It's called the Watermelon 500 by truckers.

Here is what happens if you drive the 55mph speed limit on a road where most people are running between 70-90mph.

They should all be ticked for impeding traffic.

The head of the GDOT (Georgia DOT) saw it and said everyone could learn from this video and slow down and drive 55mph. It was brilliant and everyone in Atlanta loved it (Except for the people on the 63mile loop which).

Oh yeah quick281. There are some local forums to check out for Georgia.
You have GSB or Georgia Sportbike: http://www.georgiasportbike.com/
Then BSB or Blokes Sportbike: http://www.blokessportbike.com/index.php . Don't let the name fool you. It's Georgia based. They had a split similar to TWF and TWFix. BSB is barely moderated and people have flamed the owner and the owners wife to not be banned. It's Drama central but fun. GSB is more moderated but still a good website. Together they both make a great combo.

Then there is the forum in my signature (www.SEMF.org). My buddy started it and it doesn't get a lot of activity but we are getting more members everyday so it's worth a look see.

Smittie thank for the other sites to check out. When I get back down to GA I will be sure to try and get involved in any rides around the state.

I think I have found a pack that I like.

I don't know if I like how the helmet is held but it does cover some of my desired traits. Despite the fact that most of you don't like Icon, I have been very pleased with the quality of their products. First off the pack is bright and visibility is important to me. It is reasonably priced and seems to offer alot for one pack. The helmet/jacket holder is convienant but does look weird. However I like the idea of the visor section, a small tool compartment, laptop compartment, and a cell phone area. I might give up on the arm pieces, but otherwise I like the bag.

This would not only function like the Mil Spec vests that I believe Ebbs had recommended to me a while ago but would also function as a great backpack.

Edit: I sent Icon a message asking if the product was waterresitant or water proof. If it covers that as well then I am almost game for the thing.

If you are looking for a backpack I got a "Cargo" that is awesome. It's made by Frank Thomas and I got it for school. Fits great.

(Looks more like the camo one with the bungee n the back but also is more grey than the black bag).
