Weekend ride in the North Georgia mountains. Part 1: Helen
The first destination of our ride was to Helen, GA which really transforms into a little slice of Bavaria during Oktoberfest. We were surrounded by festive music, delicious German food, and of course, plenty of beer! The scenic ride through the North Georgia mountains was a beautiful experience too.
Many people wore traditional Bavarian attire (lederhosen or dirndl). We made sure to pace ourselves because there was a lot to taste and drink, but also a lot of
dancing, singing, and contests.
Helen has the longest lasting Oktoberfest in the United States, starting in September and ending in October.

    As a long time mechanic. I tell people UA-cam repairs. I recommend to remove the drain plug for at least 30 minutes to completely drain the system, especially if it was running before the service. I then install the plug, filter, add the amount of oil the manufacturer specify, which on my Royal Enfield Himalayan to be 2 quarts. I then I'm leave the kickstand down in first gear and crank the engine with the clutch lever pulled. The bike will not start because of the kickstand down in first gear , but the engine will turn over priming the oil filter. After about 5-10 seconds of cranking, I put it in neutral and start it.

They have a leftover 23 1200 Rally Expedition ,same color as yours, on a clearance sale. $6k off sticker. It's a tall bike for my 5'9" height, but watching you ride, I think I can handle it. The BMW GS 1250 IS $9K More than this bike. I can do a lot of traveling for that amount of money. It's got the 30 liter extended fuel tank. My friends Daughter just moved to Germany.

Yes, I've been looking at videos on the Triumph compared to the BMW GS1250. Saving $9,000 compared to a GS is nice. Only issues I see is cost of 20k valve adjustment service and the fact of dropping it would be much harder for me to pick up. I've watched girls pick up a GS Because they only fall at a 45° angle. $19,000 for a new 23 Triumph Tiger Rally Expedition with the 8 gallon tank and loaded is a really good price

I looked at the 900 like you have and both bikes were equipped with optional low seat. For $2k more for the 1200 is a better deal. It's the white/ flat black. I've been watching a lot of GS1250 comparison to the Triumph 1200 videos today. The Rally Expedition was aimed at being a better bike than the GS.

    I have seen a couple of other motorcycle Channels feature Helen. I have it saved on my phone as a motorcycle destination. It looks very nice for a Tourist Trap. I have never been to Gatlinburg TN either. My Sister worked for a Water Ski Show Company near there one summer. I have been to Europe 3 times snow skiing. Riding up the chairlifts I met friendly nice people from all over the World, most could speak pretty good English. The only people that I met who were not friendly to the point of being Rude were Germans. In Germany driving on the Autobahn, I have never seen more Polite and Curious Drivers. Driving down the highway at 90 MPH you put on your turn signal and other drivers will flash their headlights and give you room to change lanes. If you put on your Turn signal in Michigan often times people will floor it and cut you off so you can't change lanes to get to the turn lane or exit. I started riding a street bike again in 2017. Being aware and cautious of all of the people who text and drive ect I was worried that 4 wheelers might not give a two wheeler any leeway. Turns out most of the time people gave my motorcycle a bit of extra room and leeway. That is until I got into morning Rush hour in Detroit. No one would give an inch they were tailgating and would not let me change lanes. Made me wish I was driving a large truck or a big beater car I would rub fenders with them.

      @@Sowatha13 I took one year of French in High School. I can read a little but can't speak it. Not really one year more like 1 hour per day 5 days per week for 5 months. My Uncle took both French and Spanish and could still speak it 40 years later. I had plans to buy and Adventure Bike and ride it to Alaska to visit my Uncle, but he passed way from Prostrate Cancer. He never answered his Land Line and no Answering machine. I had planned to write him a snail mail letter, then I learned he had passed away. He went to College on a Full Musical Scholarship. In AK he worked as a Surveyor such as on the Alaskan Pipe line. He was into Running and Mountain Bike Riding and snowshoeing. He won the Equinox Marathon then 30 years later he won his age group. Two of his good running friends Mother & Son were killed by a Grizzly while running in the Chugiak State Forrest. You are actually not supposed to Run in Bear County, it make the Bear then you are Pray like a running Deer ect.

