah, you're not far at all. Go north on 85 till you get to the Indian Trail exit (101). Turn right and go down a couple miles max, till it intersects with US 29 (yeah, this is Lawrenceville highway). If you get to the intersection, you've gone to far because Golds is off to the right before you get to the intersection. There's a side entrance before the intersection, about 150 yards before. Look for the Ripe Tomatoe Cafe or Tomatoe Vine cafe - some cafe with tomatoe in it, turn right just after this. You'll see Golds right in front of you. See you on Sunday!

And yeah - that address looks correct. It's the only Golds in Lilburn I know of.

I saw that too - but it's only scattered showers. We'll still aim for Sunday morning and see what happens. I'll post up early on Sunday morning or Saturday nite if things change. I can't ride till late afternoon on Saturday - but willing to do that too if some of you want to meet up... maybe have a Hooterific evening?

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif No telling what the weather will do, but it looks like the showers aren't s'posed to get here 'til late Sunday or early Monday - and scattered at that.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Saturday night might not be a bad idea!

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif We could do that on top of Sunday. It *is* a holiday weekend, after all!

I'm open for tonite as well - post up and we'll meet up.

We have to be a Shzam's house at 9:30 or so- and I'm meeting a person in Douglasville at 8:15 or so- I can meet you at exit 5 in Ga. It's the first exit- Tallapoosa/Bowdon- there's a pilot gas station on the right at the end of the exit ramp- i'll meet you there at 7:45- OMG that's early- http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif But it'll be worth it- http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif I'll call you tonight(saturday) night to make sure you will be there!!!!!! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I'm out.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Got too into working on the bike and decided to install the aftermarket air box and air tubes along with all the c/f goodies.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif I'll probably get out later in the day.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Guess I'll have to meet up with y'all some other time.

Hey Sarah, Schzam, World 101 and whoever else was on the ride today. I am new to the board and just wanted to say that I enjoyed the ride as was certainly an adventure. I hope that everyone made it back home safely and did not get caught in the rain. Glad that no one got hurt or ticketed although we were close on both.

Lets do it again!

Nope, I was the one on the silver and black Gsxr 1000. By the way, thanks for coming back and looking for me when we went past Richard Russell Parkway. Sorry to hear that you two hit the rain, but at least you were able to get out of it for a while and you made it home safely. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/applause.gif

Yeah - I learned alot today. I've been up there a couple times, but It was neat seeing so many different riding styles. I definitely improved a little. Hey - and that was NOT my yellow bike the fuzzwas referring to - my pegs weren't even scraping on THAT corner... Glad Bama is ok. That could've been a 100 foot drop instead of just 8. Glad we all had fun and didn't get too crazy. Oh - and Sarah - I lied - the perfume chick in the Miata did flash me. Hey - it always pays to look down once in a while as your passing! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif J/K. We've gotta do it again soon.

hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for a great time. I enjoyed riding with almost everyone in the group. I even had fun after my little mudding adventure. Unfortunately I overshot a corner at cheaha yesterday, got in some gravel and hit a curb. Now the bike is terminal for a while. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif

Can't wait to be back up and running and do it again.

yup, i had a blast... i haven't been up there since last summer on my old 97 gsxr600... the group i rode with last year was too crazy for me... they would leave me in the dust... you all were much more responsible and safe http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

thanks for the compliments sarah, but i'm no Mladin http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

one of you mentioned smelling antifreeze when i pulled up to Ryan's Steakhouse... i thought it was just from my spill when i was flushing the radiator a few days before... however, it turns out that i do have a rad leak... went out yesterday and it got worse (steady drip from the bottom of the radiator)... so i'll have to pick up another one before i ride again...

tom, i hope you get the gixxer back together soon...

john, welcome to the board...

rog, thanks for organizing the ride..

everyone else, http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif
