It's at the world famous Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant in Titusville, FL,

Don't miss it. No excuses. More info on the events page.

Please register for this ride to eat so I can keep the restaurant up to date.

See y'all there.

Larry Buck, SE-AAD
 
I'll be there on what should be a familiar looking cycle to Larry. It will be great to see some folks after a long while. Anyone who would like to ride down together I am open to suggestions. Probably be headed from north augusta down toward savannah then hanging a south.

I am in Savannah, there might be a few more going with me. We will keep in touch
 
Sure would be great to see all you knuckleheads again in one place. I'll be out on a long one but will add a few miles just to make this. See some of you at Barber. 😘

I heard a noise, looked in my rear view mirror and saw him coming and sped up, but not before he hit my right side bag. I guess that is what made him go down, but no damage to my bike, and I was on a 2009 C14 at the time.

I tried to do the same thing - speed up - when I was hit from behind. Unfortunately that 40 mph closing speed was hard to accellerate away from. BOOM! 2 totalled connies, 2 hurt coggers. Maybe the c-14's are better at crash avoidance than c-10's... no wait, it's your superior riding skill! (and trust me I mean that).
BTW, he tapped you, but he had already locked his brakes and was crossed up when he made contact.

It might be the C14 has a little more torque than the C10 LOL

Get off your wallets (ie, bring money) for our famous 50/50 raffle - worth every dollar for you and COG.

Keep on registering, more "Bumps" to follow.

Happy Thanksgiving 'yall

Larry
 
Google says I'm coming 505 miles. Who can beat that? unless I'm hauling swag and then I might cage it. .........;-)

(edit: special swag just arrived at my door. Maybe I'll bring just enough for those who signed up so I can ride!... bwahaha!!!)

Sadly, it seems I will not be attending. I wish my COG friends all the best in the coming years. Larry, SISF, SteveJ, et.al. my doors are always open and the (homebrew) beer is cold. TCARS!😉
 
Bummer, Jerry. One of these days we'll get together.

Have a great Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.

Larry
 
thats why im going down a day early.(st. augustine) its too far to drive over 400 miles, eat n greet and drive right back to augusta all in the same day. i'm taking backroads all the way down.
 
I considered riding down to S. GA - N. FL area to visit family & then ride on down for this, but it's very doubtful. Nicole has told me she's hoping to make it & visit with her old COG friends, she just can't post anymore.

Enjoy! :giggle:

Two day event for me too, but only if I drive, which I probably wlll to bring swag. (Depends on how many show up. I've got some bulky stuff that might stretch the bike capability on the way down-hint, hint..). We did the St. Augustine stopover last time we came down. Three days ( five hundred miles) home to Gainesville GA is a bit far for me, especially leaving around 1:30, headed up, if I ride. See you there.
 
I'm picking up 301 in hiltonia and taking it all the way to lawtey fla, 225 to fla16 to world golf village.. leaving round 9 or 10 a.m.
we are meeting at buckee's @ 6:45 sat. and taking the coast down.

Not sure if you know, but Lawtey is a speed trap city, so be careful
 
the hiltonia speedtrap was a police car, next to a liquor store beaming everybody for excessive speed
 
One week out! Please register so I know how much swag to bring. Thanks!
 
crappy georgia weather coming down! my baby will be filthy again.🥺

Good crowd, smaller room but worked ok. It was special for me to be able to see so many longtime friends and do a little bench racing.
Larry Buck and I hatched this ride 20 years ago over a couple of cocktails. It's good to see that it has lasted so long. Marty won the 50/50 raffle and is now financially independent. I may have dragged a few of you to COG, but Larry was my mentor and inspiration into membership and long distance riding. See some of you knuckleheads down the road🖕

Seat looks super nice. I knew you did the other bike's bench but hadn't seen this one yet. Looks incredible. How comfy is it?
And is that a different pillion saddle pack? Looks wider + flatter than the other one we chatted about 6 or 8 weeks back.
