In the early 80s Penny and I used to stop at the Georgia Pig just across the Georgia border on I-95 on our way home from Florida. Pretty scary the first time when the door slammed shut behind us and we couldn't see anything until our eyes adjusted to the dark. But the smoke and smell of the BBQ convinced us we were in the right place.
A decade or so back, I went to take some friends there after the Daytona bike races, but it was closed. I see now that it is has moved to Jacksonville.
That was at the US17 exit near Brunswick. When I worked in Brunswick that was a regular lunch spot for our crew. Next time you come through check out Willie Jewel's BBQ just a wee bit south of there at the Yulee, FL exit, turn east on A1A and a few blocks to US17 Intersection. Really fine BBQ at this place but not the "backwoods" atmosphere of The Pig.

I know about Coopers, been by there once but didn't stop; wish I had because they have a fine reputation. Texas Hill Country is my favorite place to ride, great roads, great food and Texans are the world's friendliest folks. We need to have a Forum rally there.

Your mission, Mr redbirds, should you choose to accept it, is to organise the 2019 rally!
RE: Sparky's New Ride - redbirds_imp - 01-21-2018
We drive to Tampa tomorrow to pick up Sparky's "new" CB1100 and have a potential buyer for her V-strom driving down from NC later this week. Things are happening fast.

Okay, but you and Ptero have to make it.

I preferred the Cooper's located in Mason. In Llano I'd get distracted by the BBQ at Lairds and Inman's Kitchen. (And while I never liked their BBQ as much I always got a kick out of Brother's). A good BBQ joint always make for a great road trip stop. Love the pic of the bikes parked with the pit in the background.
By the way redbirds, also looking forward to seeing pics of the "new ride".

Got in late last night after our turn and burn to Tampa, Fl. Sparky is thrilled with the new CB and is already planning the mods to make it her's. The former owner (Thanks Hunter) was careful about having all scheduled maintenance done thus bike has had a recent valve check, oil change and new plugs done by the dealer. Bike is pristine and looks like new.
