I just read this thread today.
For me it's all about the ride. I just enjoy riding...esp long distance.
I also like the Franklin area because I grew up there...in Sylva about 20 miles away.
This was my second year at the rally and it was great like last year. I have met some wonderful people. Hope to see you all again.
If Tony sets it up I know it will be a great event.
So, with that said I will ride to Franklin or Arkansas.
Setup it up and I will show up.
Let's Ride!
