Folks I have received enough responses to make this a reality!!! The dates will be Aug 17-19 with the ride being on the 18 th. Here are the ride details : We will have breakfast in Franklin at the village Inn, visit the Custom cycle shop, and head out some backroads to Wedowee , Al. From Wedowee we will hit hwy 48 to Lineville Al. In Lineville we will get on hwy 49 and ride it up to hwy 281 which takes us to the highest point in Bama which is Cheaha Mountain. After we tour the roads on the mountain we will return to 281 and head north toward Heflin Al. Near Heflin we pick up 78 for a short while and turn onto hwy 9 to Centre,Al and Cedar bluff ,Al. At Cedar Bluff we stay on Hwy 9 to Gaylesville. From Gaylesville we takehwy 35 to hwy 15 and ride around the rim of the Little River Canyon. It is approximately 15 miles around the canyon and somewhere in those 15 mi. we will turn down into the canyon and check out the River. There will be rest stops and refreshment stops along the whole route. This is Approximately a 165 mile round trip ride. If this is too short we could ride on up to Desoto Falls which tacks on another 20-25 miles. If it is too far I know a shorter way home. On the way back we will stop at Butner's mill for a seafood feast. It is 16.00 per head or you can order off the menu(steaks ,chicken ,hamburger etc.)

Trying to make plans to make it, It looks like a go right now, but still a lot of time between here and there. But unless something changes, we'll be there, and I'll make her wear shoes LOL

Duke,
Just got one question. Is the Butner's mill dinner at a restaurant that is primarily seafood? I know they have other things on the menu, but my pillion passenger is allergic to seafood. She is concerned about cross-contamination between the steaks, etc. and the seafood. She was wanting to know if they have a menu online she can look at as she doesn't want to break up the fellowship.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug,
I would think that they are like any other resturant as far as the kitchen goes. This place is more like a buffet and they do have a menu also. I know they have steaks, fried chicken , catfish and a buffet table with 6-8 vegetables on it. Its a clean place or I wouldn't eat there.LOL

Thanks Jerry!
I figured it was clean LOL, just didn't know if it was a buffet style like a Golden Corral or like a Ryan's with buffet and menu items. Will let her know. She will be happy now!! :)

Jason:
Need a _huge_ favor!
I have a little gag planned out for the rally, but part of it has fallen through due to some damaged gear....
Any chance you can whip up a Confederate Battle Jack on a Large novelty in time for the rally? Nothing fancy; not a big fan of that wavy stuff anyway--
about like on top of the skull on snorebaby's sig pic (just the flag; not the skull)?
Any chance at all?
If so, let me know, and let me know how much to bring with me ;)
Thanks!
