Thanks!!!

well, we got in last night, dragging a$$:butt . the trip was nothing like i expected, it was better:thumbup . rolling down there from flat straight indiana, i had a blast on the turns, the gap is awesome, i wish i had more time to meet and hang out with everyone, " next year".. pete, and everyone involved with the food, you spoiled me. i dont wanna cook for myself anymore:dunno . the trip needs to be longer next year, 4 days 4 me was not enuff !! i know i made new friends, and seen some riders that i can only try to keep up with, there was nothing but good attitudes down there and it stinks comming home. at least i have something positive to look forward to next year, and i know now that i need a cabin at the top of the hill. !! thanks everyone for making my first trip to the dragon one awesome experience. OTIS:fork :fork

Yes that goes for me also, A BIG THANK YOU!!! it was Bill, VroooomR6 who got me interested and I also had a blast,,, They keep saying I should be on a track so in August I had better do as I am told,,, humph and ride fast there instead I met a great bunch who made me feel welcome, the food was good,,, what little I had as it was late on Thursday and I couldnt wait but everything seemed well organized and way cooool I am lucky where I live I have some good roads right on my doorstep but riding with a bunch is a whole lot better than riding alone Anyways count me in for next year Safe Riding Martyn The Brit

NEXT YEAR, you guys did a great job this year, im just selfish :D and didnt wanna come home after 4 days, as a matter of fact i didnt i went back to gatlinburg and rode the smoky mts all day sunday :rock i would like to get a reservation a little closer to everyone next year, that would be the only thing i would probably change.i missed out on the block party friday nite, i was sooo tired after dinner, i just crashed...figures, next year i need to stick around longer. going through the week, was a good idea, avoiding the weekend and all the dragon traffic is smart. thanks chad.

The week is so much better up there. Dude I was so tired every night I don't know how I stayed up. I rode hard everyday for 6 days and then stayed up half the night.:lol I was feeling it thru yesterday and still some today but it is getting better. I think we will shoot of the the same week next year and maybe plan for the whole week because we had a lot of people there the whole week this year anyway. And we always want to make it better so Next year will be even better than this year!!

also, Steve, Marty, and your girls, cool cats ! im totally down for a group bigger cabin next year, Doug, what can i say, thanks for the directions. was happy to meet you all, next year is going to be even better, no doubt about it. now that the ice is broken and i know a few of you, thanks again, and looking forward to our next trip.:fire

this was my second year and plan on bein there next year waiting on chad to set the date and then get my cabin and the people in it back organized so we can be there for teh week im going to try and make it a saturday- sunday event if the other people would like to stay that long

James, I will be there for the full week next year for sure. And, you can count on me to help you guys get everything together anyway I can, just let me know. Need a room "on the hill" too! :rock hint hint Doug :forkBluAreWun:fork

Originally posted by GPD270 Oh hell yeah!!!!! This was my second one and I loved it. Staying down the whole week was the best. Talk about being wore out!!! I'm with you Scott. :iamwithst Glad I took this week off too. Man, I was beat when I got in late Sunday night. I drove non stop the 12 hours there and back. Never really slept too good while I was there. I've made up for that these last two days. It's nice to sleep in to 7 or 8am. Next year I'll be there the whole week. Maybe, even get there on a Saturday or Sunday and spend a week and a few days. Chad, I'm open for any chores that need to be done. :fact Since I always got up early I could be the clean up person. I could go out in the mornings and spend some time cleaning up the food and party areas outside. Just a thought!!! Put me down for something. Food, drinks, clean up or what ever. :fact Randy

I know it was said that one person could be resp. for one nights food. I thought that sounded better.

Originally posted by GPD270 I think as this gets bigger we will need to spread the duties around. I know the food gathering was a burden on Pete and Joe. I know it was said that one person could be resp. for one nights food. I thought that sounded better. Yeah, that would be a good idea. We could still have one person get all the food money and then he could distribute the funds to each person to buy for each night. It will definately have to be spread out more next year especially if we decide to do it for a whole week. another idea is to see if Fontana can provide us food each night and maybe even breakfast. If that is not to expensive then we might could save a lot of trouble and do that. Different options to look at.

just get us a dman date already :) :beer

Or we truck up the food and they cook it for us. The cooking was the pain in a$$ part.

Originally posted by GPD270 Or we truck up the food and they cook it for us. The cooking was the pain in a$$ part. YEah, I am sure. If we have them cook it then we will have them do it all. Pretty sure the dates next year will be the right about the same time as this year's was.

I would like to thank all of you guys for making a nooby feel welcome. This event was awesome. Nothing like the R-1 community. I definetly look forward to next year. :jump

SWALDEN, I'll be looking for you before next years convention in hopes than we can possibly ride down and back together.....I live right off of I65 exit 139.....20 or so mile N of Indy and approx. 460 miles from Robbinsville. I had been planing on making the ride. A change in job schedule prevented me from making what sounds like a great time.

Chad make next year a 2 week convention....:D :beer

Wow, that would be a loooong trip!! LoL!. But I will actually plan next years for the whole week.

Originally posted by gawarrior Wow, that would be a loooong trip!! LoL!. But I will actually plan next years for the whole week. Chad, im sure you have been asked already, and i know you said same time next year, have you looked at a calender and seen actual dates yet ? Marty, steve, otis,doug,willy, are planning a cabin next year and want to make "top of the hill reservations early this year so we dont miss out. any thoughts on the dates bro ? Peace !:thumbup Otis

i have to say i will probably ask for the same cabin again next year and i have a good idea when the dates are just wish he would get everything planned with fontana so i can call and reserve the party cabin again.

I am going to try and call Fontana next week to set up the dates for next year. I will let ya'll know after I do. I have to tell you though, the magnolias on the hill on shuckstack will be few and far between though. I will have one, shane will have one, and depending on what we do with the food, whoever does it will have one too. I think that leaves just one magnolia up there left. No mind you, there are several magnolias very close and also other types of cabins on shuckstack road. I will get ya'll the info very soon though. Glad to hear everyone is excited already about next year:thumbup Maybe we can get around 150 actual attendees next year:dunno

let us know...I was very happy with the location of my cabin and will reserve the same cabin for next year

that sounds great chad

Originally posted by Aron213 let us know...I was very happy with the location of my cabin and will reserve the same cabin for next year :iamwithst at first, I was a little disappointed to be way up on top of the hill, but as the week went on, I was happy with the spot I was in. As soon as you figure out the dates, I'll call and reserve the same cabin for next year. Stu
