After being stuck in Memphis for 40 years im getting out. Moving just north of Columbus Ms, town of Caledonia. Been riding and racing 50+ years street and dirt. Love twisty roads (ex roadracer) and dualsport riding. Hoping to meet and find the good roads and gravel. Plan to be moved by the end of April maybe a little sooner. 

Looking for a cool place to ride to that is within 30 or 40 miles of Laurel.  By cool, I mean non-boring roads and an interesting destination.
Tired of Hattiesburg.  Looking for the road less traveled.  The destination can be food, a nice view, or a bike shop.  

Any ideas?

It's time to start a project thread to chronical the restoration of my 2003 YZF600R Thundercat that my son crashed back in May of 2018.

I bought the bike in June 2011 as a commuter scooter, and it has served me well. I commuted from Laurel to Bay Springs five days a week for four years before slacking off some. It saved me more that eight grand in fuel during that time, which means it paid for itself three times over. It has been super reliable. I've never even had the engine open.

30K on the clock when I bought it, and 123K when my son rear-ended a Kia on I-59. It's a crazy story that involves a rogue golf cart coming off of a trailer. But that's a story for another thread.

We recently acquired nearly all of the parts, mostly forks and plastics, that we need to bring it back to its former glory.
We've been running the engine about once a week to keep the carbs clean, and the battery charged.

I'm going to post the after-crash pictures and then go from there.

The subframe that holds the seat is tweaked to the right.
Forks are toast
Upper fairing stay is bent
Plastics are scuffed and broken.
Headlight tabs are broken off.
Left rider peg is broken.
Mirrors and front turn signal are wasted.
Frame slider is used up.
Rear tire is flat-spotted, but may be usable.

It's time to wake up this website. MississippiRides.com is a site for those of us who simply love to ride. We can't be bothered with the drama and the club's, but we still need the support of fellow riders.
If that's you, please register and post about your riding experiences.
