    This may sound weird, but if you carry a concealed weapon, check which States have reciprocity with your home state. If you are going to MOTD from Oh, and going thru KY to Tn...you are safe. I had a friend of mine get in a world of s$$t over this.

    We are going to have our own Donut Run. For some reason they changed to official one to a MODERATE run. WTF?

    That's because they don't want you and Dave leaving them so far behind and getting to clear out all the donuts before they even get there!:devil:

    We are driving up from Florida tonight. Any suggestions for getting through or around Atlanta? I ve heard a rumor that I85 through the city is actually not so bad now because everyone is staying clear. Any thoughts, experience?

    Dave when you get a chance can you fill us in on what happened? Was the V1 broken or did they spy you with their detector detector?
