Motorcycle Alabama

I did a bunch of demo rides last year.  The line for BMW was really long, like an hour wait much of the time.  Some of the others were much easier and shorter lines.  CFMoto was great.  When you signed up they gave you a card good for the weekend.  Just show up, show the card and pick a bike.

Norton73 you are correct. According to the Barbers website, Moto Guzzi will be there.
It looks like the Aprilia/Moto Guzzi dealership in Douglasville GA will be bringing bikes over.

Moto Morini will be there too. They have a nice looking adventure bike called the X-CAPE.
I would like to try that one out. It's a twin cylinder 650cc for like $8000. The red colored one looks awesome. 

To sign up for the demo rides, its first come first served.
You basically stand in a line to fill out the appropriate paperwork, at whichever bike brand that you wish to ride. Make sure that your drivers license has the motorcycle endorsement on the back.
Helmet, over the ankle shoes/boots, full fingered gloves and long sleeves are usually required.
If you get in line early (like I usually do), you will have a better chance of getting the bike and ride time you want.
There are several Suzuki models that I want to try out. The GSX1000GT and the new Vstrom 800. I want to see if this "old body" can still ride a sport touring bike.

I was not aware that Moto Guzzi was going to be there with demo bikes.
I did see where Moto Guzzi will be at TWO in Suches on September 20-22, with their demo fleet. I would like to go up there but have other commitments that weekend.
 

Damn, it's up to 19 now!  Been every year, always have a house full of out of towners and racers. Can't wait.

Anyone know how to sign up for test rides? There's a couple bikes I'm looking at that I'd like to ride. New Himalayan 450, Triumph 400, maybe one of the new MG v100s.

Got a few things together to donate to the effort.

I'm still a cruiser guy and not doing many rides other than a daily commute.  Still, I did get out this weekend to get some photo tags for a few motorcycle forums including this one.  I have a hosted site, but still had to use tapatalk, but I'm grateful for that.

I've updated that thread and look forward to others reporting in.

For the next mark

Your bike in front of any structure on the National Register of Historic Places such as this one I made with Grace Episcopal Church in Montgomery County.

How convenient that we have a whole section dedicated to those structures:

So while you're getting the photo, update the thread even if it's a repeat ;)

Take your pick between this lovely swamp or cattle pond

"Valley of the Banned" That's really funny. I would be afraid to go there....!

A bunch of the folks from Adv, especially a bunch of the folks I know from going to RDV and Notta Rallies, are over at Valley of the Banned
