Hello from Mississippi

[Frank 03]

Just picked up my 2nd s10 yesterday, plan to keep this one (unlike my 1st which I sold to buy a r100gspd). Looking forward to riding it as long as my 73 year old body let's me. Rode it 300 miles home with one gas stop, so I guess it will do!

congrats on your new ride, Frank 03, with a simple hello...

Welcome, I too am a second S10 owner. Should have never sold the first one..

Welcome, from Texas. She had to be on fumes. Even with 50mpg. You must have taken the back roads, and no 70mph highway.

 

[Frank 03]

Thanks everyone. I was mostly on the interstate and 4 lane state roads at elevated speeds, raining and ready to get home. I mentioned a gas stop, the last 197 miles was non stop and the fuel light started blinking about 3 miles from home.

Ooops. I read "without" one gas stop. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

Welcome and congrats from TX. I had to ride mine 300 miles home too recently since there were none in stock localy... great way to bond early.

Frank03, if all goes well and I am able to go . I will (still in planning stage ) inter Mississippi at Natches , and go from there . probably travel the Natches trace across the state to Corinth (Shilo battle field is my turn around destination) then head east and possibly follow the river road to Vicksburg . then its back to Texas . no camping if I do this trip , will be in a hotel each night . other than starting in Natches my plans and daily destinations are fluid . my bike is ready ,now its get me ready.

The trace and shiloh battlefield are definitely worthwhile. You might consider continuing a bit further to land between the lakes and exploring there.

I will check it out .... I will have only 7 days to play with , 5 reserved for exploring Mississippi...
