so u guys wont make the dragon ride? Nope, I thought we were starting everything on Friday, that was the last I heard, so I got our room from Friday till Monday. Skuuter's just tired of me and Kami riding his "edit profanity" down the dragon so he moved it forward a day on us so he could take it easy.  And what's up with the late start times? You needing your beauty sleep in your old age?  Half the reason I come to these rides is the big a$$ breakfast buffet in Gatlinburg. |

OK, You,ve made em' all.....we always leave early on Friday and Saturday, and ride all day (the two official ride days)......Thursday and Sunday I take short rides for Anyone that can arrive early, or stay late....same this year..... ;D With more Riders this Summer, it was harder to get Everyone up and on Their Rucks ready to Ride. We got a late start anyway, so I set a later time to leave, and stickin' to it this time. Now, here is my solution/suggestion for You, Kami, and Chanito and Wifee. We will be back at the Deals Gap Store for lunch on Friday after goin' down Hwy 28 to Fontana Dam. We can wait on Ya'll there, or Ya'll wait on us if You get there first. In case You forgot the Route, it's real simple...... Right out of Docks through Traffic Light About 10 miles, Left onto Foothills Parkway About 17.5 miles, Left on Hwy 129 About 4 miles, You start into The Dragon About 11 miles, Left into the Deals Gap Store Parking Lot Let me know....we will still all have to ride The Dragon out again, Foothills Parkway, and I'll take the twisty backway back into Townsend.......... ;D  ;D ;D YES, Im actually terrified to have so many Valentino Rossi Copies behind me, or passing me constantly...You figured it out....  |

I agree with Joie, that is too late to start, i rather we do it like we did before, have coffee at 6.00 am on the benches in front of the motel, ride to the gas station by 6:30 and be on the ride at 7:00 at the latest, and pick up any slackers on the way back from the gas station, and hope they have a full tank And the Sunday breakfast is a must, specially if Joie pays like last time

I'm pretty sure when we left in April we were planning on doing a short ride Friday for those that arrived then all day Saturday, even Kami thought it was that way as it took him a couple reads before he realized it was Thursday and not Friday. I'm emailing Sharron too see what her bookings look like, if she;s open we'll probably try and make it out Thursday.
Chano if you and Mrs. Chano actually show up I'll buy your breakfast. ;D

FALL RIDE has always had two days of Riding- Friday and Saturday. The year Chanito came, we met Ya'll on Little River Road as You were arriving on Thursday....then we took them shopping at the Stores. Friday we did Cades Cove, Parsons Branch, and The Dragon....Saturday we did the Smokies Park, Clingmans Dome.... ;D There are several good places to eat now in Townsend. Everyone can take care of the eating, gassing (maybe both types... ), etc. and head out at 9:00 AM on Friday and Saturday....plenty of time for the Rides. We were almost an hour late starting at the Summer Ride this year...so, this time no excuses...... ;D |

OK....but, this is what it has been "refined" down to.....here is last year's FALL RIDE....... battlescooter.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=PostandPlanridesandmeets&action=display&thread=5028The "REASONS" for last year's (2008) and this year's FALL RALLY to use Friday and Saturday are...... (1) 3 Times more traffic on The Dragon on Saturday than there used to be (2) Most Folks, as even at the Summer Ride, need Sunday to get Home (us included) All of the Motorcycle Events I Lead, and the ones I attend also use this Format.......SORRY Folks if it gets inconvenient, but I have to do it this way........Maybe Someone else can start setting them up in the area and lead them on other dates in the Future using Saturday and Sunday........ ;D |

OK dad i will be quiet now , but Sunday i am going to get breakfast with the Kaminos I listed that I can ride some on Sunday morning if anyone wants to....no problem...even over to Bennetts Bar B Q. With more Riders as in the Summer Ride, all of it gets more complicated, and much harder to get people up and ready to leave at an early time. It was a nightmare just tryin' to get Everyone up and ready to go to Bennetts. This will most likely be the last one of these I try to do. I really enjoy it, but every route I use means at some point we have to go up and ride them ourselves. I usually end up investing at least 2 to 3 weekends invested in riding, timing, planning....even finding food places, etc. It's really not worth it to me when I have to listen to griping too. I could spend all of these weekends just riding myself and enjoyin' it. Maybe Ya'll can find someone else before next year that can step up to the plate and run the Routes on Saturday and Sunday, and route where You want it to be on those days. I did the best I could, both in the past and this time, and contrary to what Everyone thinks, we have had a lota' time invested in each and every one of these Rides. That includes the dates, etc. SORRY for the inconveniences.......I truely have done the best I know how for the last several years. Please accept the apologies....maybe Blue Ridge could lead Ya'll next year on the upper end of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and some surrounding roads. I've ridden motorcycles quite a bit up there. Some really good roads there too. We rode a route up there during the SEMF FALL FRENZY this year. We can base it out of DOCKS and ride 300+ mile rides easily. Impossible to do, due to the Ruckus top speeds, so if Ya'll move it, it will require another Motel in the area to host it. I introduced Everyone to DOCKS MOTEL and got Them to host it each year, because They are really Great Folks.........See Everyone in a few weeks......I will try my best to see that Everyone has FUN....it's all I can do.........See Ya', skuuter..... ;D ;D ;D |
