Bmadd34 -- when you get a chance to organize all your materials, I suggest you tell your document end-to-end trip as a Trips/Ride Reports forum topic.  I think it will be an interesting story well-told.

That is a handsome idea Bert. I will probably get started on that this coming up week.

Okay Guys, I am now planning the first leg of the trip. I will be visiting Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. That's five dealerships as of right now. I would like your input as to the questions I should ask the owner/Rep. I want to keep a few of the generic questions as is, like how long in the business, what brought you to RE, etc. What are some of the questions you would like answered?

I will be heading out tomorrow night to be in Nashville Tennessee by 9 the following morning. Then off to Lexington KY and Ohio. 4 dealerships, 1,500 miles and 28hrs of riding. Should be fun.

    I have spoken with Carl and was originally supposed to stop by there. But, he is getting out of the RE game, so, he said not to bother stopping by.