He never even learned that I have a pet door for cats in my front door and a Dog door that I closed off in the back door. Since he has never lived indoors, I don't think he knows that is missing anymore luxuries.

      @@Sowatha13 I saw a flash of fur in the Spring about 3 years ago run into my dog pen that had an open door. I walked over to investigate. It was a small teen aged cat he was bounding off from the fence to get away from me, so I left so he could get away. I did not know that Cat was still around until it snowed and I saw cat Tracks in the snow. So there was a Summer and Fall that I never fed him. I started feeding on around Thanksgiving and he finally got tame enough to let me pet him on Valentines day. He was a very small and skinny cat for his Age. He has since grown quite a lot and now he has his thick winter fur. Since Raccoons were getting into shed through the pet door and knocking the feeder off the shelf spilling the feed and water and pooping on everything, I started feeding him daily from a dish . Now he waits for me by the back door every morning to feed him. Sometimes this Summer I would only see him every other day.

    I used my motorcycle for errands and Transportation over the weekend here in Michigan 41-F. Still no heated Vest or Neck gator used. I passed a Cruiser bike in the City. The guy pulled up next to me at a red light on a Honda Shadow 450. He was grinning ear to ear, he said it was his first day on the motorcycle he got it that day. He said he loves riding. They are predicting snow and below freezing temperatures this week here in Michigan.

      @@Sowatha13 I told you about meeting the rider who was riding his new to him bike for the first time because I know you have a Riding School. Friday I rode my Motorcycle 8 miles to the small Town of Scotts MI where My Grandfather grew up for the Memorial of my 88 Year old 2nd Cousin. Then I went X more miles down the highway into the City to get some Groceries at Sam's Club. At the Memorial my 3rd Cousin invited me to a Birthday party at a Sports Bar for Saturday. The Party had been planned as a Birthday for Both my Second and 3rd Cousin Father and Son that is since they both have November Birthdays, but my Cousin passed away while working outside trying to start his Motor Home with his Grandson helping him. My Third Cousin had a Stoke 10 years ago while at the Breakfast Table on a Snowmobile Vacation in Northern MI. He lost the use of his Right Arm and his Left Leg which really leaves him stuck in a bed. His Wife takes care of him all day long every day. His wife was known to be a bit crazy. At the Memorial I thought she looked a lot better, more normal more alert. She told me that she had stopped drinking 2 years ago. Her drinking had gotten so bad that she had to commit herself to a rehab. Anyway, now that she does not drink at all she is doing night and day better and takes really good care of her Husband.

    Good Evening Lovely Lady, Lordy I miss riding Georgia! I've been on the phone with a customer that wants to rally next year but needs work done first. I'm recommending your videos because I enjoy your brand of riding. As a recovering alcoholic I have my reasons for avoiding large crowds especially of drinkers but the beer fests of Germany I always enjoyed. I miss the potato stands where you could have a baked potato filled with your favorites and it was a meal. All the things I have fallen in love with as I traveled the world can be found here in America. Yes I am including you my friend! Please keep sharing your rides and trips, you are an inspiration for riders looking for more than a Friday bike night at their local dealer. I'm not one for using the computer to find fests but I have marked my calendar for that time of year in Georgia. Just like riding the foliage tour in the north east, the end of summer does not mean the end of a riding season. Here in Missouri the temps were slightly below freezing when I headed out and dropped 17 degrees before i got myself and the bike home but it was terrific and I did see two other riders today. REMEMBER; if it's above freezing and dry roads, just dress correct and enjoy the ride. Thank You very much Miss Sowatha, my friend, I look forward to part 2. Queen will be sitting beside me again as we watch that one very soon. With Love and Respect, you are in my prayers Hoka Hey
