We've decided to go to Cruising at Spirit of the Suwanee on the 23rd. I've been accumulating parts to build a '27 T woody but need to clarify a few things before I start. It's going to be a hot trip this time of year in the lotus.

We found the older bikers friendly and really good people. It was mostly some of the younger ones who were hostile. I figured they watched too many episodes of Orange County Choppers.

Personally I couldn't care less but it makes my wife feel uncomfortable. You know the saying about if momma isn't happy nobody is happy. We went to a Friday note cruise in a while back. The folks were real clickish. They were polite but didn't really want to answer any questions. I went mainly to get some questions answered about a '27 T woodie I have been collecting parts to build. Never got the answers.

I'm planning on going to the next Daytona Turkey Run but was wondering how the street rod crowd would react to a 7. Showed up at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally one year with a Goldwing trike. Some of the Harley types were insulted that not only did I show up with 3 wheels but they were made in Japan too. Tried to tell them that I was too much of a nonconformist to ride a Harley but they never did understand. The funny part is that I was there the year before with a BMW sidecar rig and they thought it was "kool". If anyone has any tips about the turkey run I would like to hear those also.

I would like to pull a small motorcycle type trailer behind my birkin. There would not be much weight. Need it to carry luggage (i.e. wife's crap) when we go to a multiple day event. Has anyone here installed a hitch on their Birkin?

I have both a corvette and a seven. Thrill factor goes to the seven. Even after a long line of vettes and pony cars the one car I always enjoyed driving on the street was a lowly Tiumph Spitfire. That quirky raw no frills driving experience that only a British sports car can provide.

You wouldn't be from Georgia would you? Sounds like a story I would hear around here.

Actually I am out of the doghouse. We tooled around in it for several hours yesterday until there were too many thunderstorms to avoid. I think she likes it but wont admit it to me.

Already done. I had to wait until the GA insurance database was up again and it sailed right thru.

In GA. The state has a list of documents that it will accept. A binder letter, added to state insurance database, a letter of insurance coverage are all acceptable. I suspect that what I had did not specifically say any of these things they were reluctant to accept them. With jobs hard to find these days they probably do not want to lose theirs. They were as nice as could be but those who made the regulations are really the ones to blame.

Had a copy of the policy and the declarations page. They would not accept either.

Check the Brunton site. The m-spec has a hood option that has different lights that are not pod mounted.

Tried the smart phone. Unless I had a printer hooked up to it it wasn't valid. Their fax machine and the insurance database system were both down.

I already drove it from PA to south GA (900 miles or so). I was just missing the smile.

Only 3 trips to DMV and I have tags. Considering the horror stories I've heard here I am rather pleased at "only" 3 trips.
