Did people just stop driving in the mountains?

I just moved back down here (Buford area) from Greenville, SC and have been up to Dahlonega/Suches several times now, but would love to get a cruise going with some other Subies. I did some looking but from what I found, no one has said anything about this kind of thing recently. I'm guessing someone may still be interested??

 

Oh yea and I just got new shoes so I am itching to try them out

 

a few make regular runs but you have to submit a resume before going

 

Resume as in I am a 26 yr old mechanical engineer or as in they want to call a few of my buddies and ask them if I know how to drive? Do they want that in MS word or excel, haha?

 

That's reasonable...works out better for everyone not to drive like a wacko. I come from the motorcycle world so I am all about keeping an eye out and using common sense in the twisties! I am gonna try to start coming to some of these dinner get togethers now that I am living down here...so maybe I will meet a few of the folks there?

 

I live up here in the mountains

 

Haha yea, I actually posted on another Dahlonega thread that you had posted in. I am usually around on the weekends and live about 45 min south of that area, so if you or anyone else is interested in a ride or photo/video time, I am up for it

 

excel will be suffice, we will also need a minimum of 3 in car/bike videos spanning a 2 year period (determined by upload date), copies of speeding/reckless driving tickets, list of epic drives, track days, autox and pics of your Hot Wheels/Matchbox collection. You'll have to PM Matt with pics of your wife or girlfriend for approval before posting those.

 

hahahahaha :rofl::rofl:

 

Haha we should be hosting a fall run very soon... Sean?

 

I'm down for setting one up. How about beginning of october for the leaves changing color.

 

I hope I can make it out!

 

Sounds good

 

ohhh.oohhhhh.....can we wait till they start falling so its nice and slick

 

damit I didn't think about that, I was going to say rent a Vespa because you'll have no problem pacing behind all the freaking blue hairs.

 

Then we'll just cruise up and down the road.

That would be fun.

for 1 minute.

 

It just makes it more interesting. I have no problem with rain/fog/salt and gravel ;-)

 

So you can bust your tail on a bike again?

 

so he can have matching wrists

 

Its a trust thing as well. You need to be able to be trusted not to act like a fool. Pushing your limits is a big thing...Some driving skill is wanted because accidents attract LEO, and LEO is not wanted with this kind of stuff lol. Not only that, but if you're behind me and you don't know how to stop your car, I don't want you plowing into me....or I don't want to plow into you because you slid into a tree in a corner and bounced back into the road.

So yeah, I guess it all comes down to knowing your limits. Have fun, but be safe. Drive at 7/10ths

 

I'll let you show us how its done. Clearly your gravel skills are much better than mine.

 

I'll pass on that. Been YEARS since I've rode gravel on a bike and it was on a dirtbike. Motard I'll bust my butt the first chance I get!

 

slicks on owl shit never work

 

Yeah but you either have to have a huge sack or be a complete idiot to take a motard up to North GA on Slicks.....

I'm going with the huge sack option.

 

You aren't rewarded the huge sack until you do it successfully. So you get a half sack :rofl:

But it's more than I would......gravel on slicks is INSANE!

 

Where do you guys usually take these little drives? I just took my Duc on some nice roads between Chatsworth and Ellijay throudt Ft Mt State park. A good little afternoon trip

 

that and Oktoberfest again...

 

im going up this sunday sometime around 9-10 ish... quick breakfast at the usual awful waffle then on the run after nap. lol
