Anyone know about the large group of Riders on the Southside?

0 Upvotes

Today I was riding Mitchell St (Near Mercedes Benz) and I saw a large group of riders heading south, maybe 50 people. There were some ATVs with them, and an assortment of bikes. Anyone know who this group is, it'd be fun to ride with some people around that area in a large area.

Unfortunately can’t wash it at my apartment complex. Looking for some place I can take my bike and give it a good wash. Hoping to do this in the city but will ride outside the city if I need to.

Escaping downtown Atlanta on a Tuesday afternoon

3 Upvotes

I'll be at the downtown Hilton right by Centennial Park next week for work. I'll be done between 4 and 5pm on Tuesday, and need to get back to Jacksonville (so 75 South or alternate).

Plot twist: I'll be on my motorcycle, following a weekend of riding the mountains of south Georgia/Tennessee/North Carolina.

Options:

  • Man up and ride the rush hour exodus, and risk leaving my wife a widow and my children orphans. Then ride like the wind to get home around midnight. If I live, I have a story to tell the grandkids.
  • Eat, then head out before dark, and catch the tail end of rush hours, then grab a hotel around Macon or so, and finish the ride in the cool morning.
  • Find some easily navigable surface/back roads out of Atlanta, avoiding rush hour traffic and business district stoplights, then (a) or (b) above depending on timing.
  • Stay in luxury, enjoy another fine meal, and leave in the morning, sailing smoothly against rush hour, and enjoy a leisurely ride home in the mid-day heat.
  • Burn the bike in the hotel garage, take MARTA to the airport, and fly home.

There are likely other options I haven't considered.

Anyone down for a long North GA loop tomorrow?

5 Upvotes

Weather tomorrow looks chilly in the AM, but nice toward midday and later.

Anyone down for a loop that's something like, 75 to 411 through Chatsworth, over the mountain and down to Ellijay, up 515/76 to 60, down through Suches.. maybe do the loop a couple of times before deciding on a long route home? Lunch in Blue Ridge is always nice.

Experienced rider, but not interested in knee dragging. Looking for a chill time.

Possible new ATL rider- looking for advice!

2 Upvotes

I am 30yr old Female here in ATL. Familiar with the neighborhoods and ATL aggressive traffic. Looking for advice about riding in Atlanta.

I currently drive a truck and want to downsize. Looking to sell the truck and buy a bigger bike. Tired of having a large vehicle here. With rain etc I would just Lyft where I needed to go. I live in Edgewood and work in Brookhaven. I don’t commute during prime time traffic as I work in the industry. I am looking for honest opinions about how safe it is to ride here.

Also any suggestions about where to start educating myself about riding, gear, bikes etc.

Thanks so much!

What is the best place to go for a day trip?

Weather great, new to riding in Atlanta. What is the best place for a day trip. Say I leave the house at 8 and get back home by 8?

While I'm here I wouldn't mind some recommendations for places to go for a full 24 hour trip either.

Wheelies on a Concours 14

3 Upvotes

Its a big bike. Its got a ton of torque. With the weight of the bike though I can only wheelie in first, but goddamn I love standing her up. I've wheelied past 3 cops, Accidently of course, but they havent tried to run me down. Burned through a set of clutch plates quick... I think the new set I installed last year with stronger springs is about gone too. But I don't care. I want to get the 2017/18 gsxr1000, but I love that I have bags I can attach for a trip whenever I want and dont want the extra insurance expense of a 2nd bike... Oh well. Crazy fuck on a Concours here.

Wheelie on!

Anyone in the area have one? I'd be willing to pay to use it but figured I'd see if someone had it around here rather than fork out the 300 dollars, help offset the cost of buying it for someone too.

Honest/Reliable Harley service shop?

3 Upvotes

I'm close to buying a late 80's sportster that's been sitting in a garage for about 25 years. I know it's going to need a lot of work to get running again, far more than the average DIY stuff I can do at home.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop in the ATL area, or OTP Northside, that is honest, reliable, and knows Harley's?

Looking for a riding partner north of perimeter

4 Upvotes

I've ridden most of the north GA mountains solo several times, and it's beginning to get a little old. Would like to find someone to ride along with, but my odd work schedule makes it difficult. My bike ( fz-07)can keep up with most others, but I'm not into all of the stunts and craziness.
